the planes aint mine i got em at prefablab. it does compile but no lighting done yet.

from this picture, im guessing u need lights

the map just sucks without lights. u should read the tutorials

its very very very very very etc big. can you even compile it?
try making it smaller, and make the planes less detailed...

Ruubish map tell its your first

• Got a problem with first maps? Everyone was a newby once, you included.

joo kyll? t?? suomesta on

Roskakyla? Roska kyl?? oletko suomesta?

I thank you as much as I thank everyone who plays and gives his opinion :). It means much to me that people give value to my work.
Some work wnet into this, my first attempt to do something and, well, still is unfinished and there is some more work to do (more maps and so...).
And well, I?m gonna answer to your ideas :):
-Everyone seems to miss the ligthning. It looks fine on my computer, there are dark areas and light areas but, hmm, if everyone misses it there must be something wrong with me!. Have you tried the gamma correction and so?. I?m asking for help at this ?cos I can?t test my map in other computers.
-Yes, it?s true... But i did it in purpose hehe. It has some story and, well, if you?re dropped you may suffer. There is a medikit in a crate that can recover you, but just a little, it?s intended to be hard but not impossible.
-Yes, it happens, the stair in the floor must be placed below the hole in the roof so you can jump into it and then into the stair. I?m gonna put a walktrough with the final version for things like this :).
-Oh :D!!!. A chopper dropped you, but it?s still not implemented. There are sentences and things that are still coming in these maps. In fact, there may be an introductory period where you jump off that chopper.
-Hehe... I thought about that, but was a little difficult to me (I?m not good at this) and I liked those paintings on the wall showing you how deep into the ground you are.
Great you liked the puzzles :). Thank you very much JB.

Good map, but you really need to learn texture alignment...

BTW!.. This is a CS map as you can see.

(write -wadinclude wadname in the gsc line on expert compile)

PHEW< Just finished it in hard mode? No cheats? Took me over an hour! (-and about 10-15 saves)

Excellent brush AND texture work! Detail like that goes a long way.
Puzzles were fun, although I spent a good half-minute whacking the side of the box the HEV suit comes in? (Am I thick or is it just the box?:P)
Camera work worked:D
Great challenge, very fun to play, looks great, imaginative puzzles, soooo?
five pretty twinkley thingeys!

A few minor ideas/things for you to look at?
-There's lightening??? Hmmm I missed that :
-I fell out of the sky to start. It hurt. That was health I scarce could afford to loose!
-whenever I tried to grab the ladder in the bookroom, I would grab the bottom of the func_ladder, not the side! It took several tries to finally get on the side.
-Did I fall out of outer-space or did a chopper (hint hint) just drop me off?
-I think you should have two separate func_trains to act as doors on the lift -but you decide

Sorry man, this maps says it needs Waterwork.wad to work. Iclude the wads you used to the .bsp and re-upload it.

Bloody hell! This is good! What program did you use for those amazing custom textures?

Oh!!!, Thank you very much Jester!!!!. I?m so happy with all the good feedback I?m getting from you. I?m a little worried about the lightning thing. I see it nice but maybe in other computers needs some gamma boost from the video options. Well, thank you!, more is coming soon!.

I forgot to write that the map was graet!

HOLY S***! This is great! Get it! Woo!

I'll play it, be sure of it. I liked this one.

Thank you for your help blue!

Well as you say, this is my first map... I will try to fix the leak (and texture) problems. I'm working on ver3, and it will be done for some 5-6 days...

I played it and rated it with 3 stars... And these are 3 stars for your first map ever.
And now I?m commenting ?cos we all like to have comments on our maps.
I downloaded it half and hour ago and played through it. My first impression was quite good, I like the way you use the texts to tell the story, it?s nicely written and gets you in the mood to play.
As I started the map and killed the rat I saw something that would be seen in some other places... Well, we all know that carving is evil and well, it really can do something bad to your map as it did here. The pipe from which you come out is carved and white lines are seen everywere (leak warning :P!)... But let?s skip that.
I liked the Barney thing and that giant robot, as well as I enjoyed the fight with the apache (you know, started with the mp4 and ended up with the missile launcher). There is good lightining stuff and shadow effects out there.
The inside sections are also good. You show quite original ideas. It doesn?t look much like Black Mesa (in my opinion) but the scenery is great!!. The first grunt encounter was really enjoyable (the scenery there is really perfect for combat).
I enjoyed less the flickering light part (those lights really get my out of my mind) but the rest was good, specially the ending.
One thing I liked about your map is how you planned it. Player moves trough a relatively small area but it?s a long level, I mean, you are in and then out and you see places you?ve been before, but you?re always making it forward, it?s really good.
I saw some texture problems and the carving thing that would be the most important problems. The rest is good but I?d have made architecture a little more complex by adding barrels, pillars and different ceiling styles... And that?s why I give it 3 stars.
I?m willing to see more work from you.

