aha, i love the glass window-floors. i used to have them in px_shockwave and i'm going to re-implement them in a new project. really nice. 1 more personal suggestion: lose Breen 
i agree there should be something light there like a tv screen but i think Breen is too HL2SP

One of us needs to be really glad that those were worth the wait.
My suggestion. Using that quantity of darker textures it might pay to have either more light, or less.
I prefer a bright cheery map setting, but lots of spotlights at night would be great too.
Maybe you could have a day and a night version. Two maps for the price of one.

Ive got a friend ho's working on some custom windows right now, hopefully theyll turn out even better. Breen is very temporary, he is going to be replaced with commersial or some sort of public messages from the city council.
Im using grey developer textures at the moment. As I said, im trying to get custom textures.
The lighting is very much work in progress. I will definitly add some more light in there somehow, its way too dark.
Progress:
Ive added more detail to the 3D-sky, lots of detail has been added to other areas aswell. Ive also added stuff that will "tell" the background story of what has happened to the place. Im planning on having datapads with small info icons over them, and when you press "E", you can read a message. Each one of them will tell bits and pieces of the story about what has happened here. If you read them all you will get a pretty clear picture of what has happened and what is going on.
Im planning on adding this to give the map more depth, and let serious players who wants to know it all having fun looking for them. Some will be easy to find, but wont tell very much either, others, more hidden, will tell more "valuable" info.
What do you think of this little idea? Is it good or bad?

I think it's a great idea. A scavenger hunt for information
sounds like a fun way to flesh out and develop the map, for those who
are interested.

Allright, time for an update.
Ive been working on making the map playable aswell as adding contrast, detail and lighting into the level.
Since barely have any new textures in the map, ive useed the orange dev-textures as contrast to the grey ones. I think it looks kinda nice. Perhaps going for orange steel? What do you guys think?
Ive also had a friend make two textures for me. The first one is the glass, the second is a very dark texture used in an equally dark elevator shaft.
Personally, i think theese textures is top notch, looking veery nice =).
As mentioned ive been working on making the lighting more bright, however i guess some of you will still think the map is very dark. Lets just say that I havent forgotten about you, I'm still working on it!
The 3D-sky has become even more bigger and nastier. The highest building in the 3D-sky is actually very close to the maximum size that Source can render. Its still a bit undetailed, but with some cutstom textures and more work on it, it will probably look cool. I tried using func_smokevolume in the 3D-sky to create a cloud effect, however that didnt work at all. Ill try to use the models used in
Counterstrike Source to simulate clouds, if possible. As mentioned ill try to add flying vehicles here aswell, but that completely depends on if that is possible to do inside the 3D-sky.
Ive also been working on making the map playable and I think im done with that, however i will not release a playable alpha before I have done some
playtesting with my friends, but expect an update with a fully playable alpha, with weapons and spawnpoints, soon. Working on making the map playable is the main reason why you havent heard any updates until now.
Heres some fresh images:
Added contrast, brighter lighting and more buildings in the 3D-sky
More contrast here aswell. The picture is taken from a platform that is newly made aswell. More spotlights has been added aswell.
This area wasnt detailed at all before, and has gone through quite a remake. The boxes in the image will be replaced with more appropriate stuff later on.
A quick overview, more contrast added aswell as brighter lighting.
Heres another overview of the playable area. Here you can see the custom glass texture aswell as more spotlights and more contrast.
Well, guess that was all i have to say to the time being.
As Ive said before, I LOVE feedback. I promise to take everything you suggest into consideration.

Nice file sizes.
2 Things.
What is that tree growing out of? To dark to tell.
I also cannot tell but think you could add true scale and height if you took some of those spires and added them to your skybox. Make it look as tall as Coruscant from somewhere down below.
If you already considered the skybox idea and I didn't catch it, ignore this post.

If you're wondering about flying vehicles in the 3D skybox you can try and figure out how they did it in the newest DoD:Source map.
Also -- it's looking really nice man. How much of the final playable area will be indoors? Or will it only be this main outdoor area?

I like it, but I feel that your "buildings", so to speak, are a little... well, flat.
I realize that it might be the dev textures that you're using that may be causing this -- since they seem to consist of solid colors, a number or two, and white lines But I'm saying that your buildings
seem to lack any fine detail or extrusions from them. An example
(not saying you need this specifically) would be window sills, or maybe
bars around a window -- for whatever the reason would be that you
needem'.
But then again, since it looks like a citadel themed map, it may perfect, if that's what you're making

Looking very cool, reminds me of Stargate Atlantis. As far as flying
vehicles go it is possible to make props move on a path, very much like
you could do with brushes in hl1, which is how they got the bombers to
fly in dod source. Don't ask me how though, I don't have a clue .
Keep up the good work, its certainly looking impressive.

I dont have DOD:Source, but hopefully, the sourcewiki has some info about it.
The indoor areas will be like 1/3 of the map roughly estimated. I have taken pics of almost all indoor areas if you take a look here:

Thanks for the feedback, and yes. The buildings look a bit flat, however i dont dare to add detail until the map has been tested on slower machines
than my own. Right now, the map contains MUCH more polygons in the outdoor scenes than you can cover with one screenshot, so its hard to show.

Never seen Stargate Atlantis, but thanks for the kind words anyway =).
Is it possible to have brushbased things flying on paths aswell as props, like the func_tracktrain?

I just tried it out and it looks quite monumental. It's still hard to
imagine what it will look like in the final version. It seems to be
quite texture-reliant so make sure you don't underestimate that part (I
only see orange room textures yet)!
The layout looks very fluent. Maybe too fluent for my taste, it feels more like a Quake 3 map than a HL2 one in the middle areas. But that's just a matter of taste I guess![<img src=]()
" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
One more thing about the "cloud city" theme. I found it hard to really see "clouds" in the foggy area on the ground. Maybe if you open up the skybox more, so you could see larger parts of the horizon and how high you actually are this could help to establish the "high in the clouds" theme more!
Anyways, it already looks very promising!

Just saw the new pics. Looks really good. Get some nice custom
texturing in there (or make a new set from HL2 textures. that's always
fun) and get it finished! Nice work.

Someone sugested that the buildings in the map and 3d box had a function like a mall, office etc. I agree 100%
If your are going for that dark look, may I suggest that you take a look at the movie "Blade Runner"

Time for another update!
Ive been experimenting with alot of colors back and forth, aswell as learning how to make textures.
Right now ive been stuck with the warm ones orange, red and so on.
Ive also changed the ambient light to a more blueish one. Feels like a good contrast to the warm lights I added.
Everything is very experimental, so please say what you think of it.
I have added a bunch of spotlights to the left, aswell as given them a cold blue color.
Works pretty well with the red i think. The "bridge" in the lower part of the picture has
gotten blueish lights aswell.
As you can see, ive added colours here aswell. Im not sure about the red ones though, i think i will make them more orange.
The orange spots are too small, or too few i think..
Here is an overview, the big tower in the middle is very grey compared to the rest, ill change that.
The red lights in the middle looks a bit out of place i think, probably going to make them more orange aswell.
Here is a sample of an orange texture my friend made, i thought it was quite cool with gold-like metal so i added them.
If theyre going to stay there they need some more detail though.
Ah, heres some result of my texture struggle. To the left is a failed attempt to bumpmap. To the right is a crate texture i made..
Im afraid it would have looked alright seven years ago.. Hopefully ill improve =).
Ah, finally another overview. The red spots are quite nice i think, aswell as the smoke above them.
Im planning to add more smoke from other chimneys in the map later on.
