Map Info

Map Description

The map is based on an island off the coast of City17. Smaller than it looks. For the Valve mapping contest.

Map download here:

I have also released the source .vmf file for public use, which you can download here:
http://maze5.net/wp-content/uploads/dm_island17_vmf.zip

I mainly intend this source file to be a teaching tool for helping mappers learn how I achieved certain effects. However, feel free to use this source as you see fit. If you want to include parts of Island17 in your map, that is OK. Just give credit where credit is due.

Check your email. I'd be happy to try to help but I may not be of much assistance since I haven't mapped in a long time.

Nick, when you get time I really need to gab at you about some of the things you did in the VMF.

If possible we need to chat in real time. Lemme know when will be good for you.

"Not really sure whats up with the cubemaps problem"

I know im like 2 years late, but just sharing information here.

The only way i can get my cubemaps to work after building them ingame is to type retry, this immediatley crashes my hl2.exe to desktop but when i load back in they seem to have worked.

Disconnecting and reloading the map doesnt make them work for me for some reason, anly a retry (then crash) then reload game and map. Strange to say the least.

The joys of hammer and source ;)

Played on this map plenty of times, has quite varied, vertical gameplay which is cool and rather different, plenty of little details and looks really great. Very fun to play; a great map!

Also props on releasing the .vmf source file - I know most people don't want to do this and I entirely understand it, but it's quite respectable that you did. :)

Great map, plays well and I really like the setting and lighting (Brightness is good for a change)

Not really sure whats up with the cubemaps problem. There are definitely cubemaps in there, you can download the source .vmf file and check yourself. Any more details on the problem? Screenshots?

I'm not going to re-release the map, but it would be nice to know what the problem is for future reference.

Thanks.

One of my favourite maps for HL2DM. The only thing that really distracts me is that there are no cubemaps. It's strange to see a non-existing sunset mirroring on my gun.

I've seen this map on almost every HLDM server on line. WOW, I didn't know you were here at Snarkpit.

We run this map in our rotation and recommend it for your server. It has good game play, handles lots of players, is fun to play and looks great!
