Yeah same here. This is the first big map that I'm creating. I learned a lot about various things while working on this project (Time management, level design, hammer editor ). I'm sure my map won't be as good as anyone else but it doesn't matter. I made some good friends and also got a chance to show my map on livestream (in playtesting).That's a really big thing for me. I had so much fun making this map.

My college exams are starting from 18th so might not have finished my map at 24th. So although I didn't ask for deadline extension, I really appreciate 1 more month and more playtesting.

woaahh!! thanks...

@Xanthi Hii thank you for playing my map yesterday (ramelle). I'll follow your tips and change things as you said.

And about that ramelle bridge, it was near objective C .

Up for alpha testing.

It doesn't look good yet. Will change the textures and few other things in final build.

Let me know what you think.

Ramelle (Offensive) game mode

Thanks a lot for second playtest. Still many things to change. Will change area of weapon cache completely in final build.

off topic: (I'm new to hammer)

So I moved assets(materials and models) from insurgency and csgo by GCFscape(extracting vpk files and moving them to /doi/custom folder) . Now at the time of uploading my map do I have to do any additional thing ? Do I have to pack that models and materials? If yes then how can I do this? If someone can provide link/guide for packing stuff it would be great.

Great. I'll try to finish as much as possible until 3rd. Thanks.

We all can do play test together if everyone is ready(maybe after a week)?

In the live stream they said that content from Insurgency is fine. They also said you could use any content from other Valve games, but someone clarified in the comments that Valve only gave NWI permission to do so and anything else would have to be cleared through them. People have been swapping content between Valve games for years though so even if it was a problem, you could just replace anything if your map got into the game.

oh ok. I'll just use from insurgency for now.

Can we use assets from insurgency ?

oh sad. Finish it later at least. Your insurgency map "convoy" was great.

You don't even have to do this most of the time, it only matters a bit for the areas you actual go inside, but for most games you won't enter every room of every building, that's why you get away with illusions. It's never easy to make interiors and exteriors match perfectly, and many games don't even try, you load inside where the interior is twice as big as it should be (rpgs) and nobody blinks an eyelid that you've actually gone inside a Tardis. Or walls are 1 meter thick because you didn't care enough to solve for it.

Yeah well thats right.

Thanks

So right now I'm creating map for day of infamy mapping contest. I dont have much mapping experience I'm new to this.

I got many reference about houses (exterior) however I'm finding it hard to make interior of it. Like where to put stairs in specific building or where that room should be or size of the room and size of house OR how to connect different rooms in house. How/where can I learn more about that ?

Yes. If no enemies are alive then game will end in last objective (Charlie) if all waves are finished.

Here's some help of the actual movie set (if you haven't found this yourself)

Thanks a lot.

I added an additional railroad bridge back then because the single bridge in the center was too open and almost impossible to pass choke point.

Yeah good idea. I'm thinking to add something like walk way in river so they can pass(2nd way) and maybe will block the area inside water. Like this:

For objective A it'll be a big house or church after very big open area(ground).
