fof_depot (Fistful of Frags map) - Developers

[b]Download Links:[/b] - [b]No need for download links, the map is official. Get the game here - [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/265630[/url][/b] I decided to make a thread for this in the mapping section so I don't pollute the FoF thread in the Valve games section. Plus it helps to have input from other mappers. When I realized I could make maps for FoF I decided to go at it and try to make a western themed map. I'm still a novice when it comes to hammer (only have at least 300~ hours in it so far; still trying to get past a lot of the basics when it comes to good level design) so keep in mind I'm still learning and will improve this map in the future to the best of my ability. My next project will be designed similar to the maps currently ingame than this one, which is much more open. Intro out of the way, let's move on. Fair warning, the navigation mesh for the bots is pretty bad, so don't be surprised if the bots can't do much properly. edit - It's been 2 weeks since I've started work on this map (I've worked on this map for the past 2 weeks is what I'm saying) and I'd say it's essentially near perfect. I learned a lot through making this map and hope to push forward with maps I create in the future. Welcome to fof_depot. I couldn't think of anything clever to call it. I thought of Whiskey Pass, but so has everyone else. If you wish to call this map Whiskey Pass, that it is its name, okay? Okay.

Wait, what? I thought mapping for FoF wasn't possible yet, but clearly I'm wrong.

That tunnel should be more detailed.. or atleast more rounded

Well, there's a bit of a problem with the train... if you ride the gold crate carriage into the end tunnel, it gets you momentarily stuck in the invisible wall... before popping you out into the non-playable area. You can, of course, catch up with the train and ride it back to the playable area, but it won't let you back in if you try doing the same thing to get back in.

tis good; tis large. strategic chest placement. I loave it.

[QUOTE=Netheous;45079543]That tunnel should be more detailed.. or atleast more rounded[/QUOTE] The tunnel has been rounded in the official version ingame.

[QUOTE=zt14427;45094611]tis good; tis large. strategic chest placement. I loave it.[/QUOTE] I'm glad to hear that. Train chest placement was not so favorable, however and has been moved. Here is what the map may soon look like in a future update.

Very nice map, happy to see it become official. For a novice, it's damned better than I'd expect. It looks like a very fun setting to make a map in, any future plans for FOF maps?

It looks like a very fun setting to make a map in, any future plans for FOF maps?[/QUOTE] I am currently working on another project, yes. A little more standard in terms of mapping, similar to the maps currently in game. It's based on the town Tombstone, Arizona, where the Shootout at O.K. Corral happened.

I can't wait to see future custom maps for this game, and maybe even some that spin the art style in a different direction.

Wow now I feel inferior with my WIP Western map lol

[QUOTE=Exho;45113276]Wow now I feel inferior with my WIP Western map lol[/QUOTE] I think yours is a lot better, but it serves a different purpose than mine.

can you make a tutorial for the fof hammer?

[QUOTE=LordMundy;45510856]can you make a tutorial for the fof hammer?[/QUOTE] Sure, there's a guide here - [url]http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630/discussions/5/540741859456359198/[/url] Follow it step for step and if the hammer.bat doesn't work like it should, just run hammer.exe as admin. It's what I did to get it to work.