Err... I also speak spanish... Quiero decir, hola!!!. Por lo que veo de la imagen parece que el mapa est? muy bien. Intentar? descargarlo cuando tenga un poco de ancho de banda libre porque ahora mismo como que est? un poco petado... Lo que te quer?a comentar de todos modos, hmmm... Si no hablas ingl?s nadie te entiende aqu? as? que si es posible intent?lo, m?s que nada por solidaridad, porque hay gente de todas partes (Daneses, Fineses, Brit?nicos, Escoceses...) que hablan idiomas y dialectos diferentes pero todos intentan entenderse entre ellos. Puede que les resulte un poco molesto que hablen en un idioma desconocido como a t? podr?a parecertelo si hablaran ellos en alem?n... Y eso. Paz!!.

ummm, Replace ALL the light entities with 1 light_enviroment and set its pitch to -90, that will work like a sun.
Down in the water put some texture lights in...
And also, no lights in the floor
And theres no need for those .p0 files.
But could be a good map if you fix all the errors.

es una puta mierda porke n me pasan los boots

it's a very buena pourque la a dotado de una coloracion digna de un buen creador aunque deberia probar nuevas cosas?y que m pase los boots o si no alguno de vosotros

soy josepelos y esta pagina m parece que esta bien por el colorido y por la inmensidad de nuevas expresiones holograficas ?bravo por josago?descargate su pagina es ideal

Judging from the screenshot, you need to learn what light is... the map's just unlighted. Is that because there is a leak in the map or because you didn't place any lights?

i really liked the map. I think the key stuff is very cool and well done (i have no clue why they left that basic FPS idea out of the original)
Your architecture is great.
The level is tough but not impossible. Forces you to think and pray sometimes

But.... your lighting is not good. The level is too dark. Its often pitch black and that's not good. And the areas which are supposed to be lit up need the flashlight for proper viewing.

Great map marred by not great lighting.

My Good Map

Heeey! nice first map! Here's a few little little details too improve on, but apart from that, well done!

-Ventilation ducts were too brightly lit... a few dim red lights on the corners and in the middle of long bits should be enough.

-in the middle story of the building, the corner of the floor seems to magically hang around the stair case despite there's a bunch of crates on top of it. Give it some supporting like a concrete wall to hold it up, or maybe a pole, or something.

-the bottom story is too empty: it needs to look like it's needed! Add some shelf prefabs, and perhaps a crate or two more can't go amiss! maybe a crack decal or two depending on what you think

-NO dumpster prefabs? ?but it's in the city! Swap afew smaller outside crates with dumpsters, it gives variation, and? you?ve just gotta have at least one dumpster!

Good start, but there are some texture issues, and also some gaps in wall alignements at the entry to the pool area.. hop on the step and look left and right, you can see outside the room.

Errr... How did you know there were labs???!!!!... I spoiled it in the forum :P???... Well, my friend, the lab maps are in process now. I?ll tell when I update the thing in the Maps & Mods forum.
Did you like it?. Thanks for playing!!!..

PS: Got 4 star!!! :D!.

hey i dont hav the lab maps! i got the addon r these even in the mod?

Hmmm... When Grunts block doors I usually blow them up :D... But I set the grunts to dissapear after dead so I don?t know what your problem could be... Maybe I?ll set some blockers so they can?t be behind doors.
And the scientist opens the elevator, yes, he does. Did you take him to the front door?. A scripted sequence would take place and he?ll open the door, I don?t know, it works for me... Try again... Did you like it?.

Ok. Thank you very much for your help!

I was forced to use noclip in some places cause the grunts were blocking the doors at the beggining and the scientist wouldn't open the elevator. (Is he sposed to?)

Argskitmorrockso!
No the map are okay, but you have take it upp to the limits of H-L engine.
So the compilings tools in this case the Vis tools Vis.exe or hlvis.exe must work hard and long time.
The H-L engine and the tools where build for small worlds not for large open area/space.
So if you build a map as this, it take long time to compil and you need a good computer with good memory capacity for the "MakeScales:"and "SwapTransfers:" take so large space.

Woah.. i't looks crazy!

I like this screenie, I'll check it out...

10X ZombieLoffe!!! Do you waht to see the *.RMF ?

ok after 5 uploads, and 4 server error messages i have sucesfuly uploaded my map.... jeeezzzz
ok i think this will do...
download is ok now.
