Thanks for the comments, I'm actually goign to give the fog a little bit of color like the orange fog in the dusk areas of the canals. I'm thinking of like a yellowish gold color shall do.

I will work on it more tonight.

Update: Did some geometry work, I also removed the fog, it was not working as planned. I need ot rework a few things and add in some extra areas and get a beta ready.

Those screenies are just beautiful, keep up the good work. I suck at creating 'realistic' environments so I'm waayyy jealous lol.

thanks man, I don't always have that creative kick to make awesome "un-realistic" [for lack of a better word] environments. I need to continue working on that but I was summonded to fix things for my Hl2CTF levels.

? quoting Atrocity

Thanks for your time.

Hey?!?! Thats my line. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Can I not convince you that if you cannot post decent sized screens at least post alternative screens?

377k is just asking to much and thats only screen #1.

Screen #1 looks sweet BTW, but the pages are just not worth the downloads TBH.




There is no history until something happens, then there is.

Thank you, thank you very much <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.


Just by looking at the screenshots I'd have to say the fog looks ok, but still needs work. I'm hesitant to use fog in any game, simply because it can be extremely hard to get it working right. It works about the best in indoor levels in general. I'm even more hesitant to use it in HL2 because it seems to interact oddly with the sky and models. But if you could pull it off it would definately be a feat <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.

Also the architecture looks pretty bland and quite odd in the last two shots. The first is looking really good, and it appears that there is no fog in use in that first screenshot. Like some others have commented it looks a bit generic HL2, but its pretty hard to get away from that atm using the supplied textures and models.

I think what makes the first two shots seem odd is that they are extremely empty and the placing of the huge bridge and little sewer type area together looks kinda strange. Obviously you haven't finished that area yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Just a warning though about large outdoor areas, the HL2 enginge doesn't like them very much, particularly if there is a lot of detail. While in the singleplayer game they did some large scenes, they were constructed primarily of big static meshes and lots of displacement surfaces. You should have no problem adding the larger details, but the small stuff will kill the framerate if your not careful.

Apart from that looking good <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed map, which should give a true idea of the fog area's. Maybe you could post some updated screenies if you have some available.

Well I have done a little geometry changes here and there and optimized somethings. I need to get some new pictures because I need to keep this thread alive, however I am being buried under my work for HL2CTF and not able to work on my HL2DM mork...... makes me kind of sad.

I can't find anything wrong with the screenshots shown -- show us an update so we can see how the maps progressing, 'cause I think everybody's pretty impressed with the screens you've been showing us :P

The map looks good, but the only thing I can think of is that the map is a bit lifeless. Since it looks as though you're debating whether or not to make it HL2 or HL2DM. Try to get a weapon sitting on the floor or something so we can get an idea of what the map will look in the future, or something.

Oh man. Don't remove that fog. That fog looks incredible. It may not help the photo-realistic goal though, but you are certainly on the right track. Second shot in particular has that &quot;wow&quot; effect. Looks amazing. You *must* finish this.

HeHe, thanks man. I'm actually debating on what I want to do right now. I through about making the map just that area you see with the train and the canal, and making a HL2DM map, or I was also thinking of re-working that area into a counterstrike map. I'm not sure what to do yet so any suggestions would be fine.
