Zombie Map

[scout1337]

well does any1 have any ideas for a zombie map? (the gametype zombies)

like how big it should be? what shape? how many tunnels? and where? hill? ramps? ETC ETC

any1 got any ideas? like maybe draw it out?

[Ki11a_FTW]

CSS Could give you an idea, but Zombies in Halo 1 or 2, gets annoying when you have people join and do whatever they want, i was working on a script to force you to go blue when killed, then got side tracked :-3

[scout1337]

well i dont think ill make a script to force u to go blue i was just gona model a map that would fit great for zombies like Snow grove does (tunnels bases ETC)

E: whats CSS?

[Malloy]

Common Sense Sucka ?

a good zombie map would be like in Halflife two zombie where you have to push obstacles behind doors and stuff like that... but making physics for objects (making them vehicles) causes major lag... and hinge physics for doors... thats out the question.

[scout1337]

i dont have those games :|

and idk what to model

[legionaire45]

CSS = Counter Strike Source.

Look at the elements of Snow Grove that make it a popular infection map:

shotgun rooms, open areas, narrow areas, multiple levels, strongholds, escape routes, hiding spots, and high-up camping spots

put them together in an interesting way, keeping in mind the type of gameplay people enjoy in infection. Sometimes people get bored of waiting for the zombies, and want to venture out: in snow grove, people cross the middle in groups just to look for zombies. These little activities make it fun. It also needs to be fun for the zombies, people hate dying all the time. Think of ways to make it easier for the alpha zombie, so that the playing field is level no matter how many people are on either team. Give it a good backstory and atmosphere and you're good to go!

[Bastinka]

Serious cat is right.

Definetly agreeing with the narrow areas and maybe add barricadable areas?.. but this is Halo CE so forget about that.

If you can make some crates that are just vehicles without seats, you can melee them into the doorways. It's not like vehicles are used in zombies anyway.

but see if i were to make something ppl can up to up like in snow grove BR nadeing i dont have any weapon tag that can do that and CMT nvr relased their BR and if i do get something like that how high will i do to make it?

E: also what unitsXunits should it be?

Jesus Christ! Please use grammar!

[Heathen]

But see, if I were to make something people can (I dont know what you were saying) like in Snow Grove BR nading. I dont have any weapon tags that can do that and CMT never released their BR. If I do get something like that, how high do I make it?

And punctuation D:

[scout1337]

-.-

[Lateksi]

It's all good they reminded you about that. But this isn't school.

[scout1337]

well im not a pro like every1 else at modeling so does any1 have any simple but cool/awsome ideas?

[scout1337]

or someone can at least tell me how many units it should be everyone just keeps ignoring this one topic

[Inferno]

Units of What!?! We can't tell you how many unit of something if we don't know what your trying to get units of!

And the reason I said your grammar sucked is because i read your post 3 times over and i didn't even get the slightest glimmer of comprehension from it!

And also don't bump/double post unless the topic is unanswered for at least 3 or 4 days.

[scout1337]

ok and units by the size of map i said that in the very first post but no1 ever reads everything

by units i mean the map size EX: 9000x8000 ETC how big should i make the map?

[Inferno]

Why would you need someone to tell you a preset size for your map? Visualize what you want in your mind. Draw it out in paint or something and then begin to model. Having a preset size is chaining your design down which you should never do.

[Con]

We're not here to design your map for you. If you can't take the time to do that yourself, then you shouldn't be making maps. Do what wanksta says, draw it in paint. Making maps isn't about just modeling them and such. Also, clean up your posting--this isn't a chat room.

[jngrow]

You don't have to be able to model to think of ideas.

[scout1337]

thats the problem im not very good at that :(

[p0lar_bear]

Welcome to my boat. :lol:

Seriously, think of a layout using Conscars's guidelines, and draw it in paint, or on paper. When you've got something, start modelling. Don't worry about textures, theming (human/covenant/forerunner), or aesthetics in general yet. Get a feel for the map creation process and then start to worry about the finer details.

[scout1337]

i know about the textures i nvr care about them but whats a forunner base?

[IGM Dhark]

well, IG is working on an application to greatly assist zombie servers like for example; zombies will have auto depleated weapons and grenades plus hopefully we'll be enforcing the teams appropiately among other useful options, hopefully this can help you...?

A base in the Forerunner style of architecture?
