@Snehk

Ok, I'll find an another use to that temple then.

"Rukava" is plural. "Rukav" is singular.

@Admer456

You can make curved arched staircases (I hope I called it right) with Jackhammer. So I suppose he used it. Or maybe it's entirely handmade...

@Trempler

"I even made a hollowed Ball DM Map but never released it."

Is it like "killbox" but "killball"?

@Trempler

Wow, I have never been good at making industrial/sci-fi maps. Nice "curves" on the last screenie btw. Did you use jackhammer?

@Snehk

If you really want to, you can copy anything from my screenshots. And if I don't finish this map, I will send you the map sources so you will find a better use for it. I have also an another temple map where I used custom textures the first time. I don't need it at the moment, so I can throw it to you later.
Deadlands... Can I use it as the name of the map? "masonry" sounds so stupid.

@Admer456

I see what you did here. I'll keep that in mind.

In russian you can say "zasuchit' rukava". It has nothing in common with "suka" though. There's a similar word in belarussian "shukat' " which means "to find", "to look for". Belarussian is, in fact, like russian but it's 3 times funnier.

And I have finally finished this room:

@Admer456
"Suka" also means "Female dog". It's rudeness depends on how you use it. But russian-speaking people usually use word "Sobaka" instead.

Quake 3 really helps me with making that map:

If only GoldSrc had curves...

@Snehk

Why wouldn't you start designing the levels of the game? I know it's too early to do, but you must have at least an idea of how will some of the most memorable places look.

@Admer456

And that friend used a lot of "truly russian words" I suppose?

Don't worry. These days almost any 7-8 years-old boy in Belarus/Russia can send you to "Haxyu".

Since you're polish, it will be easy I think. I can understand some words in polish.

Ah, sweet... This map needs more russian words. Cliffs are a bit flat though.

And about that "boner": believe me, I can find you (at least I can try) hundreds of alternatives to that word in russian if you really want. Didn't get it because of a different language. I know english much worse than you do.

@Snehk

Thank you. The map, though, is only 55% completed (approximately). The hardest part is placing the sky brushes and wadincluding these CS textures.
You could send that fish to me though. Would be an amazing easter egg!

@Amder456

Dude, it's only my humble opinion, but that blue light looks really out of place. A yellow one would look much better. Great job overall.

The sky is just a placeholder.

in Brush Sizing in Hammer 3.4 Post #335116

As far as I know that's how hammer works, and you can't fix it. You should use Jackhammer instead. It's like hammer, but it's 10 times better. Jackhammer is free, but if you want to support the developer, then you can buy the steam version.

PI_GRNMETALT from de_piranesi.wad will look good on the arches. It's also good for the pillars.

Those arches look a bit dust-like. I'd suggest you to replace them with generic ones. You also said to me in the shoutbox that the map shouldn't have a lot of detail. But looks nice overall.
And yes, a few more questions:

-Do you use any custom textures?

-Are those windows actually a part of the texture?

I've tried it with hammer directly

Have you been using jackhammer before? If so, then it's horrible that you switched back to hammer. You could put a levelchange on your map at this point though, and then work on the second part.

This can also be a VIS problem, I have no idea. Try to do a full compile, maybe this can help.

@Solokiller

Oh, you mean the VHLT compilers I use are worse than the SC ones? Do they have the features the original VHLT compilers offer? If so, I'll switch to the SC compilers. Would be nice if I could use them with the vanilla HL.

About the problem map, I don't think that reducing the texture scale will help. His map is almost twice as large as the largest map you can make.

Looks suspicious. Very suspicious....
It seems your map hits the limits hard. Or I don't get something.

EDIT: Aha! Here it is:

Warning: Number of world faces(33649) exceeded 32768. Some faces will disappear in game.
To reduce world faces, change some world brushes (including func_details) to func_walls.

Hmm, de_storm textures, eh?

Yep. Did I say I'm converting dm_masonry to HLDM? No worries, I'll credit these wads. There aren't just de_storm textures btw, there are some from cbble, chateau and other maps (mostly trims).

Looked at the map from the top 2D view and you know? It would be too big for HLDM because the "temple" is really massive, so I split the map in two different maps.

@Admer456

A CS level with a helicopter? Interesting.

Dm_masonry (lol, I'm really bad at naming my maps) is inspired by Quake 1 which I finished yesterday. It was way more satisfying to play Quake 1 then Quake 2. I like Q1 the most.

Making a passage to the middle:

And then I will copy-paste all this to the other side of the map and retexture it a bit.

P. S. Multirockets from Dissolution of Eternity are so overpowered.

@EsprimoP

Thank you. There are some tricks I didn't mention:
You actually can move vertices horizontally, but only at the top view:

And you can also rotate a segment at the top view to smooth the corners if you need to:

Also, I once compiled what I made with this method and didn't encounter any problems with BEVELed terrain. So I suggest you use it most of the time, just retexture it a bit to look not as annoying as it does in zhlt.wad.
You also should thank Admer for that method. He gave me the idea and I would never think of that texturing method if not him.
