Madness (Our House) [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

those are some scary pics, perfect for halloween time

i totally like this idea, but i dont think cairns can do full 3D like urs DiM.

but i do agree on the better font and more homestyle textures for each part of the houe including maybe a gray texture for the garage maybe even a oil spil for details?

full 3d is unfortunately not possible right now bacause without a 3d environment for the maps it's useless do do something 3d just to take a screenshot and play in 2d. i merely posted that image as a source of inspiration for cairnswk. if he can manage a pseudo 3d it would be great.

DiM, your 3D model comes from Plan3D i think doesn't it.
Anyways, i went in there, and downloaded that and will see if it is possible to get something up in that style,,,but this program is very tedious and slow on my computer.
I may still have to try working something in Fireworks with the 3D psuedo dimension to it like I did in Pearl.
I'll see what i can develop that is interesting.

Madness.

No, it's Sparta.

I am not liking this myself, but I can't objectively come up with why. So have fun.

If you're house is like Sparta, Coleman, then this is a perfect example of why this house idea might work. I did it because it respresent the average and no-so-average house where there are battles between most families and this is a prefect "battle ground". The link from Dad's terts around the back of the house to Siss's area is reality where Dad often has the 'curtailments' for little sister. The front door link with Bud having 'open access' is also very real, as boys oftern get a better deal from Dad with many things.
I think everyone would be able to relate very much to this idea, and it is a perfect opportunity for a small map from me. Goodness know, the other two in my development stage are not going to be small 30 tert maps. As i said at the outset, a little bit of fun.
Sorry though that you don't like.

[Coleman]

Sorry though that you don't like.

I am too, maybe when the picture has been worked on a few times.

yes i have to say it is not awe-inspiring, but it's a start and got everyone talking, and voting.

[Shelter417]

I like this idea; the map's nice and simple.

Version 1

[unriggable]

Okay some comments:

Best be to split up rear path.
Make windows attack one-way outside.
Get rid of those slid doors.
Include yards.

[cairnswk]

Okay some comments:

Can do this.

Make windows attack one-way outside.

why, what are your reasons for this?

Get rid of those slid doors.

Does this really matter. please explain.

Include yards.

Don't really want to. It's adding extra terts, and one more on the garden path might not matter, but several more and the object of doing this "small" map then gets defeated.

[AndyDufresne]

Interesting idea...I've thought for a while a house map might work...we'll see how the idea develops.

Maybe you should add a 'Doghouse', as you know someone always ends up there...and may a doggie door too.

yeah you can make the rear yard shorter and have doghouse as -1 or something

[cairnswk]

Version 2 Update

Below is some small changes:
1. Some different floor coversing applied.
2. Dad's area changed to gray
3. Additions of the 2nd front and rear paths, and the dog house
4. Names of neighbours changed to four CC members.
5. Font changed to legibility

i'm going for luch today with 3 buddies that are architects I will bounce if off them to see if there are any other packages systems out there that are free and wil meet your needs.

Champion...rebelman....champion...thank you for your offer...most generous of you!

[onbekende]

lets start shall we, will do bonusses later (already worked them out but later is better)

Common Area's:
Look great to me, but what do you think we use that Entrance door as a 1 way border? only attackable inwards?
rest is great so far, but what can give us in a wooden/laminate surface?

Mum & Dad's:
This looks more then fine, but rearrange the "Master Bedroom" name and army shade

Siss's:
Looks great, thou following notes:
- Siss's Sweet name tag and shade above eachother like other area's (Kitchen for excample)
- Switch name and army shade of "Siss's Access", let the army shade be at the bottum

Bud's:
Can we call this "Bro's" , you silly aussie!
- Move the "Bud's Romp" acess inbetween the army shade and name of "Bud's Access" (middle of that hallway)

Mum's:
stereotyp ftw!
the floor covers make the names hard to read, perhaps a more stoney surface?

