my WIP map (2-6)

Ixith

well i decided to put the mapping discussion to work a lil. i usually dont post here (although i may start moving here more now) but anyways i figured i would show all of you who may not have seen my current work of my next map.

Info:
Basics:
Name: ? i have no name yet so i am open to suggestions although The Raven has suggested Terrestrial Vicissitude which is the best suggestion so far.
Size:120X120
Players:2-6
Money on map: umm cant remember exact # and i cant be bothered to open FS right now but im pretty sure its in the upper 300,000s if not more
Theatre: Temperate
Map Style: Mutation (my specialty Very Happy

)

Lighting:
-the lighting is to give a dark mutative feel to it.
-overall lighting is looking good and is a dark somewhat red lighting
-lots of green lighting for the green mold. (green is looking VERY nice IMO right now)
-orange lighting for the VHMs which is also looking pretty decent right now
-blue for blue tib/mold areas and water. this is also looking decent
-near the waterfalls there is yellow lamps to light them up which looks ok. i may try to improve it some
-ion storm lighting......is well.....kinda ugly right now Sad

it will be much better once i change it slightly though. its a little too yellow and a little too bright right now

Triggers:
-there are a multitude of triggers right now however some of them arent working. as my speech trigger is causeing an IE even though i did EXACTLY the same thing from my other map where it DOES work. this will be fixed.
-triggers included are
>a few meteor storms. one set is caused by a local
>civillian evacuation (orca trans and civillian teams)
>reveal around meteor crash points
>ion storms. right now only 2 short ones which are using locals. (i may make a version without ion storms as i know some people hate ion storms)
>i will be adding tiberium creature spawning
>i may add day-night loops also
thats all the triggers i can think of right now i may be forgetting a few though

now im only going to show the minimap right now as i dont have enough time to upload all of them and plus the other ingame screenies i already have and have posted at Tumsun are outdated as of today so they wouldnt do you much good anyways. i will try and get updated ingame screenies as soon as i get ingame again. anyways here is the minimap Smile

ok well a little later than expected but here it an update! Very Happy

anyways i have gotten new ingame pics with the new lighting. ION STORM lighting included!! yes there are currently 2 ion storms that are activated and are both very short for now.

anyways i played it a few times and well gameplay is quite deadly with 5 hard AIs. and i still plan on boosting the defensive teams that the AI uses to.

anyways here are the pics #Tongue

A VHM area

a heavy mutated area during an ion storm

the ruined city during an ion storm

another city area. partly destroyed.

a small village sorrounded by tiberium

also more suggestions for a map name are needed. I still have quite a bit of triggers to do and maybe a little bit more to do with the lighting and then it will be released. So i need all the name suggestions as possible so i can get a lot of good names to choose from.

tell me what you think so far!

i'll have to say since your first map to this, this one is one of the best maps i've ever seen for TS and with TS/FS feeling, this truly deserves to be spotlighted it is so far absolutely utter fantastic

It does look like a very impressive map so far, I look forward to playing it!

Names..
Tiberian Progression..
Tiberian Dominance..
No Surrender, No Retreat..
The Scraps of War..
Pure 0wn4g3 on a stick.. #Tongue

I guess I'm just using general ideas, as there aren't any many themes or anything to follow. Still a very nice map.

Ah, you've almost completed it. Awesome so far!

I can also give out some ideas for names:

Country Within Chaos
Tiberian Essential
Veinmonster Vicious
Within Warfare

some are funny, some are not.

Within Warfare sounds great.

Ixith · Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 12:01 am Post subject:

heh i need to visit PPM more often......

anyways thanks for the comments guys

as for the names i like that have been suggested in this thread my 2 favs are:
1-Within Warfare
2-Tiberian Dominance

however i have also had a few other suggestions else where and they were:
-Tiberian Exodus (Atomic Gopher suggested this)
-Fall of Humanity (Atomic Gopher Suggested this)
-Terrestrial Vicissitude (Raven suggested this)
-Tiberius Influxus (Atomic Gopher suggested this to)
-Aergus Terra (my own means diseased land in latin. although it probably should be aerga terra i think....oh well)

so you guys tell me which you like best and which fits best and give some more suggestions if you have any.

if you want a story then fine have a story Very Happy

Story:
This land was once a nice country side with a inner city. However Nod had targeted this area to test their chemical missles when they were in newly developled stages. Thus the area quickly changed into a large mutated area almost inhabitable.

ok there is a short quickly thought up story for you Wink

now as for progress...nothing new as i havent had time really to do anything with the map.... so sorry no updates really...

BTW i think i will make a big preview like Aurora did with his new map

It works great.

I cant beleive you're calling that a WIP. Really spectacular map there, just like Aurora's map in presenting how the Tiberian era should be. Any tiberium mutants/mutations present on the map?

well its only a WIP because im still working on it plus i posted it here after i had already done almost everything and decided i wanted imput from the people here at PPM if you check my topic at Tumsun for this you will see a few early stages of the minimap and some early screenies.

and yes there wont be any major mutant bases or anything but there is a small mutant village in the north center part of the map and there will be tiberium creatures about the map.....not many but i may also add in some triggers for new ones to come every so often Very Happy

i want to know what other peoples opinions on a map name would be out of those i listed in my last post. So far Muldrake and Yuri06 have both said they liked Aergus Terra so i may go with that. however i would like more imput from other people.

BTW work on another snow map has already started some as iv gotten a little bored with this one although this one is pretty much finished now........depending on how much time i have i can either release by the end of the day tomorow, wednesday, or next weekend but it all depends on how much time i have and if i make a final decision on a map name. also if i choose to release it tomorow then there might not be a large preview but i do plan to make one for it eventually....(hopefully) Wink
