Stopped map

[Giskard_hun]

Hello guys,

 

2 months ago I start to build a really large and complex map, but it seems I have no time to finish it. This map would be an extended remake from an other, old, cool and popular game (of course I don't want to tell here which game is it). I connected the first 2 maps (big castle) + I wanted to join the 3. map (which is a very special map) but I have no more time. I made new terrains and now you can walk into those buildings, levels and parts of the map which was only as "background" buildings in the original game. The original game was linear, but in this case you can make your own ways on roofs...etc. Really-really complex map. The brush works (expect doors) are complely done, but of course you can modify it.

 

If you are interested in please send me a pm and I'll give any details + and if youwant/can continue the works I'll send the files! I used original Darkradiant materials. I planned to add a crypt level below the castle as a bigger addition, but the time is a big lord...

 

Waiting for your reply, because I don't want to waste the last 2 months + this great map.

Ugh, it's really tempting but I'm going full steam on two maps at once at the moment. Wish I could help but I'm having to restrain myself =P

We have a procedure in place for abandoned work here.

 

You can PM fllood and he should be able to put your work in a repository from which an interested author can adopt it.

Hello guys,

 

Here is some shots of my half maded maps. I hope you can realize which was the original game )))

From pic5 I had to raise the gamma with 50%, because there aren't still any light.

+here are some more without lights, but with 50% raised gamma.

And the last ones:

 

 

 

 

On this picture you can see the connected maps together with an eye of a bird

Nice work so far Giskard!

 

Give me a heads-up per PM if no one has taken over your work so far.

I would archive an asset snapshot on the TDM server and add it to the Abandoned List of FM for anyone interested to proceed your work in furtue.

That looks like a very nice castle complex, wouldmind having a fly around inside it.

[grayman]

Reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

[SeriousToni]

Wow that looks really nice - please start working on it again! NAO!!

[Deadlove]

Reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

 

Yeh, the second screenshot reminds me of RTCW a lot.

[Melan]

Some of that architecture is rather good! I hope someone can complete it.

[Giskard_hun]

Reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

 

JACKPOT!

(I also planned to add the legendary tram map, I hope someone can finish it)

[Bikerdude]

@Giskard, do you mind if we add put this map up for adoption?

[grayman]

Do we have any IP issues reproducing a commercial map so closely?

[Bikerdude]

Oh, is that what this map is..?

[grayman]

As far as I can tell from the screen shots, and the author admits upthread that it's straight from Return to Castle Wolfenstein (I think it's mission #1), and that he (at the time) was also looking into duplicating the following mission which involved the tram escape off the mountain.

 

So if someone takes over this map, they need to either:

 

a - show how the map doesn't duplicate the RtCW mission.

 

or

 

b - make enough changes that it's no longer recognizable as such

[Bikerdude]

Hmm, I can't see anyone taking it on then.

[Giskard_hun]

Of course, it's up to you. My only target is that someone finish it, because I worked 2,5 months on it and I don't like if it going to waste. Important thing, that I didn't duplicate the original map, because it was impossible (to me). I built it from zero and I had modify it in many parts, because I had to cennect the first 2 maps and many rooms had "collision" problem. For example if you remember there was a room with wine-barrels on the second map. i had to push down with one flooer...etc.

 

The map is fully nonlinear, which means you can travel on roofs or hallways. But nevermind, if you have to collect the loots, you have to infiltrate in every room. I planned a bonus lower level with undeads as a fully new part (because it would be an earlier status of the castle which is fully locked in the age of rtcw)

 

To be honest I would like to send the files only in that case if someone say that ok, I'll continue.

[Giskard_hun]

Ok, I finished a project (medal of honor cooperative mod) and because Gamespy will be dead and there is no other friendly solution in the horizont, I continue the work on the RTCW map. I checked other fms before it, and I'm 100% sure that I cannot product those professional details by the entities what I saw in other maps, but the brushes and lights will be ok (I hope)
