FINAL RELEASE : DM_URBANES (v2)

Wow, just......wow! This is such an improvement on what you originally brought to the site. The first shot looks like really funky, and made me think of the old HL1 mod NeoTokyo. The others don't quite have the wow factor of that area but its still so much better than the original version. There are still parts that look messy or confused (the texture selection in the second last shot is....a tad wierd IMO), but its come on such a long way that all I can say is "good job"

the style confuses me but it looks pretty good actually

does look NIce

huge improvement from the original screens gj

First shot reminded me of bloodlines

Some parts of this are whacky, but its nice to see non city17

Looks all pretty cool but it would look even better if the colors you put in combined well (especially the first screenshot)

For a first map, just great. And I am so happy to see a map that isn't based on the city 17 look.

Love the height variation of the ceilings, particularly in that first screen. Good use of different coloured lights.

This map is different to other maps, but okay. It's cool.

I can´t believe this is the same map you posted a while ago. It has really improved visually. Looks hawt

I tried it and it´s...How do I say it

Slow as hell.

FPS was terrible. You should really optimize this map since it´s no fun playing a map with 30 fps all the time

Yeah, wow! Very well made map!

Yep, it could look a little like NeoTokyo, but it needs to be even more messy to be a NT map:)

My thoughts when I saw the first show was "is this Source or UT2k4?" and then secondly "damn good use of HL2 content":)

Yes, they should look like this but not play like this. JAL is right, you have some problems with VIS in this map. I ran around and got pretty bad fps in few spots. And its not my machine that makes it run so crap (AMD64 3500+, Radeon X800 Pro, 1gb ram).

In this shots theres nothing fancy going on but the fps was so bad, budgetpanel showed that world rendering is at max. You might want to use more detail brushes to clean up those splitting brushes. Also use some better vis blocking etc.

Anyway, the map looks good and with some optimization it could be better

yep, all the valve made dm maps run 80-150fps on my machine.

This one at worst spots 30fps. I guess that proves my cpu is all right

too many themes for my likings personaly

very nice map indeed (im the hybrid dr@gonfly is refering to in one of his previous posts in this topic) and i didnt want to say this but most of the geometry in this map has been created by me (sorry dude) when he just started learning hammer i gave him all of my work in progress shit and stuff i created and he has put a lot of pieces together and well i must say i was damn suprised when i saw my crappy old shit evolve into this! what he has learned in just a few months took me ages to learn.

i will help him to further optimize the map (eventhough i also dont know that much about it)

anyway, just one thing i want to say to all those mappers around here that are just starting to learn how to map: LEARN HOW TO USE GEOMETRY IN MORE WAYS THAN JUST SIMPLE BLOCKS! (sorry for the caps) and try not to stick to the half-life2 feel too much i really hate all those canals imitations (eventough some are pretty good)

much respect to dr@gonfly!
