Hello

I have been mapping for a month or so, gotten quite a lot of feedback about my mapping, and it was mostly "Practise your Brushwork please!!1", so i did. 18 hours straight i mapped on this, and then a couple more hours the day after. The map is pretty much finished, just need to tweak physics object and lightning, maybe some details too.
Tell me what you think, and i hope that my first map won't be crap

PUBLIC BETA UPLOADED

Known bugs &/OR issues

Cubemaps refuse to work properly
Skylight looks weird
Minor leak holes (But there aint a leak in the compile)
Some textures have misaligned themselves
Some textures have rezised themselves and won't change (the window for example)

TO DO:

Fix the skylight
The minor leak holes shall be fixed
The misaligned textures will be fixed
Making some more interresting geometry
Tweaking light, ALOT
More balancing

Got something you want to see in the map, or you found a bug? PM/Email me, and i'll see what i can do.

I'd be happy to test you'r maps if you'd do the same for me

This is a conversion of an HL2 map i made not long ago. You can find it in my profile. This one is for www.Hidden-Source.com, a great mod which needs more players! Download the mod and have fun!

Changes since fHL2.



-.-Two new rooms and a vent.

-.-Alot more props to use as weapons.

-.-APPR. 35% larger, but it is oriented on playing more than running, so it feels alot larger

-.-A panel, when pressed, selects random lights and turns them off. The lights are turned back on after 30 sec's. Can be used every 35 secs.

-.-Not as light as the first one.

-.-Nightvision and flashlight are very effective tools in this map!

Settings I recommend: 2 rounds per Hidden, weight on, pigstick on. While the map feels large, it can get crowded, hence the pigstick. A very skilled Hidden would be able to kill the entire team with no trouble.

What/Who do i need? : I need 4-5 players to team up with me, and play the map! If you would like to get in the test, first

1: Download the map here http://83.133.125.116:81/web2/html/hosted/hidden/%5Biamacup.com%5Dhdn_nova_beta.zip

2: Add [url=drshark_45@hotmail.com"]drshark_45@hotmail.com[/url] on Messenger, or send me a mail (you can also reply in this topic)

3: We'll schedule when to play.

Any help is much appriciated. If the map gets hosted on a server, please tell me so i can come and join ya!

Just before i leave, some pics so it isn't all text!

Screens delight!

This is the entrance to the socalled "Box Room". The hidden can block it with the barrels! [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Tons of fun!

Teh box room! The hidden can hide on the edges, the boxes, or just taunt the "Retarded baboons" running around beneath him! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The escape / Hiding room for the hidden. You can see the vent in the distance. Only Hidden can enter this vent.
