Attempt of making a realistic overpass. It ended up looking a lot like Roch 6.

So far this is just a plain structure, I shall add some curves and stuff in the future.

Lets take Russia for example.

I'm 100% sure - it's not a Russian roads Our roads don't have yellow colors and no russian cars on this photo

Also keep in mind the country that the map is taking place in and paint the road marking accordingly.

Try to make a REAL russian road in eduke. That will be challenging.

And I thought L.A. had bad potholes...

Nothing an old Russian tank couldn't handle.


Oh wait... oh well, crank out the Vodka.

If you're going that route, I like this one: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/0782118690

Do those books actually tell us something we don't already know?

You better be releasing that stuff in a map some time Fox. I wouldn't mind checking out that overpass in mapster.

[Fox]

It seems it is avaiable here as text-only: http://dukertcm.com/...e3d-faqs-build/

[Micky C]

Had a quick look, so it was basically just all the technical information that can be found elsewhere. I was kinda interested in reading something along the lines of this from the description:

It shows users what makes a good level design, from structure to the placement of enemies

But I couldn't find any of that anywhere, just technical things. Probably would have been crappy, outdated advice anyway.

Some of the "tips" by levellord are pretty redundant.

Keep your maps simple

Ha. Yeah sure, ok. There were a few others mostly related to keeping the framerate down.

[Mblackwell]

That book is how I learned to use BUILD, and how I first got interested in CON coding.

[zykov eddy]

Want to see a book which got me interested in Duke mapping in 2007? I discovered it in a computer class at school. I took the book without asking the teacher and never returned it

[Mark]

I've been mapping for a few years and I'm still referring to old FAQ's to use certain effects.

Years? I don't remember any of your releases.

Wow, how did you do that? TROR?

[Mark]

Centaurious:

I released a couple of unfinished things. But the 5 other projects I'm involved with haven't been released yet. But I have posted a bunch of screenshots in various threads. I hope at least one project is finished before I'm too old to move a mouse.

[blackhatred]

That explains a lot? 5 Projects? Lol that's a lot. What are they? Damn got downvoted again for no reason

[Mark]

Project Blue Skies , Decay , WGR2 sequel , Graveyard , and an un-named 5th one.

The 2 unfinished ones I released are Ancient Rome and a dark, polymerized map based on a Doom2 moonbase map. I think it was called Doom2remake. Real clever name.

[blackhatred]

Wow some of them are pretty old! Thought they were dead! Never heard of Graveyard (and the unnamed one )

[Mark]

They live. Slowly but surely they are still being worked on. Decay hasn't decayed yet

Here are a couple of pics from the graveyard. They are shrunk and compressed for file size but still OK.

Mark:

For the heck of it I'm going to say that you can post Decay shots if you'd like to as well. It's an old enough project and doesn't really have any secrets. If you have any questions before you post one you know where to ask .

Heh, HL2 poison headcrab zombie

[Mark]

Yes it is. I was running low on original zombies after putting them into the Decay project. The other creatures in the Graveyard are not zombies so I'm not 100 percent sure this one will be in the final version. But after creating some normal and spec maps for the skins it looks so cool and scary in the game I might keep it. Who knows.

As far as I know, this could only be done with TROR, since sprites can't be sloped.

Am I wrong?
Please correct me if I do so, cause I need to learn more for mapping.

That looks more abused than a porno magazine.

That book is very nice, this is an antique to preserve absolutely !

@Fox: I hope that map will come out one day, cause this is promising...

[blackhatred]

Nice books, I wish I owned them, lol but I would have problems in understanding russian

[The Commander]

I don't even think you understand English let alone Russian.

What's your problem? You clearly have something against me.

[Bloodshot]

Since I updated to the latest eduke on the main site, recording demos seems to mess up certain decals/sprites like bullet impacts and such in DukePlus so I removed my demos, and I noticed the background more, so I decided to make a new menu background in photoshop using some filters



And here it is ingame
