WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

The only thing that really jumps out at me is the tiled water outside... increase the scale or make your own water

A scale of 1 might do the trick.

This is what I was gonna comment on. Make your in-play area water extend out farther, and scale the size of the skybox water texture.

You might want to scale that water texture in the playable area too.

A singleplayer map I am working on for Half-life 2.

The map is set in an abandon oil refinery/warehouse type environment. I was originally going to make this map take place at the base of a volcano, but I don't know how you would do that at night .

Much of the inspiration for this map comes from Gears of War (particularly the third act - Downpour) and the Ravenholm chapter of Half-life 2.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

first shot: the trees on the left are too bright and the metal thing with supporters on the right looks weird

sixth shot: is the wood plank flying?; the lights are kinda overdone

i really like the whole thing, and i´m looking forward to play it

Just seen you've won first place in the ZP:S contest the0rthopaedicsurgeon, nice work. The map idea makes a nice change from the usual place people usually associate with zombie survival locations.

really like the atmosphere your level breathes, Aaron! like freak said, there is room for small impovements, but youve got the overall feel - wich is most important imo. let us know when you finnished it!

Ah, thanks for the feedback guys as for that model, I need to fix that one, for some reason its fullbright. And I don't remember the light being thaaat bright, I'll get right onto it Freak. Not sure what the deal is with that wooden plank, I think is must have been airborne at the time of taking this screenshot .

One of my next maps

warby i hope you like it if you or everyone else have crits, let me know.

very nice job. only thing that bothers me is the intensity of the lamps in the last screenshot. there seems to be a strong sunlight already and then those small lamps totally overexpose it?

The speakers prop seems out of place, and the grass sprites will be cooler with a darker color imo. But overall it looks very good ^_-

Video showing the double damage spawn effect:

What game is that for?

For some reason it really reminds me of Perfect Dark & Goldeneye

I like the "glow in the dark" lime green trim. It gives a memorable element to the map. Is it really illuminating or am I just fooled by the strong saturation? If it is illuminating, isn't there a node in the UE3 material editor which allows you to change an attribute debending on how much light hits it? Then you could make it matte-yellow in the sun and glow in the dark in... the dark! o_O That would be awesome! Not sure there is such a node though, but there is one for everything else, so why not!

that looks like another great map of slainchild

UT3.

Not sure what you mean Nurb, but yeah they do glow a bit.

That looks totally like a Warsow level.

Awesome

I thought that was Source when I saw it!
