Like an idiot (yeah), I decided it would be cool to make a map. Two days, a case of beer and a bottle of scotch later, I finally have one that compiles. :)

I still have a lot of work to do, and a lot of stuff to learn. Thankfully, the map editing tool is Radiant, which I used back in the day when I made Quake 2 maps.

 

Why did I think this was a good idea, anyway?

Been trying to figure out the whole scripting thing. A little confusing with all the files. Did you do much scripting on your maps Boomer?

I don't understand your post, Ruthless. Was that some kind of homosexual reference?

Just google cod4 mapping tutorials and you will find some. There are some good YouTube videos too.

 

My mountain is done:

Now I am working on a tunnel system:

I am having major hassles making a junction area for the tunnels due to the curve patches.

most of my attempts were all trying to join them by some kind of boxed type piece between them..... well haha that crap didn't work! everything I did allowed light in, to make a long story short, just join your sections at a spot where 1 of the sections is flat, pull back a piece of your wall and slide the other section up to it, remember to highlight the piece or pieces you want your section to join to first then highlight the other 1 and weld them....at the top where the curve is, draw a brush approx 2 to 3 grid and use your E key and angle the side upward like at a 45 degree angle and slide it down on top of your main piece, widen and lengthen it as you need to block out light, compile and test it until you get what you want.

 

I did it this way and it worked, I run or walk through it with no problem, its just not as pretty as I would have liked it to be, BUT, it works!

 

Cheers :)

and yes I have been doing some scripting, I find it to be most FUCKING AGGRAVATING! Peoples tuts ALWAYS leave shit out and it leaves you hanging out to dry! Either they assume you already know everything or they assume you will know where they fuck up at and that you can fix it anyway.....HMMMMM BS! They love to only give pieces of information and not the WHOLE story, BASTARDSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! lol

I do get help from time to time from our MASTER MAP MAKER! hahahaha

Map 3 will be the last big map I make I think, hmmmmm not sure but the bigger the map, the more crap it takes to make it happen!

And scripting hmmmmm, I now know why there are few maps that have it!
