Im new at this so not sure about playability of the map I have a few Set designs from the actual show gonna try to make it as close to the ship layout as i can.
I have put the photos on photobucket instead of bogging up this page. not sure if you need an account to see it or not let me know

If you take a look at the SGU set Design picture you will see the main set, I am thinking that I will make this a hostage map after the episodes where the Aleutian Alliance had invaded the ship and taken hostages. My main dilemma is the placing of the hostages, terrorist spawn and counter terrorist spawn points.
Now I was thinking of making the counter-terrorist spawn point on a planet/separate room and making them use the Stargate to teleport them onto the ship. If i do this it makes the design a bit harder as it will take CT's longer to get aboard, to compensate for this I might make the Bridegroom and the Shuttle where the hostages are. Any ideas would be very helpful.

P.S. dont have the bridge set design yet still looking for it but got plenty of photos of it and the other rooms, might add to photobucket later.

Thanks Like I said before I have a hard time finishing things because if i don't like it i will normally scrap it. I like working from the bottom up and research everything I want before I start so hopefully i should end up with a great map I criticize my work more than anyone else can i think.

I am having trouble making the corners for the balcony, and Beams using the block tool and the snippet tool. I can snip it and try to mold it into what i want but its difficult to get the shape that i want any suggestion on how to shape a block better.

Are you talking about the corner there in that last screenshot? It's a concave shape, so it will take at least two brushes to shape it properly.

By "Snippet" tool, I'm guessing you're referring to the clip tool? To make an inverted chamfer like the one above in that balcony space, would mean simply adding a third brush that makes the angle part. Imagine two rectangles (the long parts of the balcony) intersecting at a bevel make a 90* corner. Then add a triangle (the fake chamfer) piece to it and you will have what you're looking for.

Check out this tutorial and look no further than the second image to see what I mean. Rounded Corner Tutorial

Think of it like wood working almost.

I really dunno if its harmful or not but you shouldn't show pics with your user name in it.

It might just be a Snarkpit taboo, but still. Why take chances.
