My first dod map. It's a little and funny map that occurs in a bunker.

This is the beta 1. A beta 2 is in preparation with more details.

needs more crates.

it's a bunker or a bunker isn't destroy by bomb, no ?

indeed :rolleyes:

Damn get some pipes in there!

You do with putting the ladder and other things textures that suite. Instead of purple ...

Some quick advice in picture format.

Oh, and less crates. Replace 'em with bunks, tables, barrels, footlockers, pipes, just vary it.

thx for your advices.

I prepare a beta 2...

Metal floor all over doesn't look too natural either.
PS. For a moment I hoped for Narby's dod_bunker.

I'm french and i can't explain that in english because my level isn't higher, that i will explain in french (use google for having a translation) : Donc j'ai rajouter des textures d'affiches de propagande, pour eviter la répétition du decor. J'ai rajouter quelques objets à la place des caisses.

Tomorrow i will put screenshots of my work...

Same here.

@Strato: Kleinluka meant that there are too many crates (boxes). Not craters. It's not that bad for a fun map (i have seen a lot of worse maps. Gameplay and/or graphical wise).

yeah, i see my translation error after posting the reply...

i don't understand, you want more crates or less ?

less, but replaced with other stuff, tables, pipelines, ventilators, you name it

Si tu ne peux t' exprimer en englais, les forums englais tu délaisseras, ou un bon traducteur tu achèteras. J' ai rajouté é que ceci n' entame en rien la qualité de la map sous-jacente à ce thread.

Translation: Please speak english.

oh! be cool... :cool:
I started english for 5 years... and i'm not the best...
Are you ever go in France ? certainly not but i went to California in summer 2001 (Los Angeles, San Franscico ans Las Vegas) ant to N.Y this summer (just before the electric breakdown )

Look's like it'll be a great map if you follow the advice of the previous posters in this thread.;)

I haven't played in it yet, so I don't know if it's fun, but from a mapper's perspective I'd say this really isn't ready for release yet. You basically have a bunch of hollowed out cubes that are textured, and some more cubes inside that are textured. NOW that is a good start, but maybe try to make it look good too. Keep in mind I am not flaming the map, I just think you should add a little more to it. But hey that's what betas are for. By B_2 I bet this thing will be a lot better.

K to get u on the right track...

1. Back in the day I came out with a bunker map called dod_akte, I think u should download it and see if u get any ideas. Pics and download here: http://dod.daddeln.de/download.php?fileid=152.

2. Also maybe try to find some actual photos of old German bunkers or any bunkers for that matter for reference.

3. Also check out the pics of Barney's unreleased map dod_bunker: http://www.csnation.net/barney/index.php?page=maps&map=dod_bunker Shame he never released it...

4. Also check out other WWII games like MOH:AA, they have bunkers in them to give your mind ideas.

Alright now off with you, I expect this to look 10 times better the next time I see it. Good luck!;)

I visit the Normandie and 2 war museum (the Memorial de Caen and an other), I see some photos of the Maginot line, and I've got some books about WWII but there such details that we can't reproduce because they are complex.

for the B2 i make a wad with propaganda poster to brighten the map...
I have already added some furniture and other textures for crates...

PS : sorry if you don't understand very well but my english level is not high :(
PS2: If you know some sites where i can download some custom mapmodels, can you pass me the adress, thx
