mmhm perhaps - it took so long to render it out - and it does have lighting in there unless you mean a background with some heavy lighting akin to the graveyard scene?

Thanks for crits I will take them into account and make a short run through of the source level (I didn't do any level design, I should mention, just the props) - I'll look into putting a sky behind the building and rendering it with some more intense lights.

Do you think there's anything I should remove, or not have so many spinning shots (which don't let you look at the detail imho - just wanted something other than plain screenshots), etc

Anyway, thanks for crits.

thanks, my computer hanged because of your video that caused it.anyway..

Actual information would be nice; operating system, codecs installed, media players installed, version of quicktime, ram, gfx card, sound card - anything that may be of use to me to find out why it caused a problem. Just telling me it caused your computer to hang is like telling me you are an idiot. Tell me something I am not already clearly aware of, thanks

Do you ever say anything constructive Rick?

I do.

Just got the email about new beta (2.6), and he has added some fucking sweet features - you can now have a view of the diffuse + normal with lighting.

Great stuff, grab it now

Please give me some feedback on this, I will be applying to places as soon as I get this finished so crits are welcome, I've already reworked this a fuck-ton of times and built the graveyard to add some diversity (and threw in some other mediocre stuff to make it less boring).

Anyway, 70mb, quicktime format.

Thanks.

wow what a load of shit - that's a fucking awful map. he should be given the death penalty for getting pictures of CS all over the news looking like that. it looks like doom.

what a cock.

i would have drawn a penis

@ comments on Quakis' piece

since when is everybody here suddenly an architect?

I've seen columns like this in (most notably) the national maritime museum here in london - it's not a case of adding additional support (if you flipped it upside down you'd end up with a heavier load on a thinner support anyway..) but quite often it's just decoration, some wood paneling built out over a concrete/stone rectangular support to give it some nicer aesthetics instead of just a square.

@ albatros

What's with the windows in the roof? Any reference pics to show that things as bizarre as that actually exist?

lighting looks nice

oblivion was amazing?

interseting idea, game, gameplay, and theme all look shit though.

I guess the people down in texas never saw or read Minority Report.

and they're better off for it

tbh - who wants to map the whitehouse with me <_<

I bet we'd be famous in guatanamo bay.

''oh look, it's the white guys''

No, it's oppression.

the roof texture is letting it down

Where are the other 1000?

I remember it tho, erratic,; held a private part in my special place under stairs, lit all the candles and kissed the photo i have of you in the shower. if only you knew that i was watching you.

mhhhhhhhhhhhm doesn't really remind me of stalker

maybe you should update it with some custom textures - but I don't think the kind of people that play ZM really care about the quality of the maps ;D

Quote from mabufo

We should just have regular mapcore deathmatch outings, so we can play each other's maps.

Only problem is HL2DM is sucky shit with a topping of crap.

well the map pack I made was just to have all the bsp's in one place so people wouldn't waste time downloading them form the server (which is uber slow).

If you want I'm sure we can stick it on the server and see what happens. I'd love to take the top 5 or 6 maps and put them together as a kind of mapcore.net map-pack and release it on some sites, maybe you guys can get your maps played on some other servers. I know not many people like HL2DM but at least more people would play some of the better entires than just some lazy snobs on mapcore

But yeah, I'll put your map on the server but we won't be voting on it as the deadline has come and gone - same with anyone else I guess, jean paul and zeke maybe? We can always test them out and see how good/bad they are
