Hi everyone, as you maybe noticed I am new here. Maybe you saw me a couple of times over Viper 3.
First of all, I want to say I am not a map maker, I don't know how it works and I don't have the time to learn map making (and I don't think I want right now). But I am giving a map idea, feel free to make a map from it, do wathever you want with it I'm not gonna sue you  . It's open to everyone
So here's the idea.
Night Blasted Canyon
As you can see, by the name, it would be a remake of BC. And it would be at night. I think that since it is a big map (but not too big) and that it have nice base structures, it would intruduce, if it wasn't done before, an interesting stealth element to CTF games. Teams could now rely on darkness to steal the flag. Teamwork would be improved that way, since it would require a sharper defence and a tight communication in case of flag captures.
The only thing that I fear is if it can be done with the technology available in map making for Red Faction. It would not require real-time lighting, but more like light zones.
Anyway, enough with speaking, let's go with the interesting part: the concept pictures. Enjoy! The pics are not too big so it should not take so long to load! 56k friendly!
I hope that you like the idea!  |

it's a good idea, but it wouldn't really change anything in Blasted Canyon except for the atmosphere of the map. If I were you, you should make it at Night but add more to it, like hidden rooms or secret passages to the other bases. |

I didn't think about this, it's a good idea - but like it said, I won't do the map myself: I gave an idea and anybody can build from it. The atmospehre change was kind of the idea itself, I think that it can be something interesting by itself, but I'm not restricting anyone to add their ideas to mine: I am open to anything that can come up from the initial concept. |

thats as simple as taking all of the lights out of the map..unless u actually want an odd golw to the map, then all u have to do is reconfigure all of the lights..
but i is too busy to do myself |

I think this would be a good idea if you also added the light out effect. I think GTA or Ninja Came up with a way to make a night effect with the push of a button you couldn’t see any parts of the map. Though on and off doesn’t work to well as the day/night effect doesn’t happen to every one at the same time, a constant night effect could really make that map interesting. |

Its possible to do this map in about 30minutes, if that. I could do it for you, however im working on my Master Piece map. Maybe I will take itup later on  I love BC, would be cool at night, however 2 flaws.
1. Teamwork, players online never do teamwork, even if they need to.
2. not many people DL customs, would be hard to get a good number playing this. |
Trying to find old players. Anyone about? Drop me a PM or reply to this thread:

this sounds like a fun map.."not many people DL customs, would be hard to get a good number playing this"..well,if its good,and a server hosted it,it will  |
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference. |

Well from what i can guess, he took screenshots and then added lights in using a Image program. |

Those pics are screenshots that I have modified by hand with GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program - it's like a photoshop for Linux). It's like a compliment you make to me that you didn't noticed it . You can notice that it has been modified with a drawing program by looking at the HUD. I added a blue tone to the surroundings, but it also applied on the HUD so it is slighlty blue (look the bottom left part).
For the teamwork side, well when I play with friends over TS, you could be surprised , but I agree: teamwork is rare. But when there is, it's much more fun .
As for the ppl who use custom maps, I think it's like that for a lot of maps, but that doesn't mean no one would play it. Sometimes ppl get there server up a night with their friends and play custom maps that they have.
Anyway, I'm glad that you like the idea and that ppl are interested making it |
