Playable City

[mango]

I made this city for a map I've been working on, the map is nowhere near completion, but I wanted to share some work. It's a port city with almost 50 enterable buildings, including an Arena, Church, Palace, a gigantic Inn, Guilds, shops and of course residences. Please note that I didn't put any thought into the sky or any epic lighting, I just wanted to show the city's structure and environment, not make a pretty picture. Hope you like it!

It looks good. With some more life (people etc.) on the streets and I think it'll be awesome!

 

[Dr. House]

Intresting for WIPS if you work more on it this could be very good

 

[tunerband]

Oh my god... CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!! Thats all I have to say

 

[Megafyr]

Looks pretty awesome. can't wait to try it out.

This look sweet. Are there quests and stuff like that in this map, or is it just for show?(to walk around and check out the map)

No quests yet, I'm still working on the world terrain (it's becoming a long process) but the story is finished, so when the terrain is finished I'll start triggering and implementing quests.

Awesome, so in a way this will be the new LOAP. You play as a villager and run around town doing stuff. lol

 

[Nickoulas]

What also could be a great idea for this map, could be a system (some triggering), which did, that at day, alot of people were on the streets, markets were opened and so on. And then at night, there might not be as many people, markets could be closed, criminals could be running the backallys, and so on.

That's part of the plan

Aye, nice indead

 

[Velmarshal]

Looks epic to put it simple.
There are soo little original playable terrains that this deserves... ahem deserves...


... rep.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Finally an awesome playable terrain, not that showcase crap.

 

[Malcous]

Great city terrain

 

[Erkowich]

Epic shit!

 

[Corexx]

Superb architecture!
Just the grey towers ( in the foreground of the first picture for example ) looks out of place.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

awesome

Yup.

 

[Slaydon]

reminds me of oblivion (Church) Epic tho

 

[xXx-Tricky-xXx]

Very nice terrain, really does look like a city and im sure ingame, it would feel like one as well. i have been trying to create a small city with trees and such around it for my third person shooter map and i just cant come up with any kind of variation lol. very well done ++rep

 

[PurgeandFire]

It looks pretty sweet. It looks almost like stormwind in some areas. You could probably spice it up a bit more with some props, (just to add some variation), but otherwise it is awesome.

its nice to see another fellow actual playable map maker . . not the uesual showcase peices, this map is turely awsome and has massive amount of potential still to give few small things tho:
1.sort out the tinting issues so colors blend better e.g. teh archways and the stone walls (if you cant get them to blend then take the texture out of wc3 mod it then reimport it, you wont need to rebiuld the map dw but still amkea back up . . )
2. just a little bit mroe indepth things as you go along i know your proberbly already doing it, things like boxes, flags, barrels, and lights and stuff
3. depending how indepth you want to go might i sugest working out a hover movement system that way you can have multiple layers but is always gonna be a bitxch to get a camrea to work

but awsome map cant wait to see it playable . . . have fun pathing mapping it . . XD

 

[Linaze]

Awesome.
'nuff said.

 

[mango]

Superb architecture!

Thanks, I did spend a semester studying Architecture, but it didn't work out...

have fun pathing mapping it . . XD

it's already pathed, now onto quest-building

thanks all for the thoughts and suggestions, i'll hopefully have something new and updated to post soon

 

[Bu113t]

well, too bad 3d pathing is .... almost unachieveable, if your map had it it would be
superb too. but according to screenshots, it took a while to path map it I guess.

 

[mango]

according to screenshots, it took a while to path map it I guess.

Yes, especially since many of the buildings have more than 1 floor... ><

 

[Bu113t]

ah, and did u make 3d pathing? so you can go in more than floor in the same building? since its single player 3d is a little easier.

 

[madcd]

unfortunatly wc3s limitations only allow 2 floors at a time but i have an idea that could make it work but 2 floors is enouth of a problem multiple floors could be an epic trigger than may just cause it to crash and thats only for single player

 

[Sheephunter]

The First whas epic becos of the water, Rep!

 

[RaijinSpark]

All of them are nice
