Figured since ive got a job mapping now, id sign up here for criticism and help and maybe even an idea or two. Ive been mapping for the HL franchise for about 5-6 years now, and been doing pretty well. Some recent work by me is de_crookcounty and cs_noir, and ive got an upcoming map which should be out in a week or two at most. Ive heard you guys are professional here, so ill try and keep up ![]()

Screens dont seem to be working.. Whats a good image host? Image shack, XS.TO and Putfile are really shitty right now.
-
They show up for me. Looks pretty good.
-
welcome.
so where do you work?
-
The company is called AEBN. They publish adult content and control alot of the adult industry. Dont ask why they want a map, too complicated to explain, but i needed the cash and expirience so i took the job.
-
why do they want a map?
-
Haha, this sounds like a story I would want to hear.
-
To put it simply, advertising

-
Welcome!
That last picture look spot on like a room in cs_killcity.
cs_killcity contain a lot of adult commercials.
Any connection?
Spellbinder.
-
welcome aboard dude.

Never heard of that map, but the place i designed the map around was a real place. I worked off of pictures and videos, so its a spot on recreation. I guess maybe the other map was built off the area aswell?
-
I don't get it, I mean I don't mean to call you a liar or anything.. but judging by their website (NSFW!!!): http://www.aebn.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=theatre.main
I see no reason they'd hire ... a level designer. It doesn't fit.
Also, if you been doing 5-6 years, wheres all the previous maps for Half-life 1? please don't say "dude my harddrive wiped it all!"

Ive had 2 new PC's and moved from 3 different continents since i started mapping (lived in South Korea, Poland and the USA). Ive lost work in the past due to alot of reasons (not having the internet being one), and only have recently joined a mapping/gamesite community (~2004), so all my work has mostly been rated by friends and seeing myself improve.
As for the company - as long as i get paid for the work i do ill map for them. Ive already gotten 2/3 of my payment, so im almost done with the first project.
Previous HL maps which might be around:
Preperation_X/Y
DE_GoCarts6k
CS_QuickFight
SW_Ferret
Outhouse
And a ton which i forgot.

hehe, he said ferret.

Good looking maps, welcome

Hi lex! Good to see you here. The conversation is mature here compared to HL2W, but people dosen't post much 'problems' either.
@ curman, you know, just cause you been mapping for a long time, dosen't mean that you kept and published all the work. I've stared mapping for Q1, that is sometime late 96, its ~9 years ago, and I don't have much map left, just some pics from early HL. I even had the same disc since late 2001.
