Map Description

This is my first CS: Source map and it has a couple of bugs which don't affect gameplay but look odd. I know about them but I have spent a long time on this map and many have told me to leave it as it is and just improve on the next map.

This is my fourth Source map - de_boshi has taken me 3 months and although I don't think it's my best work, it is a rather nice map and I wanted to get it out the way before I start other projects. It's set in an abandoned lab / warehouse with 2 bombsites. I believe it is more Terrorist friendly as they are quite near to bombsite B. It comes with a .nav for bots and is a rather small map. It should be played with a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 4. The architecture may seem slightly off. This map is dedicated to Adam Holt so have a great life from Will.

More opinions there...

A lot of people liked it and I thought I waited long enough to post it here.
I will make sure to improve the next time I make a map. Right now though i'm busy with Nightfallmod.net

EDIT For some odd reason the pictures are not uploading even though I have attempted twice now.

So here are imageshack links:

Huge improvement from other maps.

I meant avoid using the entity "point_spotlight" - the one that gives the beam effect - on strip lights, not avoid using light entities at all

Heh the mosaic was poor mate!
I make much better crap than that

Hence this

My best work so far

Anyway i'm glad you like it, I tested it with bots, 3 servers are currently hosting it because they like it.

By the way I started this way before the mosaic, in fact 3 months worth of work.
I spent an hour on mosaic...understand now

I purposely used the same texture for a reason.

What else can I use to light up a map?

Again i'm glad you like

edit There is a corridor that i'm afraid is very noobish! I had to quickly finish it which resulted in that poor area. Please excuse it!

I.....I don't understand. How can you make this and also that old contribution to the mosaic? Its just such a jump in quality it really leaves me rather speechless! Make sure all of your work is at least at this quality and you'll get a much better reputation.

If these two shots are indicative of the whole map, then I feel it could probably have used a bit more variety. As it is you have a fairly nice set of textures working together, but they appear to be used on ALL their relative surfaces (eg. one floor texture used throughout). You should also avoid using point_spotlights on non-point lights - strip lighting really doesn't look right with a spotlight originating from a single point. Pretty nice work judging by the screenshots though

Actually looks really good! Is the blur in the 2nd photo gas? I'd suggest taking off the download link as the final for now, leave a bit of play testing to be done first. Also I can notice from the screens that there are some jaggedy curves- you can use a special compile option to make curves look really good.
