Quote from SynthesizerHere's a TF2 CTF map I've been working on. I finished the layout a while ago and now I'm going through and making everything as custom content. I still need to add more detail and finalize the textures for this room, then I'll move on to the rest.[Blocked Image: http://www.simonbarsky.com/forum_posts/ctf_lounge/ctf_lounge_1.jpg]

Thats awesome!!!
awesome simon! It looks a bit unfinished now with all the hard edges and stuff, but I'm already liking the classic nice readble deathmatch map feel it has! Something they really forgot about in unreal 3
I forgot to set smoothing groups up for the rounded corner, that's why it looks weird 
That lighting isn't rebuilt though, hence the stencil like shadows. Rebuild and post again!
Yeah for some reason I hit build lighting and it kept the stencil shadows. My directional light was being shown as dynamic even though I set it to static. Go figure.
Yep, I definitely agree with the last 4 comments!
UE3 can be an awesome engine, if given to the hands of good artists! Look at Mirror's Edge!
Anyway, awesome stuff minos. What's this for? Just practising or planing doing a map?
I might do a level out of this. I have lots of cool ideas in my head, like a clean colorful hi-tech office. I only want to have primary and secondary colors in this level. Something like this:

Quote from Senturai think that's the second time i've ever seen good lighting in unreal - the first was in peris' abandoned colony...
Unreal 3 is a wonderful engine too bad Epic's stuff is really busy and noisy. I'm planning on doing a clean level just because Epic's levels hurt my eyes.
Testing some modular walls on UT3:

I love your decadence level! It's got one of the best environment art in any Source mods. I also love how you guys made the maps open source. It's always nice to see how other people approach things in the same editor you are used to.
Quote from Patrick_HSo was anyone here hit by the Raven layoffs?
Wow more layoffs? One week after releasing a game?
Also congrats to evert, phill and insta!
Welcome Dan!
That's some nice work you got there. But I'd like to know why UT3 mappers put so much visual noise/contrast in their maps. That's one of the reasons I can't stand playing it too much to be honest. The Bad Vibrations level looks specially busy. The starkstrom level on the other hand looks cool, has a nice atmosphere and seems to have the right amount of details and depth. The Warsow map is my favourite of the bunch. It looks amazing and stylish. That's a Quake 3 based game isn't it?
Lastly, I agree with others. Make the horizontal scroll nature more visible because I'd never notice it if others didn't mention it here.
Quote from HourencesI consider seeing older (not bad, just old) work a plus. It shows someone has been around for a while. It shows someone started out in the mod community. It shows the person can, in this case, work with BSP. It shows the person can handle several themes and styles.
I agree. As long as the work being showcased is of high quality (which is the case here) there's no reason to remove it.
Don't go spellbinder 
I'm glad you are decided to get a better life but you can still visit mapcore when you have free time. The core can't live without Spellbinder anymore.
Quote from ZetaYou could try overriding the default lightmap the mesh uses? It forces it to use a more detailed lightmap, which obviously hurts performance but ususally improves the accuracy of the effect.
I believe the option in is the mesh properties somewhere, I can take a look later today if you want the specific location.
I don't want to use lightmaps on such simple models. I just want them to get lit properly. The 3d buzz guys didn't lightmap those support beams either.
I just heard our game is getting quite some exposure from Ubisoft there. It's the one who appears after the imagine brand trailer called Imagine Detective (yeah we got our own trailer =) )
Quote from SteppenwolfSpotify is all i need for my music streaming needs.
Free version not available in my country 
Alright I was following the 3d buzz video tutorials and came across the same errors with vertex lit meshes I described above again. The funny thing is that 3d buzz's meshes look perfect.

This is really pissing me off
I have probably spent a lot more time with mapcore than with the majority of my family in the past years!
Just came across this site and I find it amazing 
Quote from dux30? did he do something to it?
He had 2 spare HDDs (he's on his 3rd 360 now). I made him the offer and he accepted it =)
Just bought a used 60 GB XBox HD from a friend at work for 30 bucks =)
