Hey everybody, long time player here but new to the forums. I really only joined because for the first time I decided to have a go at making a map and so Ive spent all day making this open cut style mining map that I think is super fun to just drive around and crash on. Great cliffs and drop offs every where for crashing and some pretty decent driving roads. And well anyway, I thought I might join and show you guys what Ive made so far because I haven't seen one before and if enough people seem interested I would share it On a side note, I have no experience making maps and this is massively a work in progress still and any help would be appreciated as Ive probably gone about things the wrong way (Ive simply edited the Gridmap from scratch so I'm not sure how to save it as a new map or anything). So anyway this is my screenshot
The map is making progress guys! But some help is needed to make it look more full and real with some backgrounds/backdrops. Any help on that would be awesome.
Its almost ready! Once a bit more has been done, I'll release a WIP Beta version of the map for you guys to critique. Hopefully it won't be too much longer but I can only work so fast making this on a friends laptop whenever I get the chance. I had no idea going into this that it would be such a tedious task when it comes to hand crafting a somewhat "realistic" map, but watching the progress turn into something fun to drive around is really cool. Hope you guys like the screenshots of the progress. Let me know what you think!
Can't. Fking. Wait. The rally downhills and Pikes Peak like uphills in savage hillclimb monsters. I am getting mildly impatient. But take your time. Make it the best you can.
There's a few secret places that will be found all around that are perfect for "realistic" reason to jump into the mine (a tipped over container conviently next to the mine, a mound of "construction dirt"... that kind of thing). Im glad people are looking forward to it! Im working on it as much as I can and Ive run into a few bumps here and there as its my first map but it's getting there Will keep updating the progress.
