Attached are a few screenshots of a map I am in the progress of making. Just a little sneak preview

This one may take me a while...

It looks like an old deserted factory... except for the cool rings in the center. Will they do anything or are they just eye candy...

i think that it should send you up (the rings) and i LOVE that its great

*thinks that reminds him of Star Wars Episode I when Darth Maul fights

That came to mind a moment. Looks cool. What's the map going to be about?

The rings cycle to the top of the chamber - I haven't decided what they'll do yet

The map will be an interior map, with lots of metal and such. The screenshot is the rough draft of only one of several chambers that will be interconnected with multiple hallways at different levels.

Right now, I am in the process of adding recessed & angled lights to the chamber with semi-transparent light 'beams' shining towards the floor.

As I said previously, this one will take me a while - I'm fairly busy with family/work and only have small packets of time to work on it.

Wow!

That reminds me of some other game, but I can't remember which.
Looks good!

Reminds me of StarTrek Elite Force...

And like in all your maps I'll just get 1-7 FPS again.

Latest updates - columns, vents, galaxies and a nebula. This chamber is complete - starting to work on the 2nd one.

MAp is awesome LouMan!!!!! i think it will be your best mad ever done!!!

^nightmare^ · Post by **^nightmare^** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 2:28 am

..... wow.....
How did you do the window lights?

LouMan · Post by **LouMan** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 3:09 am

The light beams are made from a simple gradient texture (semitransparent white <-> total transparency), applied to a 4-sided trapezoidal mesh, extending from the white rectangular mesh to the horizontal floor mesh.

Very Nice, I take it your planning on it being a Free-for-all map just by the way it looks now?

Winny · Post by **Winny** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:00 pm

yet another amazing map by LouMan

.....

I like the light coming from the windows, that is really cool.

hope to see it sometime in the near future

Well, it's a LouMan map.

We all know what will be said when LouMan makes a map.

No need to say it right now, then.

(No, I'm not saying that offensively. In fact, IO'm saying that positively!

GREAT MAP!!!)

Discovery · Post by **Discovery** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 1:30 am

lol!!!!I've seen some they are very nice.

Grumbler · Post by **Grumbler** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:47 pm

the problem i see here is that the tanks are going to look silly driving around this detailed map.

The Knights Who Say Ni · Fri Jan 13, 2006 7:34 pm

Its Gunna be really cool... great work

LouMan · Post by **LouMan** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 10:56 pm

I posted a few updated screenshots in one of my previous posts. The 1st chamber is complete, only 3 more to go, and connecting hallways.

Yes, it is a bit absurd to have tanks battling on this kind of map, but what the heck
