New zombie map concept.

[AntiSaint]

I need someone to help me make this map, I'm only very basic in mapping.. Please take a look at this concept I drew!

EDIT: (Made the layout easier to read!) And here's a layout.

Please consider helping me out! I will highly appreciate it! :)

Hopefully someone can help me make this very nice map I'm planning...

Secondly Surely, you need to read the Subforums more often.

God dammit, Surely.

Top left window, click where it says 'camera' and select a more-preferred render, feel free to play with them. Also, way top left, click the small grid button next to the similar one that says 3D to turn the 2D grid on. Neither of these are required, but both are generally preferred.

Looks like you didn't chose the right parameters when you were trying to compile. Make sure you haven't deleted anything out of the command lines.

[QUOTE=Firegod522;33767415]Looks like you didn't chose the right parameters when you were trying to compile. Make sure you haven't deleted anything out of the command lines.[/QUOTE]

Would anyone mind compiling the file for me on team-viewer? Or explaining the parameters, etc.

[Firegod522]

Just set it on default compile and compile.

It was on default.

Looks like you have saved the map in a different engine to the one you are trying ot compile in.

Pick one game and engine to make the map in and stay there.

Skybox looks nice. I'm thinking about combining some l4d maps by the safehouses, would there be a way to do this?

It pulls off the illusion of depth very nicely.

[wauterboi]

That looks [b]AWESOME[/b]. I suck so bad at skyboxes. I AM ENVIOUS.

[AntiSaint]

Please note, I didn't make this sky-box from scratch, I used things from l4d.

[Sirdownloadsalot]

So it's copied from a L4D map?

[AntiSaint]

[QUOTE=sirdownloadsalot;33809423]So it's copied from a L4D map?[/QUOTE]

Not completely, I just used objects from a l4d map to create it.

[ThePinkPanzer]

Mother of god, how did you... I thought you said you were freaking basic.

[BigOwl]

Not laughing anymore, huh. :v:

[TCB]

That skybox is fucking amazing.

[BlueGhostHD]

Very nice, I would love to see more pictures! And I do own a 36 slot ZombieRP server, maybe I could give this map a shot once completed?
