Historic Battlegrounds Mappack/Modthing

Here is where I'll post pictures of my latest and greatest maps, which are based off of historic and awesome places.

Trim Castle-90% complete (testing needed at some point...)
View of the Yellow Tower from the keep

Spoiler:

Defenses set up at the Sheep's Gate

Spoiler:

View from besieging team's spawn

Spoiler:

The main gate in it's restored glory!

Spoiler:

Satellite view of the map. As you can see, half of the walls had to be made up due to the real ones being destroyed...

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

View of attacker spawn from the curtain walls (yes my head got bloody while I was playing by myself...don't ask)

Spoiler:

Senlac Hill, the Battle of Hastings-90% complete, testing is all that's needed
Norman-side view of the hill

Spoiler:

Saxon-side view of the hill

Spoiler:

Overall view

Spoiler:

There's less to show here since it is simply a hill. Think of it like a random plains match. This maps pretty much only practical for formation fighting though haha.

I am once again impressed withyour work Gawain good job

Well your map certainly beats my but for the fun of it here is mine
BEWARE FOR I CALL IT:
The unamed castle

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

yeah dont worry i will find a name eventualy, but if you want you can give me ideas for names by Private messsaging
and just so you all know im not quite finished.

edit:
here is my updated version of my map

Spoiler:

Nice map, make sure you add some stuff to the outsides though (trees etc...) as well as paint the textures on the ground. Maybe earth for the inside of the castle, or village cobblestone?

yeah all in do time

and maybe some buildings inside the castle that you can get on top of.

Next map is done! And it's my most ambitious one yet!
I bring you...

Spoiler:

More screens of various locations below...

Spoiler:

Alright! New map is almost done, just some decorating left!
AND the new map is....


Some screenshots below...

Spoiler:

wow these are some seriously awesome maps.
very good work guys!
how do you actually make them???

It's actually pretty easy. In fact, all of these maps were done solely by me

I won't go into the advanced stuff, but basically, when you start up Mount and Blade (you know, when you can select your modules and stuff?) there is an option called "configure". Go to that, and check the boxes for "Start Windowed" and "Enable Edit Mode". Then, once you are in a map, hit Control+E to enter the map editor! From there on it's too complicated to explain in one post. I learned by myself through trial and error, but there are LOADS of guides on the TW forums.

wow great looking maps guys cant wait to play on them
How long do you think it will take before you guys are done

Here is the jump bug...you can see Sir Gowe jumping off too

link, if that doesn't load

Thanks Madoc, I'm working on it now =)

ok since im having trouble on making the siege towers / ladders to work on my map i decided to
give up
so if gawain wants he can take over my map if its worthy (you will have to tell me how i can pass it over in a pm)
i will just work on training maps and regular battle matches since they do not require siege equipement AND THOSE STUPID ENTRY POINTS

Haha don't worry, I personally try to avoid using the moveable ladders. They only work correctly about 30% of the time. Siege towers I can do, but not ladders, they just don't like me. If you want to send it to me, there are 2 things i need. First, find the .sco you edited. then, make a .txt containing the terrain code. You can find the terrain code by opening scenes.txt in the module you were running, and searching for that scene. So if you were editing scn_multi_scene_1, i need the .sco for that scene and the terrain code entry for that scene found in scenes.txt.

ok well here is my new map i will be posting pics as it comme's along:
the maps called GK Trainning:
my map will consist of a dueling place, a jousting arena, an archery place and a map for small battles / capture the flag would also fit in VERY well

here is my favorite part of the map and i call it the
"DUEL OF DEATH"

Spoiler:

and here i gave the epic name of "joust"

Spoiler:

and you cant have a jousting arena without spectators

Spoiler:

Here is the
"archer arena"

Spoiler:

and here is an airial view

Spoiler:

AND NOW THE BIG UPDATE:

here is a tight space fighting place

Spoiler:

this is the archery / infantry traning ground

Spoiler:

here are the staircases leading to ...

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

THE "BATTLEFIELD"

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

and here is a view of the intire map:

Spoiler:

oups i almost forgot

Spoiler:

Hey those are freaking sweet! I love the duel place haha. Send me the .sco and the .txt when you're done, i'll add it to my custom maps server WHICH NOW SHOWS THE RIGHT NAMES!!! HUZZAH!! I have reached the same page as 22nd now!

SWEET!!!!! i cant wait to go there !!!!!!
Additions to the ranch thing possibly maybe?
Dueling rink/flat platform
Something high up to play around on
a podium for gowe to stand on when we are in training (heh)
a place for honor duels (like for lordship and such) and places where the whole clan can watch around it (if they want)
a tricky obstacle course filled with narrow spaces and jumps over pits of death (idk)
a place to practice archer skills...(idk maybe a target at the end of a fenced in alley?) like a bowling alley, only u can go closer/farther away?
a flat plain ground to practice on (or go crazy with cav)
a place to go afk!/gowes lounge

thats just random stuff that i would want if i could make a map.

Lost for word on archer arena...Can't wait to train (since I suck lol) if you pull this off, I'll kiss you!

@drako Yeah good idea! Archer Targets ^^

I love it we should so do that

Very nice edit (+pics)! and yeah, its my dream clan map. a place for everything

WOW.... just WOW....
that map will help the whole clan get better will done

OMG I love the big update! Can't wait for it!

Very nicely done, Wolflo! Make sure you have spawns and everything right then send it to me!

You know, this reminds me a bit of our old training ground haha. it's like a throwback but improved. If you're ready, send it to me tomorrow so i can put it on our custom server when we need to train. I can put a password too to keep it all GK.

ok am thinking of adding to my map a 2nd floor but if i am to do that i need to know what i could do that im missing.
So if you have an idea just pm me an idea so we dont flood the forums of ideas
here is what i was thinking: an arena for cavalry...thats it i guess
