Ive been working on a new map for the upcoming Core Patch 2 and quite a few maps for Reborn.
I work about 45-50 hours a week and have little time to get these maps done. I manage to get a good chunk of work done here and there and figure a decent graphic qaulity map can be achieved in under 10 hours.
This includes....
Terrain modeling Texturing Base welding object placement LE setup
A few other things such as :
custom models(various time depending on what you want to model) VIS mesh (usually not long but a flying map will take more time) VIS generation(1-24+ hours for your PC to chug away and optimize the FPS rate for your map) pathfinding (30 or so mins of PC work) Play Testing(various time)
these will add more time to the project.
So if you want a playable map it's should be under 10 hours.....If you want a high framerate you need to let your pc chug away at cleaning it up.
1st Figure out what kind of map you want to make,
Theme (forest,desert,beach...etc.) Size and Gameplay.
Im going to start with gameplay and draw out a map on paper...this includes
Infantry only areas(tunnels,vehicle blocked areas) Tank path's Tiberium fields ARTY/MRLS area's (make sure no B2B) Sniper areas Base structure postioning etc..
It has a beach theme and the size is small.
After that's done, time to open Ren-x
For the first 4 or so hours we will create the terrain
I'll be back with pictures of progress..........
