Work in progress

I still can't find it

 

[JJBtch]

if you cannot see it in the list just type connect 71.12.199.78:27015 in your console. when it is password protected the password is poop.

Sorry for all the posts at this one time but I just thought of something. A few other ppl should join in on this mapping thing. If we could get a nice ego mappack for the new server it would be awesome.

I tried to get on your server but there was a map mismatch that you download.

I tried to get on your server but there was a map mismatch that you download.

This happens because the map is always being updated (it's a work in progress). Go into your insurgency/insurgency/maps folder and remove the old version of the file (e.g. missilesilobeta or whatever) and then connect again to re-download. I have a shortcut to that folder because I'm always checking it out new maps that people are working on.

i actually used to make maps for a game with a Quake 3 Engine.

I was thinking "well, its xmas break, why not! i have nothing better to do"

For sure. i just need to get back into the mapping groove. its been so long!

played it today, its a pretty big map with a couple of the obj points too close to each other and are you still going to make a basement level?

Nevertheless its a nice map, keep up the good work.

Looks like an epic map, and the iraqi push is a new change of pace. Although I would move one or more of the cap spots underground. All in all, looks like a fun map. Cant wait to try it out with more than 4 people.

Hey JJ, I just checked out your map and I loved it. I didn't find too much of anything wrong so far. Just some floating objects, ex: The chair in Insurgents spawn, one or two of the barricades in the grass near the gas station. But all in all I liked it a lot. Can't wait to play the final product, I'll be on and off the map checking for new updates, so keep up the good work!

Yes I am still making a basement level. I'm working on that now. Also In the city level the obj are ment to be kinda close i might delete 1 of them, but it was basically ment for a close quarters battle up top and spread out on the bottom. When its finished their will probably be like 7 or 8 objs. And thanks to everyone for the feed back and letting me know about errors and stuff. Also I've said it before, but it would be awesome if ego had its own map pack. So I'm encouraging who over feels the urge to do something creative, then this is a good way of doing it. Also it is simplier than it looks.

Hey,i can't seems to find the server,where is it?

 

[Shisnopi]

If you have filters on turn off password and has players. Then you should be able to find it.

also JJ, I tried my hand in mapping... not my thing but I like the idea of an eGO Map Pack

i say, and i say this to every map maker, SHARKS WITH LAZER BEAMS ON HEADS

 

[JJBtch]

Update - Finished the lay out for the underground area. It is accessible now and only the floor layout really excist. But it will give a good idea of how it will come out. BTW The missile silo area, I'm thinking of adding 2 obj inside of the silo itself one where you come in and one at the very bottom. Plus multiple levels inside the silo. Also i did away with the grass cause it caused alot of fps problems.

If you want to learn how to map check out the level creation forum on insmod.net and all the information posted there, it'll tell you how to set up Hammer to make INS maps, also check out Hammer tutorials (Hammer is the editor for Source games... you can get it by downloading the Source SDK through Steam. Check the Tools folder in Steam.)

Yes Hammer is the main tool to use for map editing. It is within sourcesdk. Their are other free map editing tools that supports bsp compiling but I've never used em.
