Ginsengavenger's suggestion ... darker ceiling & upper walls for more contrast:

Working, or too subtle ?

much better but you could go a little crazier with the lighting in there... i know the ambient has to be high for the rest of the map, it's just kinda hurting this area

Darker still:

Possibly the last area to be worked on:

See below.

looks bland and poorly lit?

Zacker · August 18, 2006 at 4:11 PM

That last area needs the usual amount of interesting architecture and details. It's pretty much just flat walls and floor.

It's an office building hallway at night ?

Hey Zacker !

How are you ?

How's SOW2 coming along ?

the Carpenter · August 19, 2006 at 6:26 PM

OK ... hard to admit, but I've decided I need some help.

Anybody here able to dirty up my existing textures ?

I've tried a dozen times & the results always suck.

Do you has what it takes ?

How about wrapping up this project and switching to source?

Polaris · August 25, 2006 at 11:30 AM

stfu RD. I want to see the first gay bar in CS. Heh, imagine all the T's are hiding in there, and none of the CT's want to go in.

Zacker · August 25, 2006 at 12:04 PM

Hey Carp I am fine, thanks:) SoW2 is coming along, but with the current speed we will have our next beta out in 2008 and a decent game around easter 2048.

HA !

Yup ... it's hard to find dedicated people in todays world.

Back to dirtying up the map:

Here's the best filth I've come up with to date:

You can see why I need help.

What about making a few grime-decals and apply them here and there, just to break up the repetition?

ifO · August 30, 2006 at 10:57 PM

As far as I know custom decals don't really work in HL1.

The only way to get decals to work is to add them to decals.wad and then you have distribution issues. That's last time I checked anyway. I've mapped for many years in HL1 and never used decals..
