Let me know if it crashes on you, doesn't seem to crash at all using Redux, but I rarely use Redux.

The optimum way to play it is on skill level #3 voxel sprites on and stuff, careful it's a difficult map.. skill 4 is even harder and disables cheats :S

Might make a video of the map unless you beat me to it

I made a few tweaks to it the other night, added rail gun which I forgot I had taken out.

I gave it a run and had no crash problems and indeed it's a tough map on skill 3 no doubt it really matters how damaged you come out of that first area before the elevator. Surely worth a replay to maybe I will do better 2nd time around

[Robman]

If you turn around and walk backwards in the very beginning of the first map, you'll see that you're walking away from the volcano at the very end of the retail game.
Kind a of a "continuation" idea. Why not...
This volcano section is kind of quickly built but has some lighting and the volcano spews stuff out. You're blocked off from entering it, the stop point of the player is about where the screenie is taken.

Here is some small shots what I am doing on this I did end up doing what Methy suggested which was to build/texture the map in mapster then when I need to do the effects I will do in build and of course watch your videos again heheh. This map is going to change a lot for the SW version it already looks kind of pretty.

[Hendricks266]

Alt+F10, I need to figure out what makes my VoidSW builds so glitchy.

[Robman]

YEEEEEESSSSSS !!!!!

[Micky C]

These aren't for the CBP, but I have been working on a few levels which will hopefully come out soon

[Robman]

why are people making maps who are reputable map makers, not willing to put their maps in the new add-on where their map is most certainly to be played MORE.
What a tease.

[Mr. Nukem Roses]

some pretty cool stuff here

[Micky C]

Ahh we'll see who's maps are played more

Say, do any of your videos focus purely on the game effects? I remember having a look at them and they seemed to focus on level design itself, which is already known by Duke mappers.

So, I aid you in the effect making process.. and then you thumb your nose up at me? .. I see how it is Micky C, cold... so very cold

Thanks Robman and my map is for this project but it is completely unfinished could take some time as you can see there's no real detail applied yet its just a layout and is helping me learn the texture numbers and all that good stuff. It will be completely different upon finish you might not recognize it hehe but just wanted to show small thing show you I am trying.
heheheheh

Excellenté.... if you have any questions about effects, ask.

Brandon(boost) says he's got something in the works as well.

[Micky C]

Actually Robman didn't use the videos since I'm not really using what you'd call SW effects. Maybe for a future map.

It's not too far off in terms of the detail in the original maps so you should be fine.

I hoped things would have been going smoother

[Sixty Four]

Micky that forest/tree area looks cool man you should think about putting it here would be cool but it looks cool either way.

[MetHy]

Really nice Micky C. Clean and efficient design, feels very genuine. I hope I get to play a new SW map soon.

I sadly haven't worked more on my map, my job takes a lot of time and the little time off I have I don't feel like doing something constructive... If the 3DRealms mapping contest game true it would be a motivation.

Seeing as how you 2 like to critique the shit out of everyone else and are stingy with your upvotes, I'll give my 2 cents

Outdoor scene - That ripper to the right is likely just a static sprite.
- Shrubs, trees don't grow exactly the same/size/shade .. resize them for variety.
- The inside of the wooden wall to the right looks too bright for the environment.
- Some grass sprites and tree limbs + different ground elevations would look better.
- maybe some crickets chirping and/or swamp ambience... birds maybe.. t'would come alive.
- Looks dark out, maybe some random thunder rumbles with use of timing vators.

Indoor Scene - Looks square, empty.
- Choice of floor foreground texture is poor.
- I do like the candles however.

Both scenes could be made in under an hour.

This means you only care about being known as the "best map maker ever" and care not about just making a map for others to enjoy playing.

[MetHy]

I think it looks good. If I had to nitpick about something I'd say the texture of the back wall in the 2nd pic is a little too overstretched but that's it. Maybe I'd try another ceiling texture.

The transparent foreground looks fine to me.

Is the foreground floor transparent? Can you see/break through it? Or is it just a texture?

Started a new map today:



Incorporated a flying magic carpet into this scene, it comes around the top of the pyramid,
picks you up and flies you up the ramp and into the pyramid... or you can just walk into it.. whatever, hehe.

[Micky C]

Looks interesting Robman.

Transparent sprites.

If it makes you two feel better, they're both optional areas.

Hehe, I was just being a dink. Good to have some sw maps in the works.

Hopefully this pyramid map resembles " Stargate" to some degree when it's done.

[Sixty Four]

I don't know the pics are really awesome but to showcase them on a cbp post (when it's not for it:/) was a bit left field imo, not to try to oppose and get Robman excited as his first thought was they were for it probably. Those are for a hole different project and it's nice to see them I think they are really nice even as optional areas but it's strange activity. I hope best for something to go for SW though doesn't have to be me i don't care seems the game has not had many updates so anything is cool I think. Though I think I got an update on steam for it for some reason the other day. I was really just showing that I have been trying to mess with it. And was wondering if okay if I finish the map is it okay to put on steam workshop ? Or does it have to be specific to this cbp I think if i put on workshop with a link to the cbp could help some people find it.

[Micky C]

I don't know if you've been keeping track but everyone's pretty much been using this thread for everything SW related for a long time now.

[Robman]

Micky and Methy, Eminem if you will just like to tease me with new sw maps. Just make it clear right off the bat that it isn't for the new add-on.

@ Duke64, you were correct ... As for the releasing of maps, I was going to (or "allow" to) release all NEW maps to be available for download a while AFTER the new add-on was finished and released. However you do what you like.

Started a new map today:

Those pillars with fire on top look like something from the game Turok in level 1 and I actually built something very similar to them for my latest Turok map:) Anyway, that area looks promising as I can tell it is only the start of it but it's a base that you could easily build from as it offers inspiration hopefully we get to go inside of that pyramid. Also, okay I probably would put on to the steam workshop but you know was just asking trying to make sure that would be okay since lots of my Duke friends also play and have SW on steam as well but still planned to make regardless.

[Robman]

Sounds good, those pillars once they were built reminded me of something from unreal or turok, they don't look anything like the pillars from stargate the movie that's for sure, lol. Oh well, give them some lighting and some sound fx and they will be done. The first room inside the pyramid is already 90% done The entering into the pyramid is a bit of teleport mindf*ckery but oh well, it works. ( In that screenshot, the pyramid off to the left looking alittle "wonky" has been fixed.) Also hard to tell in this screenshot is the sprite work and round pillars up at the pyramid entrance. There is another pyramid off in the corner behind the player in this screenie to the right side.

The idea of releasing the individual new maps after the cbp release was so players would play the cpb first and like playing new levels. In the add-on text it will be made clear who made what maps, no worries there.

[Robman]

Between these two screenshots, can anyone tell what's kind of neat about it?

Spoiler

Second screenshot is inside looking out, can pass freely in or out and may not even notice that it's a video monitor/ teleport trick.... do people do this trick regularly?
