MW4 Jungle arena map remake
« on: June 05, 2010, 12:19:46 PM »
Hi everyone... I've been working on a remake of the Solaris map Jungle from MW4...
Currently it's an SA map, but I plan tp turn it into an FFA as soon as that gamemode is released.
I've decided to give you guys some first impression on what it looks like... ;)

If at first you don't succeed try again, and if you don't try again, you'll be hit in the face with a shovel!

Nice idea!
Only texture work.... needs more work ;)
And trees... clearcut destroyable trees ^_^ please
And the pipe at last screen... water looks very weird (at least in the place it hits the ground)

Already had the chance to see the waterfall ingame. Best looking waterfall I've seen so far! On the screenies it looks weird, ingame totally awesome!

I'd love to have a factory-type map made using that very same game mode

You might want to consider for your map layout that in FFA players should not spawn in the same hangar...
There comes a point where the talking must stop, and people have to do actual work.

I think the map you have in mind is Tropical, in the MW4 campaign it's used as junglearena for mediums and assaults, the map I'm making is the map used for lights and heavies, and that one doesn't have more water... ;)

Well you are the ones developing new gamemodes... ;D

what I meant by turning it into an FFA was that I expected you to find a solution to this dilema and modify my map so it could be used as an FFA...

hey ppl, I need your oppinion...

changed textures...

note: those big stains on the textures are some kind of side effect from generating the surface texture...

I've started to retexture the whole map useing the techniques described here...
that's what it looks like after shading...


even though the map is not that big, it's a shitload of work if i do this on all surfaces except the rocks, since they don't really need...
Just not sure if it's really worth the effort...

better...use the "hardness" setting a little, drop it to .5 instead of 1 and take one of the grass textures and smooth the edges of the 2 different grass colors...changing the hardness setting is a way of "mixing the paint"

Why not put in the work to make it look great?  People will play it longer and it could serve resume purposes in the future.
