Title: Mapping for Slope
Post by: nonSENSE on September 25, 2011, 03:14:42 PM
Here are a few guidelines and pointers if you want to make a map for Slope. These are purely hints about the design of your map - for all technical advice related to the Hammer editor, contact one of our mappers.

How long should the map be?

Short to medium. The perfect length for a Slope map is slope_grassy.
Fact: Increasing the length of the slope does not make the map any harder; it only produces more lag. Since the falling props are only removed at the bottom of the slope, a long map will have a lot more entities existing at the same time.
That is not what we want!

How do I make the map more difficult then?

Be creative! Anything from
are welcome! You are of course not limited to elements on this list. Surprise us!

Any other things I should consider?
Your slope map needs to have a slope (obviously), but you can still experiment. Add floating platforms and moats maybe. Add trigger hurts or other traps.

You can test the map by using our skeleton gamemode: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1in6ig1byfiw83

Should help most people wanting to create a slope map. I like it much better by seeing the actual VMF file instead of getting tutorials about it. Hopefully people will start creating slope maps. Sadly I'm not going to do it as I personally SUCK at making it look good etc.

After seeing the interest in mapping and how much support the admins are willing to give, ill either have a go at mapping once I have finished my current job, or encourage someone else to map for the server :)

About the props spawning from the top of the hill, do I need to add any entities for it, or is that all LUA?
