I can understand exactly why goldsource mapping has it's perks, as I map for the first Unreal which was released in 1998.
Although I have no regrets about moving to source, when I think about it i would rather make something awesome with something just good, rather than make something good from something old

Ah, that's cool.
A few months ago i was making this in Goldsource, but then my friends convinced me in porting it over to source.

If you ask me - HL mapping is more interesting than Source,because in GoldScr you have less opportunities-you have to make something nice with something old.But is always your choice.

I know how to work with Wally.Problem was that I edited the bar's texture,not the wall's and floor's texture.My mistake.I'll give it another try.

Sorry, i don't think there is an actual tutorial on this, I'm not sure how to better explain it.
Do you know how to import and export textures with wally?
Also, here is a shot of a new texture for the mod i am working on.
Which replaces this old texture:
But for some reason i am not totally satisfied with it, i don't know why.

By the way,I can make the same wall in GoldScr.Trust me.1 unit in Source=1 unit in GoldScr.I'm a mapper who is trying to make HD maps in GoldScr.Problem is that I can't make any bump.But I think the wall is quite nice.

Well, regarding TNKs' problem I was asking him whether he knew how to do it or not, I don't need to know how to do it :P
imho the texture looks featureless without those scratches, if i made them any subtler they would be invisible.

I've done it before but I can't remember anymore, I do remember though it's very easy to do.
As for the texture, it looks fine but it's probably a bit too wet/shiny looking for what your using it for, it almost looks like ice. Might want to tone the scratches down too, subtly is the key here I reckon.

I have made one nice shadow test.Give it a look:
Tnk, there is actually a way to get high detailed shadows in goldsource. This is what my map looked like before i ported it to source
PICTUREFINGYLOLZ
I'm not sure what method you used, but those shadows look razor sharp/hard.
Basically, the lower you scale a texture, the more lightmap quality you trick the engine into drawing; so a surface with a scale of 0.25 can have about four times more detailed lighting than a surface with a scale of 1.
But in order to do that without screwing up the appearance of a texture, you need to export the image somehow, stretch it to as high as possible, re-import it with wally then apply it to a surface in game and lower the size (so it will look normal as well since you stretched it for this purpose) and you should then get a surface with high lightmap detail, so then the engine can calculate its own shadows rather than have to improvise with artificial ones.
I gave it a try.But I failed.How do you do it?
