This is my new wingman map (or better layout) for the source engine discord 2020 wingman contest. Currently it has no decorations, because im still focusing on the layout. Here is the workshop link to the wip map: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…/?id=2118265586 The map will be located in a japanese castle (砦 (toride) is japanese for fort (if you can trust google translate)) I would appreciate any help or suggestions on the layout and playability of it.

sorry..

here is the qc-file:

$modelname de_eldorado/torch.mdl $model "Body" "torch.smd"

$staticprop $cdmaterials "models/de_eldorado/" $surfaceprop "torch"

$sequence "idle" "torch.smd" $collisionmodel "torch.smd" { $concave }

i followed this tutorial and copied every file he had in the video description and of course changed the names and the paths accordingly, but somehow my model in the model viewer is completly black (although the model viewer doesnt show any error messages) and inside the map it switches bewteen completly black and black/white dotted

I have not a single clue why this is and could use some help..

So finally got more time to work on the map.

Updates coming soon. I will work on the layout and work in the feedback i got and then schedule a playtest. I want to make the architecture more like it will be, when it's finished but maybe i will wait with that until after the playtest.

I will in the following days update the workshop page and start modeling some basic stuff (im completly new to 3d modeling so don't expect anything grand)

oh my this looks nice! i really like the view of the layout. the train could be an interesting part to boost over

I want to add a bit more volume to that wisteria tree, but it's already heavier on the poly's than I intended so I'm going to need to get a bit more creative with it.

Not too happy with that fence, but it's important to control movement and sight-lines. I might try raising the wall and if all else fails I'll add "Slightly less ugly fence" to my ever-growing list of assets to create.

The beginnings of a seaside ice cream stand. The finished piece will have a nicer base, and some signage.

Salty's Wholesale Fishing Supply Co. because in another life people know me as Salty instead of Text Fish. Gotta change that horrible orange text at some point. To the bottom left you'll see where I've been experimenting with hacky ways to make a sea-wall out of displacements and Valve props, but I think I just need to open Blender and make something bespoke.

That's all for now folks, see you next time.

holy shit gimme more of that ❤️

@Ynel thanks for your feedback i will have a playtest on TopHatWaffles server in a view hours and will consider what you said in the further work after the playtest.

Update probably coming in 2 weeks because i have a exame in a week

nice! maybe consider to give each part of the map a kind of own color for the lighting to separate them from each other and make pathfinding more easy?

then he should just do that @TECHNICKER

But my pal @Samwow does most of the changes on the day, and since his brush work is pretty amateur, When I'm back home at night I just refine his brush work and the layout (that has been our way of working since last week). I really recommend working in a team.

thats actually great but i think this wouldn't work for me because of several resons (e.g. my perfectionism and that i don't like giving work to others and probably the biggest problem is that i don't really know anyone who is into mapping or wants to take part in this competition). But when i have the time to work on the map i get quite much done so i think this won't be that big of a problem.

im pretty excited altough the first two images look really dark.. maybe you could tweek the brightness in these areas?

name change from de_inca to de_eldorado. I think it sounds better. do you agree?

finally i can upload an update to the map. the layout should be finished either today or tomorrow and then i will upload a (hopefully) playable map end of the week or early next week.

for now i made some decoration:
