    My first map

    This is my first map for any game. It is an infantry only map, there are NO vehicles. It also has NO commander assets. There is an uncapable flag for each side (MEC and US). Two other flags have two spawns. That leaves four flags with no spawns. The whole map is about 300 meters by 200 meters. It is playable, nothing is floating that I can find. I just need some help on the finishing touches (burnout). I dont know why the ground is checkerboard, it was fine. Check the screenshots and let me know what you think.

    This is the west end (MEC). One of the four spawn is on the smoke stack. There is a ramp to get on the temple, which has two spawns. The smoke stack has no spawns.


    North side, upper flag has no spawns. Lower flag by construction builds has 2 spawns. There is a flag opposite the upper flag on the south wall.


    East end (US), one of the four spawns is on the cement factory roof. The flag at the factory has no spawns.


    Just another view from the factory roof.

        The ground was fine until i tried to add some undergrowth. All of the undergrowth would fade out at about 50 meters. So i removed it and the ground went all crappy. I may try to repaint it. If anyone knows how to make the undergrowth visable from the whole map please let me know.

          You have to change the view distance on the undergrowth in the tweak menu.
          Setting it too high may cause performance issues. Mess around with it and check your FPS to see what you can get away with. And the checkerboard problem is because you didn't use low detail textures.

            Ok, the old screens are gone, these are the new ones. I am finished now. The map loads fine and I have run around to find any floating objects. The only problems I have left is:

            1. when two pieces of wall overlap each other it tends to flicker. I eliminated most of it by shifting the pieces about 5mm up or down.

            2. I can not get the corner pices or stair pieces to show in the mini map. I made the view distance 1000 (max) and they still dont show up.

            3. no loading screen pic or description.









            There should be a section in the faq about what to de when you are done with the map (ZIP?, installer, host). I would be nice to get people to test the map out.

              You can package maps by going to mod manager at the top and selecting package mod. When you finished that you can create a new folder on your desktop and then go into your level folder via my computer and copy paste. the groundhemi file, server.zip, client.zip, and info folder into that folder.

              only just seen it me self should of looked lol hope it helps lol
