drools ... DoD Source ...

Thanks Orph.

Like I said. It isn't perfect. I just don't have time anymore to work on it and being that HL2 is coming out with DoD: Source close behind, I don't really see the point in waiting to see if I might someday get back to it.

Well, personally Tracer I would have fixed a few things before releasing it, like that God awful water in the first shot, the sad looking bushes on the hill in the second, and the somewhat dodgy architecture in the third. The fourth shot looks great though and the fifth looks like the map has an interesting layout. Texturing could have used a bit more work, but its your call. Nice job over all, just me being picky. :biggrin:

dammit jim, i cannot remember this one :sad:

looks good though, shame i don't play dod

this one musta came along during my hiatis..

good luck TB

All good projects must come to an end whether they are perfect or not. I have come to the conclusion that I am as finished with this as I am ever going to get. I've done my best to respond to the critiques thrown my way and I hope many of you will have fun playing my creation. Thanks for the help.

The screens and DL link have been updated.

I'm not entirely sure what your getting at in terms of the rooves...

I definitely have some more cool effects planned. env_shooter here I come!

nice man, but I really dont like the roofs. They need a "trim" between them and the walls, will make things look less blocky. I like the atmosphere, but you need to add some more detail. I mean, the map is on the right track and well built, but needs that "OMFG!!!!1" factor :smile:

update











Changes that I can think of:

-1 new area to connect between the two main areas.

-Spawn protection

-1 man caps on 3 out of th four flags

-less glass

-some new roof textures for variation

-Tried to lessen the dependance on the overused mossy wall texture

-Screens taken at less than full gamma.

I've got to agree with Fraggard and Cassius on this one. The map is looking really good but the thing letting it down is the outdoor texturing, inside the church looks great.

There are plenty of good town textures around that look old but not, as Cassius put it, ancient. When creating realistic scenes for DOD in the HL engine, you have to rely heavily on the textures for detail and realism, as well as the brushwork and layout. My suggestion would be don't skimp on the textures.

Apart from that top job :smile: .

Nice looking brushwork, I like how the buildings are clustered together. The rocks seem a bit too jagged in screen 5 but otherwise pretty nice. Lighting seems appropriate but the sky looks a little dull. I think something with mountains might look nice. The texture overall looks decent but not great. The ground just seems wrong to me and in screen 4 the sidewalk texture looks over-simplified.
