Yo folks,

I've been working on a map for zombie survival and i would like to show it to you.

It has no name yet but here are some screens:

Here are all screenshots with some other informations.

The map is no rip-off, everything is made by me.

It's still not finnished, if you don't like something, please tell me and i'll try to make it better.

Cheers

That's pretty well designed for a first map! I like the pool and the bar. Make sure to playtest it a lot and it'll end up in the mapcycle on our server in no-time

Looks cool

[RoboRobb]

Looking good!

[Kraay]

Looks nice, although it would be nice if you can make better doors and windows (try to search for good tutorials if needed).

[Deluvas]

thats the spirit , samx!! yeah go for the mappers (typo here, i was tired)

[Samx]

Thanks for all the comments and thanks for the tipp Ywa.

I changed the windows and doors a bit, i hope they're better now.

Here is v1 of my map i named it "house_number_23.bsp"

You can test it if you want.. If you find a bug or something i wasn't able to find, please let me know

Here are some more screens:

Cheers

[Deluvas]

[Damien]

Here are some screens to show you what it looks like now...

I hope you like it

[LyX]

Hey !

The Map is awesome... its really has the Zombie Survival atmosphere !!!

I hope to see this map on the server... if all maps were like this i would play a lot more i think.

BTW: the pool looks nice ^^

[Deluvas]

it sure really is a good zombosphere (zombies + atmosphere = zombosphere ) ... you can disable the shadows on some props so they look nice...(for eg : like the breakable on the front door) . I can't wait to play this ....

oh and btw, can you give my map a run too ? cause i wanna play that too

[Samx]

thanks for the tip.. i'll reupload the version with the fixed shadows in a few minutes

of course i'll test your map .. the pictures looked awesome! i'll reply to your topic when i'm finnished

Edit: Here it goes: zs_house_number_23

Been playing it, simple style, but solid design. Much like Deluvas map in the other topic. But the same criticism applies too, yet to a lesser extent. If I watch the house from the backyard I get an average fps of 60, which is low for my kind of processing power. Let Prismaa test it for a second and tell his average fps overall.

Prismaa: around 35fps lol

He didn't wanna post it -.-

Jaja, your map is awesome!! D:

Much better than mine lol, it's trash

[Samx]

Ouch, lol.. then i'm gonna try to optimize it.. I'll post again tommorrow.

[Prismaa]

just to say my specs are like 3.2ghz p4 (single core) 1gb ram and 8600gt

Oh, thought you said Geforce 6600 last time. Anyway, 35 fps on such a system is not too unthinkable, I still worry about lower-end systems. Put in some good optimization and let me know about any improvement.

[Samx]

Yo,

I tried to optimize it.. now i get 65 fps when i look at the house.. I have a ATI HD 3870 2 gig ram and amd 4400+ x2

PS: i get around 40 fps on storm

I don't know if its enough for you but here it is :

[Damien]

i should say to people lower your anti-aliasing setting, because my fps increased with 30-40 fps thanks to that .

[Samx]

Hmm.. I but i think the map runs quite ok..

there are maps where my fps drop below 40 and on my map its never under 60.. so I think its not thaaat bad..

[Damien]

I playtested the map and i think it looks really good. i also did an fps bench mark with this comp and fraps:

intel dual core e6850 @ 3.0ghz

4 gb ddr2 @800 mhz

XFX 9600 gso 768 mb ddr2

sound blaster x-fi xtreme gamer fatality pro(don't know if it makes any difference )

Min fps: 64 (around campfire, while watching directly into the flame)

Max fps: 111 (in house basement)

Avg fps: 83

[Samx]

Thats pretty good i think, i hope its enough

[Clavus]

Thats pretty good i think, i hope its enough

It's good enough. I put it in the mapcycle! Make sure to give some feedback after a few playtests.
