This looks like a very promising map. I'm always curious where people get their inspiration from....whether it be another game, or something in real life.
Like most forgers I start out with a few basic Ideas, for this map those happened to be Make a map with pipes in the ceiling like in Splinter Cell Make use of the upper corner of Foundry Have a well hidden area Those are the basic ideas I went into foundry trying to achieve when I made this map.
This map looks really good. The only thing is, why did you call it "The Pipes" if the pipes are hidden?
When I make a map I see it in my head as a real map, when I thought of what I wanted this map to be like I thought of an industrial facility with pipes coming out of the ceiling, so I named it "The Pipes". You will always see the pipes, being able to use them well via the hidden area isn't all that matters. The Pipes play a huge role in the map, along with being the only way of getting the single power weapon in the map. The pipes are also the most original element of my map, so I felt it should be named after it. However I never knew it'd be so hard to find the hidden area, but oh well.
Hehe, yes, getting to the pipes isn't the best part, it's where it could send you. I guess I forgot to tell you. And there's also yet another hidden area IN the pipes that helps you get to the power weapon, but I'm not telling you where that is. Thanks, I tried really hard to make sure they all had their own feel and look.
As much as I would love too, My xbl isn't really working at the moment and my que list is full, this is one I'll need to sit out on but great job anyway. Five days is a lot. Maybe we can forge together some day although I usually prefer casual maps.
I don't know why you're not getting a lot of downloads, this looks like a very neat and well thought out map. By the way, how do you fuse objects with the map geometry?
Joined FH to figure that out huh? http://www.forgehub.com/home/index.php?topic=2060.60 This guide I made should help you with complex stuff like fusing walls. It has a video of me fusing the wall into the side of foundry when I was making The Pipes. If you want more info on other items you can fuse go to the first post after the jump, it shows you alot of stuff, just not how to do it with walls like mine does.
Lol, that's the very, exact purpose of misleading screenshots, they make you download/buy the thing. Anyways, what does "FUMGCC" stand for? And, I was really expecting pipes, like a whole thing like Rat Race from Halo 1 with open containers. But whatever, I'm sure this is awesome, too.
Do you normally go into peoples threads and accuse them of misleading others? The pictures posted are of each and every room in the map, there is no trickery, it's a small map. I would have tons of open containers on this map, however you can not spawn them in foundry. There are "Pipes" however, this is the entrance to them. (Pipes are made out of Open Boxes) The entrance to The Pipes is hidden, however you can see the "Pipes" coming out of the walls around the map. There are many combinations of places and pipes they can lead you. Please keep in mind that this thread is for me to promote my map, not for me to answer your stupid questions, google FUMGCC or something.
