Well it turned away from the basic architecture of datacore but here are a couple of screenshots (10 screenshots: 1.56 MB):

Ok I can see the similarity between the datacore dead-end bit and your map now (though you have gone for a far larger scale), but the new area with the shelves now leaves me baffled as to what area its based on Its all looking nice though, keep up the good work

The door on the right in the second pic down could have a bent/broken look?

Yea I have to change many parts of datacore to get a new style. The room with the shelves is a room with a big column in the middle @ HLDM's datacore. I had no idea how to re-design this room, so I created this one - well which is not finished yet.

Those arches should be made curvier, you can clearly see where the brushes begin and end. Also, think about breaking up the texture on the walls, I don't like the way the texture repitition looks.

I think this would work better if it was part-laboratory (some bits are obviously inspired by the SP levels), that way it wouldn't be just another crate warehouse!

I dont see the relation to data core, unless I dont remeber datacore... it was the one with the trip mines near the desk?

It looks good, but I do agree strongly with lep, it needs some variation.

I can see some influences from the Black Mesa East chapter of HL2, and if you continued in that direction you'd have a rather unique look that I haven't seen in many other DM maps.

This might sound strange but if you need inspiration on how to redo a classic HLDM map in the Source engine I'd suggest taking a look at dm_gasworksinc, as that is a stunning rendition of gasworks and what any remake should aspire to be.

It could probably use some lighting contrast and the floors and ceilings are all completely flat. It's looking good though.

All I see is the lab level from the alpha... If you wanna remake datacore then use a map decompiler so you can get the exact same scale, then rebuild it all from that. [addsig]

Looks good.

My only nit-pick / suggestion would be that the tile on the floor runs forever. I recommend breaking it up at the doorways and switching to other floors, like concrete in the storage areas.

Otherwise, it looks REALLY nice.

I'm thinking you should get the storage units there to cast shadows (and make more of an effort to make it look like they're bolted into the ground). I'd also agree with Supercrazy in that the floors and lighting look flat and need some love and attention.

BTW in screenshot 3 have you figured out how to make the scanning-laser-effect?

Unfortunately not. It took me hours to create this airlock without that effect

Looks pretty good so far, just a little bland on the ceiling and floor. You should add some props, pipes, vents... stuff that will fill up the room a bit.

I've no idea what area of datacore that is based upon...but it looks like a reasonable start and at least its using a different style smiley
