I ran around in it for a couple and overall, i was pleasantly surprised. One think i can say for sure is that im not a big fan of the mix between wooden buildings back to back with brick/cement ones; they don't make much sense. Also, the wooden house near A point seems overly done with windows. Speaking of windows, i think they stand out too much because of their thickness and invariability. Mesh textures look like they could use more work; maybe add some vegetation on the grass ones? The power lines appeared as full bright when i was running around, but they looked fine in spec mode. Saw some texture clipping bugs and light chops here and there; i'll post them monday, if not tomorrow.
Edit: I just realized i never commented on your stuff before and i hope you don't take the above in the wrong way

If you`re looking into razer naga, make sure you get a mechanical one. The older versions, before 2013-2014 (i think), are easily the most faulty mice i've ever owned (had 2).

@Strider: Those are env_bubbles The blue electrical arcs that you walk on? They're 2 func_scrolls, 1 unit on top of each other, running on opposite directions.
@Minnow: Yup, that teleport will be more obvious when it's done, definitely going to be another in the big hall. Even so with all the teleports and jump pads, gameplay is still going to be horrendous. This was an abandoned map i had that transformed into a little opt. project, nothing more.

So this is what Xen would look like if it were a DE_ map? I like the middle section the most; would probably be fun to have a few deathmatch rounds in there. Though, i don't get the section where the drilling machine is at: too much color for my taste - green, blue, orange, red and all the mixing between those + light spots from crystals. Can't say i've noticed high poly count anywhere, unless 3-4k is still considered high nowadays in the cs community.

Ran around for ~20 mins and couldn't find anything. After some frustration i looked at the source file, started game again and went to where a rat was supposed to be. Nothing was there... Not sure what if im doing something wrong? I'm starting up HL - create server - pick rat hunt map - click start.

Nope, it fades the beam at the starting point only. I've been placing 2 beams that meet at another entity in the middle of their distance to get the effect i want; extra entities, but i guess that should do it for now. Oh well...

Looking good. Reminds me of quake maps. The soft, blueish light makes it really easy on the eye and compensates for the obnoxious, dark background. The default HL light textures don't do this map any justice Btw, any idea on how to make a beam fade at both ends?
I remember about an year ago, i wasted about ~2 good weeks trying to do something similar without success. I've read somewhere that it's possible to achieve this by editing the texture straight from the source file (.rmf/.map).

Hey all! I`ve been a lurker on this website for quite a while now, ever since i started mapping with GoldSource. Got here thanks to your great guides that have helped me a lot; i think i've read every single thing around here and still got plenty of things to learn -_-
Well, i've been mapping for almost an year now, i've made a few other maps besides this one, nothing too special, but i think zm_ko_catacombs is on par with most of the maps around here. So here it is, my small contribution to TWHL.
Any feedback is appreciated...and yes, i know those rocks aren't the greatest thing. Will do a better job next time, still learning

It could use a few subtle blue lights/colors here and there, imho.

Thanks for the tutorial, it'll be of much help.
