The thread predates there BEING a maps&mods section, and you can't move threads.

Epic map. XP Though this thread should really be in the Maps & Mods section - I totally missed the thread until somebody forwarded me to here.

Running it on a server now and it seems to work out pretty wel, the new position of building is better as well since this prevents spawn sniping :)

Good map, fun map :)

Version 4 is here.

Changelog:

Terrain is flush with the water again.
Rearranged buildings and cacti.
Roads.
A runway in the center of the map.
UFOs have landed near the runway. I tried a saucer crash first, but decided on something different that was easier to make in slab6...

Fucking amazing map.

Creesch: I saw that. I screwed up with the water. V3 is here with a quick fix("quick" as in "I slaved away for an hour fighting voxed"). It's not pretty - there are a ton of overhangs still - but you won't be stuck anymore, at least. As a bonus, the file is also much smaller because of this fix!

Nice map did host it a bit (Server is still up btw) one question though, is the water supposed to be under the entire terrain? got some complaints from people having difficulties getting out :)

If it's already built, AFAIK it's hard to do more than hack away at it with the current voxed. The numeric marker and shift+<x> tools (e, w, etc.) are your best bet for eliminating a large area. You can also try home/end and delete for more precise changes. But it's also hard to paint in voxed so any changes may look ugly. For all these reasons I prefer to start fresh and reimport vxl prefabs each time.

JukelProNabb: The landscape is a slab6 model. First I filled a 256x256 area using the slice editor. Then I carved out the canyon and added some hills, caves, etc. Finally I imported into voxed and added the terrain details.

In the future I am planning to speed terrain creation by working on a low-res model first(64 or 128) and then upsizing it to add the details.

Noire: I might add area 51 elements to a version 3. I want to break from the desert settings and try a tundra one though.

Looks nice, but since you made all these desert maps, why not make an area 51 map?

This is a map set in the midst of a rocky desert. The map's centerpiece is a large canyon with a river. It is a mostly-symmetric map, with some liberties taken in the placement of buildings and vegetation.

Changelog:

-----------------
Version 2

Renamed map from "triplefox_desert" to "mesa."
Adjusted color palette, it should look roughly like the American Southwest now.
Adjusted a few bits of terrain
Rotated the map 90 degrees(by accident, actually)
Added buildings
Added giant-sized cacti - I suspect these will dwarf the players.
