The Terrain Mapping Contest

[Spectra]

Trying to make one! I doubt it will work!

Used Nem's Terrain tool to make the terrain!

The skybox looks great ...but why are the stars visible through the black part of the huge red planet.

[Spectra]

Now looks better??

[Swanky]

Much better.
Your terrain still needs to be aligned, given you are already ready to do that.

[Spectra]

Honestly...
That terrain is not aligned at all! Perhaps, I was going to ask for help!!

iirc, One method was like this:

1. Rotate the whole terrain by 90 degrees.
2. Use Align to floor method.
3. Rotate the surfaces again 90 degrees.

Now, the problem I faced is that:
1. Terrain looks aligned, but some textures look stretched out. Even rotating them did not help!
2. I sometimes get motion sickness and often get confused!


Even Epic maps doesn't have good terrain alignment (see CTF-Kosov).

if you have used the good method (like rotate+align-2-floor), then try substitute the texture (use replace texture option) but DO NOT USE EPIC ROCK TEXTURES.
Seriously, that Epic rock you are showing is BAD. It's almost 2016... there is no reason to ever use that shitty rock texture any more. Go get better rock textures like
hourances etc, at least 512x512. The results will be much better
Good luck

Hey, there's still people who like that particular style of those textures.

[Higor]

Low res textures ftw...

Best texture combination possible are UT + Gothic, so damn seamless.
I extracted every single Gothic texture when I was doing this old port (you saw these already...)

Some can be found on this map, feel free to check it out (and take some)

Other samples:
Check the mountain at the bottom, gothic ground, UT rock side.


Gothic grass and lower part of house, UT the rest of the house and stone wall.

The hut using Gothic textures

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this picture.

[SzGergo]

Oh, wish i had some time to participate in this. But there are other deadlines for me in January to meet...

[papercoffee]

finally... I'm sooo sorry.
Till 10th January is my map also final

Spoiler

...I had some... well ...private problems, which had a tiny bit more importance than UT.

If someone can again help making this batch work in UT ...I'm still a poop-noob regarding editor imports of masked textures.

[memsys]

Alright, here is one 8bit masking ready texture!

In the .zip there is a UT99org-TMC-Masked.png and UT99org-TMC-Import.pcx

As for my map I still have nothing, I tried to remake the terrain with less detail it helped to an extent but the map still ended up being beyond broken.

(at least by making papers texture import ready I contribute something to this contest )

[Red_Fist]

Nice job on the logo, you captured the terrain part pretty good.

[Whitey]

I may have 1 CTF map done by the 10th
suck at bot pathing though.

[UnrealGGecko]

Looks really great, paper. Well worth the wait


Alright, I'll PM the current entries that the batch is ready and that they should add it to their maps somewhere.

Also, to make sure everyone will have their batches included and maps ready, I'll make the final deadline instead of Jan 10th changed to Jan 15th. Hope that is alright with everyone (don't worry, this will be the final deadline, no more adjustments).
