@Lost

Very neat. Reminds me of Natural Selection and the Tremulous maps. Nice illumination but could use some more contrast lighting tough. You could also make a broken lamp in the middle who is flickering or something.

@Insta

Not bad (i hope that those are custom textures :? ). Nice texturing and neat brushwork. I think it would look better with darker lighting.

Insta: looks like a pretty good use of the stock content. :P

Lighting will definitely take some time to master, just remember - keep your overlap down and watch your shadow counts. Some cool geometry there; I think it'd pull off really well with a better lighting pass.

As an MP map, I'm not sure it'd fare so well. You probably won't want any doors at all and you'll need to be really careful with brushwork and lighting. Right now it looks a bit better suited for SP.

Also: you can take screenshots at any resolution you please - try "screenshot 4000 3000" and then sample down if you want to smooth things out as much as possible. :) Poor man's AA if your hardware can't handle it (plus the editor doesn't like to run if AA is enabled).

Thanks for the feedback. A thing I was wondering about the lights;

are there any limits as to how many you can have in a scene at once? I understand that if a light shines on more han 3 surfaces at once, it will get quite expensive to render. Is it better to have few lights which shine on many surfaces each, or can you throw in a heap of lights as long as each has a low facecount?

True. Should provide me with a great opportunity to really learn the scripting/entity work, since right now I can't even trigger entities :S

I'll try that next time. For these screenshots, I dared to go up in resolution to 800x600, but had to turn it back down to 640x480 again when I wanted to actually play the game.

A question I wouldn't mind knowing the real answer to. As far as I know there is no limit. I've just been making sure my lightcount per surface is low and I havent had any problems.

As everyone else said. Looks good, but the lighting would really spruce it up and make all the difference in the world.

Learning the Doom3 engine/radiant editor. Alot of fun, and a huge change from Hammer/Source.

Watch yourself or you'll end up like me, spoiled by radiant, unable to go back to hammer. ;)

Very moody, and I love the fog. Great stuff, captures the atmospher pefectly. My only complain is the bottom left corner of the second shit. The transition between the stone and grass is very sharp. Unless ofcourse you were already going to fix that then, nevermind.
