De_forlorn WIP

The modular props of the new Nuke are a joy to work with; granted, the work of assembling them is tedious and time-consuming but the results will leave a grin on your face. You can virtually come up with any shape you desire especially with pipes, electrical wiring, rails, curbs and vents

Spent most of last week switching most of the props and textures on Forlorn into the new ones from Nuke (still WIP).

That corridor is looking really good, but I don't think the windows fit. I think you could replace them with some glass with some sort of medical room behind it. It would make the 'First Aid' sign have more sense.

I like the inside more than the outside areas, but anyway the HL vibe runs strongly in this map, very good job /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">
Maybe not use just orange lights?

Curious, how come not work on content for Black Mesa? Or have you given any thought of re-purposing the map for a DM/TDM on there?

The map has a variation of orange-ish lighting (the wall lights) and blue-ish lighting (the fluorescent ceiling lights) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=";)" width="15">

As for Black Mesa, as a matter of fact, I did think about it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":D" width="15">.

2 months ago, around Christmas, I contemplated the idea of stopping this project for CSGO and transfer the map to BM deathmatch; I even went further and seriously thought about expanding this level into a single player experience for Black Mesa. Eventually, I decided to stick to CSGO for this level and work on a completely new level for BM deathmatch from scratch (still in planning process) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">.

Ye after watching the play through of Bravado for Black Mesa on Custom Gamer, it stirred in me the temptation of dig from the grave the SP project I started for HL (as my first foray into level design lol)

"whispering"... Don't tell anyone

The iconic Half-Life siren sound and the G-man cameo have been implemented in the map.

A lot of work has been done to the map over the weekend; here's a new screenshot

The very first time when you encounter the HECU grunts...classic /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

Soon I guess for the playtest /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":D" width="15">; still got some more or less major additions in T spawn and Mid to get out of the way

Maybe you said it sometime at the beginning but it's been so long... are these all custom textures you (or someone) made, are they from Black Mesa? I ask cos it kinda looks a bit crispier than that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

Ciao Flavio /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

Most of the textures are stock CSGO textures from the new Nuke and Train; the rest is custom textures that I created for this map.

No assets from Black Mesa are used in this map (neither textures nor props).

The textures look crispier because Valve introduced some shader and lighting improvements in the last CSGO update as well as the textures themselves being hi-res (in Source's relative view anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":D" width="15">)
