Sure, you can get the EX Map Development Kit from our downloads page.  We can always use more maps.

I did have a concept sketch of a plan of a small city map that involved tyranids storming a breach in the city wall and fighting there way into the city centre.

it was an area capture, with a series of squares and important building to be fought over. I will try to dig the image out tonight and post it here.

i make a IG bunker prefab
i want to make it destroyble and flashing red when its get damage - like in some strtegis
also make ther IG spawns , which turns off when bunker down

[Typheron]

Save a copy of it so you have an origional, then copy it and start cutting it up so both halves of the cut remain. Then group the bit thats to be distroyed and tie it to a func_breakable.

add some red lights, starting them turned off and set them to turn on when the func_breakable takes damage.

do the same with some smoke emitters/flame emitters for effect.

when it gets damaged it should break and generally look cool.

spawning IG NPC is harder, chrome may know how if its not been diabled

[SIR_halyavshik]

im not a noob mapper
i said that i want to make it , so im really going to and know how

[Typheron]

Fair enough, appologies for the assumption but i get a lot of poeple saying similar things and not knowing the first thing about mapping, so i err on the safe side.

Ok that sketch i was talking about:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l320/typheron/RS2-Exterminus/WIP/MapLayout.jpg

its a big scan and photoshopped to make it a little clearer (comes in at 3mb's, sorry about that). The idea was a breach in a city wall that the nids were comign thorugh, space marines were trying to push them back and re-secure the breach while nids were tryign to push forwards and capture/distroy a important civic structure (town hall, IG barracks, that kind of thing). in the middle of this there's a small city square with a forward outpost in it thats to be captured (perfect for those spawning IG's to hold).

use it, dont use, do whatever you want to it, but i hope its of use.

nice idea
i will make it but little in my way

[Typheron]

groovy, it will probably be better for your own interpertation, ive got a bad habit of designing maps that work as architecture more than as gameplay.

stupid university trainning.

If you need any assistance (although you seam totally set) let us know.

Hmm, not sure where Hammer gets it's log file path from (appears to be failing because it's trying to make a log file in what is probably a non-existent path).  I suggest checking the MapDir setting in your GameConfig.txt

PS

Nice chunky walls

You might want to try adding some prop_statics with rebar models sticking out of the broken ends.
