Custom Mapping

[EDITKaos]

I have been doing custom maps for quite a while now mostly with the Unreal Engine but Insurgency has got me wanting to do something with the Source Engine and Hammer. Would anyone else be interested in doing some sort of collaborative EGO map for Insurgency?

I know nothing about mapping but I love playing on new maps so if you need Beta testers let me know.

 

[The Big Herm]

Awesome idea! Let me know when you guys have screen shots and stuff of whatever you come up with

 

[EDITKaos]

Will do Herm.... PM me josh and well trade contact info so we can decide which direction we wanna go with it

I don't know how to do any of that, however, when you get it up I would love to play test for you.

 

[EDITKaos]

Well the map is underway after a couple hours fighting with the editor getting it configured for INS

 

[EDITKaos]

I'd like to hear from the community as to what they might like the map to be ie.

1.Setting
2.Ideas for creative choke points
3.Creative physics implementations

Just give me what you got . This whole process will go a lot quicker if im building with something in mind rather than making it up as i go.

I would like to see a map based off of a battle I was in while in Iraq.

On one side of the river was Fallujah Hospital, on the other side was the city. Insurgents were held up inside of the hospital while Marines and Army fought through the city and across the river to defend the hospital. The insurgents should be kept from crossing bridges and should not be allowed to leave the hospital. Here is a picture.

Upper left corner is the hospital. 2 Bridges cross the river and were secured as marines and army approached the hospital. Hope this helps.

 

[EDITKaos]

I dont see any picture

nm there it is

 

[EDITKaos]

Is there somewhere I can get good quality EGO logos and relevant material to put in the map?

Is this Fallujah General Hospital? Was it in 2004 or 2006?

Was the city secure?

What type of in place deference did the bridges have?

Do you imagine marines spawning in the city, fighting their way across the bridges, then up to the hospital?

How many civilians were present in each of the zones?

Did your unit fight from vehicles? Cav moves fast, but did they that day?

I can build this, but I need to smell the fuel and taste the smoke.

 

[EDITKaos]

I checked out the hospital and it didnt seem as big as i thought it would be judging from the aerial. The new hospital seems a little more interesting however im still undecided as to what the setting will be. Im thinking to future proof it I might go with the whole INS Beta 3 Kosovo theme.

Is this Fallujah General Hospital? Was it in 2004 or 2006? 2006

Was the city secure? Was the city ever secure?

What type of in place deference did the bridges have? Bridges had jersey barriers and sandbags

Do you imagine marines spawning in the city, fighting their way across the bridges, then up to the hospital? Yes

How many civilians were present in each of the zones? 100's

Did your unit fight from vehicles? Cav moves fast, but did they that day? We fought from buildings and vehicles. We moved very slowly, block by block and street by street

Hammer is not too different from UnrealEd. I made this test room last night to familiarize myself with some of its features.

Nothing fancy really my main goal was to figure out how to do displacement geometry with a seemingly asymetrical water volume

 

[EDITKaos]

I found this picture of Prishtina, the capital of Kosovo and thought that it would make an excellent setting for the map. What do you guys think?

 

[PDX_Capy]

Here is what I am gonna be working on:

The backstory is already writen, but I have not typed it up yet.

2010 Attack on the Masqued Cleric.

awaiting Beta

I think I'll take a crack at The Big Herm's bridge/hospital idea. edit: I probably would never get around to doing it.

still no word from josh
