Outdoor maps=where in the actual game?

Trying to figure out where Outdoor Maps 01 and 02 are in the actual game. One of them is the square platform, with an outer area, and an "inner pyramid." The other is a long building with lengthy catwalks. I keep thinking the latter if somewhere in Booms, but I honestly don't know. These may just be things that appear in missions. In any case, I want to use one of them, and thought I'd at least take a stab at placing it in an actualy location. In the end, I might just wedge it wherever I want it to be.

I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

Do you mean the industrial ones? 

 

They are unique maps that were originally used in the portal missions. I think Citadel was the platform one, and the other one is used with the Eagle/Falcon/hawk or something guy who sells enhancements in PI. It's his one mission. I think it may also be in a portal corp mission.

 

I used them in All That Glitters 2.3 to represent Terra Volta locations, though at the time I searched Terra Volta to see if they were really there, and they are not. They could possibly be in Crey's Folly, but I don't think they are - I think I looked for them but it was ages ago. As AE maps they don't have the toxic smog nor the murky waters.

 

On the other hand the "ruined city" map is actually the upper corner of Boomtown. (Used that in boom Times in Boomtown.)

 

Also the "flooded ruin" I had heard is the upper levels of Boomtown flooded but never bothered to really check. It is reskinned/used for the Praetorian "Last Bastion" but otherwise shows up in a few portal corp missions I think. Makes me wish they would use the spawn points from the original and give us the reskinned version too.

 

The king's-row-esque ones are unique too, as are the steel-canyon-esque ones.

 

The Council Outdoor map uses the style of the Riki War zone, so I placed it there but outside the war walls in my ATG mission set there - but it too was an originally a portal map. (Started as a 5th Column map until they were removed from the game for awhile and for a short period of time, it lingered with the old 5th column art - would be nice to have both versions 🙂 )
