I was making some ramps for the construction yards and I wanted some opinions on how they look. Here's some pics.

I'm still thinking about whether on not to release them. I'll probably decide it with a coin toss. Laughing

I've never seen a point to giving the Construction Yard ramps like the other buildings have... It's too large for flying maps in most cases.

I agree

But they look great!, keep up the good work and model something even better Wink

The map layout I have in mind will probably require the ramps, so I made them.

Well, there are a lot of places to hide beacons up there, but are there any less on the Weapons Factory roof? I think not...

who knows.

In terms of hiding beacons, both teams have a very simalar structure (um I thinks) so both teams have the same advantage. but having 2 floors to the conyard dosn't help also in locating beacons.

I wouldn't say you actually remodeled it... Just removed a floor.

I advise you to make a new preset called mgcon_int_n or something similar... Using mgcon_int will be a problem because the Construction Yards I use in all of my maps are modified with a ramp instead of an elevator headed downward. No, it isn't SGT. May's fucked up ramp, but a new one I cut into the floor and made for it.

If you want to use those interiors, go for it... You can grab all the necessary files from my Basin map, just credit me for the ramp. That thing took quite a while to install. Smile

Well, it's a little more then just removing a floor. Not much more though. Very Happy I had to move the PTs and MCT to the upper floor and I moved some of the construction materials up to the upper floor as well. Lining up the MCT with its aggregates was a pain.

I named the interrior mgcon_int_ns to avoid the problem you mentioned. When I was originally was working on it, I called it mgcon_int, and Level Edit kept using your interrior. Renegade must like you better. Laughing

If I decide to go back to two floors, I'll go with your interrior. My concern with the two floors is difficulty for players to C4 the MCT. Only testing will figure out which way is better. Of course, with the time I take to make a map, it'll be at least a month before I get that far...

Testing? Hardly... The Pits has been running Basin for months now.

Go play it on WOL... It's about to rotate in again.

No one complains about the Construction Yards having two floors. They're actually not that difficult to destroy since they're so large... You can hide on the bottom floor too, as you wait for your charges of C4 to detonate.

The reason LevelEdit and Renegade pull in the W3D of my interior is because it exists in a mix file already, so it's established, and Renegade will grab it there first...

I suggest you use the multi-floored interior. You'll need to go into the parts folder of the Nod CY and take out the vis for it. Group that together, align it with the exterior of the CY (Like you're putting the interior of it inside of Max) then save the CY and vis stuff as another Max file so that you have them ready for another map. The reason I say this is that I had a lot of difficulty with the vis proxy, so I removed it... Placed the vis sectors manually inside of Max and Basin had no problems then.

I'm sure it works fine in Basin, I've played it plenty of times without any problem. I have a concern about the map I'm planning. It may or may not work well with the two floored conyard so I want to test it with a single floor conyard. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but as I was planning the layout for a map I started thinking about it.

Trust me, if it works in one map, it'll work in another. It's only one building; your entire base isn't made of two floored structures.

It'll be fine. I guarantee it.
