I have not played your level but the lampposts, are they easy to maneuver past during combat?

Ahoy!

I would like to see a top down of your level : )

Junior Level Designer at Massive Entertainment since April

Looking damn fine *synth solo*

Higher walls : )!

Edit: Look at how they block off areas in the official maps

Wowa, this looks legit : D!

Sweet greybox :)!

Interesting for sure, looking forward to seeing how this game pans out

I hope they help :)! That grain effect is sneaky

When taking screenshots do you have the grain filter on in the video options? I think the screenshots would look better without the grain effect.

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/1569018567…414E55BBF66F7D/ On this screenshot the light only hits the table and the generator next to it but the ground gets none of the light, I think it would be worthwhile to do a improvement pass on the lights. I would take a look at how Valve constructs their lights to make it go as fast as possible.

The light baked into the texture of the skybox contrasts harshly with the surrounding environment, I would investigate using a more dim skybox texture to match the lighting of the level.

Heya Chris,

Here is a tutorial I like on how to make a radar however you don´t have to complete the steps, this will provide you with a nice orthographic overview of your level that you can post with your level

Ahoy ahoy,

Something I would like to see is a breakdown video where you talk about your design decisions regarding your level.

(The foliage on the wall that is a prop_static should have shadows disabled because the blocky shadow that Valve provides us with is not that pleasant)

https://youtu.be/O_BDvmhtVeo?t=3m54s (This is where I saw the foliage)

Please do write if anything I wrote needs clarification. My steam nick is http://steamcommunity.com/id/eatbeavers

Is there a possibility of seeing some gameplay videos?

The stream was really cool and interesting :)! Philip still got it

Half life 2 hands down, I love the challenge of having no light preview in-editor

You're going to have to put them in the proper original folder structure in your mod for them to work, since the models were compiled with a specific path defined for materials, such as: "\models\de_nuke\".

it works perfectly! Thank you so SOOOO much!

Thanks I will try it :)!

Heya,

Been looking around the internet and the mapcore forum but I am unable to make it work when I try to add the cstrike.fgd to the project.

How do I add the CSS assets to my Half Life 2 mod?

This is a joke right? Good goof UK!

No one leaves the union. NO ONE.

Thanks man :D!
