A nice detailed (little) map.
shame about the scientist walking into the railings.
possibly think about making your pipes with a couple more sides, and try and give them flanges on each end that the connect to a wall. just adds realism.

The big with the sci walking right into the rails for ppl using High Definition pack now fixed.

Meh, I'm using hd but I don't experience any walking-to-rails at all.

I'n not using hd but I expeirenced it, its that sci that walks into it right on the screenie. Well, I liked it had good aritecture, the scientists looked good 4 some people. Maybe you should add some fans or something. I dont know if this was meant to be just a cool little detailed map, but maybe you could somehow work in a little fighting? Maybe in that empty room the light blows and u wake up in a destroyed lab and need to escape to the surface!?!?!??!

Good, but a few glitches and a bit pointless and small. Ok architecture, but you could do better. You have extreme potential to do better if you make a story and maybe a minimod out of this.

I've been working on the 1.2 update on it for 1 day now. Thx for the pipe tips from async. Iv'e added flanges now, alhtough im not familiar with the word i think i know what you mean. Answer to Davideo59: Yes! This is eventually going to be a minimod and im working on it. the minimod will be version 2.5 then. Keep your eyes out for my other map: " STORAGE 919 ". Youll play as a Black Mesa disrubuting officer, then you will see what happends in the lower parts of BM when the disaster occurs

Architecture looks alright, although the walls seem kind of empty to me, especially around the Lambda sign. Decals or more computers might work. The scientist by the rail didnt do his scripted sequence, if he should be doing one, with a SD Model. Otherwise, pretty good.

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-27 21:25:00 UTC Comment #2978

The walls are supposed to be very clean. I do not want them filled with useless gadgets. If u were building an Secret Sciency Facility, would u build small ugly gadgets all ovr your wall for no reason, when u can easily compress them all in rooms with specifyed reasons?

RabidMonkey

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-27 21:27:37 UTC Comment #2979

Yes :p.

As long as there's a reason for them being clean it's alright.

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-27 21:30:52 UTC Comment #2980

Lots of ceiling detail and no wall detail. I think lots of "useless gadgets" would look good on that map actually.

Better. I like the sci and his little electronics cart. The little machine by the pipes is good...but I think there's supposed to be a light in there...looks like there's a brush for one that has a non-lights.rad texture so its dark. Fix that.

The sci by the rail still doesnt lean on it with a SD scientist model.

Very nice. I strongly suggest new textures, though. Custom ones. For a clean feel; those lab ones just don't go.

How did you make the animations repeat?

mulleboy

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-28 06:33:42 UTC Comment #2998

Thats becuase i took it as "idle" instead of "action"

veery nice map indeed.

although the scientist still insistes on doing the moonwalk :/

you got the detail just right, i think.

/me downloads.

Does the walls have any "useless gadgets" yet?

m0p

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-28 12:51:28 UTC Comment #3011

Ok, a nice little improvement. I noticed one small bug with the keyboard machine that the electronics cart guy was using. Underneath the keyboard there is overlapping textures. But it isn't a major problem. I like all the useless gadgets, but some walls are a bit empty. Look at my 0wnage corridor, all the walls have lots of detail. You should aim for walls not like that, but still very detailed. It may look a bit gay at first but when the players play the map, it will make them more amazed at your detail.

downloading now... looks cool. did you use 3.5 for the animations?

Floater619

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-28 19:19:28 UTC Comment #3025

very nice. 1 flaw though, in the last room, sector 4, (i think) when i look to the left, everything is invisible except the entities! but minus the flaw i give it 4 stars.

I liked the architecture and details. Really nice. Lighting is good too.

However, with gl_wireframe 2 on, I saw a lot of entities still showing up, making me wonder about your VIS-process. You may want to keep entities not too large, otherwise they can spread out over several leafs, making it hard for the engine to determine whether they're visible or not. Often, they are then always rendered, even when they're not in visible leafs...

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-29 14:43:38 UTC Comment #3040

SD models are missing animations...you'll have to wait for a fixed version, or used Patched HD/LD models.

Architecture is very nice, but walls are empty.

This really warms my heart. All these suggestions will be tested in hammer and complied, and if any good... It's gonna stay there!!

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-29 16:59:10 UTC Comment #3048

Iv'e decided to make a kind of white look in the map. I like the LAB textures. actually.. I love them. Thats why im going to just overlay them with a nice white gradient.

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-30 08:14:49 UTC Comment #3062

Just forget about the white look

Okay, mulle, I'll comment. The architecture was great, and so were the scis.

<Seventh-Monkey> MulleBoy: very nice map
<MulleBoy>

<Seventh-Monkey> I still really think you should change the textures though
<Seventh-Monkey> really nice architecture, but that green colour spoils it a lot
<Seventh-Monkey> the spawn room either needs more work or to be shrunk a lot
<Seventh-Monkey> and some stuff to do would be good (computers, easter eggs, cool stuff)
<Seventh-Monkey> only 4* 'cos've the texturing m'afraid

Captain P

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-31 10:58:37 UTC Comment #3088

The moominade vending machine has no buttons...

Aside from that, nice additions.

Though r_speeds are a bit high. Probably because you've poured a lot of brushes into one entity, so that it's stretched over multiple leafs, so the engine renders the entity nearly always. I'd suggest using some more and smaller entities.

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-31 11:07:08 UTC Comment #3090

yeah, and think about changing the pipes, etc to func_wall or something.

Commented 19 years ago2004-07-31 13:06:44 UTC Comment #3092

EVERYTHING is func_wall except for the floor

Commented 19 years ago2004-08-01 02:15:25 UTC Comment #3108

mulle: you shouldn't tie everything to entities as, even if you set them to cast shadows, it'll take longer to compile. Good lighting is more important, though - don't make walls with light streaming through!
