In the 1st pic is there a hole between the rock cliff edge and the building which is seeping light?

this room/area.. its a box, with stuff tacked to the inside walls, not Incorporated into the room, but glued to the walls ans such.

make alcoved for the valves, make indentations in the ceiling for the door.. make the floor multiple elevations, in other words, don't just attach everything to the pre-existing walls.. make them look like they belong, not added to fill in space.

Totally true! The space should be more animated. But I like the ambiance in the images, your choice of textures, and the lighting. Good work! :smile:

ok...so i have taken all of ur comments into thought and changed my mind, i have taken the download link off [well just about to ] and will edit the map over the next few weeks.

TBH Mapping is harder than it looks as i have now found out.

lol okies, thanx,

/face goes red with n00bieness

thanks for those great words of wisdom orph, but what do u exactly mean by :quote:but poorly executed so to speak.:unquote:? so that i can improve up on in my next map

It's [*quote] and [*/quote] without the stars to get the quote box. :smile:

"Build the room around the contents" I think is the gist, rather than building big rooms and putting things inside :smile:

yeah, what he said :smile:

its a fairly simple concept, but kinda hard to make a reality..

It feels a bit too HLDM-like, try using more CS textures as they usually look better than HL tex's.

The lighting in the orange corridor near bomb site B is extreme, for light_spots set the Inner Angle to less than the Outer Angle to get a fade at the light edges, try 24/96.

The env_beam rain sprites aren't too noticeable. Replacing them with an animated rain sprite would prolly look a lot better and take less time to do. Jinx has a nice one on his site - http://www.cryotank.net/

Try and make the next map a bit more realistic as the better CS maps seem to have more real world type buildings, vehicles, layouts etc.

cool, thanks, a bit puzzling but thanks anyway :smile:
