It's not a big deal but Mino is right about the fridge. Even though your going for a surreal style it's more convincing if basic principles of perspective are obeyed.
Quote from ThrikI think the character does generally fit, but he needs more shading (flat shading) just to give him a bit more depth.
I agree, some flat shading (especially the jacket) would easily give him more depth. He should suite the room fine.
It's easy to see your influences, you have a cool style.
Looking good Meo. I'd be happy to check it out in game for you.
*edit: Solid white sends bloom crazy in source. Darkening highlights in textures greatly reduces bloom but might not be suitable to your situation.
Nice stuff Mike.
Quote from Seldoon182how's about a cs_bikini remake on src engine?

I concur, damn that was a pleasant environment for a hostage situation.
Looks great, very different from your other maps which is a good thing. I like the fact you've set a clear concept for the project too. Maybe it could benefit from some variation in building height like Pampers suggested?
Awesome stuff Pericolos0. Love the architecture and colour scheme.
Nice work streamlining Mapcore Thrik. Anything that increases traffic to the mapping related forums is a good thing.
I actually agree with this.
Same, the 2d forum is overwhelmed with photo threads.
I'm pretty indifferent to this news. If I like the first release and each release adds additional units and shit I'll probably buy the lot regardless of what they charge. If the preceding releases don't add additional multiplayer content I won't bother with them.
Not really Gaming Discussion but I don't think it's off-topic either.
I'm using Vista and I was frustrated with the terrible things Windows Photo Gallery does to colours. A google search proves this is a common problem but there's no solution I know of.
I just tried out this lean image viewer http://%7boption%7d and I'm really impressed with the dramatic difference it made.
Not only the colour but the image downscaling absolutely shits all over Windows Photo Gallery. This is an awesome free program for quickly browsing images.
I really hope this increases both awareness and the playerbase of Source mods (which is damn low, at least here in Australia). A suprising amount of gamers are completely oblivious to mods.
You got ripped off R_Yell. I would have thought FoF's unique gameplay, regular content updates and continual improvement would make it an obvious choice.
I'm very curious about what's involved for a mod to become a part of Steamworks.
The Outside architecture is great! The textures and lighting are also very nice.
I think there's room for more detail within the interiors. Give the ceiling some variety. Some demonstration consoles setup around the place would also be a nice touch.
A desk with a cashregister, etc at the store exit would make sense too.
looks damn impressive. i'll definately check it out.
Good to see you're still at it Marcos.
omega322: Looking good but there's a lot of room for detailing. For starters I'd definately add some light fixtures. I'm not sure about the shape of the wall, purhaps make it straight and add some interesting support structures. Some more interesting bushwork for the cieling and floor could also greatly add to the atmosphere. I like the DoF effect, nicely used.
Warby, no less than fucking incredible
Love those pipes!
Looks promising. I tried to check it out today but after installing it to the CustomMaps directory it doesn't appear in my maps list ingame?
I haven't had problems with any other custom UT3 maps. Also, the other custom maps I've downloaded used /Maps instead of /CustomMaps as suggested in your readme.txt. Does it matter?
I managed to put aside some time today and have a run around your map (I didn't actually have a game on it). It's really impressive!!! The screenshots don't do it justice. The custom content fits in seamlessly and both bases have distinct visual styles to them (I particularly like the style of the Blue area).
I have a few small suggestions. I noticed a lot of LOD popping and some models disappearing completely when only a few meters away. I think you could afford to extend the ranges before some of the LODs kick in on your models.
Also, some of the light globes don't appear to be illuminated or unlit_generic. The glow origins look like they are below the globes too and some of your choices for light colours could be more subtle.
These are the light fixtures that I think could do with some work:

This model was disapearing when the player was far too close:

the last shot looks spot on to me. Everything works very nicely.
Shameless bump tiem!Got into the final of the Make Something Unreal Contest phase 1: http://www.beyondunreal.com/view_story.php?id=12122
A deserved accomplishment. Well done.
Quote from hessiwhy the hate, m8nkey? you shouldnt be so serious about the internet. i might actually be a quiet person in real life
at least folks enjoy working with me
No hate here. I don't know if it's a cultural difference but you often come off as arrogant in your posts. There was also the time I attempted to talk to you on MSM until you called me a fanboi of yours and basically said my work wasn't worth commenting on.
It really doesn't bother me though and wasn't the point of this thread, hell, I still think you deserved a spotlight for kolsch. Even if you're an arrogant bastard :wink:
The internets is serious business!!!
I tend to agree with Pogo, your posts could probably do with a little brevity and fewer pictures. All I want to read is a very brief summary of what's been happening and what you're working on.
Damn you've put some work into this though. I'll check it out when I have a chance and let you know what I think.
yeah I was curious about that myself. They've accredited Paramount and I got the impression they may have permission. How did they possibly get so far without it?
I think IP laws suck balls and stifle creativity. Non profit fan fiction and the like should be free from such bullshit. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
