I'm thinking of going through all the overview maps and adding little things like pictures of objectives and other minor enhancements. First I thought I might give you guys a preview to see what people think or would like to see.

The first mape I've done is for kraftstoff, I've paper clipped pictures of the objectives to the edges of the map.

VERY good idea! I like it! :D

Kalt

Very very nice. I enjoy these. :)

that is awsome! GJ!:)

Trigger, you were always the best. Now have my babies.

:D

while we're on the topic...

i've been thinking about making my own overheads for custom maps that don't have any... but...


how would do this?

how do i get the perspective used for the old fashioned way (i.e. the overheads in 3.0 and 3.1 were simply in game screenshots)


is it just a matter of going into spectator and going really high up and take a snapshot or what? i doubt this but who knows.

i just need a tamplate to work with before starting.

you are one of 3, maybe 4, people who has even recognized where that name comes from over the past two years. though to be fair, i stopped using the name a bit before 3.0 came out.

Don't know if you came across this on the mapping forums Trigger or whether you can make use of it, or anyone else for that matter, but it's a basic mini map template made by Majestic 12.

i will use them if you realease them cool

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice. I like the little player icons, too.

Bump, this looks very promising.

Yes they do look good, hop on aim, i got some ideas for it :)

looks reelly sweet trigger...

i'd love to get them :)

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them because on some maps I'm wondering what I should do. Mainly the flag maps where there aren't really any key areas or objectives to point out.

In the mean time, here's two more that I've finished.

Here's Zalec...

trigger how do u have a sten on Kraftstoff?

That's not a sten in that pic, it's an fg42 with ajer's excellent texture on it

OT: ne1 know where i an get the overviews for dod_meredet and dod_vincenza? i know they exist but the links are down on all the webbys i have tried.

ty phokus.

@Trigger:
On the flag maps?
make a nice scenig screen of one of the capture points, put a lens flare in it, and put it on the map like it would be a photograph, and everybody is happy
(just a thought) :D

I've finished Anzio, Caen, Charlie, Donner, Jagd, Kalt, Krafstoff, and Zalec now, but there are still seven maps to go. I'm running out of ideas for things to do, so if anyone has any suggestions for any of the maps that I haven't mentioned, your suggestions are welcome.

First of all, nice idea! It may look weird when it's small and in the corner of the screen, but who cares! It's cool eye-candy.

Here's an idea for the sake of suggesting:

Make some sharpie circles around things like TNT walls, bazooka-able targets, or objectives. Make the map look like it was written upon, with miscellanous notes scribbled around different places. Here's a small example of what I mean:

Again, I'm looking forward to this.

It would be nice if this project was complete...

I really like em, but i don't like adding half-complete stuff.

Trigger, are you planning on releasing the overviews you have completed thus far?

well, he didnt finish it, but he released what he had completed... :( pity, it was really good

Outstanding idea trigger. :) And who did the overview and marked a boulder? lol ...

In Forest, you can blow those boulders with rockets.

I can't remember when what he'd finished was released. >_< I'd love to have what's done, though.

Any news, Trigger?

What can I say, Trigger? You make mine eyes water... *sniff* *sniff*...

Very nice work, to say the least.

Hate to tell you guys... but I havent seen trigger for about a week and a few days now, dunno where he is.. so dont expect a reply soon. :)

well, i found where the compelted ones are - http://dodec.hlgaming.com/filedb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=599

Thanks, harbinger. :)

heh, this is great idea. I'm gonna work into my maps overviews when I make em.
