The latest bsp, play it, and tell me what you think...

there is music and stuff, and buttons too...the numbers on doors isnt a bad idea..

just please test it for now :biggrin:

Characteristic... well, Google for some hotel images or visit hotel
sites. Whatever, just make sure you get some reference stuff. Right now
I could say a reception bar, a hall with elevator access and that,
rooms with number on their door, things like that. Anything that makes
people associate it with a hotel...

I made it hl2 singleplayer, but it made itself HL1, dont know why...

The opening to a fan with a white sprite is like an opening through the
roof, and the red lights, i just felt like adding different lightning,
so i can test how lights could reflect, and for the textures, i didnt
find any texture that matches what i got in mind, and i wanted to
remind you that the dirty walls in the first couple of pix are the
abandoned part of the hotel, there are 2 rooms you should enter to get
to the other hallway, but freewebs sucks, and didnt upload the
pictures, so ill do tommorow,and for the charaterstics, can you tell me
what may i add?? :biggrin:

Nice HL map... :wink:

Lighting looks good, except for the last shot - too red for my taste,
and it's not clear what sort of area that is supposed to be. The third
shot shows almost nothing either (you can't tell how that light fits in
with it's environment now). The rest looks good though.

Area's still feel empty but I assume you're working on that. Overall,
it doesn't really feel like a hotel - it's too generic for that. I
think the textures work against you here as they were used for most
appartment area's in HL2 and that's what people associate them with.
Add some characteristic hotel area's to give it more sense of place.

Looks nice so far. The door frame (?) in pic #4 looks a lot like a pillbox slit. Nice.

I will wait until you upload these pictures cause it sounds good and I would like to see before the D.

Of course you can change the speed - look at HL2!

Unfortunately, the doors are models, so you can't change their speed (i think).
I dunno about the ammo bit. The map is kinda close quarters, so i thought shotguns/grenades would be more useful. But i know that there is nearly no ammo for the SMG and the pulse rifle. So i might update the map to have a bit more. Thanks for the suggestions.

Always found i needed health more thatn ammo on hard ;-)
