ITT: Post maps/scenes that never saw the light of the day.

To be fair, this map did saw the light of the day, but I've trashed it shortly afterwards.

It was to be a funnel map. Funnel in UT is a game of spam frags, you place all spawn points in some narrow space and weapons with splash damage at the end of some corridor. The idea is to score multi kills easily, untill some player make its way out and kicks whoever was spamming before him. I trashed the map because it doesn't fit the funnel idea, there is a cube in the middle with a teleport inside the black sphere that randomly teleports player to one of the six funnels connected to the cube with seamless portals to give the illusion of a distorted space. The spawn points aren't placed in the cube, but in the funnels, where there is a nuclear warhead floating in the middle, they can't be placed in the cube because it's a gravity zone that drags everything towards the "black hole".

The idea came from this:

I've been working on this map where I've tryed to recreate a part of the AMC The Walking Dead's Prison, I've got so much problems which the props that doesn't appear when compile, the lighting, the scavenger gamemode and the source scripting that.....ppfffffff

I really want to publish this map but I'm demoralized when I simply open it. May be I should start it from scratch again to work on a clean projectn and get some help from someone that knows Source better than me

It's a shame for this work not to see the light. The Walking Dead would make a perfect setting for a L4D map.

You could always start a WIP thread and post the problems in details with compile logs and what not, and I'm pretty sure you will get help from the many members around here who know a thing or 2 about Source .

It would be also aweome if you branch this campaign into 3 maps: the first in the prison, the second sees the survivors escaping through the woods and the third/finale takes place after they reach the terminal (all plot credits go to AMC ).

Thx will2K, i'll create a thread as you said because in fact, I was so disappointed by myself yesterday that I've started it again from zero and add a friend on the project. It revives me to finish this work!

Previously, i was making this map to be played as a scavenger map, but your idea of making a three-part campaign is really interesting... Even if I have absolutely no idea of how to make a campaign like that.

We're are just thinking about making it after the season 4 event so we can, first, have more flexibility on the prison design with destroided parts.

So this project is walking and isn't dead anymore

This thread is really making me want to dust off some of my millions of canned maps! I really want to dust off my Hammer and make some levels again as well!

Just do it

At the very least, here are some very old maps that I never finished. Made for Battlegrounds 2 8 years ago:

I remember you posting those shots as if it were yesterday.

lol yup me too

still looks good!

Hah, that is awesome. Glad I am bringing back some nostalgia, was not expecting anybody to remember them! I have one more old school image from the same time:

This still holds up!

I still like the general composition and colours. The actual implemtation of it all is a bit ropey, it was my final year uni project, so was really rushed by the end. These are the final shots of it:

Those shots were not aided by the Source engine's lighting at the time, it would look a lot better now simply because the engine handles sunlight a lot better. Still nice though!

Yeah, that is a good point.

Old video about old mod, with panels.

I guess it's safe to put this here since I haven't touched it in 2 years. This is my journey of making my very first map for unreal3 engine for Red orchestra 2 which I was modding back then. This is all from my dropbox folder, too lazy to re-upload everything to a better place. Sorry in advance if the links stop working, etc.

It was supposed to be a Territories map in a thick forest that is only cut by a river and a road. It would only have a few buildings that would serve as main bases for the teams. It never got that far that it had those buildings in place

First started with this to get familiar with the tools.

Hurray, it's a forest!

My ground material in action.

Here's more of the mask I made to get rid of the tiling, It's using a mask texture which looks like an army camoflage which is blended with itself at 1x scale and 10x scale. Then replaced the green with another ground texture.

Got my hands on some trees, they apparently needed some modifications.

[Blocked Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44433595/tyrja/testimappi5.jpg]

Here's the trees fixed, they had to be completely remade and lodded to work better in the engine. I made a winter variation for them as well.

Pine trees from the modding fellows, again modified by me to work in UE3 and ground clutter made by me.

I made a road.

First actual screenshot of the map itself now that it has some trees and textures in place.

Some more ground models made by the modding team, again exported and modified to fit UE3 by me.

Then some grass and rocks. We were planning on making some smaller rocks as a foliage meshes as well. I wish I had made some better looking grass back then.

Beauty shot.

My take on making some better looking rocks.

And here's the last screenshot ever made of the map. I made the sunlight to use real world angles for a summer morning and some fog that would arise from the moisture of the forest.

Bonus videos:

Little runaround of the map with some shitty music in the backround

Testing Tree destruction

I have so much, but I have to compile a lot

Anyway, I found this on wayBackMachine: (click it, it's a gif)

It was my signature on the specialists forum. Making that door explode like that was a a lot of work for half life 1

It was for a update of ts_gpc where the map would go bigger on a certain amount of players, but I never released it.

So happy I founded that image back

I have waaaaaay too many unfinished things; though a lot of them have been lost to the void at this point

Here's a few WiP shots of the first UT3 map I ever made(Never released it)

Made it following some simple editor tutorials to start, just kept adding to it.

There's a few more screenies of this and some more uncomplete stuff on my ModDB I think, if anyone cares to look, and I would post screenshots of a bunch of my CS:S maps that I made ages ago, but alas, they are lost.

Hopefully I'll be finishing more things soon and releasing them too.

This was a Garry's mod map I just stopped working on in favor of CS:GO maps. It was to be used for Prop Hunt, or Hide 'n Seek.

It was based off of a apartment complex I had passed by. The actual interior was inspired by images from Google.
