[WiP]ScarfaceMansion

[Sovario]

It's really starting slowly. Right now, I have one picture of the staircase I've been working on. It's hard since this is my first actual map.

Rebel side
You immediately spawn on the top floor in the office. The imperials are invading your mansion(I know I have no FA characters for this lol). You have to destroy the door and start kicking ass! But be warned, enemies can come in from the window behind you.

Imperial side
You spawn outside the mansion. You must destroy the front door and kill all rebels on the top floor. You can also use the rope outside the mansion which leads behind your enemies.

There will be similarities to the ending Scarface scene. I will make many things destroyable. Unfortunately, I'm not Sierra so I cannot make everything perfectly. Though if someone can make something that I can't, be my guest. I do need a chandelier(if that's how it's spelt) :)

<<That will be updated :D

[Aéró]

Sounds pretty Cool. It also could be in the Movie map Pack. ;)

[Frog]

sounds cool, i wish you luck :D

fiddly thing to make in radiant i suppose. better to get someone to make a model that you can use :P

edit: looked at the screen of thoe stairs closer up. i know it's your first go at mapping. but they look kinda squint, probably because the 'wall' going round the stairs on the inside is only 1 straight brush. you can get a nicer rounded effect if you used some curved patches (bevel) but that makes more work for you for the stairs, you'd need to chop off all the parts that stick through it :P

alternatively (lol) you could have the stairs in sections that go round in 90 degree angles. kinda like this (http://www.plucianobuilders.com/assets/images/amenities/staircases/staircase1.jpg) one. it's just that atm they can be better, so improve! :P

No, as that's Plasma's pack.

[Aéró]

Therefor i said could ,not can <.<

[Sovario]

well atm, I know the staircase could be SPECTACULAR, but.. right now I just want to finish it. I got a hella lot more to do right now, and I just want something completed. Though I promise it won't suck :)

[Tardismania]

looks good,

the Stairs look a bit Light'y

[Jack of Blades]

Very interesting.I wish you goodluck!

[Sovario]

I worked a little more on that section. It's a little crappy atm because there aren't enough decorations. I'm also very sorry but I do not model. If anybody would like to model statues that were ACTUALLY in Scarface for this map, please do. I will happily put them in the map :D

[Juggernut]

Change the textures and I can say that it is looking well. They are just too shouty if I can express myself like that. You also need some trims.

[Frog]

those must be radiant shots right? that cant be ingame with llighting :P if it is then im gonna come get you and...do things...lol xd

yeh as jugg said, your textures atm are just flat colours. dunno if they are just place holders or what, but if not, they need so more grit / variance / 'texture' tbh :P

a valiant start, keep going!

[LewsTherin]

The texturing is too monotone for colours that stand out like that.

[Sovario]

Here is an updated version. The map is actually, kinda done with it's shape. I have a ton more to do with the interior. Now the Imperials have three ways to get to the rebels up top. The stairs, the back rope, and now an additional staircase which leads up(I had seen it in some videos).

Here we have the main shootout location.






There are other spots I could have taken pictures of, but I want to keep them hidden as they were incomplete. I will let you in on some things nonetheless. There are two things I could have shown. One which was a picture of Tony Montana in-game. If you remember in the movie he had a painting of himself and his wife. Unfortunately, I could only find a nice picture of him :) As well, I included two little cocaine mountains on the desk.

Someday I'll close off some things and make it a single player battle.

[Sovario]

I've finished it today along with RyanPC's help. Okay.. when I say finished, what I mean is that it's 99.9% done and almost ready to be released. We'll be testing it tonight or tomorrow. Then we will decide if it's ready on the spot, and if it is, expect it out tomorrow :D

[Teelos]

Any Ingame shots available? You cant really tell how good it is from Radiant shots, need to know how the lighting and textures look in use. Also in the movie there were no statues, just the one globe monument, in the middle of the pool. Still a good effort.

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY0TbXo8BsA Learn your Scarface before assuming there were no statues.

-I also wish I had the actual models :(

Lastly, pictures will be uploaded tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if it will be out tomorrow. Anyways, I put some things in the map which weren't originally there to just cover up some space and make it more visual. There are pictures of Tony from the movie and such in the map. I tested the rope btw, and the way it will be used will be to step on a patch in front of it and it will push you up. I also will put in a notification for the rebels: Enemies in the back. LOL

[DarthNormaN]

the red hurts my eyes

[Sovario]

It looks better now Norman. I have new shades of red, AS WELL, I lowered how bright the outside was and added a nice night sky. It just lights up nicely.

[Tardismania]

btw,

i made the Chandelier :)

I'm wondering if you've watched that yourself ... I've never seen Scarface all the way through thought it was a bit naff but just watching that clip shows your map is off in a few key factors; texturing, brushwork and lighting.

If I were you I would spend a bit more time on this map before rushing it to release or try to make a few more practice maps before you reattempt it.

so thats the whole map then? what else is there to mapping xD

It was just a nice way of saying it all fails but there you go >_>

[Sovario]

Doesn't matter to me if you like it Plasma.. nobody else really ever took the attempt of making it for JKA or MB2, so until that happens, it doesn't matter. It looks good enough to me, and if you want to fix it when it's out, go ahead. I'm just gonna change the outside a bit and make it a more classic "you can't go through this part".
