Any comments other than finish off the cliffs and get a decent skybox are welcome. :smile: I know there's f**k all done so far, but it took me ages what with the cave and all.

Wow, I really like those recessed lights... :smile:

Liek Teh Ubaar!!!11~1

Only one suggestion: Trim textures on top of the brick walls (the pinkish ones)

BTW, What are the r's like in that shot? And I agree with Skeletor about the lights :dorky:

Aah yes thanks, they do look rather stupid with the same texture as the ground. :smile:

560r's in that shot, think the max I'll allow will be about 900.

Thanks for the comments. :smile:

'bout damn time dude....

and what about those cliffs, and that butt ugly skybox eh??.../runs like hell on fire... :heee:

Doc B.... :dodgy:

btw...i think it looks damn sweet dave....GJ :wink:

Maybe another enterence to that base on the bottom level, some sort of secret tunnel, or one team only rute...

Looks sweet

I'ma gonna have to learn you some cliffs boy

LOL,once you finish teaching me (which will take a while). Haha.

It's good to see you're mapping again A_S... now actually finish a damn map! :biggrin:

Looks good so far :smile: The pinkish walls and off-green lights might be a bit sickly when put together, but it's hard to be sure from one screen alone.

Custom textures?

...keep it up Brasso :biggrin:

Yeah, I'm gonna do that, trying to make a layout for the inside of the building now :smile:

I'ma gonna have to learn you some cliffs boy

Lurn me!

Looks great !

its looking great at the min a_s Id like to see more of it.

how far along on it are ya?...i mean....really? :heee:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Ya oughtta give it a day time look. Still have the light environment angle the same, but brighten it up a bit. I bet the buildings would throw nice shadows down on the lawn below...plus you'll be able to see the rock work better :smile:

Cass is kinda right about the rockwork. Its far from ugly, but it could use work. You should right up a tutorial cass, I'm curious if your technique is similar or different to mine. Anyway though, you should give triangle terrain a try for them I reckon, not only does it look better but it gives you good control over the polycount.

Otherwise its looking cool, a nice base entrance :smile:

Cool lightning... :eek:

The cliffs are made out of triangles Reno. They're all a bit uniform though, so maybe that's the problem. waiting for cass's tutorial too :wink:

They look as if they have been cleaved along the top by the axe of doom, which should be easy to avoid if you are using triangles. Vary the top height and it should make things look a lot better I'd imagine.

since that looks like an ingame shot, i assume you re-acquired your HL cd?

i never really cared much for areas with so many rocks in use, not because they looked bad (most did tho) but because of the r_speeds hogging value they leave you left with for building architecture. maps with a lot of rocks usually have dull buildings. try to have a blend, like your portion in the PitCrew map, accentual.

reno's rock in the pitcrew map were great, but it left us with small areas (suited to pitcrew but not your map i think)

hope that made sense, and for the record, i like the stock textures, i feel the map would look great with them, or not, the map will not suffer because of them IMO.

Obviously the rockwork has been mentioned - why not indentations/pillars/supports along the outer walls, just to give it a bit more of a "pizazz!" Also, is this the entry to a red/blue base (ie primary entry point) ? If so, get one of those castle/skull logos up, frame it on the walls accented with blue lighting. Simple eye candy, and helps the players.

Possibly looks a tad cramped, I hope you avoid the problems experienced by monkey_l and generic_mortality - where the doors used to turn into unplayable spam fests :/

Other than that, it looks nice - makes a change to have grass and bricks rather than water and the real basic 2fort textures :smile: Good work A_S, let me know when you have a playable version!

I like the interesting architecture. What's the theme, or background of the place?

I've actually perfected my rockwork style - no longer are there overlaps or 'guess alignment' on the textures. I had to, since I'm forced to rebuild Fool's Paradise from scratch.

NO WAY!

Why?

The RMF was lost due to my little brother's formidable stupidity - the bitch left a BLANKET OVER THE MONITOR and the processor burned out, leaving me with absolutely nothing that I hadn't uploaded to my webspace here...

Oh, that old chestnut...

Looks very good to me, I espeically like the rockwork. Well done! Looks like you've got quite a talent for mapping. :pimp2:

Use GetDataBack, cass.

On the monitor...processor somehow burning out, wha-? How would a processor burnout affect your HDD? Unless your whole computer lit on fire...

OR HE USES A MAC- KILL!
