Author Topic: [LF HOST] Welcome to Wake Island (large imgs)  (Read 4035 times)


A work in progress

Iwo Jima was a vital island in World War II for the Japanese and the United States.
In this map we are in an alternate reality where the US and the Japanese are once again fighting over this island.

You play as either the United States Marines or the Imperial Japanese Navy. As the Marines your goal is to take the 5 capture points.
And as the Japanese you must defend the island at all costs until your opponent runs out of reinforcements.

This is based off of the classic Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 maps, the gameplay is also very similar.

The map is very large, so using vehicles is a very strategic option. Both sides have jeeps with turrets, as well as transport helicopters.
And for offense they all have F18s, Cobras, and M1 tanks.
I am working with Strato and Ghost to get a good boat mod for use with this map.

I am currently deciding if it should be a class-based combat system, or if players should be able to choose their own weapons, any input? Comment.

What needs to be done:
-Buildings need to be built on all of the red squares on the map
-AA guns
-A system that will let you spawn on a location that your team has captured.
-Aircraft Carrier (this is a big project, I have tried making aircraft carriers before but they are pretty difficult.
-I need to test the multiplayer, so looking for a host for that
-Will need people to give opinions on what weapons would be balanced and realistic (note I will not be using any 1 hit kill weapons besides knives)

-An artillery system (I am currently figuring out how this would be used, I have a few ideas  :wink:

More pictures, again, this is a WIP.
These images are really large, so I am thumbnailing them
Image Shack seems to be going really slowly...let me know if you have any major problems














As you can see in the last two pictures, I need to add some detail such as mounds of dirt for cover, and grass etc.

Let me know what you think, leave a comment!
Want to host? Leave a comment, a PM, or IRC me.

Thanks for reading this  :D

I just realized I need trees... a lot of tress...

One of the islands on the last picture looks like a gigantic snake...

Couldn't have said it any better.

Looks very empty so far.
However seeing its progress will be cool.

I'll look forward to this. Anyway, doesn't look great now how it is, really empty. You should use some more colors at all.

Dont forget 1943..its going to be awesome


And it look pretty nice :3 (your build)

BUMP:

Looking for someone who wants to host this... please contact me via IRC or just post here.

Thanks,

Jay.

Heya Jay

Nice build, when do you think you'll be done with it?
EDIT: How many bricks (cause that could decide if i could host for you)

-A system that will let you spawn on a location that your team has captured.
I'm pretty sure NiXiLL had made some checkpoint events that might be useful for this.

Yeah I have a spawn room for each base that has a mini-map, and if your team has captured a certain point, then the minimap will allow you to click on that point and spawn there. Its pretty cool.

And it is around 12k bricks.

i could host, but 12k bricks might be a little much for my PC.

you should also use a class-based system,to make it more challenging and fun. kinda like BF 1942.

i aslo have AA guns and some WWII-ish vehicles, but you'll have to talk to Heedicalking about getting/using them, since he made them.

so if you want you can send me the save and i can try hosting for you.

Another Bump:

Looking for a host for tonight!

Xbox live is down for 24 hours, and I was playing Battlefield Bad Company, so now I want to finish the map and see how it is as a team deathmatch or conquest game.

Please IRC me, or if you don't have rtb you can post here or PM me.

Addons:
Slate Sea (or another sea map with the same water height)
TDM mod with conquest

Zone Bricks
Blackhawk
F18
M1 tank
Cobra Helicopter

Weapons:
Just a good assortment of good modern weapons.

Thanks, and sorry for the bump.
