I'd like to have a game, but I can't host for some odd reason. We need to organise a time or something.
[edit] Just took a look at your screenshots, habboi. I must admit, it looks very nice. It will be a problem though. Your map appears to be huge. How are you going to put it in your little area? The second problem I can think of is the sky and light_env colour. Remember, we have to have only one for the whole map. Which means, in order for you to have your graveyard, all outside areas of the map will be in darkness. Have a little think tabout it.

I read it and thought it was very fair and extremely right!
So I wanted to remake mine and Trapt I didn't realise how small the room I chose was :S
Anyway I want to scrap my area and restart it!
I've been working on this graveyard map for the Nightfall mod team and I will take bits out of that because that has far better architecture than that piece of s**t I made in half an hour

I think honestly that this map is better and I will start converting later on when I have free time!
At least I enjoyed the beta and does anyone wan't to have a few rounds because it's more fun with other people!

Well. Honestly, it was disappointing. Perhaps I was expecting too much. Hopefully the completed version will be better.
A screen crit can be found here. Some people might think it is harsh, but I've had a people agree with me on most points.
If you are offended or whatever, just email me.
I really liked your area in the beta, Addicted to Morphine, and the new improvements look great.

set your spotllight to constant 500000 (this removes the inner angle so you dont get a crazy bright spot at the source) Liniar 1 quadratic 1 (not sure what it all does)
large outer angle and then your good to go.
and I like the truss too.

Try doing the spot lights in addition to normal lighting and lower the brightness of the normal lights.
The trusses look fine. The only thing that looks weird is their intersection with the wall.
Also, for the lighting. I would suggest using spot lights. But bright ones with large angles. There's the hanging lights and those huge skylights. There should be enough light.
Right now the lighting looks weird because those hanging lights look like they're illuminating upwards mostly. Some sort of beam like light (not actually though) for the skylights would be nice.
I'm just rambling though.

I had to do cheap water because the expensive water was giving me problems (having 2 bits of water at different heights within sight of each other). And as for mixing brushes, where exactly were they so I can fix them?
I've already made some changes. I added a door the make my area a Circle instead of a singly squiggly line. And I've attempted to break up the boring ceiling by adding a skylight. I also changed the light color to an orange... although it seems too orange at the moment, but I'll tweak it depending on feedback. What do you think of these changes so far?
Having added the skylight it seems the metal trusses/girder things look out of place. I liked them, but I may have to cut them out.
I tried adding spot_lights but the map became way too dark and I couldn't think of a reasonable way to light it up again. And then I tried point_spotlights but then the broken wall model was lit all funny. So I just kept the light sources normal lights. If anyone has tips on how to make use of spot_lights I would appreciate it. They did look sexy, but everything was too dark.

Thanks man. It's way too linear right now (hence... the corridor) but I'm trying to fix that problem.

I, personally, enjoyed your one, habboi, Area2. You had a cool solution to this... a bit of displacements, and a cool figure
But also the corridor, i don't know who made it though
