de_Orient

I still havent gotten the water to reflect , and im working on the
pathway to the temple with a garden and all :wink: , How should i make a
garden in css though , i have a worry that it'll look like an orderly
selection of swamp weeds.

I hid the water from the visgroup because well ... it was ugly ill post a "water" one up in a second

Broken image.

darn >_< let me fix this ...

Edit : Fixed ! ^_^ , forgot the http:// ... oh and i cant get the water to reflect ... = /

good start, but there is really so little content I dont think its worth putting up.

VERY undetailed map, and the screens show the same thing, so i assume
thats all thats in the map at the moment. Right now I dont think its
the matter to worry about the reflectiveness of the water, work on
details and props, get the rest done first. Also, architecture, maybe a
detailed 3d skybox

as i stated in the map description, all my models seem to be showing up
as ERROR in game = / and im not quite sure why .. im not sure what to
put in the skybox , mountains or plains with small hills

For a Japanese-styled map, mountains would do good. Blossom trees also.
Honestly, I think a sunny or sunset setting does much more to your map
than a depressing rainy day. Personally I believe it's one of the
aspects of the de_dust series that made them popular: they have a nice,
sunny mood attached to them, as opposed to depressing dark maps.

Anyway, for inspiration, you may want to play No One Lives Forever 2.
The first level takes place in a Japanese town, where the first area is
a nice waterfall with some typical Japanese structures. A bit dark and
silent though, but nicely crafted.

this map is in stall mode till i get windows fixed X_X. oh well ;p I plan to work on it a lot more though when i do ^_^
