Small update, I have started on the house/farm buildings at the edge of the map.

[Warby]

[Schmung]

Our beatiful lakeside cottages are available for as llitte as...

Sublime, maybe a mite more wear and texture variation on those buildings.

In the first images the sky and the lighting doesn't match the lighting should be brighter. however the lighting in the later screen shots looks great.

Nice!

Also great to see some map without that damn hl2 grass texture that is in every other map.

[tomdon]

I share your dislike for the hl2 grass. It was ok to begin with but you just get so tired of seeing it.

This grass is straight from my garden .

Looks great, love the waterfall. I've seen you making these BG2 maps for quite a while so I'm sure you've experimented with grass sprites, I think they might help the map especially on those long grassy portions.

[tomdon]

I have made my own custom grass sprites already. But I have put it on hold when I realised hammer ignores custom detail materials. It will only use the material with the same name as the hl2 one. This means if I use a custom one it will change everybody elses bg2 map that uses the sprites .

[FMPONE]

Hmm even for a mod? Valve should really fix that >: (

[tomdon]

I am hoping valve will have fixed it in the big sdk update that is coming.

[hessi]
