I am making a DoD:s map.

I already told you guysITS NOT SUBDIVIDE

yeah because im not using subdivide all day long atm.

I can't speak for the roof as ive not seen its destroyed form but there's a 99.9% chance it is subdivided. The bridge arch was 100% created in that way

oh snap

I don't even get why that bridge is displacement in the first place but whatever

interesting

Quote from JeanPaul

Okay okay, so did you subdivide a MUCH wider version and then just clip off the wider parts? Or how did you do this? EXPLAIN PLZ

On another note, I have another question to ask you guys, I started orangemapping last night and so far I have the bridge part of the map (main centerpiece) mapped length wise..........BUT its 4096 units long! Is that too long? Keep in mind that there will be huge mounds of rubble a fallen buildings blocking most of the view, but is that too long for one straight road?

Its up to you. Sounds pretty long. Just throw a big freakin box around it, throw a few lights around, compile, and go run around on it. If it seems too big, make it smaller. At least thats what I do because my perception of space is awful. 90% of the time I compile its because I don't know if something is too big or too small(usually too big, I always make things too big ).

I am also not sure why they made the bridge a displacement. I would have brushed it personally, but hey.. what do I know. I'd just make a cylinder on its side with twice the desired number of segments(in this case, 32), then vertex manipulate boxes until they're as close to the vertices of the cylinder as possible. But then again, I suck.

I would have thought drawing a layout (put in something for scale, draw what you think 512 units should be on your layout) - making it into a texture and using it in hammer as an image plane to flesh out the layout.

4096 is massive though, totally depends on the type of bridge - large suspension bridge, maybe. Just a regular dod bridge then I think it's way too long imho. Boring for everybody except snipers - and I don't think we should be encouraging more sniper-whoring.

How the fuck did you do that bridge?

probably selecting certain faces and subdividing instead of selecting all?

yea, the outer faces. if you select the inner ones as well you get a weird result.

I never thought of keeping the outer faces.

im definitely one to have linear maps, but that's just kind of a maze. i have a feeling it'll turn into a "stab the sniper in the back fest" where people go the long way round and shoot people in the back. im sure you can say "well thats a good thing, use strategy and cover your ass" or some such, but that doesn't happen on the internet.

dod is pretty meh anyway with their ridiculous cone fire crap

but gl with your map

ah the venetian bridge excellent concept. I must ask you not to use cs_italy windows, however, as they are slightly ... well, hideous

I think this map will be fantastic, I love the way you've set up the buildings on the bridge, it makes me wonder why I didn't think of it looking at my giant book of Venetian photographs :3

edit: I must say, this would be a perfect opportunity to learn some 3d/2d art wink wink

I CAME

oh btw, next time use the last link imageshack gives you or a different and faster host. everyone's gonna click for the full image anyway, and sometimes the image doesn't come up at all when using the thumbnail crap.

yeah uploadhouse.com please

Just a random piece of advice, which may or may not be important to you. The longer your map's name, the harder it'll be for people to remember how to spell it and type it in the console should they wanna play it.

As for the map, I'll be looking forward to seeing it progress. I could beta test it in the future
