Half-Life 2: Deathmatch 1024-unit Competition?

[EjrulF]

Hey mapcorians!

It was a long time since I last made a map. Something like 1-2 years ago.

Ever since I got occupied with studies Im only had chance to fool around some in photoshop in my freetime, but Im always been interested to test the new Hammer. So when I saw this competition, I thought it was a great way to explore the new features.

/me discovers the new Hammer

So yesterday I started building this fast action map with a gravity tunnel in the middle. Pretty much just to test the new features displacements and 3d skyes, but also of course to make a fun map for everyone!

PS. god damn its easy to make cliffs nowadays!

holy crap john you get 100% originality with HL2 assets points. That looks beautiful.

[Defrag]

IMO the best part is the way the colours, skybox & fog blend together beautifully It's totally seamless and enhances things a lot.

I just wish I had the time to enter this thing; it looks like a lot of fun

[Rick_D]

That's fantastic, John

How about a contest where also non-source mappers can contribute? :roll:

[Rick_D]

because there's so many of them here. fuck off and go play linux

[Gorion]

well, custom assets would be difficult, it would be more of "who-has-the-best-skills-to-find-or-create-custom-shit"

except offcourse if the custom assets where given.

[Minos]

I'm using a similar ambient lighting john

[Gorion]

i think i could have come up with something more original, but i didnt. anyway, its uploaded now, i find that it plays oke, everything where you can go is within the 1024 mapspace.

map name: dm_conscript

Not bad, it lacks a cool 3d sky though.

I like that idea - maybe a few of us should get together and make a small pack of textures and models and see who can do the most creative stuff with it?

true. its not very noticable, except for 1 point in the map, anyway, it was a great learning piece
