ETmaps - Zombie

by **zombie** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 18:46

Welcome all Wolfenstein: ET players,

At the moment I'm making an ET map. I'll post here my photo's and information about my map. Tomorrow I'll try to post first landscape photo's.
Here you've some information.

Name: Tower Offensive
Where it takes place: The Netherlands, 4 km from my town. At sea. Reason: There are almost/maybe no ET maps in The Netherlands. I'd like to make some maps in The Netherlands.
Objectives: Allies have to attack, they come from the coast with boats. First there is a town, then an area with only grass. Then a lot of trees, planted in a circle. Behind the trees you'll see three huge towers. Which allies have to blow.
Further information about the town: The place is called Egmond aan Zee (Egmond at Sea). This town really exists. It's a tourist town with a lot of hotels, shops and restaurants. The hotels, shops and restaurant you'll see in the town. I'll try to make a little dock with some fishboats.

I hope the map is being a succes if its finished. I mean there can no lag be inside the map. I think it will take 3 or 4 weeks before its finished. Further I hope you like the objective. Check this topic regulary to see how the work is in progress

by **Alkohol** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 1:56

a realy nice idea!!
its sounds got! say me if ur map runnig on a ps server for test or in the campaign doesnt matter!

by **zombie** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 12:43

To build the landscape you need to have easygen V142. Difficult to find at internet because a lot of programs have this name (easygen). Spawnpoints, objectives, water, skies, command post etc. you can find/build with GTK radient 1.4. This is a mapper tool for games with Quake 3 game engine. GTK radient is free and you can easy find it. There are many tutorials to understand how to work with this program. But it's difficult

.

If you want to have one of these programs which are free to download PM me please.

making a map -> great idea.
I have lot's of experience working with 3D models (max, autocad, lightwave).
I could help witch your work Zombie, if you like. Maybe with some textures, or simple objects?
Or as beta tester? Of course if u like. Send me a message.

If you want you may texture the landscape in GTK radient, if you know how that work :wink:

In 3ds max (I've program too) you could make some damaged houses. I can make them as well in GTK radient, but need to practies and get used with that program. So if you want you can help me

Zombie

EDIT: I've added some models in GTK radient

The 3 towers and a MG nest. The only problem I've that the program doesnt see the textures. But I can fix that

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/269/render5gm5.jpg Tower 1
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/7647/render6nn7.jpg The three towers

As you can see the towers are from MLB maps, which you can dowload for free. In this map I shouldnt mak much because I've to get used with this program. My second map idea should be launched soon.[/img][/list]

Zombie,
i will make few houses, and textures for them. Probably tomorow
i schod have it done. Need to know some details about:
-siutable extensions for U: (*.dxf, *.max, *.3ds, others ...)
-resolutions for maps (800 x 600 pix, or bigger),
-the high of buildings -coz i don't know the concept - anu U are the headmaser of this project.
that's all for now
bye

Formats:

-You can send me the models in .3ds, max or .dff. Need to find script on internet to convert them to .map.

Buildings:

-2 layers. (some windows and the rest I'll add

)

Resolutions:

-Dont know exactly what you mean, can you explain it a little bit better? If you mean the texture format 512x512 please.

Thx bigrat

p.s. maybe you can learn me some things in 3ds ? :oops:

EDIT:

Stopped this map, it's too difficult to create this kind of map. Now I'm going to build a new map. More information soon. (this time it isn't a map with landscape, just houses and streets). Easier to make for a GTk radient noobie ^^

by **Maserman** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 18:17

I dont know maybe its impossible, but maybe try to make all buildings interactive (i mean widnows, soldiers can get in all buildings etc) like in real war:D And about when ru going to finish map?

by **zombie** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 20:03

I think I'll finish my map in 3/4 weeks. School first

Wolfenstein: second

And I dont know if I'm going to make all building interactive, maybe that you can walk straight to it but.... I'll see what I do.
