El Paso [Outlaws&Lawmen] (updated 17 jan)

[Polaris]

That looks awesome. I can't wait to see what the final map(s) will look like

[Zeta]

These are great!

I love the way the map doesn't feel boxed in at all, and the sky box is wicked. Keep it up.

[Evert]

great work so far man, looks tight.

[Schmung]

Awesome!

Looks great, really authentic.

Hows the mod coming along?

[R_Yell]

The only thing I can say is that the green looks a little out of place, mabye a little too light?

Yes, you are right, the purpose was to make it dark green, with a varnished layer, and a bit aged like the rest of the building. I made another version:

There also can be seen the wood wall normal map, look at the transition between light and shadow.

great wood materials!

thx hessi, but there are 3 planks materials from cs_militia. I modified them to look close as possible to the original building. The wood planks normal map was modeled.

Hows the mod coming along?

We are in a sweet moment now Schmung. Most of the main positions are filled, though we are a small team, so always looking for more people. The mod is in the right track with 8 or 9 weapons fully working (including a throwable knife ), 2 maps done, other 2 near completion, and 3 more in the making. The character modeling and coding side are a bit behind, but now there are 2 guys on it. I'll should add that we even had 3 music composers, very talented guys, including Duncan Watts (now he is working on several AAA projects). He made the music for Presidio.

damnit man this is TIGHT! i love the dry look. hope it will play well and run smooth bet you'll handle that with ease

[R_Yell]

My two main guidelines always are performance and fun, so I hope this is no an exception. I'm taking care with models (almost all the expensive details are models), using several LOD's, map layout was made with overdraw in mind, etc. Just hope Valve let non oficial mods use its new prop static lighting system, that would be great for this map.

Here are 3 new buildings, and the best is yet to come I think After this comes the big Gold Coin Palace Hotel and the train station (I'm a train fan), both from Once Upon a Time in the West.

[Bic-B@ll]

Awesome.

[⌐■_■]

Awesome.

seconded.

[PhilipK]

Awesome.

[General Vivi]

looking really nice r_yell. do you do all of your own custom stuff or does someone help you?

[R_Yell]

Thanks @all

@ generalvivi, at the moment it's just me and my army of trained monkeys, he he. I'll include later some props from our O&L modeler, they are better than those I made. The texturing side is all for me because we have no texture artist.

[hamst3r]

Ouch, no texture artist. Great work none the less!

[von*ferret]

Sweet. Just when you get time get some variation on the ground plane and paint up alphas so that there is roads or engraved ground from traffic.

[Defrag]

Lovely stuff
