de_marmitewars test release!! Created 20 years ago2004-09-15 09:01:05 UTC by Playbus

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.

why couldnt you just put it in the MV?

What's the MV? :

oh Map Vault 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.

It in there now.

Thanks.

dont rate oyur own maps! its immature and stupid!

sorry, I'm a noob

then cure yourself. think before acting.

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.

I hope this redeems me to some extent.

oh by the way i tried to join but missing wad and well the link in maps vault doesnt work! and ur url link at top of this post doesnt work either so i cant test it but but the looks of the pic in map vault

i think it looks okish (at least its got new textures!)
thats all i can say as i havent seen it all and havent seen enitiy setup, brush setup etc hopefully u will fix it k

well done

Just remove the %20%20 from the url and it should work

Sorry for the URL problem in the map vault, it should now work.

Downloading...

I hate Marmite... will comment in the 'Vault.

Thanks

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

im a god

• 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

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.

ZLs no god >:D Lololo puny immortals.
