Zouga's map making travails

The scary thing about the pic is that they (Mini-Lini) are not wearing masks!

LOOL

Zouga, will your map feature some 'No zook' signs all over the map with no anti-tank kit available ? Just to keep Mini trying some other kits xx

If I could I would.

Was working on smaller newer version of map today, have perfected the depth issue, got some water in too, was clearly being over-optimistic about having it done soon. There is a lot more to it than it seems at first. Will post some screenies later this week or early next.

ok here are som map screen shots from BC42
I haven't added the textures yet so no ingame shots but I'maworkin'onit

It sure looks pretty. Is it based off a battle, or just something you made up?

[[JiF]zougathefist]

Its just something I dreamed up in the twisted hole that is my mind

turns out you don't need textures to test the map so here it is

[[JiF]zougathefist]

Ok check it out,
I have the textures bone now, they still need some work but I reckon I am 50% done on this map WOOT!!!
I hope to have a Beta ready for testing by next W/E. First 5 ppl to PM me get to be my Guinea Pigs and have make-up put in their eyes and stuff, oh wait thats another story.

[[JiF]zougathefist]

sorry bout the double post but only 3 pics per reply....

Once I get the last of the objects placed I'll send a copy out to the testers and work on their feedback.
Still have the vegetation to sort and some issues with sandbags (See here: http://www.jiff.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2302 )
Once thats done I might try adding Bots....

Are those 3 huts the outside toilets so our friends from the North feel at home?

LOL
they are now.
shall I put you down as a tester?

[[JiF]Lt Gav]

Sorry Zoug
I forgot!
Yes I'd love to have a run round your map. I've got to see if you've built in any sneaky places
A good map always gives you the ability to sneak in the back door somewhere. Oooh Matron.

[[JiF]zougathefist]

Gav,
do you think I would make a map and not leave you or Mini someway of sneaking around, I'm shocked.
What I'm hoping is that you can offer some advice on what the map needs/doesn't need
I'm getting impatient with it now and looking to make another already,
I have loads of Ideas but I better make this one work first I guess.

Have had one success tho, turns out Ladders have a front and a back, position them the wrong way and they are no more than decoration. they also have a top and bottom, if they are upside down you can't climb them....most bizarre

[[JiF]Blind Trooper]

That's is strange. I would've figured you could go up or down a ladder, no matter which way it's pointed...

As for the sandbag issue, that reminds me of Coral Sea when you're on the side of the carrier and try to shoot to the lower deck. Some invisible wall stops you and the other guy kills you. Very annoying. Dunno what it is, though

[[JiF]WinkyDeathKill]

Hey Gav,
I think you should keep the "stiff upper lip, wot!" and wrap this up! Since it would be, as far as I know, the first offical Jif map, we all should join in and test for you I think in our rotation. I'd like to see some new maps and you have one here!

Good show-

Can you put jetpacks in those outhouses?
