Map Ideas for Red Thunder :D

[sheepy]

how about a "griffon hotel" map in honor of the dmw lans, i think that this could b quite cool with a bit of artistic licence

[Dr Sadako]

Some photos (i cna provide them in 1600x1200 if needed).

The map again just to make it easier:


Waiting hall looking towards the shop in the middle (left in map above).


End of waiting hall with exit


To the tracks



Standing at WC looking towards restaurant


Looking towards tickets


Tracks when exiting through glass doors (see above)


Looking down one track (just left of picture above)


Standing at the end of a track looking down towards waiting hall.


Looking out from train station.


Hope you find some inspiration in these images. Still you need to decide if it is going to be a de/cs/as map.

Cheers,

omg, lots of ppl must have thought that u were some mad cap freekish spinnoff of a trainspotter!

[Red_Thunder]

Thanks Sad must of looked a right spotter taking some of them

I think it was JonnyApple that said de_ maps work better in PCS , which i felt was correct , maybe a vote on it , i dont mind . But i would like to start it today !

Cheers

p.s we also need a name for the map

[Dr Sadako]

de map it is

Idea No 1
Bomb spots on two trains/tracks

Ts start outside by the tickets CTs outside from track side


Idea No 2
Bomb spots in Restaurants and shop next to tickets.


Want to add that the WC is actually one set of stair down on the left and right of the stairs seen in the image below.


Maybe sewers to the toilets for another approach?

Btw ... rearrange my map sketch suggestion above so it works. It is just for inspiration not written in stone ...

Cheers,

[Dr Sadako]

I think it should be set in the evening so we get the dark areas etc.

[Red_Thunder]

/me = love darker maps , so much more intresting and the lightning can be superb !!!
little streams of light on the floor tiles. And when they disapear theres somone there lol

If u are feeling REALLY fruity you could try putting in a generator/switch that cuts the power.....but i dont know how difficult that is so ill shut up and go back into my corner :lol:

There might even be a point to buying night vision  :?:  :?:  :?:

I was always going to do a rat map call "de_human_innards".

Players run around inside a human body trying to blow up the persons vital organs. It would be pitch black except near the skin, so everyone would be using night vision.  But then it occurred to me that it was a crap idea so I didn't bother about it.

de_swedish_station sounds cool though Sadako and gets my vote :-)

[Red_Thunder]

i think daker maps are fun because they bring a whole new element to the game which is under used the night vision and the camping /hiding where nobody can see you , this was lost as the amount of n00bs decreased [ everyone knows all maps inside out ]

i made a map called cs_nightin_cuchi

this was almost totally black in most areas of the map , excpet for a few lights here and there , nearly everyone loved it , i was shocked tbh


cheers

well ive now got archways, a large foyer area, ticket office and a shop that will probably be WHsmiths or something of the sorts. Going to put in a large arched ceiling like the photos wich maybe a dome center piece. Also going to put in a balcony running accross one side of the waiting area. Toilets will probably smell and cause instant death like the ones at charring cross :-P

[Red_Thunder]

who b u then ?

[Red_Thunder]

ok i have started the map , its one of the hardest and most tricky tasks mapping wise ive had for a while.
Finding the proportion etc is very hard looking at pictures and the overview and then the map editor going to take a while im sure.
Need to show slowhand the basic outline of the map in the editor then ill post a pic here  
prob have it the outline finsished by 2mo [ the outline  includes : walls ,floor , and a basic ceiling.
