Strike Point

Hey go to my profile and check out my map Strike Point. Everything is basic because I wanted to use regular HL textures and regular styled architexture. Its a really fun LAN map. I hope you guys like it.

Have your func_walls 'solid' and '255'.

It looks decent with the hl textures, but by your own admission it's somewhat basic.

I'd have the glass a little more transparent. Add some outdoor lights for detail and lighting variation. :smile:

Awesome use of that truck prefab in the background of pic2. The map gets my two thumbs up just because of it's use. :biggrin:

It looks rather nice for what it is, but it could use some variation. As A_S said some varied lighting might help, but I'd suggest going to www.gamedesign.net/prefabs and look for a cargo container prefab that has either yellow or green colored textures, i forget which. That'll help ad some variation.

[EDIT] ack, where did the site go? I don't know if that prefab is available at www.ejoop.com/prefabland/ oh well

eh, I dont really like it tbh. You can come up with some good halflife architecture with simply the textesua and theme. You dont have to basic and spamming the crates.

alien sniper those do have the 255 setting ot them its just viewing them in that program. Ferret i wasent trying to make a super amazing map, I had a plan of just like a crate yard and like a military style base, I wanted alot of fighting and I wanted to control the fighting by an airstrike, wasent susposed to be anything spectacular. I mean to all of youthanks for your contructive critisism but the plainness of the map is pretty much how i wanted it. I can make maps with uber detail and cool textures [ if i somehow get my hands on some ] but this project was just to have a map that would be a blast to play at my college LAN parties.

Looks great 5/5, but how are you able to view it in that manner, where can I get that program?

Thanks dude, Its called bsp viewer if you cant find it at www.google.com then meet me on icq or something and ill get it to you, o and ill be uploading the map soon.

Looking good, very stable looking map and good arciticture.

Thanks I was told that it didn't look to well so im going to revamp it and then release it. Its mainly based for gameplay.

Throw in some coloured lighting before you release it bud.

There is orange colored lighting in the basement garage level and the bottom of the bunker. The outside is suspsoed to be dark liek night time perhaps I will brighten the light post then.

you guys will just have todownload it when i release it i updatedalot of things to make it funner.

try a different wad set then halflife.wad, but nice construction

He said he wanted to use the original textures bud. :smile:

yeah i wanted to use the basic textures i updated the pictures too check them out.

The map is finally finished I htink im going to try to learn how to run metamod or what ever to start a server so people can test it out. The server will be [AIP] Murder Is An Art

I know no one is reading this but if you are and you want to play strikepoint you can play it here when i have the server up 192.168.0.100:27015

I'll give it a try when I'm not sick. SOrry mate but I came down with something and I can't afford to skip out on work no more.

its cool thanks for caring.

I care for everything :smile: esp my girlfriend and mother!

lol i agree. I want people to get on there and test out the map. i need to set me up a website too.
