It would be easier to import your model, then adjust your sector heights and blocking sprites to match.

I wouldn't recommend a lot of rolling hills, but you could really pep up your typical outdoor area with some real looking rocks and some sand that actually has a bit of a curve to it.

Can you imagine how a base level would look with ammo lockers, tech-pillars and 'real' vehicles and crates.

EDIT: I hit the wrong key when I went to take the shot and changed the music track instead, heh (Thats why the song title is up the top)

Placing misc architecture stuff in maps is good, the only pain in the ass is fake-collision work. But for the environment stuff in places where the player can't reach they serve pretty well. Also we may use textures that already are in the HRP for such models, like such stuff for instance:

^ That´s exactly what i would love to do if i´d had the time, building 3d things using duke´s art. The only difference is that i would choose 8bits art.

The only example i have (of which i´ve posted screenshots in the past):

Ok I'm finally releasing what I've done so far of my first map ever. It uses dukeplus 2.07 and polymer lights (the lights need work), though ironically polymer seems a bit buggy for my map in terms of cutscene cameras and paralaxing in some places, though nothing that effects gameplay. Personally I play it listening to 233c.

Several features are designed for dukematch such as secret hiding places/passages/weapon staches. Some of these are hidden by sprites which are deliberately stretched weirdly to stand out. There's also a button that does nothing to progress the player through the game, but I've got plans for it later on...

This is nowhere near finished. It's quite small (maybe 5 minutes of gameplay?) and there are minor issues with it to do with textures and weapon/monster placement that I'll be working on, as well as adding more features/details to the second half of the map. I won't be able to work on it for a really long time but I'd like to know what people think, and yes I'm aware that some things are out of place like columns in a park and a random water area next to an office, you'll just have to suspend your disbelief. I'm open to criticism but remember it's my first map so don't be too harsh

Here's a really old video for anyone with 3.5 minutes to spare: http://s734.photobucket.com/albums/ww345/c...ilestonebig.flv Apart from the polymer lights, the first 70% of the level is identical, but I've worked on the rest of it since then. There are also photos floating around this thread.

I'm still slowly but surely continuing the work on my Ancient Rome map. I have attached a zip file of a bunch of screen shots. I'm close to finishing the overall areas of the map and now have to concentrate on adding a plot, enemies, and some details in the rooms. At the rate I'm going I should have it finished shortly before the comet wipes us out in 2012

The quality of the pics is less than perfect because I had to compress them more than usual to fit in the amount of space I have left on the forum here.

There is a thing called ImageShack.

+1 Btw, I see little sense in posting !82! screenshots of the same map spoiling just everything... even if there's some great stuff, ppl should be surprised anyway.

I didn't download the .zip, but are you telling me there is 82 screenshots?!?
He may as well of just released the map by the sounds of it.

I guess I'm just too lazy to sign up for a hosting site and too cheap to go out and buy the full version of Fraps to make a video teaser. So lots of pics instead. And because of how long the process is taking, most will probably have forgotten the pics by the time the map is finally released. It will all be new again

You don't need to be signed up for ImageShack

In any case the shots look pretty cool but you seem to be using sprites as buildings (one sprite = one huge greek temple for example).. I doubt it'll look that good.

Thanks for the Imageshack thing. Right now those sprite backrounds are blocked from getting any closer than the screen shot shows. My original intent was to have those areas be the transition scene to another level. They would fade to black as you approached and you would be transitioned to another level. But that was until I found out how hard mapping is for me and it has taken me way too long to get this far. I doubt I'll ever make the new levels so those areas will have to stay as backround scenery for now.

Gonna be breaking ground on converting Phobos Outpost to eDuke32 sometime today or tomorrow. It's been completely remastered now for Doom, and now it's time to bring that to Duke in the form of Lunar Outpost. Here goes.

EDIT: Here's the Doom version of the map as it stands, just so you know what I'm looking to convert to Duke:

The snapshots are at the 3DR forums, in case you were browsing. This map was inspired by two things: Gotcha Map 20 from Doom II, and Q3A's Q3DM2 map, yet keeping to the high-tech theme that Knee-Deep in the Dead had.

Sorry to ask but is that a model or basic mapster sector?

A model.

Not strictly working on this, more like toying with the idea. I'm still working on Duke 2D (but I'm not posting anything on that for a while) but took into account people saying it wasn't very original. Fed up with nintendo's lame Super Mario Bros Wii, I thought - "I can do better than that... Wait, what if mario had a gun like that old model file I have and he went nuts firing misiles into Kuribos and Koopa?"

If I ever work on this properly, I'd make darker looking graphics (Post apocalyptic mushroom kingdom?) and have metal versions of classic Mario music, hopefully a better model file as well. Color change switches him to Luigi or Wario at the moment - which was kind of an accident

Do you have any idea what you just said? If you handle that kind of idea correctly, you could have something more stupendously twisted and awesome than Bioshock's Rapture.
