BlackPanther Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Wow. Impressive feat of mapping my friend. Very impressive. It doesnt feel like you're comfined to a city block either. It feels like GTA and everywhere is accessible... and you can get shot from anywhere too This baby must take you forever to compile. oh and i gotta ask.. how much of the Hammer grid did you use?

Wesley Tack Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Posted January 13, 2007 Thanks, glad you like it. I hope you'll all be able to play it soon enough! BlackPanther: It takes 2 hours to compile, 4 hours with HDR. The map dimensions are: 1900high, 5400wide, 8000long (units). Quote
Wesley Tack Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 Ok, After all the comments, I took a few into consideration and fixed them. Added some more color variation, did a few fixes after playtesting the map as well and i quickly learned how to make HDR skymaps and made a night skymap out of a HL2 skymap. So This is now the real final version. I can now even play the map at 1920*1200 after my performance tweaks, and still get 35/40 fps. So I'm very pleased with how it runs. Thanks for all the comments and crits that helped make my map better! :x I'm going to update my previous map the same way so I can also run it smoothly at 1920*1200, this way the Off Limits maps should handle about the same way as the CSS maps, which I also can play at 1920*1200. Here are some final shots (taken at 1920*1200 and scaled down a bit) - Wesley Quote
FMPONE Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Thank you for being so openminded about the crit, the skybox change made a world of difference to an already awesome map. Quote
Mazy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Awesome stuff, looks great! +New the sky fits it a lot better too Quote
Nysuatro Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 You brought that mood with a color enity? The blue color theme in the map Quote
Wesley Tack Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 The blue-isch mood you mean ? Thats an environment_light yea, if thats what you mean ? I updated the 1st post iamges yesterday (since they are linked to my website, which I updated yesterday). So you can look there for more shots. Quote
Ginger Lord Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Could you share the light environment values? Im using the same sky and I'm having trouble getting a light level the majority of people accept. I even tried the default one from the Valve Wiki and people complained it was too dark despite being the same as Ravenholm. Quote
⌐■_■ Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 WOWZZ!! That looks fatally hot, Wesley!! Quote
Wesley Tack Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 thanks killertomato! Sorry for the late reply ginger_lord, i totally forgot about this this is what i have in my light_environment: 66 121 151 150 hope it helps! Quote
