Asseva Quota

Hey,

I started a single player project in my newbie days but never finished it. Wanting to get something high-quality finished, I re-started the project recently. Well, here's a few screenshots.

I am trying to do as much of this mod myself as I can, including mapping, models and coding. I may need some extra help towards the end, particularly with beta testing.

I wub it XD!

I don't understand why your making a mod that sort of contridicts/ignores the HL2 game...

I like some of those textures. They remind me of the old one yet look very sharp.

Myrk: I don't see anything there which contradicts HL2 but I'm ignoring HL2 for my own mods anyway. The ending of this will certainly contradict HL2 and I'm ignoring a fair bit of HL1 as well. I'm re-making the aliens, in particular zombies. Should be interesting to see if I can pull it off...

Yak_Fighter: Mix of Poke646, Meatpack and the Shaderlab all at work :biggrin:

Map looks ok, anyway.

Very sharp textures, indeed. :smile:

First and third shots I like very much. The second one though feels quite flat. I think it needs some more variation in lighting or maybe some more interesting archatecture, just somthing to add a bit more interest.

you can never go wrong with poke646 textures. :smile:

i see some of the same set i used in No_Patience :biggrin:

can't be all bad then :smile:

look at the FLOOR

Sounds and looks great Thumbs up

Yeah, but I never paid attention when running around No_Patience...

runs back to my maps

didn't you use some shaderlabs in catalyst bud?

i didn't intend for anyone to re-look at N_P, i was just making noise about myself :biggrin:

Looks pretty good mate, glad to see your still doing some mapping :smile: Not much to give advice on, to be honest, accept to perhaps vary that floor texture a tad, since it makes an appearance in all three screenshots. Provided that isn't indicative of its frequency throughout the map though, I'm sure it wont be a problem.

i didn't use any meat pack i dont think, but than for sure.. some of our choices were similar if i recall :smile:

great minds really do think alike.. :heee:

i am amazed. good job, right when it's done im definitely going to download.

wow, looks great :smile:

As said: sharp texturing. Keep it up !

Glad to see people like it - tis very motivating :biggrin:

@Tracer Bullet - that was fresh off the compile but I loved that shot as it was :razz: . One of the grates is now swung off and is discarded on the floor, plus the lights are a little sharper. Seems to be much better now anyway. I don't want to change the area much more due to a puzzling puzzle (for half-life's puzzles anyway...) in that room.

@Orpheus. Damn fine screen. Personally I'd have put a trim around the edge of the grate, but it looks pretty dang good as-is.

@ReNo - teh w00tage. Mappers I really look up to are you, Campaign Junkie and KFS. Good to see I please :smile: . Anyways, I do like the texture and I've perhaps used it a bit too much but it's certainly not too frequent.

I know this is a stupid question, but how long will it take for you to finish this mod/map? I can't wait to play it :biggrin:

Nice architecture, nice story, nice textures. I especially picture 3 with the spot light effects. Keep it up.

TBH I have no idea. A couple of months maybe? I quit my student job a while back and I've been working on this for about 2 weeks, on and off, and have about 10% done I reckon, not including tweaking and the majority of the code.

Just dont expect this thing to be long ok? I'm definately aiming for quality over quantity. To put some perspective on it, SEThorian completed the first level in about 3 minutes, and I'm aiming for about 10 levels altogether.

Looks great so far, and I like the story - who cares if it conflicts with HL2?

Will the SA80 include a 'randomly not work' feature? :smile:

Naturally Jeff, as well as a randomly fire feature, especially while whacking a new clip in.

EDIT:: Nice One Jeff, just gave me an idea for one of the levels :biggrin:

This is a great looking map, you have definatly given a feeling for this map, all the textures fit in well with each other, nice work!

Couple of new screens. I would post thumbs but my server appears to be non-responsive atm.

And an update on:

On a side note, does anyone have a LARGE water texture? Even if it isn't animated it's good. I've got a HUGE dam here, but I have to scale the water texture up to 7x to even make an impact on the repetitiveness, and the dam looks about 1000 units long. It's actually over 6000 units long.

Nice map dude, verry nice,

only one thing -not a comment but more of some maybe usefull info-
alot of places with tiles on the walls (metro stations, public toilets etc)
have some curved corners too, i think it might increase the beauty of you already awsome map, maybe you should try it to see how it looks.

anyway, great maps, nice textures, keep it up , it looking good
