Hello

I've been mapping for 12 days now, and this is my first map.

Well, I did all the tutorial stuff and made some crap partial maps before this (to learn about hammer), but this is the first map I've got to a point where it's fully playable.

I'd really appreciate any comments on anything I've done wrong, what I've done right, whether I have potential at this, or if I should give up and go back to making Red Alert 2 missions (I do that too ;) )

If you've never heard of the characters Weebl and Bob, then it is unlikely that the theme of this map will make much sense to you. It is a fun map (because of the general theme), but at the same time it's a serious DE map too. None of this fy or aim crap. (hehehe)

Download the map using this:

http:\www.atpn17.dsl.pipex.comde_marmitewars.zip

I'm sure you know where to put the files ;)

So, comments and suggestions appreciated. :D

oh Map Vault :confused: silly me

because I want to get it finished first - at this stage I am after some feedback.

There are a few changes I've already noticed that need doing myself, but I want to wait until I have a few corrections to make before compiling it all again.

ok so I will go put it in the mapvault. I'd never been in there. Sorry for the triple post. :|

unfinished vault is the place for that sort of map. ;)

then cure yourself. think before acting.
Posted 20 years ago2004-09-15 12:00:08 UTC Post #59568
I will never again rate my own map.

In fact I have developed a morbid fear of the rate button and probably won't be able to bring myself to click on it ever again. :(

I've resubmitted the map so my erroneous rating of it is no longer there. :D

I hope this redeems me to some extent.

ok i tried it out and heres wat i think:

well its quite good for first release (better than my 1st ho ho : )

+i like the adverts!
+quite a big map
-i noticed the vents cud be bigger so u dont have to crouch every second
-cud be a few more lights in vents
-noticed that wen u jump in water thingie u die then u start again but with less health?

apart from that i must admit its good fun but can seem boring after a while (not sure why though)

keep up the good stuff and maybe u cud be as good as the mapping gods above us

cough cough seventh,zombie,mini,etc cough cough

  • Good for a first map
  • Fairly decent layout
  • Use texture lighting! Tutorial on it on your left
  • Wierd doors that you have to jump to get through?
  • Nasty texture stretching
  • Crazy scale, really narrow corridors, some really low ones
Just practise, keep going, and your work will get better quickly :)

Thankyou all for your comments :D

The thing about the deadly water, it's supposed to kill you but I forgot until after I'd compiled it that I meant to make it slime rather than water. I don't know about starting with less health after it kills you - that hasn't happened to me.

I've been playing it a bit online (a nice clan put it on their server for me, IP above) and it seems to be fun.
