Wahhh abstract map *UPDATE*

[Optics]

Here is the second update for my abstract map (hopefully if anyone else starts on one we could create the css joe.to map pack 2010?)

Wasteland room


Futuristic pathway/alien infestation


The chair of self un-awareness


Hotel corridor


Other end to corridor but upside down.


De_prol33tmap0rz hammer editor room


Gallery of illusions and secrets paths.


Checkers room


Infested hallways/paths


Lightmap room


From above so far...


Firstly i'd like to ask is the name "wahhh" already taken? I googled it and didn't find any nipper related maps which have that name so just to be on the safe side.

Secondly I'm having problems with sounds looping, they only play once for one round...they have no flags checked so they should loop? I made them in Goldwave so that when I open the file they still loop there but not in hammer.

Thirdly does this inspire anyone else to make a css abstract map? I am really dedicated to getting it done and it would be really cool for the joe.to mappers to comeback for maybe one last map pack for css?

Post your ideas below also...

sounds have to be triggered at the start of every round. easiest way to do it is to cover one team's spawn with a trigger_once

The first ever "abstract" map of mine was called "whaaa" and was named after a catchphrase (sort of?) of Moe's on the Simpsons.

ok thanks, was starting to get on my nerves every time I tested the map. aha jeeze that must of been what 7-8 years ago? so is it okay for me to use "wahhh"?

I wanted to carry on the whole "map with many h's" thing, as those are my favourite maps.

glad to see that's the only thing people are talking about here...the name.
it's not like I've just spent weeks/month making the map itself or anything don't worry...lol

ok here's some feedback

It looks like stuff we've done before. Like you followed the "abstract map formula" or something. It looks good though, you've made some cool rooms.

Another problem is a pretty common thing for new mappers, you have everything sectioned off like Room>doorway>room>doorway etc You wanna blend them together, like add overlap and elevation changes.

The biggest room also seems to be the least interesting one. The white and blue grid paper

Yeah first bit is true but how can I not? does this mean I would have to make my own theme/type of maps? after all it is damn hard to think of ideas that haven't already been done as my inspiration comes mainly from ones already created.

I know what you mean, I thought about that just after I made the bomb site, it's all one ground surface (nearly)

I get ya, but that was the theme of the room, lightmap grid with cubes,prisms spinning around.

Looks awesome!
I like the hotel corridor idea. That once you enter the other side of the room the hallway is turned upside down.
Also, something about the chair room really intrigues me.
What you have so far looks really well done.

I started an abstract map about a week or so ago.
I don't have much completed so far, but this really makes me want to
start working on it again.

Thanks!, yeah I thought that bit was pretty smart too and yeah the chair im not sure if there are going to be any secrets that link to it but yeah.
yeah I ditched this map 2 months back and iv noticed that you stay away from it for about a week and you feel fresh to work on it again.
do updates like this I wanna se someone elses work in progress

I like the chair room and the checkers room but yeah, what Nipper said. It seems to really follow the abstract map formula well but it's really square, square, square, square. It could use different shapes of room, tunnels and sublevels, passageways that go over a room, etc.

okay I get ya, I do need different elevations of rooms and not just square. thanks I will get to work right away, should see another update soon.
