Level idee

[Mr. Q]

I' don't - and i'm not skilled enough- have the time to make it myself but a good level could be an chemical factory (like Bayer, Basf etc..)
These surroundings contains lots of simple shapes like cylinders and other shapes. They have lots of roads with hardly anything on it. Almost every attribute can be used many times so it would make modelling a bit easyer and the surrounding is good for an scary experience.

how about a school?

I was going to make this when they announced the editor, but when I found that you couldn't make levels with it I didn't bother.

[Grinder1989]

why wouldn't they let u make levels in the editor? It seems pointless if you can't make new levels.

Grinder

In the Editor you can arrange the items and the other stuff - but you can't build geometry. Therefore you need 3d-software like Maya, 3dsMax, Bender, GX-Radiant...

[Grinder1989]

so why could they but maya into the editor too?

Grinder

[Varus77]

..because it's not freeware > maya: 3000-7000$ and 3dsMax too.
The other both are freeware.
The editor is one thing and a 3d-programm one total other programm

$7000 to make some shapes on a game? unbelievable. I could go to my school and get a 3-D modeling program for free.

LoL...

Maya and 3dsMax are professional 3d-programms. Mostly used to make stuff for TV or Hollywood or fantastic 3d-arts. Of course you can make levels with it. But this is not the normal intention of these programms.

Othersides it is a little bit more than some shapes... Ok - to make a simple MP-map isn't the great problem but the bar is much higher for a SP-map.

If you want then you can have a look on my SP-map

Great level but i'm curious to how u made that?

Grinder

[Varus77]

;) :)

I'm working on this map since 9 weeks and with a 3d-programm. Backwards in the forum you can see the last pics...the update in the paincorner comes tomorrow (Dark said...)

[Grinder1989]

i see well when do u think the level would be done and what kind of monsters will be in it?

Grinder

[Varus77]

I think in 4-6 weeks and it is in the concept a non-linear level design to run for items... But you can do what you want on your own ways - there are NO walls as invisible limits. I hope i can realise this. There will be many different monsters, of course PK well known monsters. There isn't the possibility to implement own creatures. But a little bit "tuning" on the existing monsters is possible ;)

I see. I think the zombies from town level would be perfect.

Grinder

[Varus77]

Yes... :) ...there is a section for these monsters.
Of course not all things will be perfect because it is a one-man-show and not PCF. And the editor is the other problem...eg. no changes or saves for PartikelFX and some other things are not working.
But therefore will be some "real" secrets - not like the normal mention of PK...

...and the save button will be your best friend...LoL
