I don't play CS:S so I'm judging from screenshots, but it looks a little flat to me. From the little bit of CS 1.6 I've played it seems like CS relies heavily on being able to find cover. If you're marching across an open field with a group of hostages it seems like you would be an easy target in your map. I like the idea, though. Just try and make it more interesting.

im guessing you have not looked at the map all that close since you did not notice the big rocks and such to hide behind.

Those screens are 1.4 MB EACH! Do your self a favor and read this:

I'd suggest you never post anything over a few hundred KB at most.

:: eats your legs ::

The problem with dark maps is that gamma whores will make it bright as day while other players suffer.

Also, about the rocks being useful as cover - if that's true, isn't the layout essentially that of awp_map without the AWP's and rocks instead of blocks?

I noticed the big rocks. I'm talking about walls and buildings and corridors.

(looks at the skybox)

Um... Its outside?

If you walked the map you would see there is plenty of cover. Its very hard to get a clean shot off from one side of the map to the other.

Your lighting looks pretty awful, and you need to make the snow (?) outside into a displacement surface. You have a lot yet to learn about the Source engine my child (you could make a pretty decent looking stargate using displacement surfaces, I imagine!)

I have a good idea for you. The CT's start at Stargate Command (the SGC), where they run through the stargate, which is a teleporter textured with a blue looking water, which takes them to that place, where they must rescue hosties, and take them safely back to earth.

Had problems making the teleporter work. That was plan A.

I can't see a thing in those screen shots, I think the idea of a dark map is good, but you need to brighten it a bit. [addsig]

I think you think that you can get away with crappy architecture by making it dark... [addsig]

FT: I like the feel of how dark it is when you play. Its just dark enough to make NVG usefull but you can still make out the field of play and work without them.

But Myrk, the crappy architecture is the most well lit! (but i agree, most of it should be hidden in the dark. statement taken to heart, will work to make it better)

Brett: Thanks for the links. Ill check them out.

Thanks for the good feedback guys. I know i have a long way to go.

The map idea is really good (as im a fan of the show rofl) so when you have a newer version put it on a server so we can play

You need more lighting

The actual stargate looks nice but the rest leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing about this looks themed at all - it is only the stargate itself that lives up to the name. <br> <br>I'd suggest that for your next map you pick something more enclosed, as all these newcomers seem to be trying to make big open maps and all it ends up as is empty and featureless.
