Map Ideas for Red Thunder :D

unfortunately im currently cooking for 4 people so im not available at the mo. i'll add you to my msn though, im "blue" at the mo i think.

I was thinking the easiest thing to do would be create, or nick from other maps, some standard sized objects. i.e. park bench, coke machine, shop doors. etc etc, i'll look into creating some standard objects you can use as a guide to proportions. I currently use the player start object as a guide. Stick it where your having trouble with proportions.

After seeing this picture it got me interested in the mapping thing again so i went looking at sites and the best tutorial site is the one which Flibber posted, that is an excellent site.
It goes from the basics and all the way through to making ladders and lifts.
Nice find Flibber

Now all i need to do is find a lot of free hours to try them out. :?

My four ajoining rooms.
Following the turorial it took me about 20 mins.
This doesnt look a lot but hey im happy with it

Now onto the arena tutorial

This looks hard :?

Way to go Smite

I just had a run around your map - very UT :lol: An excellent job, but could you possibly leave the AWM closer to my spawn point :wink:

No way first one to it gets it

Im not messing anymore with this one i just used it to test all the tutorials and see how it turned out.
THX to slowhand i was having problems with leaks and he pointed out to just place a box around the whole arena and hollow it therefore removing any reason for leaks. Cheers mate.
Now the what shall i try next

Im thinking an Ice ring with nice and slippy ice. :wink:

Had to make some changes to the map (not enough spawn points and a few glitches)
Map
and the waypoint for podbot made by jas
waypoint
The waypoint has a problem of the bots cant get out of the water.
