Map Description

A small, simple fun map limiting weapons to melee (crowbar & stunstick) and slams. A few players having been asking for this sort of thing so I thought I'd have a go as my first public HL2DM effort. Supports teamplay with two 'camps' for rebels and combine teams.

The concept is bad. There isn't much fun to be had with just the three
weapons past the novelty value. The map itslef is also understandably
poor, but you use good techniques (nodrawing surfaces) and have started
to get some details into the brushes. I think you are on the right
track. :smile:

Yeah, very unnatural lighting. Try a more yellowy/orangy colour. ATM it's just making everything look really bland.

Oh what happened to your light? It's all white.

:shocked:

I believe he did compile with VIS and RAD, except that
light_environment is so bright that I could've sworn I was looking at a
full-bright map from the first screenshot. Set the brightness
between 150 and 200 to start with, and adjust as necessary.

lighting????

Try an env_light with the settings for color "230 230 200" and the brightness you can play aroudn with, not too bright though. Also compiling VIS and RAD are needed.

Overall nice work besides the lighting, most people have trouble with lighting at first so don't be discouraged.

I have no experience evaluating maps, but from the screenshots the basic archtecture looks good. However, it looks like the textures are stretched in some places, and some of the textures just don't fit. I don't know, wait for someone else. I don't play DM escept on the s-pit server.

Clean it up a little and it would be good.
