Hi,

how you know I'am currently working on a remake of the famous half-life deathmatch-map crossfire. Now here are my results:

Imageshack is useless, I don't feel like waiting 5mins to load each picture.

Re-upload your images with http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/ please.

Ok played the map. It was ok, nice outdoor lighting. But the inside area of the bunker was strange. The lighting I didnt like it you know what Im saying it was too dark.

And some models on the walls was not right aligned as they should be.

penE, nice map, definitely!

btw, maybe It's a good idea to turn AA on, when taking final screenshots of you'r maps! But maybe It's this monitor that it playing tricks on me... dunno.

Cheers, and keep up the good work

Nice job dude!

The download link ran away

there is no download link, just connect to that IP, using CS:S. And it will download it automatically...

[Zyn]

Me? Playing CS? BLASPHEMY!

Ah, now I can see it, thanks! You've done a very tidy job on this remake, nice work!

Too bad it have been done too many times before. I remember playing a version just a few weeks after the sdk was released.

Took a stroll through this map .. well, that was easier said than done. I don't know what you've done, but this map trashes my performance like no other. Staggering through the map at low framerate at any given place made me wonder if there's something wrong with my drivers or graphics-card. So I loaded my old trusty dusty Bounce map and to my discovery it's no problem there. Map-specific problem I thought, but then I turned off HDR... ok, playing this map, and you have HDR enabled, is not recommended if you want to have a playable experience in the heat of battle!

Right, so I put "mat_wireframe 3" on , and suddenly I see what's really going on behind the scenes. Poor optimisation! Take a few moments and read up on HINTs and the great new addition to Source: AREAPORTALS! The new OCCLUDER might be of interest too.

Some wireframe pictures to show what I mean :

If there were HINT brushes and AREAPORTALS in between, you would probably have around just half of the stuff rendered.

"Mat_luxels 1" is also a fine debug command, since it draws the lightmap density grid on every brush and displacement. And from this angle with ze budget on :

And last of all, it's no fun when you can throw props outside map or into unreachable places :

Please close off the roofs with CLIP-brushes. You don't want players who are dolts to throw away all the props you can use as a weapon :

That's all for now.
