Map Description

This is my first hl2dm which I think is good enough to release.
It's a sort of rural / farm based map.

The download is for the first beta version.
Screenshots are of the 2nd beta which is currently in progress.

Also:

Errors I've fixed are:
  • Lines in the skybox.
  • Missing texture under the cars.
  • Grass sprites in the skybox
  • Wheelbarrow shader
  • Ceiling of the house.
  • The huge shadow by the farmhouse.
  • Couple of smaller errors
Improvements:
  • Covered up all the visible displacement map seams.
  • Tripled the amount of terrain in the 3d skybox.
  • Changed some of the props and amount of them in the kitchen
  • Added ceiling supports and reduced the room size in the farmhouse.
  • Added slightly more detail to the farmhouse.
  • Some more trees.
  • Working gas canisters.
Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks

puts on sunglasses the first pic is a little bright don't you think? In the second pic where the fence goes over the dent in the ground, the fence should bend down into it.

I like the fence in screen2. I like the "dip" under it -- but the only thing that looks wrong about it, is how the fence seems physically uneffected by the dip :razz:

It should probably sink just a little -- or put something under neath it to suport that fence!

Overall, it looks very good :smile:

<DIV class=quotetext>Meh, it's still a reduction by half :smile:

Check back in a minute or two.. gonna have a look around the map.
</DIV></DIV>

tis why i put the smiley.. it was an effort.

the XAT link really needs to be put back in the place of the other program that replaced it.
it was there originally, and still proves to be the better of the two for this one task.

Resize your pics... they are stupidly large
Posted by Gwil on Sat Jan 1st 2005 at 10:20pm
Please in future post smaller screenshots of around 50-80kb each. JPEG
Optimisation tools are available (and linked at the new topic page!)
and easy to use.

200kb+ screenshots aren't too great for our 56k members :smile:

Just a heads up from your local friendly moderator :smile:
