This is a map that i have been working on for the past three weeks.
Its a small sci-fi 1 on 1 map for HL2:DM.
Its made mostly for portfolio purposes, but plays quite well.
Textures are made by PhilipK.
I regret that I did'nt post it any sooner since I got some good feedback that I could have fixed if I did.
Lesson learned, thanks for all the feedback.
I have only made some small fixes since the beta.
A spawn issue with the shotgun aswell as some texture alignment and sharper shadows.
As long as you've been here, and you remember us in hindsight. :/

Nice little layout and specially nice looks. There is so much eye candy that it's impossible to look somewhere and not find a little architectural detail or a great lighting effect over a nice texture.
That same thing could also be a reason that makes it a bit hard for me to know where I am in the map, since the geometry, textures and lighting look good and similar throughout the whole map.
I would rate it an 8 or 9 because I'm not specially fond of tech maps like the ones we see countless times in Unreal. But as a fellow mapper I can see that your effort was worth it and you achieved your goal perfectly.
P.S. While technically much more polished than your previous map, this one is not as great as a concept.

[22g said: hooligan|uk]Hmmm yes quoting,well even posting seems a bit of a mission on here.Why ya gotta change font colour all the time????just seems a tad odd.And when ya do quote whats with all the funny red lines that show up???
Anyway MisterB,we've already added this map to our small maps server.And so far its gone down a storm.
Cheers:)
Update your java script mate, or disable java scripting in your user options.
Missing props could be because this map isn't the typical hl2dm theme, most props don't fit with this theme, maybe you could look at some kind modeler with puppy eyes to make you some neat props, or improvise something with the existing ones. Unless ofc you can use maya or something yourself. :smile:

I had a closer look. Apart from a few texturing errors around corners, I couldn't see a flaw in the brushwork and lighting. Everything is very awesome-ish.
But then I noticed there are no physics props. Seriously, that's bad style. Physics gameplay is the biggest thing that this game has to offer and simply ignoring it is... I dunno. Looks are fine but item-placement forces the map into Quake DM gameplay which doesn't do the game justice.
I did read that it was made for portfolio purposes, but if you like this going beyond shiny looks, think of some physics gameplay.

very,very nice map.It not only looks good,but it has decent FPS as well.Which seems to be a rarity these days :smile: Shame theres no props to throw about,but ya cant have everything I s'pose.Plus it could be a gnats c**k bigger,maybe a outside bit and a couple of rooms.
As its a tech demo,have you added 12 or more spawn-points.Cause I really wanna add this to the 22g small maps server.
Anyway cheers for a great map and keep up the good work :biggrin:
