DM_Abandoned

1st picture... the one where red light is coming from white lighting fixtures :eek: I think your green light is too bright too. And where are the old broken/not on lights in that room? And is there actually an exit there (even if you can't go through it)

The 1st shot is thin, although you may be able to get away with it if
it's almost never used besides for spawning (think dm_lockdown, behind
the shower room).

The 2nd shot look REALLY strange. What's going on down there?

3rd shot, what's going on with the ceiling? I'm very confused with this map.

The 4th shot has a weird hole in the wall that looks significantly
different from the rest of the room. Also, I think that wall
texture needs stretched or something, the window textures are
misaligned and need rotating, and fix that "exit" sign. Abandoned
buildings don't just magically have their words flip around.

Last, in the 5th shot, I see that you got the env_sun entity working, but that's about it.

Needs detail, less weird brushwork, etc. Keep mapping!

Dark you have a pipe going through a pilar on the 1st picture

The green sign is stretched, make it smaller!

The third picture has a wall with a wall texture that has wood at the bottom and cement at the top but you made it so there is wood at the bottom and then cement and then wood again! (Hard to explain) i will fix for you later anyway!

yo guyz i still didint finish the maps for crying out loud....i still will do and outside area...with buildings you can enter....and ill fix the lights texture (later)...i just posted the new pictures so i can show you that the full bright thing asnd lights are fixed now, its still 20% finished yet :wink:

Hi guyz, i want your opinions in these stuff :

• Do you want me to do an outdoor area???
• There is a room ( locker room) with almost all the weapons...should i remove like 50-70% of them??
• Umm, any other Tricks or Tips for making my map more attractive and enjoyable, please tell me right away...or send me an email on: eagle_1990@hotmail.com There are all what im confused of ( Till Now) LOL...if i have other stuff to say i would ask...

Please answer me on these points ....because im thinking of making people download this map (BETA) to tell me what do they think, and what to remove/add in my map ...

But when i release my first BETA map, im sure you would find blocky architectures...the reason is that im still learning new stuff (clipping tool)so you may notice alot of these kind of bugs, and maby any kind of other errors or bugs or what ever...So Give me your opinions ^^^^ and ill check them, then release the BETA map :smile:

Do not and i repete do not give out a beta as they will not be as amzed as when they play it for the first time!

I'm going to start posting like Dark and habboi until people realize that it's unacceptable.

Or, should I say: HEY GUYS... BDA NOOS!1 TEH MAP IS GONNA B POSTPWND BECAUSE I CANT FIGURE OUT WERE TEH COMBILE BUTTON IS IN HAMMER. SRY!!!!

BUMP I REPETE BUMP LOL

Dude, correct your spelling so we can understand you, and dont post stupid stuff until it is important ( This is only for you :smile: ) thank you....

Yes Cass as you put TEH its sposed to be 'the'

And you complain to us about our writing :razz:

Do not and i repete do not give out a beta as they will not be as amzed as when they play it for the first time!

We aren't fussed about spelling so much, but it looks like once again

Wow thanks for the KNOWN info, Tell me something i dont know :smile:

First off, I received so many Pm's from people, that the ones I want to keep were being threatened with auto deletion, so... I accidentally deleted some I may have wanted. I cannot recall which people asked for private and which public so I am chancing it with all public critiques today. Since public critiques give you the most feedback in the long run, I feel its the safest course of action. If by some small chance, someone picks on a map, because its n00b or some such, be forewarned, I will not be happy and would consider the attaching party to not get any future critique's from my camp.

anywho's onward and upward.



The first thing I noticed was the abundance of items this map contains. If it reaches fruition, I can guarantee you will not run short of supplies. I do however feel that the tight construction will not bode well with the abundance of thrown items. Some sort of a limit might be considered on stuff to be hurled about.



That work light, nice addition. but something is either not set correctly, or my hardware couldn't quite cope. As will be illustrated with the next few screen shots, the light tended to flicker on/off, but for all intents of purpose, the light was on the full time. The light needs addressed to see why its doing this.








This ceiling also contained some sort of a lighting issue, why I have no idea, but it flickered from bright to normal as i walked beneath it.



These stairs, were just short of fully contacting the wall. The floor as well seemed to have a wall texture on it. The bricks looked odd when matched against the stair steps.



Misalignments and if you look close, the glowing ceiling seems to tell me the solids were overlapped. Not a good sign from a construction standpoint.



That light fixture, it needs to be raised, i got hung on it as i walked along the wall.



This wall has a clip node, I got hung on invisible air as i turned to look behind me.



Ladder is non functional



Nice touch, the image doesn't show it clearly, but the steam/smoke looked cool :smile:



This area, nice ambush from above location. the items tended to trip me however. There seems to be no hole big enough to drop them out through either.



Notice cross hair's. The wall is to short, it needs to either be raised to block the outside, or you could lower it and add windows.



I honestly cannot recall why I took this shot. But i can assure you there was a reason. Look for it when you return next time :smile:



slaps forehead NOW I REMEMBER!.. The ceiling, notice its now bright. reference the last image to see what I mean.



Doorway is much to narrow, room beyond is a dead end as well. Not a good combination. :sad:



Please do not ask, I do not know what is wrong with the textures here. :sad:



To many items. To little space.



See the cross hairs, a 357 fell through the floor.. somehow :/



Nice courtyard, I dunno why its here, but its nice.

All in all, a nice 1st creation, lets hope it turns out a nice 1st release as well. Work on some of the things I mentioned, and lets hope someone notices some things i did not as well.

