RostokMcSpoons Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Interesting! I don't know if there are 'map designers for hire', but I'm pretty sure you could get a decent crowd-opinion from the residents of this forum... My contribution: a slightly bigger picture of the same area... and some questions The tunnel - is it lit inside? how wide is it? Where's the exit? It actually looks like quite a big playing area, but with not much cover across the top of the tunnel? That'd be the area I'd expect you need to concentrate use of pallets, tyres etc. It'd be good to see some close-up shots from ground level to judge changes in elevation, vegetation etc

Albiscuit Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Not sure if serious. However I am a professional airsoft map designer. Give me a truck of plywood 478 pallets, a couple of diggers. 468325cubic meters of concrete, 786 workers to hand dig trenches and a packet of peanuts, Salted dry roast ONLY. And cover my hourly fee and we have a deal EvilMonkee 1

Tunnel has one front entrance that leads 2 ways. One leads to the other side and the other is dead end but it could be penetrated to the other side. One the left hand side you have small passages. Ill update tomorrow with ground footage and video material to show the full potential of the area. P.s. exuse my English, not my native and thanks

Any idea is welcome Awesome potential, I'd be inclined to say get some experienced players/mates down for a private test game, essentially an R&D brainstorming session to what would work with what's currently in situ, & where you could utilise the materials you have to the best advantage. Is this within the UK ?, if so what county or district ?, only asking out of personal interest. EDIT I can see from Rogerborgs kindly provided map its not UK, they're all on the wrong side of the road lol

Badgerlicious Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Could you outline the boundaries of the site? that'd make it easier to plan the layout
Tommikka Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 5 looks ideal for a kill house: Clear out the trees, build a grid frame system of ‘rooms’, put up boards as the walls. Ideally leave an open doorway in every wall ( so each ‘room’ has entrances in every direction ) Then close off some the doorways either by semi permanently screwing them in place, or hang them on hooks so they can be rearranged If possible build some overhead walkways/observation platforms - that way you can have staff watching overhead to run the game and oversee for safety, plus have a couple on the ground to run in for an emergency OSB wood panels should work for a kill house wall system (cut some windows etc for variation) Check pallets for condition - you don’t want customers getting large splinters from rough pallets, or a part broken panel snapping Also check their nails - you don’t want a customer to get embedded onto a rusty 6” nail. Where practical remove loose nails & replace with screws Avoid using pallets as temporary floors, boots will go through and ankles will get trapped Consider covering pallets with hessian sheeting / sacks as obstacles Check tyres for condition. If old tyres are worn unevenly then the underlining wire will be exposed Rogerborg, Tackle and EDcase 3
Tommikka Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 For any obstacle / bunker and game layout design make sure that it is both attackable & defendable Its a common flaw to design defences to be defended. For example if you make a fort building then leave big wide open doorways on at least two sides and the back of towers exposed. Tactical Pith Helmet, Tackle, EDcase and 1 other 4

Pseudotectonic Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I went ahead and made a blank site plan for you or anyone to sketch on: https://imgur.com/AGDc3GR And here is my first sketch: https://imgur.com/aiecw3y (Images are A3 sized at 150 DPI) My initial thought is it is very close to the road and a train track (?) so I fenced off game zone to ~30 meters away from the track to limit stray BBs. This could be a wire fence with some tarp covering it, for example. Correct me if wrong but looking at Google map and Bing map and Yandex maps, it seems the site is abandoned and the buildings are in a state of decay, and some have obviously collapsed. I wonder if the remaining structures are actually safe to be around. (I'd imagine your insurance might want to know.) I also don't know the extent of your site but looking at openstreetmap I am guessing it is not much beyond where I drew the fence. The water feature to the north is probably too dangerous, might be connected to the water treatment plant nearby, and not good for gameplay anyway so I excluded them. Safe zone: The house near the entrance has toilets and electricity? Game zone: I put up some OSB walls to divide up the site into pockets of spaces to make it more interesting. Then props can be put on pallets and moved around to populate the site, these can also be randomized between games with a folklift. Also see modules like these www.arena-design.fr/modules/ Also you might want to decide on a theme/lore which can help you choose the kind of decorations or colour themes e.g. sci-fi or historic or contemporary...

Both indoor and out-door, airlocks, 1/10 gravity will really screw with peoples hops, oxygen deprivation. You could have semi finals run on the ship on the way there.
