What do you look for in a map?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you but I have been busy with studies

So what I have heard these are the things you generally want:

1. Detailed in the map along with custom assets to make the map stand out.
2. An nice off-roading section including mudding and rock crawling.
3. Nice smooth roads to drive on
4. Great views and natural view
5. Decent FPS

I have looked into how I could incorporate all of these features into a map and I think I have something planned

Keep an look out for an build log soon because I will be posting every step so you guys can input your ideas at every step of the way.

Thank you for the help

I really really really love a great big detailed map just to explore stuff. Both on and offroad. And a lot of roads. Also fps friendly. i have a crap laptop

 

Less trees and vegetation and more jumps and hill climbs. I'm sure not everyone can run this game very well, and a lot of the good maps have too low of an fps to actually enjoy fully. At least in my opinion, but I one thing i think at least most of the maps should be attempted to have a good fps and I know a lot of this is on the devs side as well. I do tweak maps myself, but I don't share them or anything. I just see something and change it. Just wish they'd add some more tools in the level editor. I see people have uploaded their version of gridmap, I did not know we could use the devs maps as starters and actually upload them. I was under the impression you had to start from scratch. Idk.

 

some government buildings for a little realism feel like fire station,police precinct,hospital etc

 

Highways and desert

 

christmas gift?

 

haha, that would be a gift that would put a grin on my face
*hint* *hint*

 

workin on it. how does an infinite frozen ocean sound? how big is too big? lol

 

haha, sounds awesome. and its not a question of how big is too big, its a question of "how big can you make this infinite frozen ocean without the game starting your computer on fire"

 

You could just turn grid small pure into ice.

 

that only depends on the distance your willing to go to set it on fire lol

 

50,000 x 50,000

 

I like to drive on big or long maps, usually with a long straight road. (Like Desert Highway)
I do enjoy some city maps but I understand that those things can be tiresome to make.

Normally what I do is get a slowish car and cruise around 50-65 MPH while listening to some music at night (its like driving... but virtually!)

 

I look for offoading and driving like a Tiger II bullet(if you know that tank) So dunes and a highways are the best

EDIT:Sorry for the crappy english

 

what I haven't seen in a while is a good city map

 

I look for long stretches of roads and lots of short curving roads in a map, and really smooth, not bumpy roads.

 

What I look for is a moderate sized town with some backroads and a highway too.

 

I look for detail. Detail and quality. This is why I have every map from Ouerbacker and DoulPepper- they are so good at including custom, detailed objects, and everything is high quality. I also like to have roads that are good for high speeds- take Mammoth Valley, for example.

 

For me, I like a city or a neighborhood that is FPS friendly, as I do not have the best computer.
