What can I say? I am speechless (which, by the way, doesn't happen very often).

Fabulous, just fabulous. It's as good as I imagined it could be. Rabid, you the man.

I'm not keen on the lighting in there actually, I don't think its come out too well I also don't think its really your fault, but instead I think the fault lies in that you are mostly using pipe models and the lighting on those models looks pretty poor.

Yeah, I've been noticing that as well. Reckon I should switch over to brushes? I've got a bit of extra engine force to play with here. And the shiny pipes are the result of an incorrect texture, and have been changed so they look stupid no longer.

It should run in DM fairly well, the engine isn't choking on a single area at the moment.

I'd say it might be worth it to benefit from nicer face lighting that brushes can have. You could assign all the faces of pipes to smoothing groups to get it looking smoother as well - I did that in my arched ceiling in Echo and it gave a really nice result.

Alright, I think I'll give that a try when I get home.

And smoothing groups, eh? Never got how those worked I'll mess around with them as well.

Rabid let me have a little run through it, and I thought I might tell you that the lighting looks a lot better in-game.

Ask Rabid, when he showed me those screenshots, I didn't like the lighting. Then I played the map, and I loved it.

Anyways, brilliant map. Keep it up. [addsig]

Because my host screwed up whilst moving servers and it took a rather long time to move everything over because of a really weird FTP issue. I'm reuploading everything now, should be fixed within 15 minutes or so.

dude, you have the option of uploading up to 5 screenshots here into your profile.. why not allow lep to host it?

PLEASE upload optimized screens of the 50 to 75k variety.

You only have the option of uploading three Orph, and the screenshots have been working fine for months, hence all the replies.

you're being deliberately obtuse Duncan.. its been here for only days, and you can upload UP TO 5 screenshots.

please, do not be so..

[edit] so it is three.. but the purpose still remains.. why not let the snarkpit host them?

How it works:

Leperous/Snarkpit will host up to 3.

You can host up to 5 with all external links.

actually, once i checked, you are both correct, and mistaken.

if lep grants him a pit, he can upload 5 and display them from the pit

i was mistaken, but i meant well.

Okay so months was a bit of an exaggeration, but it has been two weeks I only mentioned it was actually three because Rabid has posted a load more than that through the thread, so being able to host three of them here is of little consolation. [addsig]

unless, *refers to my last post* he has..... a pit

Duncan, i was gone for 5 days, and before that i was gone for 3.. one map is going to slide past me ever so often.

beside, i have lost most of my interest in maps for a time, till i get this Christmas computer thing out of the way.

at present, i still have not loaded hammer even once, and only played HL2 to the point where i met alyx..

Christmas is sure getting in my way

I'm pretty sure Lep closed off pit subscriptions quite some time before Rabid was a member though, so its not really an option. I wasn't trying to get at you for not commenting on the map or anything mate, was just trying to show that its understandable that the post has had so many replies despite the temporary lack of working screenshots [addsig]

and i only mentioned a pit, because lep was giving serious thought to re-enabling the option to acquire one.

i already have a pit, so i do not know if they are currently available or not.

but recently, lep suggested that he was going to re-enable them, cause of his recent bandwidth increase.

i too, was not having a go at anyone, nor attempting to create strife by posting inaccurate info.
