This is the second time somebody's done this, it may be a forums problem...

Anyways, this looks really cool, and I'd love to see it ingame. My only suggestion is to add more phys objects as it looks a little sparse from those screens.

I agree with Yak, looks great but needs a few more objects in there

there are a ton already, though they are in an orderly position at the moment. I'm not goint to spam the map with hundreds of physics objects. They lag servers, hinder player movement, and every noob on the planet will be doing that.

I didn't mean to spam the level with objects, but as it is, I can only see 3 barrels and 6 exploding barrels. There is some ground between ruling the gravgun out as a weapon, and filling the level with so many objects the players can't even move!

Uhm, indeed, you may want to edit that post to get it right...

Well, so far this thingie looks nice, promising. Though I think I'd like it more when it was brighter. But perhaps that isn't a problem when seen in-game.
I also think you could do more with height in this map. It kindof reminds me of an old DOS game called Bleus Brothers, the 5th level featured some heigh buildings and cranes. Could be nice to balance over small ridges and jump over swinging I-bars and such to get to a high-powered weapon. Adding some worker elevators and the like... yeah, I think you could use height to great advantage here... so far it looks like you have only 2 floors available.

As for phycics objects... I think there are too few of them. Don't spam it, but don't forget about it too, you know... Nevertheless looks like it'll become a good map. Keep it up!

sonic and i had some fun tonight. We decided to prove to you all there ARE physics objects EVERYWHERE and gathered some and put them in the cart. However the car proved to be too small so we moved to the truck. Even the truck couldn't handle the portion of objects we gathered. SO THERE.


and thats about maybe 1/3 or half?

Wow, that many? Boy it looks like a lot, I think you may have gone overboard. Think of all the physics spam you can do with 10 barrels and a bunch of breakable skids [addsig]

Ah, that wasn't really visible from the first shots, but hey, I think it's a good amount now. Well spread arount the map then, isn't it? Oh well, playtesting still has some function... [addsig]

Absouletely l33t looking.

Not to much to comment on really -- it's all looking real good.

If you can pull through with an easy to memorize, yet unique level structure

(not saying you can't!!) this will be a great map.

Also, I love the prop stuff in the truck

map looks great no problem there.

but about the physic objects, look at it this way. the gravgun is a wepon like any other, are you sure that no matter where in the map some one is they will be able to use that wepon? In the picture I see barrals and wood... you can put ALOT more/diffrent objects in there. Try adding some pipes or small I-beams. dont forget that you can turn your brush work into func_physbox and add objects that way. You dont need to just put random crap every where, but do go check out a build site, I see them all the time and there is random crap left everywhere. Wood, bricks, rocks, tools, extra tires, paint cans, garbage... etc etc.

also dont think you have to limit yourself, read the included info about hammer. it tells you the suggested max number of all prop types.

I understand the suggested max number of prop types. But when you play a map and you are getting spammed with objects flying everywhere it is not fun. I have just the right ammount of well placed physics objects. And the only way you will not find one easily is if someone makes it apoint in the game to grab all the objects and hide them in some corner. The map has already gone through extensive playtesting and I've found that the number of physics objects is just right.

Beautiful map.

SunLit Games has 2 custom map HL2DM servers

SunLit Source of Horrors (HL2DM) 67.18.13.94:27115

SunLit Source of Madness (HL2:TeamDM) 67.18.13.94:27125

We would be very happy to add dm_rebar.

The map's readme txt states "not for distribution" but we have autodownload enabled.

Do we need permission your permission to run it? And if so ... may we?

You know why I like this map? It's the first HL2 level I've yet seen that isn't wholly dependant upon props. What's more, it looks awesome. GG Valve map contest. [addsig]

I just had a run around it, and found it exceedingly good. Are you going to be putting any ambient sounds in? It's deathly quiet at the moment. I noticed that a good few of the pipe props are a considerable distance away from the walls they're supposed to be connected to. Good luck in the competition.
