Here's the link to the level I'm working on for A Path Beyond. I wouldn't refuse considering a version for Renegade, however.

http://www.bluehellproductions.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24175

If you can't get to that link, I'll just post up the screenshots here. They are in chronological order, sorted from the time I began work on it (Saturday, the 21st) to today.

Thanks - I appreciate it a lot.

Here's the civilian building that I'll be duplicating to make the mining town, it's pretty much finished at this point. I will probably add props to it, thinking of adding a bed, a desk, and some assorted things like electric lamps and whatnot. I don't want to add too much, it will make it difficult to move around inside of them.

Here's my latest progress. I've been sick for a while so I was taking it a bit easier today than I was the other two days. I've mostly finished the underground area's geometry. I will be adding support beams and other mining tools. Also, notice the Glacier-esque stalagmites on the cliffs above ground, plenty of places to hide and pop out to attack. I've included the scale to make it easier for people to figure out how large this is.

Still waiting on someone to get me a Mammoth Tank chassis in Max form so I can make sure that there is enough maneuvering space.

Because I don't have a suitable version of 3DSM to import it with.

Renx w3d importer will work in 3ds max 8 or 9 got it working in both. I'm using 3dsmax 8 with the renx pack. What version are you using the newest version 2012 or something.

Not bad, not bad at all.
I'd add some rocks here and there for some detail.

A renegade version would be pretty neat.

I'd like to see if someone can get me the 3DSM versions of all of the Renegade buildings. I'd like to add Tiberium Silos, Repair Facilities, and Construction Yards. Maybe even Communication Centers. I'd also like to get hold of all of the two-floor buildings so I can light map the Nod interiors.

Some maps don't translate well from APB <---> Renegade because of the size, vehicles and other gameplay aspects that have to be considered when making a map for each game. I'd be interested to see how it would play in each game...

I would love it if you was more on board with MP-Gaming, where we could assist you in the promotion of the map in APB, run it on the official server, mention it on the MOTD, and possibly offer assistance with some aspects of the map. Many of the staff at BHP are moderators at MP-Gaming, and half the admins are BHP staff.

It looks fantastic environmentally and I'm sure it will be a fan favourite.

I honestly designed it so that it would be usable in Renegade, APB, and UDK. It's really not that big, so it should play better than the current maps in APB due to its smaller size; it should conversely give Renegade players a little bit of breathing room for a change.

I'm not sure what you mean by "on board with MP-gaming". How would I go about doing that?

If you was more of an active member in MP-Gaming I'm sure it would lead to a natural progression. Most of the BHP APB staff are there and half the admins are staff at BHP. A couple of us are TT devs too. It seems like a good place to launch your map and any ideas you have. We do consult with BHP over changes we make, but ultimately the only server that players use is ours, and the decision lies with us.

Well, at this point, I want to push this level farther than any other I've done. I would like to add all of the missing buildings to this one. I've been redeveloping the Advanced Communications Center so that it can be light mapped.

Here's the GDI Construction Yard in W3D Viewer with light maps enabled.

http://www.3dholmes.com/images/APB/mgcon.jpg

Here is the Advanced Communications Center after I've cleaned up the original WS mesh, repainted it, and added some extra detailing (skylight, rear door, cleaned and properly scaled UVs with shattering windows) to the model. The windows also break independently, each pane breaks instead of the entire window.

I plan on releasing these structures to the public so they can be used outside of Fjord. I figure everyone would like access to improved interiors that have actual light maps. I need to light map the Shrine of Nod in addition to the Advanced Communication Center. I also need to do the Nod Communication Center and Nod Construction Yard.

I think this level might benefit from enabling flying units. I'd like to add Helipads to it and rework the way Orcas/Apaches work by making them need to reload at the Helipad instead of being able to constantly fly around and attack units. However, they would also get much more improved armor so that n00b cannons wouldn't be able to hurt them anymore.

Hmm, do you have a counter to the reworked air units planned? I've been putting a small amount of time each week into my beginner map, those light mapped building would be useful, although it will only have Weapons Factory, Airstrip and both sides' Refinery.

Well, I'd like to ideally go back and make all missiles homing. In addition, Nod would get SAM Sites that keep the Orcas at bay.

Hmm, hooming only seems to work around 1/3rd of the time with the engine, I experience this in both Renegade and APB. I vaguely recall that APB Beta's Rocket Soldiers didn't have hooming but they had some ridiculous area of effect that would damage air units even when the missile didn't hit the air unit being shot at. Although I'm not sure about that, it's been a long time since I played APB before I started playing it again after Gamma got released.

Well, reborn, I'm glad you're excited to see this. I'll probably need some help initializing everything since I haven't worked in LevelEdit for five years. Setting up reloading Helipads, Repair Facilities that repair (or allow you to repair for credits) without breaking the game's C4 mines ala Glacier_Flying, and Construction Yard base repairs along with tying beacon purchases to the Shrine of Nod/ACC will require some technical expertise that I've forgotten over the years, and I would like to have some assistance to make it possible for this level.
