Update: 4/11/13[[WIP]] Unnamed City Map - It will be public!!!

[Arkayy]

   I have begun work on a more realistic city map. I will post updates on the map's progress and details with downloading when I am nearly done.

Estimated Completion Date Goal: 04/30/2013



Update: 04/11/2013

• Added more streets, lighting, particles and minor details.
• Junkyard, School, Houses and Portals nearly done and set.
• Started working on hotel additional map.

 One thing i'm a bit worried about is that the map REALLY lags in mapmaker. I've tested it a few times in game and I guess it isn't that bad, but i still can't make the map as big as I wanted. I will most likely make a forest area out of the rest of the map.



Update: 03/07/2013

• I already have a heightmap, basic layout, and gathered most of the meshes I needed. I was even eager enough to start one of the main streets.

Looking good! You have a nice layout there! Most city maps don't really bother with roads, or sidewalks, OR Lampposts and proper placement of buildings for that matter! Can't wait to check it out when it's done :3 (I really like the lamp post mesh btw, did you make that yourself?)

Very Nice!
It's looking real good so far.

Let me give you some words of advice;

Save and back up this map. The last time I made a city map, I lost it completely for no fault of my own. Weeks of work lost. I could of saved it, but I didn't.
If you have made any objects, back up your myObjects folder if you have room as well as the map Folder, hight maps and Masks.

Other than that- i can see no fault with this. I wish my city map looked this awesome!

You are a map making GOD!

I'm loving the small details, like the bushes and the roads. <3
I'll try to download this when it's finished.

Will you be able to go into most of the buildngs? Also great job on the map looks really reaistic and has alot of detail on it. Good luck on finishing the map i cant wait!

[Arkayy]

Thanks everyone. ill try to update it again with my progress in a few days.

@Genesis9 Yea, that bothered me too. Thats why I wanted to make my different. I did indeed make the lamp posts with object maker and a simple texture to go with it. I did the same with a few other items too you will see in the next update.

@Goldchocobo The same exact thing happened to me, multiple times actually. I have ally my fh files backed up on a usb so no worries.

@Taylor Sadly, no. most of the bigger buildings cant be walked into. The meshes i found are like that and plus if they did, the map would probably lag a lost more :/ I was thinking about making some buildings with ports to other maps that could be the 'inside', but im not sure yet.

[sparticles]

Ah okay, will there be houses you can go into? And good luck again cant wait!.

[Arkayy]

Of course! You can't have a city without somewhere for people to live.
