sarge mat Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 This is my first project in source and I have sort of been learning as I go so I thought a survival map would be better for a first project rather than trying a campaign just yet. Anyway it’s set in a gas station between two tunnels and I still need to give the border area around it a bit more love but let us know what you think so far. Still learning the finer details of the lights in source so they are a bit A note about the shots, I used fraps and they look darker than it actually is in game. I do have a different name for it as well. Thanks as always Mat Quote
sk3tch Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 I'm no expert in the topic...but based off what I see: -The tree line looks TOO even an repetitive...maybe if you're going to use the same tree model over and over, try rotating each one so they look different. -The garage with the car in it looks stale. There's no overhanging roof-line. A few suggestions would be to have a sign above the door, a pile of used tires to the left of the door, maybe some gutters on the garage, and the fore-mentioned roof overhang. I know you're not done...but it also needs a few props here and there on the exterior. Also...the walls outside look PLAIN. Maybe add some trim / ridges, ...something. Great start for a novice IMO. keep it coming. Quote
Jenn0_Bing Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Also, match the colour of your fog to that of the skybox texture. Should help your tree-line soem just doing that. Quote

sarge mat Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Posted September 24, 2009 http://www.filefront.com/14591731/l4d_gasrun.vpk A beta if anyone wants to try it. No nice poster etc as of yet Some new screens to. Need to find a better way than fraps to get shots. Thanks Quote
dux Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 You still haven't fixed that fog or tree line. Quote
madgernader Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Need to find a better way than fraps to get shots. for screenshots just use the "take screenshot" button... I think its f5 by default and it just saves the images in "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead\L4D\screenshots" or some similar named folder in the Left 4 Dead folder... it tells u in the console once you take it.

sarge mat Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Posted September 24, 2009 You still haven't fixed that fog or tree line. yea, I actually just went in and fixed the fog up to a colour the same as the sky and it looks loads better. Not sure why the f I didn't do it before. Yea the trees are still sticking out. @madgernader Thanks Quote
