This might be good, this might go nowhere. I'm entering the contest with a 60s inspired villains lair, forgotten and then rediscovered in the present. Dilapidated from the years of neglect. Vintage interiors, lagoon like exteriors. Here's a mood sheet of some of the interiors.
Exterior mood sheet.
I'll be back, probably.

Thanks a lot man!
Finally got some custom models working
Detailing really do make a difference:
This works for me! I believe this is also beneficial for the game as a whole. The more maps that is really well made and not rushed to meet a deadline, the better in the long run as i supposed the winners and runner ups will be in the game after the comp. (correct me if im wrong) So, lets get to it. Hf

Thanks
here!

Can someone recommend an app to pack content for Day of Infamy!?
Thanks in advance
@Andre Valerahttp://www.tophattwaffle.com/packing-custom…e-in-steampipe/ Hey Andre Valera, this method worked for my map. Had to import the overview manually.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=792738054 Here's my map. Well, an early build of the map. But its playable. I am so looking forward to a lot of input and critique, and a lot of great times on everybodys creations. I hope i packed everything all right. The map is called Mairie, an offensive gamemode map. Here's the description from the workshop page:
Quote Mairie is a combination of my favorite day of defeat maps, taking you all the way back to the betas with dod_heutau and dod_ramelle, while also broadening op the areas for a more day of infamy tuned map.
The map is still work in progress, as you will notice when playing. Right now, i think the basic map layout is right about there, but i am more than open to suggestions concerning the ins and out and future changes for the better.
Things that needs attention in order of importance:
- The innards of the city hall - Axis spawn area and adjacent streets - Backalley route from centre ville to pont - Backalley route from centre ville to jungle
Anyways, im looking forward to playtesting the map and a lot of valuable critique
Compiling ATM. 
Its going to look sketchy, but it'll play. Will any changes made to the maps on the workshop also carry over to the maps on the server? Like, if i where to add something new to the map, will it upade on the server?
Is there aaaaanyway to have a screenshot and story for when the map is loading?
Quote from Radu3 hours ago, Radu said: If you want to play it safe, go for sunny. People tend to prefer that kind of setting.
It's the truth!
Okay so it's getting there. Dont want to post a lot of screenshots because i can never seem to get a shot without an orange wall or some placeholders, and that kind of annoys me. I'm really struggling between having the map take place on a rainy day or on a sunny day. Right now im messing around with the sun, and it just looks more appetizing. Then again, gloomy, rainy weather just brings a lot to the table when it comes to the mood and feel. Im torn.. Does anybody have some input? I'm thinking about making a run through the map on video, so when time comes to play it, people know the layout and it doesn't seem all that foreign. I often have a hard time getting into maps if they're too complicated to navigate in the first two or three playthroughs, and so i really don't want it to be alienating. Well, anyway. Just a bit of a ramble. Don't know if it made any sense. Here's a picture of a garage/storage room leading out to middle.
Such a good idea! I'll be there for sure
This map looks too neat! Looking forward to playing this one for sure
Okay so just a couple of photos. Getting my lighting as i want it (gloomy). My middle is almost done, capture point B will be there, inbetween those plant beds (is that a word,even?) I keep adding smal new routes to the map, so getting a large overview is kinda hard atm. Hope to have more soon. My deadline for playtesting is stil November the first. Fingers crossed i'll make it.
Quote from zastels1 hour ago, zastels said: It's tricky to map on angles like that, 200% more work I would say. Definitely worth it though, it looks natural and compelling.
Yeah it gets kinda tricky, cutting brushes and aligning models, but hell. It also gets kinda boring when every street and road is on a 90 degree angle.

Thanks mr yoon!
Little update on the project. Im currently working on a deadline that is 1st of November. There i hope to be able to have the map in such a state that is it ready to playtest. I shall have a map overview ready soon, but i want it to look good and not just be a top down screenshot. Here's there latest pathway from middle leading up towards capture point C.
