This is almost done, I'm hoping to release it in the next couple of days. I just need to fix a couple of lights, add a couple more lights, and fix a problem I'm having with cubemaps. Any suggestions people could throw in before I put it out would be cool, outside opinions are always good. And if anyone wants to test it I have a beta running on my friend's server so you could AIM me at "yagieo". Or if you have a server you could toss it up on and you're willing to do that, let me know.

Cheers

P.S. Cubemap problem is thus:

env_cubemap used on world geometry without rebuilding map. . ignoring: building_template/building_template003l
Begin loading faces (loads materials)
End loading faces (loads materials)

I get this when loading the level in HL2DM. This texture being referred to is a gray stone building with a window that's broken. I have it on one small 2 story building. First I had no cubemaps around this texture, then I tried putting a couple around the building, then I tried making a cube map for each face and tying the cube map to that face. Still keep getting this error.

And yes, I did the "buildcubemaps" command. I'm not sure if it worked, though because after doing it I noticed that where a brush ends and another begins is much more noticable then before.

It seems a lot of maps these days are city based and i see yours and think it looks ok but its hard to explain but i have this weird feeling about your first pic like your buildings are floating around the map :/

All in all its pretty good i want to see it whats server ip?

Servers not up at the moment I guess, I need to talk to the person running it.

You're right, there are a lot of city maps. I think part of it has to do with the textures for HL2 being made for outdoors levels rather than the indoors labyrinth of HL1. Also, now it's possible for someone to make a pretty realistic city and that is pretty tempting to some people. This map started out as just the subway part and I thought to myself, "why not make it so you could go above ground". The city isn't very extensive and serves more as a backdrop to a mini-arena area. When I started this map at the beginning of December, most of the maps that were around were killboxes. Really in the last two weeks there has been a lot of city maps announced or released.

mouse, your power lines are too thick! put them down to about a "2" width. Think of your map as a beatiful girl. Now think of the power lines as her eyebrows. You dont want your woman to have huge bushy eyebrows do you? Hell,no! You love the finely tweezed eyebrows that only the most meticulous girl can have! [addsig]

LOL Nickelplate. I can't say I thought of my powerlines like that until you said that.

"Those powerlines look very Eastern European"

Wait, I don't get it. You're probably thinking of bushes, not trees... unless things are drastically different in Ireland

They are actually at 2 width in the picture, but I'm going to shrink em down to maybe 1 or 1.5, yeah.

If anyone wants to check it out AIM "yagieo", I should be on tonight.


And big bushes are grosssssssssssssss

Good map Little small for my liking, but everything else seems to be in order. I'd put the player load at 8 max personally, but definately should be played with 4 upwards.

Easy conversion to TDM (like we spoke about) as well.
