Pictures?

Hey habboi, i know, pictures are supposed to show, but they arent, i think i must post URL pictures...

Did someone just scream 'prop-filled, bland, boring box with plain lighting, surrounded by poorly done displacements'?

Because if they didn't, I just did.

As a side note: do these maps need to be 'playtested'? I think common sense says that all maps with the layout of a box will play the same.

(sorry for sounding like an asshole, but it needed to be said.)

The ligthing is very boring, also as traps said, it's jsut a box with some props and a wall around it.

i'm was going to say i'm glad you textured it right , but it's props, they already are textured.
This map is defenatly not completed

Im just doing a remake of cs_c0ck, which i doubt anyone played it so..uhh i think the map doesnt belong here...=\
Becuase as i said, its not an official map, so dont expect traps\doorways\inclosed areas and stuff, ITS JUST A REMAKE...
And what mostly took a long time to do is the explosion of that house, and effects and stuff...
But thanks for your comments anyway =\
Its just for fun =.=, Sorry but i didnt know that every map here should be perfectly official...

Maps don't have to be "official" to be posted here. In fact, "official" usually means something that came from Valve directly, and I assume we all don't work for Valve.

But we expect mappers to put in a lot of planning and creativity when a map is posted here. A map that's put together in a day usually doesn't qualify as a well thought out map.

Take a look around the map vault, and you'll notice that the amateurish maps are all criticized as such. If you just want to make a map for your neighborhood LAN party, then perhaps you should keep it on your HDD.

At the SnarkPit, it's almost like a gallery where serious mappers want to show off their craft.

Yeh , lots of mods and even some companies look at sites liek snarkpit for new upcomming talent ( or so i hear.... )so posting maps like that realy isn't good for your reputation and also for the pits rep, usualy when i post a map these days ( witch is not very often. ) i realy plan it all out and try to have a nice section or 2 finished or near completion before i release it so i can get good critiques on it and that way improve it.
posting maps like this only envokes flaming and comments like 'blocky' or 'bad'.

Oh i see...

Ah ignore them Dark, what they say is true, but you've improved since the last time I saw you

[Updates] !!
New screen shots + New download file, this one rocks

Hey guys,

This is one of the other maps i did lately, it was half-undone, looked messy, i didnt like it..

But here i fixed the skyboxlightning and other stuff too..

I had comments saying that this is a small BOX map, like a killbox, but
acutally, i just made a remake from a cs_1.6 map called cs_c0ck...But
added other stuff, in that version, there was a barrel in the middle
which you can shoot to explode and break boxes beside it, in this
Source version, i made it well, a house instead :biggrin:

-Please comment, and tell me what to fix and add :smile:

... So you made a map that consists of an exploding house? ...

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I remember cs_c**k. It was one of the first DM type CS
maps. I remember the hostages being really far up and unreachable.

I also remember random furniture and boxes. It was an awful map.

Make something new DK! Don't remake crap :smile:

I was bored lol, but hey, school really doesnt give me anytime to do
anything...Thats one of the reasons why i cant do MASSIVE maps, i dont
have time for them, i only got time for crap :biggrin:

Oh and if I'm not mistaken, there might already be a map with this name. Perhaps its a DM map though.

Yeah there is, and its mine :biggrin:

dm_abandoned...lol

.::Dark|Masta::. - One name. One legend.

Hmm, I like the new lighting, it has definitely improved. Much fresher look now.

But there's something odd about this map. It's a square concrete area,
but in the middle it's broken and just there you placed a hut? It has a
weird sense of place, I can't imagine this would be set up like that in
reality.

I think the 3D skybox (or at least, those rocks there) look out of
place, it feels like a single area without entry which is odd. It's
also quite empty with some props thrown in rather than being placed
with thought or logic.

All in all... you could do better than this. Much better. :smile:

Create-ivity - a game development blog

Yeah, i know i that i could, but this map was done by a request from a
guy who owned a server, so i made this one, as he told me to, well,
atleast he liked it, he doesnt know what real mapping mean, but if i
had the chance to map for real, wow, i could do ANYTHING...But, i dont
have enough time !! :sad:
