CSS-Assault

[JynxDaddy]

Whoa thats great tisky~

Can I help with anything

[Mazy]

tbh then I dont really understand why u wud remake assault of all cs maps, never really considered that as a true cs classic. Now get to militia and prodigy instead, those r just begging 4 a remake

[Tisky]

Im new to mapping with hammer and i thought that a small map as assault would be a great practice.

Btw, :edit:

Gas station:

Parking building (far from done)

Dude, it looks like you are still staying well within the poly limits of the HL1 engine

Add more brushwork/detail to...well, everything. It's the Source engine, what every HL mapper has dreamt about ever since HL2 was announced.

Yeah, I demand more curves and less right-angles!

Why does everything have to be so fancy? I just want sausage, mash and a bit of cake.

[Tisky]

Actually, at work, i was sketchin on the gas station, and i decided to make it little more rounder, and change some textures. Im free from work tomorrow, so guess 5 times what im gonna do

Btw. im loving valve hammer more and more each day.

i suggest not doing the sunsetty looking skybox. That's gonna get overused like crazy and i think anyone who played hl2 is already tired of it.

like a slightly dim overcast day seems more fit for this.

[Tisky]

yeah, maybe.. im gonna try some different skyboxes.

fixed up the gas station alot, gonna get some screenies now!

:EDIT:

Some models, like the pole on the street, are supposed to have signs on them, but they arent showing in the map. D:

weird.

[tnoh]

Getting better. Looks spooky

[Duff-e]

tisky why dont you try doing a classic cs map remake

ALL YOUR ATTEMPTS AT ORIGINAL MAPPING ARE FUTILE, SUBMIT TO DE_NUKE

[OL]

i made u a handtruck

consider urself blessed

[von*ferret]

a lot better.

suggestions are

-I'd use round poles rather than square poles.

-Add better lights. Those flat brushes are days of Halflife, Get creative and observe how real locations do lights.

-Careful with windows, if you have a window make sur eyou can see through it. This is halflife2 we're talking about, just plan accordingly.

-Dont overuse models for models sake, ie: those fences. Why are there fences at a gas station? Just to look pretty or do they have a use?

-I think I see a texture error in the merging of the gas station floor and the road.

-Make streets a little wider unless they are 1 ways, in which case put signs up saying so.

[Tisky]

Omg, stop the whining! hehe..

Actually 2 cars fit on the road. And ive never ever seen a gas station with rounded poles =/

Also the fences are there because i want fences there.

The rest of the things are just stuff il do later. I plan on making the basic brushwork later, and then i will "rounden" it so to say, and fix the lights and textures.

If u dont like it, tough!

BTW OL, reall nice, but wheres the skin? D:

All buildings need some kind of 3d indentation on the roof, be it an overhanging trim or a slope.
