everyone tnx for the comments

ill try out the env_fire_trail for the torches (they really look like crap now and also have to make a model for them wich im tool lazy for atm. first want to finish the layout and everyting)

also tnx for your mail philip i never realised you where him

im working on the lighting also and for the outside areas (there will be a few of them such as a main courtyard and some connecting hallways)

im trying out some things with the env_sun to make it look like its the moon instead.

Quote from tundra_cool

Use env_fire_trail on the torches. Just try it.

ehm im looking at the entity list now and i cant seem to find this env_fire_trail so where would i be able to find this?

added the planks over the new water, added bricks in the displacement floor. displacement stil looks pretty crappy way too empty and stuff really needs some plants etc..

c&c pls

(edit)

everyone tnx for the comments. this is some really early work... im trying out some things with scaling the bricks wich ofcourse would make it a lot better but im mainly after finishing the layout right now. its about 80% complete. i will keep on adding variety to the geometry until im happy with it just like the older pictures posted... also when i get models of plants etc... whatever fits the theme in the map it wil brake up the repetition and hopefully make it look a lot nicer.

and like nico said.. players wont get stuck in the walls i allready covert them with nodraw brushes... and havent jet found any problems with them. and as for the purpose thing Stratesiz said, im not trying to create a realistic environment here im really going for that quake/unreal look.

i want it to have the same kind of fast gameplay and you wil have to know the map really wel to get your benefits of that. but i guess we will get to that once its ready to start playtesting. but that will probably take me another month or 2 cause i dont really have much time to work on the map.

hmmm yeah now you mention it... should have made them clip brushes

another small update. added some trees and plants that where created bye shiroko and used in cs_jungle... also replaced the ground texture but thats temporary for now until i find some that fit the theme better. also everything way too dark especially the models but i think they fit in nicely.

C&C...
