this is my first map and overall i think its looking pretty good. There are a couple of errors like the uvw mapping and stuff but, ill fix that later.

heres some pics:

the level

the aircraft carrier ship thing

^^^there is a model like that on turbosquid, i based mine off of it and used the runway bitmap for right now^^^

EDIT: i forgot to say that im going to have water later and another base but right now im having errors putting the water in.

It's ok, good for a first, but maybe add water so its not a floating Air Craft "Carrier".

what do you guys like better: grassy hills, sandy hills, or cliffs?

Needs a sand texture under te water. Its very unateral to have grass under water, but you can have a Rockey cliff, then runs into sand once water comes.

ya, its not supposed to have grass underwater, the bitmap screwed up. so im just going to have all sand and then some water and some rocky cliffs.

ya, i tried it and i got open edge errors on the plane that was supposed to be water...

ill try it again later.

you make get an open edge error if your water is appart of the BSP. Water has to be a seperate plane. So just drag a large square plane larger than the skybox and make that your water. Also make sure your water materia is the same name as the texture. so like

Code: Select all

water!$

or w/e the texture name is.
