Hey go to my profile and check out my map Strike Point. Everything is basic because I wanted to use regular HL textures and regular styled architexture. Its a really fun LAN map. I hope you guys like it. [addsig]

Have your func_walls 'solid' and '255'.

It looks decent with the hl textures, but by your own admission it's somewhat basic.

I'd have the glass a little more transparent. Add some outdoor lights for detail and lighting variation.

Awesome use of that truck prefab in the background of pic2. The map gets my two thumbs up just because of it's use.

It looks rather nice for what it is, but it could use some variation. As A_S said some varied lighting might help, but I'd suggest going to www.gamedesign.net/prefabs and look for a cargo container prefab that has either yellow or green colored textures, i forget which. That'll help ad some variation.

[EDIT] ack, where did the site go? I don't know if that prefab is available at www.ejoop.com/prefabland/ oh well

eh, I dont really like it tbh. You can come up with some good halflife architecture with simply the textesua and theme. You dont have to basic and spamming the crates.

alien sniper those do have the 255 setting ot them its just viewing them in that program. Ferret i wasent trying to make a super amazing map, I had a plan of just like a crate yard and like a military style base, I wanted alot of fighting and I wanted to control the fighting by an airstrike, wasent susposed to be anything spectacular. I mean to all of youthanks for your contructive critisism but the plainness of the map is pretty much how i wanted it. I can make maps with uber detail and cool textures [ if i somehow get my hands on some ] but this project was just to have a map that would be a blast to play at my college LAN parties. [addsig]
