Haha, opinions.

I liked it, I thought it was fun to play when I tested it with bots. It's pretty detailed and it's clear by the on-site info you're dedicated to the quality of the map.

No need to argue over who's comment was 'right', everyone's entitled to their own opinions :/

I don't know, the ambient sound is neat, but the rest of the map feels lacking. It's dark, and pretty much some displacements and some headstones with the clip tool. It's alright for 4 hours, I suppose, but it's still way too dark to be playable. (Post it at the SteamPowered forum and you'll get what I mean :p)

Love it.

Your dedication and attention to the detailing and the map in general is beautiful. It could use a bit more lighting contrast but meh, I can't complain. Well done.

Looks fairly decent. I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Kind of Black-Mesa cargo facility-y, I like that theme. Could use with a sign or two next to that rounded door and some more detail-y elements (power boxes or something) but otherwise pretty cool.

Yep.

Pillars are okay square-y if they have 4 or so units cut off at a 45deg angle on the sides.

Doesn't match the sky lighting, and it seems toooooo blue to me - Realistically (and visually) you need a contrasting yellow or red. Preferably yellow. Add some sunlight.

Nifty shadows, though they should be skewed (depending on where the light is entering from, I guess)

Open-Source maps are just maps that are distributed with their sources, habboi, hence their source information being available, just like open-source software.

RMF/VMF does hold more info, though :)

Open-source maps kick considerable ass, my friend ;D. Nice work, and a nice map.

Heh, kinda cool - Fairly accurate as well. The room and texturing need a bit of work, though, so I'll rate it 3.4, rounded down to 3.

I'm a bit busy to test, atm, but I'd suggest adding some more displacement to that lower area and a skybox. Looks cool, though.

I've spent hours trying to get it to work in HL2 with a func_ladder. Doesn't work. No clue why.

I got spawnkilled because I'm a bit slower in buying things.

And one round I could have sworn the CT's spawned directly across from me.
Commented 19 years ago2005-01-31 13:35:44 UTC in vault item: Sandfort Comment #5823
Looks nice, a bit small for my tastes - I got spawnkilled a time or two :P - Maybe I'm just slow. Needs a bit more of a skybox imo but otherwise fine.

Heh, cool :D - I fancy the theme on this one more than the first.

Want another HLDM conversion? ;P

Looks like a HL1 map in a lot of places, really - Your debris is so low-poly, no curved corners, pretty boxy. I agree with Playbus on most of his points.
Commented 19 years ago2005-01-28 17:45:36 UTC in vault item: Old Ladder Technique Comment #5751
But, it's CS:S?

Ladders don't work in HL2 (as in, the game itself, not Source in general) but they seem fine in CS:S.

Looks pretty good judging by screenie alone, I'll test it out when I get home.

And I remember your first Vesa map...;o

I like it, and imo you should add glass to some of the windows, at least - It would look much more realistic and such.

New version being hosted soon...

Lighting it seems.

Looks alright, the windows all in a row on the top level is a bit un - Nova Prospekty though.

I'll have a go when I get home.

trapts car and train ;)

I did them D:! The explorer is even a prefab @ Snarkpit.

/me spams credit for his prefabs ;o

It was fun to run around and look at my pitiful work from about a year ago, though. *cough*crappycrateroom*cough. And I get the ending NOW D: - The TV looked weird though.
Commented 19 years ago2005-01-03 11:04:58 UTC in vault item: CSS_Melawan Comment #5440
Looking pretty nice, but is that terrain in the front of the screenie done with the old triangle method? Looks rather pointy - use displacement maps and make it look more smoothed-out? (or it already is and the screenie doesn't show it...?)
Commented 19 years ago2005-01-03 01:48:19 UTC in vault item: TWHLmix Comment #5432
Hey, I made the train @ the station as well as the glass fittings >:o /me recalls his IH 'fab set :P

Haz, your part rocked, I loved the little fix the generator puzzle. For the rest, I agree with ZL, mostly.

Ratings don't matter, and whoever sits there hitting the button 50 times has no life.

Seems like a good first map, I don't particularly like the crate-warehouse setting, I'd fill it with machinery instead, otherwise, decent start.
Commented 19 years ago2004-12-17 20:34:32 UTC in vault item: Source - HL2 Signs Comment #5348
Correct.

The reason I've made them into er, un-decals, is that some of em cannot be used as decals, and if you want them hanging or on the ground or mounted on some sort of beam where it will stick out, decals are un-functional. Hence where these come in :)

I think the roadsign ones are all models, other than that I didn't see any in the form of models. Correct me if I'm wrong D:

Anyways, thanks :)
Commented 19 years ago2004-12-12 23:54:49 UTC in vault item: Source - HL2 Signs Comment #5303
You can't - Did I leave the sets of road signs in there?

I experimented with some of the unused ones from teh road sign prop 'sheet' but I thought I deleted them for the final 'release'. All of the other ones are just prop/ textures and not models/prop textures.

Oh, so it does.

At the time of my comment, the link would redirect me back to your main page, hence my remark.
Commented 19 years ago2004-11-21 12:28:06 UTC in vault item: Compo 12 Egyptian Museum Comment #5129
I like it :)

The map matches the reference photos very accurately, and was pretty detailed.

And I liked the tomb part - seemed accurate to images, again, and had some fun puzzles.

I'd suggest, though, putting this in a minimod format, so we can just run your mod and make a new game instead of manually running the map - It's much more convenient for everyone that way.

Try Snarkpit's example on how to setup SDK for HL2.

Teh final SDK should be released in a few weeks. Displacement mapping does work in the SDK out now, though.
Commented 19 years ago2004-11-14 17:13:41 UTC in vault item: stepping_stones Comment #5048
If that's terrain I see, you might wanna hold off on it, if you're making this for HL2 - Displacement mapping renders VM terrain obsolete.
