Vernazza

Looks nice but...

DO NOT POST YOUR PICS LIKE THAT!

That horizontal serries is going to get you some serious flak. try a vertical arangement. People will be much more friendly :wink:

Ugh - somebody break up this post. I refuse to comment until this is done, and I hope everyone will join me in this.

Yikes this mod still exists? Nice looking map though, perhaps you should make a CS/HI version as well?

horizontal? theyre listed vertically for me...ill try adding breaks in, sorry but it looks normal to me.

ok, sorry about that, firefox was aligning them vertically and i didnt think IE would screw it up, fixed.

It's because they're using Internet Explorer. (As in Mozilla is showing it breaked)

It might have something to do with the default wrap settings in IE, or IE doesn't apply wrap settings to tags.

????????????

I don't have any problems at all ...

the map looks very authentic, good job.

2 things,

1) what engine you making this for?

2) post some screens with r_speeds on, if its for HL1

the sight lines are way to long, lets hope its for HL2

very clean design though i must say :smile:

its for half-life rally.

its thunderstorm!!

ore korny has changed the name.

so does this mean your goign to release it soon, after months of waiting.

That looks really good. The architecture is relatively simple, but the textures and the lighting are almost perfect.

If I were you I'd take a couple of those house textures and adjust the colours so you have more variation. Very nice though.

Fokker, this mod is quite populair considering hl is not as popular as it was.

nice map kornybizit!!

I'm with A_S on this one - the layout and building designs are nicely
done but the entire place looks drab due to lack of colour. The flat
lighting is understandable due to the setting but combined with the
lack of colour in the textures it makes the map look a bit flat and
uninteresting. Perhaps a little more greenery in the gardens of the
houses could help also, if you can afford to add in some.

Looks very good despite these shortcomings though, has great potential :smile:

It's nice how everyone in the entire town share the same type of door.
Some people couldn't afford footpaths though and have to walk through
the grass to get out of their gardens. :smile:

HL1 orph, Half-Life ralley. The mod uses micro technology, which means normal size objects are actually super small. For instance, Gordon's foot is about the size of a car in this game -- nothing is "actual size" as to what you're used to. More track, and more r_speeds to have :smile:

And damn! That track looks amazing, better than any of the official tracks! Please tell me there's a few interesting things, or "landmarks" to add some spiff to it :smile:

Then that would mean that those sidewalks are about 1 unit thick. Are you sure about this micro technology thing. It sounds like mapping would be hard and you would get high ass r-speeds.

I'm positive. And the average sidewalk in hl-ralley is infact about 1-2 (mayber 3) units thick. Anything bigger and the car just bounces right off of it.

lets assume blue is right for a moment, if this fella post some screens and the r's are about 500 or less we will know his theory holds water.. line sights that long in normal HL will be 1000+ at least.

/me wants ingame screens with r's turned on.

a footwalk would be about 16-32 units thick!

and the mapping is easy, lots of vm

imagine the road is 128-256 units thick if korny hasnt scaled the textures down.

Looks nice enough, but it seems a bit empty. Consider shaving polys off various small details in order to focus on larger ones, like more landmarks. I see a few opportunity for optimization, like in balconies (just make the railing section 1 brush; HL2 maps do it this way in the City 17 areas and no one notices anyway). Speaking of landmarks - maybe like a lighthouse, bridge, waterfall or something? Right now it seems like an empty cookie-cutter ghost town, no offense.

Pretty solid work though. Barring any gameplay problems, I would say you have to just polish and polish to make it look more lively.

I am right.

:razz:

A_S is defintately right about the textures, I like to stay under 4mb
of textures. although I might consider going up to 8mb so it has more
variation and color.

As for the landmarks, this is only the city section of the map, it runs
through various farms, over bridges, through tunnels, etc. Also to give
it more life, I'll be populating it with plenty of spectators and
advertisements.

I would post the r_speeds but they are a little higher now than they
will be when the map is finished. This was compiled just to show
aesthetics, and was done with fast vis and a large skybox. I would
estimate final wpoly to be around 600, with 900 at the very most in 1
or 2 places.

And yes, the sidewalks are only 2 units high and 32 wide.

i was right :razz:

So you would map to about 1/4 of the usual scale... sweet :biggrin: .

That'll be handy considering I'm going to try my hand at HL Rally mapping. Does anyone know where to get the fgd, my copy of the mod doesn't seem to have it.

www.hlrally.net

i'm guessing here now, but it seems korny's reply didn't translate into dutch very well, so pepper decided to post the same site..

scratches buttocks

yup, must be a transitional thingamabob

i did not see his reply.....

Thanks guys, muchly appreciated :smile: .

You need to download the custom micro hull as well. Or else, Hl-Ralley will crash/car gets stuck on the ground. Should be on HL-Ralley's site. :smile:

Very much agreed

damnit ballblue changed his avatar, now I need to change his wanted sign on my site

The map looks good :smile:

I can't see any difference in his avatar... or perhaps the boy in it had his mouth closed before... hmm, bizarre...

It's really creepy and effeminate.

I second this notion. Make it something cool and awesome like a picture of me.

That doesn't really look like vernazza...

It's not supposed to be an exact replica of Vernazza. The name was suggested by a friend, and when I checked out the town I found that it did look similar. The real town of Vernazza and this map are both very crowded and share similar architecture, although the real Vernazza is a lot more colorful

My original avatar was Shinji Ikari. The new guy is Kaoru Nagisa. Atleast I think that's how the name is spelled :smile:

See I'm soooooo glad I didn't know the differences on that crap. Since like... yeah thats wasted knoledge lol!

Reminds me, I'm making this board game for class and my group decided on making it based upon stealing other people's s**t, beating eachother up, and completing destructive missions like spray painting balls on the water tower. Any hoo the point is one of the "gangs" is the math club and the fat dude has sweats on and anime all over his shirt. I think we can get Mr. Blueball's avatar on there if I tell the character illustrator soon enough. She'd laugh her assoff. Back to making the vector images for this f**king board. Damn the man.

can you hear it?? huh?!?! can you???

damn you ferret, you made me pee myself again

lol, my bad. Now orph go review my fairytale level thoroughyy and PM me the results so I can fix i up.

review? or critique?

snarkpit hasn't the page yet for a proper review.. so i am assuming you meant critique?

And what kind of extasy of enjoyment did you get by posting that? They coudln't tell the difference, so I told them :razz:
