Dublin City Centre map

banquo

I suggested this a while ago and it generated loads of interest, but it's a real bitch to do. I've got a fair bit of the northside done, but i'll need some help from fellow mappers.
I'm going for a 1916 risig theme.
what i need most is:
1. statues, from any modellers out there, especielly Parnell.
2. prefabs of trinity, any of the churches, GPO, and anywhere hard I haven't thought of yet. oh, and a two-person gunboat.
3. textures. many inners city grey-brick textures
4. and if possible, a map and any photos of inner city dublin.
Thanx, and any help at all is welcome, cause this is one hell of a project. send anything you can spare to Robbb_mm@hotmail.com

You can use the wads for the GPO in caen. It looks pritty similar. There are loads of links to wad sites i found ill post the links but im on a diferant OS.

Jim

You might want to say which game its for so plp understand, DoD hl mod.

That is all....

DRakE

tbh, if you get all those things then you wont need to do anything yourselfbut fit the prefabs together...

maybe have a go at trying someting yourself? It'll be easier to help once we see that somework has been done... screenshots and whatnot

Jim

if ur makin the 1916 rising, u wont need parnell cause he wasnt built yet, and ull need nelsons pillar etc..... look at OLD pictures of dub as opposed to new ones.:p

RopeDrink

Hmmm - I remember this being discussed before...

Cant remember who started the thread (I think it was DBC) but people came in with layouts and maps of the actual city center, photos and the likes...

Seeing as you've asked for statues, I really doubt you're making this for HL seeing as it would cause slight hiccups having models used as statues in HL.

I can't be of much help, seeing as I've rarely been to Dublin, but I do have some dirty / grey brick type wads at home and I can give you a list of a few to look out for...

Might have it by tommorow if that helps... Im guessing wadfather would be a relatively ok place to look for Wads also...

DRakE

you can find lots of texture sites linked in the Sticky thread at the top of this board.

banquo

thanx, it's all a help. all i got done today is the back-ally to the right of the GPO. not henry st, the other side..

Kali

thats called princes lane iirc

banquo

does anyone know what the hell was different about dublin 100 years ago?? apart from horses and ann summers and obvious things like that. i got a bi book of "Pictures of Dublin" but there's loads of crap to be filled in between the important buildings. and how far back and and up th quays should i go? i ain't doin anymo work than i has to.

banquo

go to IOL SERVER POLL thread for screenshots (P3)

Riamfada

Dont want to rock the boat or anything but a map of Stephens green park would be cool for a game of CS

*SIGH*
here ya go

just lash that in and off you go!! it's important to remember that these were taken about a week ago and have been updated i.e windows and other luxuries.

RopeDrink

May I ask what program you're currently using to map!?

KdjaCL

yes what are using and for which game.
I am going to do that with Mohradiant and GTKradiaent when it supports Mohaa (1.3 will).
As Mohaa has nearly all the right textures for it.
kdja

DRakE

The program is Quark, QUake ARmy Knife

banquo

it's better the worldcraft in that it's not as restrictive in space and it's easier to do more basic things - it's literally click and draw.
p.s I checked out the site drake, it's brill and dead handy, my only suggestion is make the wads easier to download and a simpler layout.
Apart from that, really useful, thanx.

Everything. cos the street had to be rebuilt after 1916. The Bank of Ireland dates from 1917 and I think Clerys from 1923 or so.

banquo

Ok groovy. I know i have what was Carlisle st (is now O'connell st) done. heres that latest screenshots for everyone to enjoy. i'll admit i havent done a tap of work since the last ones, but some nice new additions are a near perfect replice of O'Connell bridge and other crap. i'm trying to concentrat on making the north quays a better place for the Irish to cnipe. What does anyone think of having the Proclamation of the Irish Republic as the level description?? it's a gorgoues piece of writing and i think i'd be real good to stick in there.

banquo

and another...

banquo

and if anyone wants to tell me how to post more than one attachment at the same time they're most welcome...

banquo

please complete the message field...

Jim

nice work so far bob, keep it up and we can shhow those british bastards [finally the annoying brit pack might come in handy]

im nearly finished those misc. buildings for u to chuck up and down the street.