Good 1st attempt

He he, in the pic with the exit sign it looks like the exit is the window! Suicidal-urge-me-do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks alot Orph, i didnt notice all of these, i will fix them right now...

but the problem is :

• I cant get the ladder to work
• I dont know how to fix the flickering texture

And in the new edit in my map:

• I'm making an outside area
• I made a hallway with a light attached to a rope in the way for the boiler room
• I Removed some weapons down there too and removed these blue things that hold up the weapons...
• and removed the Clip Node in the way...

I hope that will fix my 1st map till now :biggrin:

The flickering texture is probably due to you using a texture meant for
a model. Don't use any textures with the "model/" or "prop/" prefix.
There is a tutorial on this very site about how to make ladders in
HL2DM.

yeh i know about the ladder thing, i did all i can to make it right...but it doesnt work, i would fix it later, but regarding the flickering texture, i dont use any of the model texture, for the broken tunnel, i used Dirt as a texture, but it still flicker....

Yo guyz, i cant get the flickering thing get fixed, i tried pointing spotlights on them but they dont work, instead of getting fixed, when looking in different directions, they would look even brighter than normal, as in picture #2...

please someone help me in this thing because i want it to get fixed, becasue my map looks wierd like that...

_________________________________________________

New Updates:

• Fixed The flickering texture in the hole in the one at the second pic the pile that is before the hole ( by replacing the textures )
• Fixed the ladder atlast ( after noticing that func_useableladder must NOT touch any of the brushes around it
• Fixed Other Stuff ( lots of them :wink: )

In progress:

• Im finishing off the outer area now, tweaking and fixing stuff
• I have a cool Idea, which im gonna show it to you later
• And some other stuff

What is left (till now):

• I need some ideas from you guys so i can know what to add in my map
• I need to fix the flickering texture in other parts of the map (so i need your help)
• Some other stuff that ill take care of

New screen shots would be posted by tommorow (hope so)

How about another room with toilets inside! and a hidden weapon behind a toilet!

Theres toilet models with sinks etc so its all there for you.

Hmmm, not a bad idea, i may do it...thank you for suggesting an idea, this would be my second secret in the map, because there is another secret some where in the map too :wink:

Secrets in DM maps are generally bad ideas, unless they are reasonably easy to find out.

Dont worry reno, the secret is very to find out...its somewhere in the ********* ill say later :wink:

I could'nt find the secret untill you told me Dark :razz:

Im ready to upload the Beta Version of my map, i hope so, in like these two days...btw habboi, You must relise the the secret is a BRIGHT box...and in the red room :wink: ...so check it out there :razz:

Cass please only comment on the map here and not on your personal feelings Thankyou!

My base price is 2M, but I might be able to give you a discount given the mark.

Could that be considered a personal comment, habboi? Could anything you say be considered a comment of any type? Have you ever posted anything useful, anything clear, anything that added to a discussion or made a useful point? Have you ever written in the English language with any hint of fluency whatsoever? Have you ever completed a post without misspelling everything and topping it off with half the smilies on the menu? Have you made any attempt to acclimate to the standards of this board's standards, or does it honestly look like everyone here acts exactly like you?
habboi please just post like a normal person not like a moron Thankyou!

my diaper budget is considerably lower when i am on the road.. prolly course there is nothing very funny out there.. but here..

i have pissed myself twice already, and the night is young yet

i may have to consider spending more time on the road.. its cheaper :biggrin:

JERRRY! JERRY! JERRY! :biggrin:

Hey Cass, I'll cap him for free.

I think whoever does will probably win the Nobel Peace Prize :biggrin: .

Woah guyz, get a hold on yourselves...this isnt a war zone lol, and Cassius, Everyone have his own way in doing stuff, and his own typing skills, and his own personal opinion, as you do aswell, so stop commenting about habboi, and FORGET THE FREAKIN DAY WHEN HE GOT BANNED AND THE HOLE FREAKIN' STORY WILL YA !??!?!?!?

It's true though as i was rude and rushed my posts. I have tried to help others 'Cass' but i'm not as smart as others. I have never posted anything useless otherwise what your saying is that my goldeneye post is garbage even though others were quite interested about my findings. If my posts are garbage then your saying other people's posts are garbage seeing as they are all the same.

I know people don't act the same and i don't expect them to be similar to me but all i ask is that you leave me alone please!

Also 'Lep' i was told by Dark that he had been banned and he also says sorry and will make sure to follow the snarkpit law and not waste other peoples time by posting one sentence in a post every minute.

He wishes to be unblocked and since your a nice person and had the heart to unblock me could you please have that same heart to unblock dark and we will both be good and not waste your time.

Thankyou

Congrats Habboi, you responded very well to obvious threats against you
by not getting angry and blowing the f**k up. As such I will not flame
you or anything else unless you revert to your old ways, then you can expect the wrath. Welcome aboard.

He will be unbanned, but still have the daily post-cap imposed UNTIL I am happy again!

Thankyou 'Agent Smith' and i will always spend time on my posts before submitting them.

And i promise not to 'revert' back to the old me!

I got the map ready to be released as a BETA...atlast, please cirtique it and reply to me with information about the map...and what do you think...and what to fix and what to remove...i hope you would like it...

Great fun and is a must Download!

Enjoy all!

I have one question: Why are there street lights on in the middle of
the day? They have sensors and junk, so they'll turn on with the
absence of light.

I know...i tried removing them...but they seem so dark...but they kinda fit right...its not so day like...maby like in the time the sun is descending..you know what i mean right??...just download it ... and look at it...then tell me what is wrong...dont forget it is a beta map :smile:
