Title: zs_temporary name
Post by: Cable on March 18, 2012, 11:53:33 AM
SUGGESTION TIME!

Internet was down for a week so I haven't gotten any progress on the map. Since I took a long break, I feel like adding more to it.

I NEED IDEAS!

Please keep your suggestions practical. No underground secrets or any shit. NO FUCKING SECRETS PLEASE.



Decided to start another project. It's been a while.
Going to add more houses, one at a time, until there are 5 or so.

Sorry for the huge pictures.

Sooner is better than later. I was hoping this map would be quick-to-make.

Also, New pictures.

I forgot to mention, I've been recording my hammer ever since I started. It should make a sweet time lapse when I'm all done.

If i did that with one of my maps, fraps would probably take up a few terabytes with the raw video files alone xD

Anywayz, looks cool.  I'd love if there were an underground system leading out from below the house as like an escape route that leads to....an underground cading room?

That wouldn't be very practical for an old abandoned farm, would it?

This looks really good so far. Where are the zombies going to spawn though?

You could call it zs_Kansas. Of course, it would make more sense if you had that tornado shelter that Levenchie suggested. Just a thought. :idk:

I can't make any basement/underground parts because the ground is all one displacement. I wasn't thinking about it when I first made it.
Title: Re: zs_temporary name

Double post.

Updated screenshots.
Title: Re: zs_temporary name
Post by: Mehis on March 21, 2012, 05:55:46 AM
You shouldn't do one big displacement. It makes the ground look very weird and your displacement paint look awful. I would say if you made all those buildings with correct measures (64, 128, 256, 512...) you should use 256x256/512x512, power of three displacements to create basements.

Also create some kind of support structure right in the middle of the destroyed wall. It doesn't only stop the house from collapsing it also makes it more harder for zombies to rush in. That just looks too OP for an entrance anyway.

The hole is the only entrance. The front door is locked. I'll do something about the support, but the displacement is staying.

wait cabble, so the ground is one big cube, why don't make a cube of the side you want your basement and carve the big cube?


also, a wine storehouse would be amazing... but that idea would go better with TTT

What if you added some crops? I'd make it more like a farm and zombies cold probably spawn in the field.

Also, name it zs_Harvest

Good luck with the map!

look the house from the third update, i think that would be a nice texture for the church.

or you could make it with wood like in the image.