DRakE

textures look misaligned in the first pic...but not a bad start

manic1

there where trams on the streets back then so you might want to but some tracks on the road and there was no central devide
on the roads just statues

banquo

"and there was no central devide
on the roads just statues"

your half-right. there was a divide on o'connell bridge, but its true there were just statues in the streets and i've taken care of that. well, except for the statues. and i fixed the texture alighment and some (one) of the buildings have really cool places to snipe. it's actually turning out pretty more realistic than i'd hoped. oh,a nd the shots don't ehow you everything...:)

Did I mention I was English!?
The last time there was discussion of the old style Irish Mod, the thread degraded into bull**** about how "what the other bloke said wasn't really racist blah blah blah" - "English are blah blah"

If history repeats itself I'll be waiting to neutralize this problem with an obese spanner....

Continue.

Jim

sorry, no offense meant, just a bit of ye olde craic u understand.:D

banquo

don't worry, i've had some very nationalist suggestions but i'm trying to keep the politics to a minimum.

RopeDrink

Don't worry, im not a humourless golem that doesn't see the funny side - Just try to keep it at a minimum, because a perfectly good thread spiralled into political debates because of this in the past - Something that should never happen on a Game Editing Board...

banquo

i like the idea of using the brit pack though, maybe i'm gettin into it too much. i should really put more the 5 minutes a day into this.

ThrAx

hey we should make a map of Eyre Square, eh Drake?

DRakE

so you're back then thrax?

you missed a great lan

dunno if the eyre square level would be do-able... r_speeds wise

manic1

some irish flags to go with your map
follow the readme instructions

Winters

Great work. Its hard to see much with all that fog though
We will have to make sure is put on all the PCs in .dNC

Jim

i wouldnt b expectin tat map anythime soon, rob is good but very lazy, im helpin him out but its gonna take a little longer than expected

Jimmy:p

RopeDrink

Hmmm - Eyre Square map - This, too, has been discussed before.
It'd be funny trying to create it, and if we did screw the r_speeds - It'd be better off as a piece of Art Work rather than a CS / HL / TFC map...

Jimmy:p

Thats because your pc will not run anything else, your running short on coal

Jim

Ai, tis true, i put in a request to the u.n court of basic human rights for a new pc, but they turned me down, bloody democrates:(

Winters

Humm. You should ask the government for a grant. It really should be put in a muesum along with my old 386.
Its a danger to peoples health. It produces more carbon dioxide then the old 1970's cars!!!! ..

==== Back to subject =====

Are you gonna put trams onto the level? it would give something that would provide you with a good bit of cover.

banquo

I should get a bloody grant!!
and cheers to Manic1 for the Irish flags, they rule and really add to the map. i'll have a shot of the one flying from the roof of the GPO up in a few days, have to DO it first...
and Jim post those generic buildings for all to enjoy.
On a sad and final note, due to the grand scale of our fine city and the pitiful building space one's map editor allows, it is my sad duty to announce that this map will be a purely Northside affair, with the south quays being the only buildings to take part in this architechtural feast.
see u all friday.
And, if you're vry good, i just MIGHT do Eyre square, t'would most certainly be cool.....

Winters

Humm. You could use the south docks only as a spawn ground... If you had the allies or krauts spawning behind some truck or building on the south docks and cross the bridge.... i wanna cross the liffey

manic1

pictures
check that site out its got some great o'connol street pics just after 1916 note all the battle damage

banquo

you just keep on given, don't ya manic.

banquo

and winters, i'm having enough trouble with complex luxuries like windows, so any feats of engineering like BLOODY TRAMS are more than a bit out of the question.

ThrAx

Hey Drake im still in Singapore on ADSL no less.

Drake make some Galway place that we'll all recognise and put a supermacs in it in case we get hungry at GL4.

If i was any fecking good i would. The best at maps ive done is a room... it was the default room put there by quark

Ill keep you uptodate with research and ill find trams and **** through the web for you. Tell me what you need and ill try and find it for you. I also give moral support

I found trains here: http://www.sonic.net/%7Erain/half-life.html dont know if there are any trams there but ill keep searching!

ThrAx

I'm sure he knows how to make a tram in WC

RopeDrink

Im being rather serious here...
I've seen it on the Counter-Strike Mapping forums on www.counter-strike.net and a few other places before...
People were making maps as artwork as opposed to playable levels... Some of it was utter eye candy, considering they used WorldCraft mainly...

Also, I must comment on de_chateau... It may be small, but it's bloody gorgeous!

DRakE

all your trams are belong to mcbain
