I decided to make a new Renegade map. I just started this morning so it might be a little while before I show more images. I will say that it's a much more 'normal' map than I usually create.

..So it isn't unnecessarily large like Epocilation and it wont feature any unique catches like I tend to try making with most of my maps. It's a straight forward Renegade map in scale with the other stock maps in Renegade.


Now I wouldn't have created this thread to just tell people I'm making the map. I'd of preferred to just wait til I had some images to show off. But the reason I made the thread is to discuss the name of the map.

Is the name "Drift" used for another Renegade map? I like the name but I don't want to use it if there is already a C&C_Drift. Does anyone know if it is available?

I hope it won't be as gay as your text color.

I've never heard of a level called Drift, but I do agree with Zunnie. Can we stop these posts that are colored in some random hue? It doesn't make you look unique. Your text just looks annoying and it makes me want to put you on my ignore list.

It's like that for more reasons than to just look pretty. But it's primarily for my own benefit since no one else posts in the same color I do.

What difference does it make? It's not like we're all posting anonymously. I see your user name and avatar every time you post. The color just makes it annoying.

It's so I can find my posts out of everyone's without having to stop and look for a user name. Also makes it easy to see who quotes me.

But whatever, this is going off topic. I'll have some renders of the map hopefully by tomorrow.

Unique? Maybe I talk in this color, too.

On topic: No, I've never seen a map called Drift yet.

text color never bugged me, stop being faggots

Anyway, my initial expectations upon reading the title is that someone made some shitty racing map or something. But considering you're not a half bad level artist, I'm actually curious as to what the theme of a level called "drift" is like

please let it be a DM set on a massive ship adrift in the ocean, that'd be fucking cool

Choosing a color to write in makes it easier for people to spot out others they want to ignore and not read their messages.

Ok, enough with the text color debate.

Here is an early render of the map so far. I haven't done very much with it... but the basic layout is pretty much complete.

Now I did say that it's scalable to stock Renegade maps. That might not exactly be accurate... as it ended up coming out a little bit longer than those maps... but that doesn't mean it is necessarily "big."

See for yourself. It isn't big, but it's not small either. I'd estimate about a 1-2 minute drive from WF to Airstrip.

I can easily modify that cliff if that is a problem. But I don't think it will be. That cliff is much thicker than it looks.

Cliffs need more work - they're flat. Same problem Blazea ran into, it looks like someone just pulled their hands through clay without refining it. I'm not a big fan of the symmetrical nature of it either. I think there's room for pushing it farther than this. I know you're in an "early" stage but it has potential that would be a shame to waste on simply cloning the look of Renegade levels.

Can you elaborate more on how you think it's symmetrical? I thought it had quite a different feeling for each base. It's the gameplay that matters and I see each team playing very differently from each other since neither base position shares the same advantages or disadvantages.

It's about 80% symmetrical. There isn't much that differentiates each base. They're both open. They both have a low/high road to take. There's nothing particularly different about each one from the images you've shown.

Also, please, don't tell me "it's the gameplay that matters" again. I'm well aware that it's important. If gameplay is all that matters, you shouldn't post images for people to discuss. It's a cop-out that many people use to avoid criticism of their work. I know you're better than that.

You took it the wrong way. I'm not trying to avoid any criticism or shy away from doing any work. I made this thread to discus ideas to make the map better and I intend to use any advise given. That's why I asked you to elaborate on why you thought it was symmetrical.

I meant it as in the gameplay, from how I see it, isn't going to be the same for each team as it would on a map like Hourglass or City.

ANYWAY, here are some of my plans:
-I think I'm going to make an infantry tunnel through that skinny cliff near GDI's base.

-I'm also going to put some sniper nests in two of the center cliffs.

-The middle open area of the field is going to be for Tiberium. I'm undecided if it's going to be one large shared field or two small fields within shooting distance of each other. I might make it one large field to make it harder for infantry travel.

Looks nice so far. Not sure how ack thinks it looks symetrical, to me it's far from it. Blazea58's map is symetrical as hell... but who cares? There is more to a map than just looks, it also has to play well. That is where Glacier Flaying fails.

He made an infantry-only level which is completely different than one that's got vehicles in it. Symmetrical qualities tend to make easily-defended choke points that cause games to be more about Nod's Artillery spam rather than any kind of tactics.
