Quote from Warbyso one thing i leared for sure is to do more public beta stuff and name your releases _alpha_05 _beta_02 _rc_1 etc ... so even you always have the option to change it wothout causing to much map differs form server hassel
That's kinda crap sometimes though. I did a beta and people didn't realize the final was out.
Kinda sucks seeing more beta versions being played than the final.
Was cool for 1 minute
Looks pretty sharp! I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.
Quote from DodgerMe and my babe.. She is lookin good. And I got my haircut not long ago..
dude...I totally pictured you differently. Like... little guy big disposition? I guess that shot proves me wrong 
And I thought that map was an official one ...
That's brush based. Know where I can get a quality model of the like?
About 70% done.
I've been working alot on this map with the lighting and trying to add detail that won't get in the player's way. I wanted to originally make it a daytime map...but since I'm calling it de_nighthawk I wanted to make it dark.
I originally called it de_alistad and posted it here. I just revised this post and added the updated pics.
Any help with the design I can use?

Anybody here know where I can get my hands on some sandbags / sandbag piles models (For HL2 engine)? I know I can rip some off DOD ones...but not sure how legal that is.
If not....any volunteers to make some? 
I ran across this on the web...made me crack a grin. <------------That doesn't happen often

I ran through the map and I must say: I love maps that take that much effort. It's awesome.
It may seem odd (and maybe it is a model..I don't know) but one thing that made me simply fly around in spec mode was the brush based chimney on one of the buildings. It wasn't just a rectangle: It was a built to suit piece of the map. Small dtails like that make me appreciate maps alot more.
One thing that was wierd in the screenshots to me was the giant monsters...but it all makes sense when you see the posters around the map pointing that it was some sort of exibit in a museum.
Downside: The skybox took alot of time as I can definately tell...but the buildings still seem to boxy / repetitive. The Map seems a tad bright to me...but that's just opinion anyway.
One thing that irked me was my fps was averaging 23-45 throughout the whole map. In comparison I get around 80 average on de_aztec. I guess with that much detail comes fallbacks.
Definately spotlight stuff!
That looks hot as hell! I have a question though: How do you make gold on walls like that?
Same effect on de_corse in the church but I have no idea what the material file variables would be.
I read the PDF on gameplay...I'm sold.
Getting it as soon as I can.
