Survivors in a town abandoned since the hordes of the infected arrived must find safety, but with routes blocked and the undead closing in, will they find a way out?






It's pretty rough at the moment, but I do try. Sorry for the image quality being so terrible!
Notes: This map was started for the mod Zombie Master, but I've recently pulled it out of retirement to continue on NMRiH.

Thanks for your time.

===============================================

Update 1 (Nov 6, 2011)

I should probably take smaller images so Photobucket doesn't just resize them anyway.
Playing around with fog, it's too light now.

Changed a bit in this one to make it look more like a fire. Maybe an objective here is to blow up the burning wood to get past, or dig out the sand to let the water extinguish the flames.


The spawn room. Custom scribbling on the walls, nothing too special.

Interior.

In this one, I haven't properly lit up the burning debris, a fault on my part. I was thinking that one of the possible objectives is to clear the burning debris to continue down the waterway.

None of the images work for me. Might wanna re-check them?

[Raneman]

Yeah, upload them to imgur.

[Dissident]

Yeah, sorry about that. Looks like I'll have to use Photobucket/another one for now, unfortunately it resized most of them because they were too big.

Amazing O_O

[themanofwar]

Looks like a nice start, any idea what the objectives or gamemode will be?

[Dissident]

It's definitely going to be objective based, though I need to decide on what objectives I want to use from the ones I've thought of.

You should have king zora block the waterway, you need to go over and activate him with E, and while he butt scoots over, it would attract a horde of zombies which you need to fend off before he gets out of the way.

what have you done to walter

[Dissident]

If it pleases you, I can swap him for the faceless HL2 corpse at any time. Also, an update in the first post.

[vip08]

Please don't kill Walter >_< - Also looking good so far solid design.

Please, nothing hl2 x.x its up to you, but it kills all the mood for me when hl2 props are in a map.

IMO, the brushwork is too rough and

Fix up brushwork and eradicate the HL2 stuff, got it.

[The Maddog]

Looking great, however is that white fog in the 1st screenshot ?

Whatever that white stuff is it needs to be removed.

there.
happy?

[Dissident]

Just finished with the bare skeleton of the next and probably last sewer/canal segment of the map. I'll put more detail in it later.

I'm most pleased with my burning building. I've never had the idea to make one before and it seems to have turned out well.


Excuse the mass of pictures mostly of the same area and of any darker than usual images from uploading.



Images at the top of the first post!

Looking good, nice to see some decent mappers creating maps for nmrih. in zps times there were rarely any good visually custom good looking maps.

Edited by vip08, 11 November 2011 - 04:19 PM.

[Pelk]

Oh my... This looks really good! I feel like maybe you could fill the sewer and more places with more props or trash and leave decals a bit more. Besides that it just needs good objectives.

[Dissident]

Final base layout for the sewer before extra stuff is added.
