Looks amazing, man!

The gate here can't fully open.

A lot of the walls/floors here are very similar in value, which makes it a bit difficult to read. Darker floors (or darker walls) could help bring out more contrast.

The gate is a placeholder. We'll fix it when we come up with a proper way to seal off the coaster entrance. I agree with the walls/floor critic. Thanks!

That looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not a fan of the floor texture in the gift shop. It has this "sandy" color, which most floors/ground surfaces around the map already have. That's allright, since it fits the theme around the map, but I'd go with something different for the gift shop.

It'll pop out the shop props a bit more as well. Here are some suggestions to give an impression of what it could be (I didn't spend a long time choosing colors, it's just to get the idea across ;)). Off course doesn't have to be tiles, it could be carpet or something else just as well.

Finally! Probably gonna result in dust2 - mirage - dust2 - mirage - ... now, but it's a step in the right direction.

Congratz on the release! It looks amazing

Just got it, looking forward to play it

Good luck, I hope sales will get a boost!

It's definately okay to have a theme in mind already when blocking out the layout. I personally find that more helpful than restricting.

@KungFuSquirrel used it for koth_roundhouse. But obviously he knows what he's doing : )

99,99999% of the time you should not use the carve tool.

Contador knows best how often it is okay to use it:

It's nice to follow the progress of this map with the very frequent updates.

Here's some feedback:

I'm not a fan of these railing posts. They appear kinda "big". I think they would look better if they were a bit thinner and have a more fitting material. Maybe try a coloured version (blueish) instead of shiny metallic. You could give the nuke railing props a try as well.

Some of the colours used in the level are a bit too saturated imo. Here are a few examples and some suggestions on how to improve them (pardon my bad PS skills).

Not a really obvious thing here, but the awnings in the original seem to be almost pure white, which is very contrasting to the rest of the area. Toning it down just a little bit, would help the overall scene.

Improving readability of the text.

You also mentioned the compile takes 9 hours and 53 minutes. That's abnormally long. How is it divided into vvis and vrad?

Wow, very impressive, Lemurr! The screenshots you posted before were already amazing, but seeing some of it in motion ...

With "workshop uploader" tomm means the Steam tool, not the person uploading the map. As he already explained, you need to include all custom (= not stock content) textures, models and other files into the bsp. This can be done with Pakrat or VIDE.

https://cloud.blender.org/p/game-asset-c…44a2a00d0d7e069 or http://store.steampowered.com/app/373020/?l=dutch

I just bought it on Steam (€10 instead of min. 3months on Blender Cloud) and it seems good so far!

Thanks for the suggestion! Recently started dabbling around in Blender and this will surely help

Your shadows are too harsh, considering the skybox. Increase ambient lighting a bit.

Also, make sure to check "ignore surface normals" on the tree props (and other foliage props in the map).

Where is the green lighting in the back on the left side coming from? It looks kinda weird.

Other than that, coming along nicely

Where did you read that it's set in an alternate history? I'm still not really sure if it is or not tbh, so wondering what your source is.

Anyway, first Battlefield in years that gets me interested