Dad's:
only those 3 things right? (Office, Garage and Garden Shed)
looks good

Paths:
Rear path 1 runs upto the garden shed no?
Again a discussion with the 2 doors on the paths, perhaps make front path 1 => Bud's Access 1 way and so do Rear path 2 => Siss's Access?
Give the dog house a wooden coloring, it isn't part of any territorie so other color wouldn't mak a difference?

Those hobo's:
Who's Enya?
the usual center that, allighn that stuff

[Fireside Poet]

cairnswrk ... I really like the work on the other maps and I know that this won't mean a hill of beans to you, but I'll never play this map. Everytime I see it I think of that horrid, gut-retching, vomit-inducing song that I absolutely loathe and have seething hatred for.

Thank you for this fine opportunity to express my personal opinion ... now carry on.

[Night Strike]

I think that for the neighbors, you should name yourself as one and that should also be where you place your signature. It would be unique.

[cairnswk]

Version3 Update

Most of this has to do with onbekende's requests, but he didn't get all his own way....LOL

lets start shall we, will do bonusses later (already worked them out but later is better)

Common Area's:

One-way front door attackable inwards only is OK, laminated floors are OK.

Mum & Dad's:
This looks more then fine, but rearrange the "Master Bedroom" name and army shade

Done

Siss's:
Looks great, thou following notes:
- Siss's Sweet name tag and shade above eachother like other area's (Kitchen for excample)
- Switch name and army shade of "Siss's Access", let the army shade be at the bottum

Done -> bottum -> bottom

Bud's:
Can we call this "Bro's" , you silly aussie!
- Move the "Bud's Romp" acess inbetween the army shade and name of "Bud's Access" (middle of that hallway)

You silly Belgian! I don't like Bro as a name. While I recognise is it the current venacular for "mate" or friend or brother, I prefer Bud, being a good male name and something a Dad might "nickname" his son. Bud's access done.

Mum's:
stereotyp ftw!
the floor covers make the names hard to read, perhaps a more stoney surface?

Dad's:
Don't know what you mean by "stereotyp ftw!"
Floor coverings changed.

only those 3 things right? (Office, Garage and Garden Shed)
looks good

Yes only three things.

Paths:
Rear path 1 runs upto the garden shed no?
Again a discussion with the 2 doors on the paths, perhaps make front path 1 => Bud's Access 1 way and so do Rear path 2 => Siss's Access?
Give the dog house a wooden coloring, it isn't part of any territorie so other color wouldn't mak a difference?

Not in favour of too many one ways, one for the front door is OK.
Dog House has wooden covering.
New condition for dog in legend.

Those hobo's:
Who's Enya?
the usual center that, allighn that stuff

Hobo's eh? They'd be impressed I'm sure!
Enya is a member here who occasionally pops and makes comment, she was very instrumental in assisting with the development of CCC; and I thought a female name in here might be a good mix -> can't have the neighbourhood totally domainted by males.

Fireside Poet....sorry you don't lilke the song....i think it's a GAS.
Shouldn't stop you from playing the map though.

[cairnswk]

Thanks for the suggestion....i'm still considering that....for now though i'll just flutter around the garden and watch the proceedings of the MADNESS.

[DiM]

i'm at work so a quick comment.

map looks much better. it seems more clean. i like it.
neighbor names. hmm. i'd say replace them with non CC names. as much as i'd like to have my name as a terit on a map i think it might cause some unnecesary dispute as to why those names where chosen. but if nobody has any objection then let them stay

and one more thing. the images i posted are made in google sketchup 6. free easy to use and you can find various freeware things for it.

Thanks DiM....appreciate your comment about your name being there...i'll see what the reaction is and if no objections, then i'll still consider it later.
I'll take a look at Sketchup 6 later in the week....off to work soon, thanks for the lead.

[DiM]

also the 4 neighbor squares make them like little houses

and make me at the window with a telescope spying on the neighbors

[Scigatt]

I really like this idea, and I'm kinda bummed out that there aren't really any "small-scale" maps out there. Why not have an "Ant Attack" kitchen and/or backyard map, or do battle in a CPU, or something like that.

[BeakerWMA]

Cairns: maybe have a Tournament and the winner gets his name on your map?
