WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Quote from JeanPaul

I am curious. Can I see what the editor for that map looks like?

Oh the memories!

JeanPaul: That's some awesome stuff. I'm jealous that I can't throw that sort of polycount at MP maps due to BSP limits (nothing like dropping in the second base and getting hit with a MAX_MAP_BRUSHSIDES error, then spending a few days systematically destroying what you've created).

MAX_MAP_PLANES is even worse for me

Jean please make that tutorial, I have never really had much luck with doing such stuff in Hammer either.

Yeah, um I need time first

I will make it in due time, dont worry.

Some more stuff from Soul Gems: (Don't mind the fps in those screens, portaling ain't done for the rooms in the area)

ah gotta love the prey assets.

wow that's some really hot stuff. The tube looks marvelous.

Looks a little cramped but the texture art is great.

Looks awesome!

mmm accordion

Love the lighting. Make the rocks look more like rocks, and you map should.. rock.

BTW: never fiddle with your screenshots in the WIPforum..

ya add some bumps on that sand..

Remakes - my specialty as of now

You arent giving the map any "update." The point of remaking a map is to incorporate the new features of the newer engine, while still retaining the same theme as before. You almost must make the map "make sense" as no half life map ever made sense, meaning, you must come up with some sort of idea/theme/facility type.......ect ect ect. Because right as of now, its just a random walkway with rocks on top of it? That doesnt make sense, make it some sort drainage area, or even a mid-desert water treatment plant, but anything but...........nothing.

As of now, you have nothing but a port, give it a makeover with some more updating of both visuals and gameplay, maybe even add a walkway up top for some more Z-axis play. (which is what I plan on doing with Stalkyard.)

So, give your map a theme, search for images on google for references, but most importantly---relate it to a real life area rather than just random shit. THEN post what you have and I garuntee you will like the results.

Thanks for your resposnce.

Well, the theme of the map.. I mean, name is theme! Waste_Disposal. I wont change this setting of the map.

But you`re right. Some changings must be do. The idea of adding some possibilities to act in z-directions is great. Never thought about that.. I think, i will do it

About the rocks: Actually, the screenshots aren`t actual at all. I resized the rock-walls. They`re now much higher. I added some waste-transport-system and some - still not walkable - ways in higher levels.

But I will trie to get them available for the player. ATM there just for optics...

Well, this is my second map (first map = blah, allthough i think it has nice lightning), a remake of cs_office (please don't rape me )

Let me know what you think

Why remake it and make it look exactly the same with the original?

well, the overall look is idd the same(allthough, i think i am gonna kill the snow), it's basicly just a map to learn hammer.

the lay-out of the map is pretty much different, more options for ct's to get in, and a couple of crossfire rooms.
