Don't think of them as attacking you, some might not word it very gently, but it's constructive if you take their criticism and apply it. Try toning down the emitters, try removing some cars, or stealing them from London... don't get upset though, it'll all work out in the end. Believe me, all of us (including ZB) WANT to see you bring out a good map... good maps are like gold for the community. Hang in there.

I have to admit it's annoying having the basic smesh size of the cars all different. Check west london to see the 'correct' size.

I was thinking of making a subway level with trains but i bet iff i made that again i would probley have people saying ah this is crap Ahh wast of download!

I was thinking about making a trainmap, too (Well, it's a nice and fresh
idea - As far as it doesn't ruin the gameplay).
I'm quite not sure how that train I'm planing should work, so I gave up
on that idea for a while.

I thought of many scenarios about how and where should be the
monster spawns and how to not make the train as a "first choice
savezone" for all.

I even thought to let the Players start in an already driving train -
seemed to me as a nice idea and it was easy to map it, but than I
wasn't able to figure out a good story for it (I was asking myself: Why the
fuck are endless amounts of zombies spawning in a driving train -
where the hell do they all come from?^^ Bathroom? xD).

If you have an idea how to handle that train-thing, RESPECT!

Hey i can promise you this isent 5 minuts work Lets try 1 week off work maby more, I dident promise it was going to be great i just whanted to make a small map with lots of zombies coming up the stairs and im shure it was bad. But you can give me more credit then 5 minuts of work, What els did you expect me to put in there a frekin plane It wasent bad i dident think because it was my first kf map and it works at least, I was thinking of making a subway level with trains but i bet iff i made that again i would probley have people saying ah this is crap Ahh wast of download!




The zombies aren't the Problem on your map - The low framerate 'cuz of that uber-fog kills me!


Blame medic for that one he made really big emiters and its a tad more laggyer then the 400 small ones


Evrey one of the cars are 3 times as big as nomal because there super small at nomal size if i went to 4 maby big foot would off owned the cars blame the meshes for being difrent sizes

Well next time you release crap like this we will all say you Own.
Ok?

I have a half-finished map based on a moving train, but ti sucks because it's just like a corridor, with seats.

AFAIK, alex88 has a trainstation map in the works atm.

I know how to design a train map. Simple, the DRF receives an SOS on a runaway train from civilians. They are dropped off via chopper (you can set it up to hover over the train and then leave like in London) and then you are in maybe 5 or 6 cars, and the ends of which are impassible zombie spawns, as though they are coming from either ends of the train. Just fill it full of crap so you can't snipe them from the entire train length and you have a nasty claustrophobic map. You have at least four spawns, from inside on both ends and on top of both ends.

EDIT: And it won't be a corridor with seats... doesn't have to be a Japanese subway train.. make it the Oriental express... throw in a dining car, or one with cabins... think of welding shut a cabin that has a good weapon spawn...

Oh k butcher your simply attacking me now, Iff you think you could do better then i would like to see that

Iff i was gonna make a train map i wouldent make it so u carnt go on it. I would just make a moving train with sound effects with a platform

[uwasawaya]

Actually, I think a runaway train in transit would be badass now that I'm thinking about it... if Kyben or Doyora wanted to work on it, I could help with sketches and layouts... it would be pretty sweet, if brutal. I have some neat ideas on setting up zombie spawns and whatnot as well...

[Fraser]

What about a runaway train thats ON FIRE!!!!!

[uwasawaya]

That would certainly add to the drama... and what's a KF map without fire?

But seriously, it would be more of a verticle map then a horizontal. It would take some thought, like being on top of the train wouldn't net you any ammo/weapon spawns, but you'd have a clear shot... but inside it's more cramped. And maybe the passages between some cars'll be blocked, forcing you to go outside or maybe into a service level beneath it. Could be a pretty big passenger train.

[Fraser]

Or you could just have a map were your acturaly on the train make a masive masive slow mover and make a train out of brushes i saw some one make a invasion map out of this its pretty clever OR just moving wall textures.

[uwasawaya]

Actually I'm talking about actually being on a moving, runaway luxury passenger train... problem is I can't map...

And I imagine there would be static meshes galore for it... :\

[mrmedic]

Fraser, if you would like to make a train map. I would be very open to help you.

I recommend a movingskyzone...they work as far as I know...

[uwasawaya]

Man, see, after hitting up Wikipedia, you could use double decker (bilevel) train cars for multiple levels, or a dome car for a split up and down in the center of one train.

Kyben, Doyora, you reading this? Does it seem too much, or am I possibly on to something?

[Doyora]

Well, your previous posts pretty much described the map I had. There are a few problems with the ideas you suggested:- In the UK we only have (pretty much) the 'Intercity' kind like a realy basic TGV. You could spice it up with dramatic liscence etc, but two floors is a bit far. I could send you waht I have, but it's a bit basic. + I'm hesitant.
