If someone picks up the map, and then maybe abandon it. This way i can even pick it up myself later?

 

sure!

 

... as long a work is "free for adoption" (still or again) the original author always can pick his work up again.

 

I added that in the first post to clarification. :)

_Atti_: Do I recall correctly it is a mansion/city level? I may be interested in completing it as a secondary project to what I am working on.

Yes, its that , I just sent the PM to Fllood.

 

Well i would be glad if you did, beware it may not be so welcoming to newcomers who see it the first time..Bits done here, bits done there..some things in detail some are left plain..most of the main geometry is carved however..

Okay, I will PM him to see about it. :)

It's great that people are sharing unfinished work! I'm so excited that there are still FMs in the works! =3

Thanks for offering Biker. I archive all contributed maps and their regular updates on Fidcal's server for reasons in the first post.

 

Melan has adoped Atti's map. Please PM him for any questions or offers to this map.

 

I flagged you to adopt Johannes uncompleted work if you think you can lift working on that alongside continuing MD and Flanders aborted WIP's. If all that projects become to many to make complete please do consider contributing some of these unfinished work here for any mapper interested as well. ;)

Hm i think i will just do this.. I have a map and was going on and off with it..but it wont get anywhere like that..Will see to this.

 

As i see this.. If someone picks up the map, and then maybe abandon it. This way i can even pick it up myself later?

 

Yes that's the idea I think - if months later you have a burning desire to give it a go and no one is working on it - I'm sure you can go and try again if you declare it.

Setting the Scene is free for adoption again for any mapper interested.

 

Melan did a few touches on _atti_'s large abandoned map but has not the time to continue at the moment.

i finally collected the old started maps...

 

there are 5 maps:

 

- a started cellar of a castle or so

- 2 started castles, one based on a real one

- the cave from this vid

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZC1vXE9zn0&feature=related

 

 

- a second cave, VERY small, but nice...only to copy this onto the first one

 

here a pic of the "real castle":

all maps are from the beginnning...most have only some visportals.

maybe someone can bring the cellar, the castle and the caves together, that should be one mission at all.

i have to delete 2 things because of reusing them in my actual work...after this i will send them to fllood this evening

Ah I was wondering when you were gonna get around to releasing these, I believe I said I would take these on with help from Flood.

 

drop me a pm with the download links.

 

I was looking for something to do over Xmas and that castle looks so full of atmosphere I should be able to whip them together into a nice little sneak & look mission. I shall PM the usual suspects to help me with a suitable storyline.

@bikedude

 

From Johannes abandoned work please send me download links of two packages:

 

First - the one of the WIP of Johannes you like to use to merge into a FM. I add that one to the archive and the Abandoned List adoped by you.

Second package - the things you won't like to use (if any) so they are free for other people to put these to some good use as well.

 

Thanks Johannes & Biker.

Is the castle from the screenshot still available? Could save me weeks of work. (but need to inspect it first)

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
