If you want to create maps with the intention of getting them into the
|
|
offical AssaultCube package, then you're best to read the following...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AssaultCube only adds high quality maps to their release. No exceptions. So
|
|
we have added this guide to make it somewhat easier for you, the map editor,
|
|
to know what we are looking out for... <br clear="none" />
|
|
<b>Note:</b> If you're looking for a place where your map will most likely be
|
|
seen by a AssaultCube developer, try <a href="http://www.quadropolis.us/">Quadropolis</a>,
|
|
where some devs will often take a look to see what new user content has been created recently.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Firstly...</h3>
|
|
<p>Please, read <a href="mapediting4.html">this page</a>, which entails a guide and tips on
|
|
making a good map, the majority of the details on that apply to our specifications!</p>
|
|
<h2>What we're looking for...</h2>
|
|
<p>This list is by no means exact, and there are exceptions to every rule, but this will
|
|
at least give you an idea on what we're looking out for...
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
AssaultCube maps should look a bit grim/dusky.
|
|
At the moment the texture set is by no means perfect, so choosing the right texture for the
|
|
job might take some time.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The theme should be in an industrial/realistic setting... (however, there is often an exception
|
|
to this rule, see the current list of official maps for an idea of what we're looking for in
|
|
terms of theme).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
No dark corners/places for campers.
|
|
<ul><li>This is subject to discussion. You should provide some sniper spots, but players must
|
|
have a chance to fight back by means of tactics. Don't build "sniper forts".</li></ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
There must be more than one way to rush from the one place to the other, like (as example) CS maps.
|
|
Check the official maps that are already included in the distribution, your map should
|
|
have a layout somewhat simillar to this.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Use of own textures and mapmodels:<ul><li>
|
|
Feel free to include your own custom textures/mapmodels/skymaps, but be aware that they might
|
|
need to be discussed with the Lead Artist (currently: makkE).</li><li>Any custom stuff you want to
|
|
use must either be totally free-to-use or created by yourself. You MUST include the original
|
|
authors copyright notes, and have the authors permission to use it if required.</li><li>
|
|
The particular licensing of content created by yourself is your own choice.</li><li>
|
|
Desired average WQD levels are: 2000-3000 (leaves enough room for models).</li><li>
|
|
Your fullbright, basic map (undetailed, blank rooms), should by no means
|
|
exceed 1000 WQD (ideally around 100-800).</li><li>
|
|
ABSOLUTE maximum WQD levels are: 5000 (Special cases might be subject to discussion.
|
|
The reason for this WQD limit is that, anymore and the maps will lag on older machines).</li></ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Avoid strange gimmicks, such as walk-through doors, as "strange" gimmicks will defiently not be accepted.
|
|
Don't expect maps that aren't created for current game modes to be included.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Keep map themes available to a "general" audience. Many different people from different cultures and
|
|
countries, of different ages play AssaultCube, keep this in mind.
|
|
