Map Description

This map has a discussion topic which can be visited here

I know the middle-eastern setting has been done a billion of times before (dust-like maps tend to be popular and widespread), but I'm really doing an effort to use original architecture.

(09/08: Updated screenshots)

I'm now working on basic architecture and lay-out of the map, details will be added later on.

I'm such a slow mapper.

Lep's tut said this:

First of all, create a few reference objects- such as a large building or two. It is sometimes a good idea to select the buildings and walls that surround your map to use as a reference too, so that anything we build does not "overlap" with what's in the level, and so you can get scales correct. DO NOT use displacement mapped surfaces as these cannot be scaled down.


I don't want them to be huge Of course, I could try and make a very small set of dunes, but I'd prefer another way.

How did you reach the conclusion that the 3D skybox doesn't support displacement surfaces? As that conclusion is wrong I'd probably do a combo of buildings, walls, gates with roads through them leading out into the desert, etc...

So, replaced the ramps by stairs. Looks better now. I also cut the sidewalls a bit, because they also had that "rampy" look.

The parts of the wood not supported by those other wooden pillars is, indeed, breakable.

It looks pretty neat but, <br>is the wood in image 1 beakable?? <br> <br>if so, bon't make it all breakable, becouse it's mess up css gameplay seriously i think, becouse people would be able to just let other fall to death and just get up to a spot and make sure no one can follow, <br> <br>but it looks good smiley <br> <br>only the textures are a bit odd , but that will probarbly improve with the map smiley
