Guys, stahp. How u do dis

Quote from Leigh

Welcome Raste! Nice map as well!

After seeing all the great work you guys have been putting up I decided my map simply wasn't good enough and I've gone back to scratch to try and create something better. I'm happier with it now than I was before but I still think it has plenty of issues, I seem to struggle from getting away from boxy rooms it seems!

Here are some screenshots.

The flag will sit in the middle of these ramps.

From this angle you can see out into the main area of the level.

The main area is made up of 3 levels, I've tried to make it look like two buildings connected by bridges, two on each floor. The top level bridge can also be reached by a jump pad from the basement and the middle level has a jump pad up as well.

So yeah... Still not entirely happy with my work but I'm happier with this than the last level.

Also the shortest time between the two flags is about 20 seconds, it's right through the middle of the level though with opportunities to be hit from almost anywhere else on the map, so it would be unlikely to be a successful route.

Those sight lines look a wee bit long, not sure how that would play out.

Very badly I imagine, so I've started again (for a 3rd time!)

... it's a learning process for sure

hehe it's not a competition, it's a challenge

hey i liked yours too

Wow, good stuff guys! This all looks super sick!

Have you ever thought of turning your talents in to getting a real life job Chris?

I contest this result on the grounds of . . . 'Merica!

It is looking great though. I hope I have time to get mine done and submitted.

I haven't even began adding static meshes to mine yet. I have a basic style in mind for my new map though. A very tech based look with smooth and rounded details.

Opens up the example map to give it a shot.

Places first bsp, extrudes onces, scales in y, press undo hotkey, CRASH!

It feels just like UE3! ;D

hehe yeah the undo is really flaky - I usually save before undoing bsp changes, or simply delete it and start again ... yay for 0.5m grid

Yeah I guess I'm just gonna take my time and make it right and learn how to built it right the first time

Super annoying, but well, all in all the bsp tools are a lot better than before!

Edit: I have the latest version and keep on getting very weird crashes, all when navigating camera and working with bsps. It's probably just me though, it usually is.

Edit 2: SRSLY WTF! I'm just getting random crashes doing nothing special, like changing the length of steps in a stair etc. I have no clue of what's going on.

yeah that's a little messed up, although my editor is not 100% stable it doesnt crash that often.

That being said, I only use the box shape

I haven't had any crashes yet. But I did accidentally turn my entire level into cubes. yeah...

some progress, static meshes will be soon. Deciding if i want to make my own or use what they have.

You can get more details on the UT4 WIP thread I have regarding feedback for game play.
