Ever since I first started playing the first Half Life online many many many years ago...I've always wanted to create my own map but didn't quite have the hang of it...this frustrated me to point that I gave up on it. Well guess what.........I'm attempting it again and this time I'm making a map for COD4. I've always wondered what it would be like to run through a recreation of some of the aircraft carriers I've deployed on. I've been working on a recreation of my first carrier...USS Saratoga CV60. Although this is not a completely accurate reproduction...it's as close as I could possibly get. After doing a few test runs of my progress....I can honestly say it brings back memories. I feel like I've once again boarded her for another deployment. I still have scripting issues to work out but I've slowly figured some out. I've got the smoke and rotating radar antennas...but I also want to make my aircraft elevators go up and down. I also need to make some custom decals but I am still having difficulties with that. Here is a video I put together showing some of my progress. Let me know what you guys think and let me know of any suggestions. Send me a PM or two. Thanx!

Looks great Smelly; looking forward. Is this your first COD map or are you experienced at this? I've always wanted to make a map for my own use of the house/street I grew up. Just don't have time for a huge learning curve. Awards

My first deployment on this ship was in '92. I haven't done much work on the interior yet...just part of a berthing area. There is so much detail left for me to do. I hope I can get it done before COD4 isn't played anymore.

I've been concentrating on the bulk of the ship first.
