Jan '07 Update;

Repositioned/remade a bunch of axis spawn points. Remade/tidied some routes. Added ambient noise. Added new link.

Dec '06 update;-
added a couple of planes flying over, more overlays, some phone wires, more overlays, some random phyisics props, updated the screenshots, and uploaded a b1 version. i think i'll need to make a b2 version pretty soon though, as i left a rotten big player clip in place after moving a fence. other than that, i'm not aware of any problems.
oh, did i mention that i added more overlays?

this is the outcome of messing with dod:s models. it started off as a few buildings and a train platform, and has grown, without any real planning, into something that could possibly become a decent map. the plan at the moment(subject to change without notice) is to have the allies spawn in a graveyard at one end of the map, which is the only area that still needs any major construction, and the axis at the other end, in a bombed out factory/warehouse beside the railway.
there's no optimization been done at all, but i've tried to be aware of lines of sight etc, which should help when i get around to that stage.
there's no street furniture been added yet either. rubble, telephone poles, street lights, etc. once i'm finished with the actual layout, and possibly have the gameflow tested, i'll have a better idea of what routes need to be adjusted, so sandbags and other streetjunk can help with that.

june22 update;

i've uploaded what is basically an alpha of the map. i'm not really looking for any feedback about textures, dodgy displacements, lighting etc. anyone that looks at it will see what is obviously still a work in progress, with too many problems to list.
that said though, i'd be interested to hear comments on where the gameplay might falter due to the actual layout and the routes and whatnot that are accessible.

A smallish arena type map, consisting mostly of displacement surfaces and prop models. Made mainly as a bit of stress relief, and a distraction from another map I've been working on that's starting to twist my nipples.

I stopped working on this when weird stuff started happening after rotating the map for an overview picture. There's very little chance that there will be an update beyond b_5. Considered, now, as a finished map.

A small bridge type map in a rural setting. Three flags, with the middle flag on the bridge requiring two men to cap it.
I used a few tree models by flashy[nl]. The mortar models are by sturgeon. There may be models by someone else too, so I'll need to sort out a proper readme before I make this final.

piano and stool models

in Half-Life 2 » Models

not static props, but the piano is heavy enough that it can't be carried with the grav gun.

it's a pity that i don't know how, or even if, this thing could be made to actually sound like a piano when it gets knocked about.

woodrail set

in Half-Life 2 » Models

set of wooden handrails. unit lengths of 32, 64, 128, 128_broken, and a riser that's 128x256, all with 3 LODs. there's the post too.
the pic only shows one of the hundreds of ways this set can be used, and only features 3 of the models.

mini_cooper

in Half-Life 2 » Models

non-drivable mini cooper with 4 skin variations. (ooh-err missus)
compiled as a staticprop, it's another model with no LOD's, so if you're gonna use it, don't have it visible from everywhere. ;)
