Linga

Exactly what I thought when I saw this shot again Must be the warm lookin textures

The first shot reminds me of TFC2 :roll: http://www.planetfortress.com/images/im ... italy1.jpg Overall it looks better than most CS:S maps

@ReNo: i've already said why i dislike this map.

mm. it's worked out really well but i dislike it anyway. there are too much confusing thinks like concrete ceilings in damn old buildings, etc. call me fussy but it dosn't make sense ^^ otherwise really utish apart of the lighting one of the shops is called "erotische schafe" - erotic cheeps. not too funny :-? somewhere in the map you can see a 'flying' misplaced brush near some roof corner. that's silly mistake and certainly infuriating for the autor ^^

really original and looking very good so far. i like it what about some leaf antlers or so? a hole in the trunk could be funny. because this guy is looking little like a wimp so he can draw his head inside like a turtle ^^

it looks great. the different light colors and textures are in perfect harmony. i especally like the floor on http://img142.exs.cx/img142/2337/scorpius10ok.jpg. easy to be done but just cool looking. i love your red pointlights. how long have you shifted the rgb sliders to get a color like that? looks like neon, really cool. but this color is so much exceeding in contrast to the other lights that i would expect more freaky lights like local green spots for example. it's a bit breaking the ranks but still cool! the brushwork looks harmonious on all shots. the only things i dislike are the windowtextur and these bridges with this truss texture. they don't fit into the map. i will download it later. thank you for just a great map but you havn't submitted this one to the contest, right? *phew*

so why do you think is the pubs name written in german? but agree @trees. it's no big deal to make them look greener @mikezilla: so do you think these guys will like you any longer after doing this post? :wink:

wow really good work. but it isn't looking like a german village how it shall look like - this 'drunken dragon' sign is written in german. although it's looking really nice but i don't like this perfect look wich you can see in much other hl1 custom maps. every building got the same style and textures, every floor got the same height, etc. a village with buildings wich are 300+ years old doesn't look this perfect. beams and roofs will bend and repairs will be done on different parts wich will make a building look more individual. this is more looking like a new village what shall look like a old village. it's like a theme park or a engineering drawing. i also dislike the high saturation of the sunshades and little flags. the back light is to bluish, too i think you can make more real environments in source. needless to say that this takes more time. so someone got money for this cz map shown above? frightening imagination

i think i will wait until the contest is over. there are also some things i have to do like some areas wich doesn't look like i want to see them, etc. but you never know :roll:. probably i will find some time during the next weekend to finish it.

right. i've put flares on several places to avoid dark spots.

some more shots arn't that way too many shots? oh i just noticed that they havn't got bump and specular maps...sorry about that ^^

good point but it's away for two days now

Thats not the matter. If it isn't legal to enter with this and Valve doesn't recognize I will get in trouble because Monolith (developer of blood) got the copyright. I've just left the lead level designer of blood a mail. i hope he will agree with this but i think he can't. i don't know :-?

thx ferret i think you all can understand my anger. sorry for this. do you remember my dumb email regards this lightbeams in dm_rebar? and look what i have done with your help your absolutely right. i go to bed now and i hope i will dream of doing the next contest a better way =P

I only found this one here but it says nothing: source: http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter @kleinluka: sorry for that, i don't wanted to be rude. especially not to you. i don't know if you know where i'am from. it's linga from thewall.de ^^ the problem isn't that i won't accept your idea of copyrights. i share it. but in this case the law isn't that clear and i tought this will never be a problem. i saw it from an other direction. i havn't tought about selling this map as a product with giving it to a contest where you probably can win money for your work. my mistake. shame on me. but i think the main question atm is: is my interpretation of this blood map a 'bad' copy or not and will i get disqualified from the contest or not. i'm thinking about asking the autor of the original map for his approval as a last chance but i don't know where to find this guy =P
