LavaGiant Symmetrical?

[iloveut99]

Hi, do you think it would be hard to edit LavaGiant to be Symmetrical?

I only want the bases like this one:


(with different team colors)

If it is not much work, there is any chance of some nice guy can do it for me, or help me do it?

Thanks.

I dont think it would be too hard to do. i have a go at it if you want, i have some free time at momment
Not promessing anythink tho.

[iloveut99]

Yes, I want all symmetrical. Or if there are not the same items in which side of base they must remain at the center of the map (example: big health face).

Looks pretty good! It seemed all symmetrical. Isn't it?

There are still some bugs:

ok i will carry work on that map i thoght i i gor rid of that bug it seems i did not get it

Note: it wasnt completed i was checking if i was making the basic features of the map to the way you want it, i didnt put it in the last post sorry for the mixup.

No problem, thank you very much for your time. =)

Just thinking on this so I have a question for the mappers: Is it possible to select a set of BSP brushes and "mirror" them? Rotation won't do the job, so is there a way to invert the bushes so they would line up perfectly no matter the spot you selected to halve the map?

[SzGergo]

there is:
rightclick -> transform -> mirror about X (or Y or Z)

(((btw i think it is the best when only the basic layout and the main geometry affecting the routs, paths and visibility is symmetrical, otherwise the two section can be distinguished easily)))

before transform permanently

Thank you guys, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I used to chat back and forth quite a bit with Cedric 'Innox' Florentino, the author of CTF-Face or CTF Facing Worlds, back in the early days of UT about mapping techniques and other things too.
There weren't very many experienced mappers back then at the beginning of UT, so I went right to the sources.
This "mirroring" is what he used for CTF-Face for example also, and Innox was the one who told me how he did it.
He made just one (1) side of the map first, just the basic geometry I believe, then mirrored it to make the other side changing textures to make it different looking and then adding decorations, etc.
So, I also used the mirroring in a few maps of my own, such as CTF-LuXor and CTF-Moribund, among others, that I authored years ago.
Works good!

Sup any progress?

sorry dude still trying to get rid of that bug not very good at fixing bugs but i think it just were i added the lava brushes. i missed a few days of mapping due to personal things( ) i got nothing today to do part for some revison so i will spend a few hours to day on that map sorry for the delay.

would you like some new features teleporters stuff like that.

Edit:1 Update link added
here is a Beta version of the map there is a few little things im thinking of doing but for now i think i got all the bugs (had to redo some brushes they wouldnt stay visible
