Looks very good. Just a nitpick, between the garage and those generator things it doesn't look as if there would be enough room for a truck or anything to park though of course that has no effect on gameplay or anything ;o

Quote from JamesL
Regent Valley I think? Shame the Source engine won't let you do the kind of dynamic falling leaves thingy that GW allows.
yes Regent Valley, thats the one i mean

you could make the leaves falling, in the same way you make rain/snow/ash.

same for me

Very impressive! The first and fifth pic looks a bit like what I've seen from Crysis. Wonderful job

-
Just Awsome..
-
Some of the best looking stuff I've seen on Source so far, great stuff~
-
Yeah I love the lighting, it looks very real and believable.
-
YAY!!!

Looks Valve/Turtle Rock quality -- let me know too when you're testing it

So here's the latest WIP version of the map. I wasn't sure if I wanted to release this version of it, since it's still needing a serious last layer of polish and fixing up. However I think the map needs a last round of feedback before I go for a final. (It was actually Hessi's harsh but fair post on dod_eidelweiss that persuaded me to release this).
Known issues:
Some texture alignment bugs.
Model collisions.
Some of the models need re-skinning (remaking possibly, I pretty much suck at modelling still).
Totally unoptimised - FPS is shite in places.
Nav mesh is rough and dirty with no place painting.
You can escape from the map in some places.
Some z-fighting where the tree shadow overlays hit displacements.
Soundscapes appear broken in this build.
Some of the overlays are a bit crap.
All comments and crits appreciated. I am pretty much set on the layout now, I just want to concentrate on making it look nicer and fixing bugs.
-
you listed a few of the things i noticed too. the tree shadow displacement thing shouldnt be hard to fix: instead of overlapping displacements better use 1 displacement with mutliple overlays. you can edit the renderorder, that everything fits.

As I said before in this thread: the map itself is very good but I have not tested it yet so I will do it now..

Hessi, you rock.

Very nice. Agree with hessi 100% too

Well, I played the map for a wee while and found just a few details that need ironed out, sorry if I'm repeat anything, but I don't think so...

Near impossible to tell this was a bombsite visually, needed the radar to find it, possible write a big A/B on the walls in white?

No clipping on the jet engine.

That was me getting stuck behind the damn metal girders when I dropped down.

Can you make the skylight breakable, so I can through flashes into it?

Fan needs to be moved up a few units, I can see a gap all around it.
Absolutly loved the rest of the map though, I'm deffo getting this on my clan's public server when this is done (may even get the beta on it).

Its nearly there
Some minor issues I found.[Blocked Image: http://www.chehamilton.com/Random/de_static_rc60002.jpg]
Gaps in the pipes, and one of them sorts through the other.

Can't see some of the trees in the background

And then they pop into view.

The model seems too dark - maybe info_lighting will help
[Blocked Image: http://www.chehamilton.com/Random/de_static_rc60007.jpg]
Could be good to add a grate here, with pipes underneath. Possibly break some of the tiles as well.

Arch looks a bit squashed. Some more polys on it could benefit.

Dark prop.

Supports under stairs look a bit too thick. Maybe reduce the width by a few units.

Can see the barbed wire

Pipes go through fence.

Leaves look a bit too big, and there is a strange lip peeping over the grass.

Black trees in the background.

Great feedback guys. I'll work on getting all the issues you mention addressed over the next few weeks.
