Well I'm currently going through the process of learning to use UnrealEd. Once I've finished learning how to use it,
I plan to make a DB map. But the one thing I need first is a DB map idea that will be reasonably simple to make since this is gonna be my first map EVER. Any ideas?

WARNING: Don't try for a killer map on your first attempt. You'll find your full of things you want to do, but don't know how or slow the map down too much.
Start with something smaller and fairly simple, perhaps something the size of Smallcube for all those Volley-Whores . It would give them something else to play on!

Above all, have fun making it!

Well that was my aim. That's why I was asking for ideas that would be relatively simple to make.

Kinda trying to keep any good ideas I've got for myself, especially if no-one else seems to thought of them!

Try a small warehouse that's been almost entirely cleaned out for the match. The goals could be doorways into other warehouses with the shutters partially down at the right height for the top of the goal. Some glass windows along one side for the sunlight to fall through. Metal support beams with striplights across the roof. Maybe the odd crate in the corners?

Damn, now I want to do that...

See image for rough (VERY ) sketch of the warehouse.

You could have a whinch near the doors projected from the wall or hanging from above.
Maybe have the doors off center as in DB-SHIP. The doors near one corner with a few crates in the other.
Some posters with calendars, orders, safety info one the walls.

Hope this is useful...

whoa not a bad idea at all...give it a go armagon

Yeah I think I will. It's better than anything I've come up with so far, and I think I might just be able to pull that one off I'm looking at the last couple of video tuturials now, so I'll probably be able to start it sometime this week. I'm just gonna need to check out the extra details on setting up goals and blocking volumes. Cross your fingers for me guys

wow i like that idea Hermit...

warehouse map would definaltly be interesting

edit: since this is your first map you should exparament with sound triggers and make smashing window sounds and make the ball pass through them

im willing to help you through it myself if you want to contact me on something other than the forum

What about a toilet seat map..

by that i dont mean a toilet seat, but like ... a big oval, with a bridge goin along horizontal and vertical (crossing) and goals at either end.. with a pit of shit under it all?


meh, what do i know.. i cant even make a cube in UED

hmm, i got an idea for a map, but im gonna do it. anyone seen the 70's rollerball? not the new shit one. im gonna do a rollerball arena

That was one of my first ideas.
I couldn't decide where to put the goals and the ball spawn so that the whole arena would get used.

I just plan old suck at ued, if anyone knows any good tutorials i would really thank you. I waste too much time doing nothing and i want to learn to map.
