Finally playing this!

This is one of the best italy ports i've seen, and i'm not really a fan of italy themed maps =)

Likes:

-LOVE the layout and vertical combat

-Extraordinary high amount of detail!

-superb job on an original/creative italy theme

-very pretty lighting and generally, a very pretty map

-Fun gameplay!(i played as ct only)

Dislikes:

None really

Room for improvement:

-use smoothing groups to make some of the simpler structures, like this tower i'm pointing look better and alias those edges(don't know if i'm using the right term).

- fps is shady in a couple places for me. my rig is old(2.26 core 2 duo), but still, maybe some optimization is in order, e.g., skybox optimization, prop fading, areaportals, hints, etc.

- some structures are overly simplistic and could do with chamfering/bevel/trims, but if you are already experinceing any fps trouble, i know it would be tough to add more stuff.

- some structures are a little blocky, but no big deal!

- clippng: use triangular clips on stairs so it's "smoother" when you walk up them, and this should also help your navmesh creation, and hopefully shorten your vvis/vrad times.

NOTE: FYI, i'm a former gs mapper with not a lot of experience with source and go mapping, so please take that into account with my n00bish comments =)

Anyway i really enjoyed playing this map briefly, i wish you good luck completing it! =P

thanks!

Notes

Most doors and windows on the plane and terminal are breakable.

Originally, this was supposed to be a hostage rescue map, but i had a really hard time getting the hosties to follow me through the plane. SO i took up a TWHL member's suggestion to make it a bomb defusal map, instead of trying to figure out the navigation mesh.

The plane is more or less a complete 747-400, with some obvious liberties taken like the air stairs in the back and some other things. All the seats and galleys are placed right where they would be on the real plane. (I DID take out a few rows of seats here and there, to allow better player movility)

This is not the newest version of the map(i probably have at least 6-7 "imporved" revisons), but this was the last one I was able to compile with playable fps, despite all my efforts at optimization.

I will do my best to release a newer version with the updates and playbable fps, but compiling is quite cagey at this stage, and i'm not promising anything. This will probably be my last cs:s map now that cs:go is coming out.

I use 3dsmax and i've tried UDK, but Hammer seems the easiest to me to learn and use. I suppose the more you use something the more comfortable you become, and every sort of editor will have it's own unique advantages.

Wow there are many good tips in here, but you are bound not to absorb most of them until you learn by example actually doing stuff.

I would recommend re-reading this thread a few more times during your first couple of weeks mapping and try your best to try all the shortcuts and tips listed in the thread. In particular, the "ctrl+S" to autosave... (also, i would recommend setting up your autosave option to save frequently, and log more versions of the map than the default is set to (i use 5-minute saves and log 50 iterations of the map, and i also do a manual save of the vmf and logfile every hour or so of editing time)

Quote

Unreal and Radiant are from the future and Hammer is from the past.

Sure hammer is old, but afaik, it's the easiest way on the planet to quickly and easily prototype your 3D world ideas, and has to be the most user-friendly interface out there.

whoa that looks really neat though i don't know anything about UT3 mapping! Reminds me of Mustafar from the the Star Wars prequel a bit.
