Map Description

A set of maps with the single goal to kill the g-man at all costs.

Having secretly gained access to a train into the generator complex of the Canavaral research facility (Yeah... I'm not much for names), you must work your way first through the old power complex to reach the main lobbies. The G-man is your target, and he must be erradicated at all cost to prevent him from doing more damage. Persue him above anything else, and destroy any loyalists by his side.

This is basically a mini-mod in a way (No customized coding) that I started back in December and am attempting to complete aboot the time Half-Life 2 is released (Although if I can't, I will put it into HL2 and update it to all the new features) so that I become re-accustomed to mapping after a long break. I have only spent 5 of the last 9 months working on it (December-February/June on the first 2 parts, July on third, August on 4th), and am gaining experience to the point that I was able to complete the 3rd part to my liking within 3 weeks (I will let everyone playtest the 3rd once I get the pos to compile... It'll take it a good week to do so on my machine).

Anyways, I'll post more screenies soon

So far there are 4 levels, with promise for at least 3 more.

Map 1: 90%
Map 2: 85%
Map 3: 98%
Map 4: 45%
Map 5: 0%
Map 6: 0%
Map 7: 0%

August 13: 2 new Screenshots from my current work on the first battle in the 4th level (The earlier level are puzzles and the abandoned complex). The 3rd screenie shows some incomplete texturing on the floor and the upper walls.

August 14: Go to the 69th Vlatitude forum to downloadthe 1st part and the 4th part (Whats done) for a sneek peek and playtest it to see if I've set it up as a mod correctly and included all the files.

August 19: Lots of new screenies on the board for this map. Look at them immediately! :D

Hazaa, new screenies (2)

Man I wish I could put more than 3 up here. Oh well.

Second screenie of the window has the door open to show where it is, and the frame on that window like Alien Sniper said.

As for the last screenie, it shows the forst I'm working on in the back ground, and the squad leaders for the grunts that will begin the big battle. There's a mini turret behind the walled in stairs, there is no light on the wire infront of the camera (It dangles).... Hazaa!

If nobody saw in the maps page for this map, there is a download available that includes the first one and fourth one.

Fourth isn't finished, and the first needs some major updating, and a recompile to get those Kami-Platinum textures in it, as well as more eye-candy.

They also act as ladders when you get to the top and throw a momentary switch that holds a door at the bottom open long enough to allow you to slide down them, but not run down the stairs. (Which is what those security guards are up by those switches for... Yeah I know, confusing)

That last screen in particular looks pretty darn good. Having the lights hang down from the ceiling like that is a great way of adding shadow detail.

Ah yes, good plan. I guess you're refering mostly to that second screenshot since the subway has no window (It always would screw up and freak out), and the third shot's windows are basically framed.

Doesn't look too bad at all bud. I'd encourage you to put actually frames a few units thick around your windows and doors.

lol

But if I made a ferris wheel it'd have to be realistic and never let you off

I totally thought that was a misspelling of "Carnival Research Facility" and I was gearing up for some good ol' deathmatch on the Ferris Wheel.

I'm not confident in my mapping skills

In fact, I go straight to the toilet to vomit it up after finishing it xD.
