thought id create my own topic instead of flooding the wip in wip post your screenshots one :wink:

its a castle/temple based map using textures from the former graal3d project. textures all created by blazeeer except for the wood wich comes from hl2 (dont know if ill change those)

just some minor changes (to the new section the old one is still as it was)

changed the lighting a little, added a border texture, some more brickwork and added some more wood.

C&C please

(edit) changed the name of the thread to dm_grale

I like it

The torches would look alot better with a model-replacement though.

very cool though its kinda redundant

[Vinny Testaverde]

yes, nice... but you really some more variation: varied lighting, some more wood, different details, varied architecture elements etc... then it will really be A+

but its looking good so far.. so just keeping adding to it

it would be neat if there were steel chains and shields on the wall and stuff like that with some nice rust etc

hehe yes i know thats because it are 2 seperate maps right now still have to stitch them together

also in reply to Bic-B@ll yes it really needs some models/props allready thought about adding chains but im still looking for a nice way to add them to the map so that they have some sort of use.

SEX. one of the first maps with custom bumpmapping ive seen for hl2. grats.

awesome. more texture variety tho...

[Nysuatro]

This map should be good for instagib

[Phatsniper]

Aside from the repetition it's looking very nice, and I'm not usually a fan of castles. A small outside area with some grass etc. could be cool and would help put some more colours in.

Sexy pics ya got there matey. I like the atmosphere, allthough it really reminds me of ehm... Unreal, ''Tournament, ''03, ''04.

Anyhow, it looks like a winner to me.

edit: architecture is 1337!

Agree, the rest looks very good.

It really has style, that castle of yours.

And indeed, the large blocks get kinda repetetive and I think the map is a bit too dark overall. Besides that, it does look good indeed.

Oh, and for a 3D skybox... can I see high mountain peeks on the horizon with tall, gloomy castles on them with lots of high towers?

[MJ]

ut had cool castle maps. Good for some imspiration (if ya need it)
