HL2 DM : ART OF WAR (MY FIRST DEADMATCH ROOM!)

Do you know what?

Seriusly, is this a funmap?

Art of war sounds kinda cool. but why do you name your map like that?

How it looks?

Well, it looks like quake 1.

I hopes people gonna play this map, it looks like it's quake version.

But whatever, nice work.

looks abit plain, and open.

and don't use bold.

first screen looked kinda cool, went downhill from there tho.

You should practise more before posting images. 3 weeks is just not enough. There isn't much to comment on at the moment.

What the hell? How old are you? Have you actually been paying attention in your classes?

You´re using round corners & shapes nicely. But you know what, that arcitechture looks weird and the map needs a lot more detail in the corridors and hallways. Making a big bunch or round thingys just doesn´t cut it anymore . And also better lighting.

It looks like a quake 1 map..........................

the first screenshot is nice. i like the originality. hopefully you can spread that quality throughout the whole map. needs more work.

Looks pretty interesting.

It'd be a lot better if you used less base textures throughout and split up

some sections with more appropriate wall textures and trim.

I am 17 years old and i speak dutch.

writing in english issent the thing were i am best at

sorry mate, greetz

im 15 and i speak/write english liek a Pwner .. Movies did that for me though , @ english class I always do nothing and do nothing btw; I'm dutch...

@ map : euuuhhh , I don't like VHE standing in the steam games list... EVERYONE is mapping now .. and why ? not becuz they have the urge to do so but because it's so *ing simple now and it doesnt take any effort... although the rounded doors with the trims look kewl ...

Wow, you're younger and speak better English. Thats just what we all wanted to know, thanks for that. And what gives you the right to decide whether he is really eager to learn how to map, or is just being swept up in the simplicity of it? Just because the SDK is available to download from the steam games list doesn't make it any easier anyway, as the tools are pretty much the same.

you've both got good points. people probably will try it simply out of curiosity and because it's so easy, but that will probably also get those few guys out there who will eventually make fantastic maps that otherwise wouldn't have.

likewise, simply because he may or may not be one of those people does not imply that he is or is not one of those people. you just don't know untill you ask him. it's simple as that. and your age has very little to do with learning a language other than how easy it is. The older you get the harderit is to learn a language. consider yourself privelaged, not higher, than those other people who havn't spent as much time learning english.

Concerning the map: Dragonfly, i think it's a good start, particularly since this is your first map. my first map sure didn't look that good :wink: but i'm sure you can do better. Try to make the rest of the map the same level of detail as the first picture. Put objects in the map to break up the monotony of it. Make it feel more organic and cluttered. Right now it's far too open. Look at other people's maps and try to imitate, not duplicate, what they have done.

is typing every sentence on a new line a euro thing? anyway the map looks good for a first try, roundy and stuff

man you europeans must do drugs till the cows come home

Considering that you didn't only start on the map 3 weeks ago but also on mapping in general it's looking quite good, keep it up

Do you know what?

I found many text problems you've written.

Try to learn some more english, and deal with that.

Because right here, right now, we talk english. I didn't say that because i'm bad,

I wanna pay your attention and try to focus on what you are writing next time.
