Reminds me of those annoying zombies from Quake. Hate them so much.

Oh, you know what does it all remind me of? There's a game called Enclave, I played it when I was little. You should try it if you haven't already or at least watch the playthrough. Enclave has very nice and beautiful levels.
I have many good memories about that game.
Here's a screenshot for you:

Well, I think you're right. I'll later try to create a spiral ramp manually, without any help of the advanced arch tool.
If you can manually make a spiral ramp or a curved pipe, making a hollow sphere should be easy. And then you can turn the sphere into func_rotating...

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...

"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.

"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?

Since you're polish, it will be easy I think. I can understand some words in polish.
"I'm too young to know that, so I shouldn't say it"Don't worry. These days almost any 7-8 years-old boy in Belarus/Russia can send you to "Haxyu".

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.

Also, you'll get to say that you've got your hands on my boner...What do you mean? I don't get it.
No thanks. I don't need boner since it's for your project
@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.
EDIT:
P.S.
The sky is just a placeholder.

Sorry for double-posting. Trying to keep this thread alive:
I'm not an expert and know nothing about "bunnyhopping", so this info was pretty useful for me. I know about defrag though, there's even an article about it on wikipedia.
Thanks, now I know a little more about q3.

Yeah, sorry, forgot about it. I never used Sledge though so I can't recommend it. What I'm sure about is that hammer is obsolete and there's no point to use it now.
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.
If you really like bhopping, play Quake 3. Wonderful game.
@Admer456
Oh, I know that texture.
P.S.
Don't even ask me why do I use the Brotherhood of Nod logo as the trigger texture.

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?

Nice enemy for a dark forest environment. It also fits various tombs/crypts. I like this model. Reminds me of a one of STALKER 2 mutants:
I really don't know what to write here
Still too cute to be an enemy. Isn't it going to be dark-fantasy?
@neophus775
As far as I know the only difference between the steam version and the free one is that the steam version has achievements. Achievements in a damn level editor...

Thank you. But the "temple" is now a separate map.
I need to stop abandoning my projects
I've tried it with hammer directlyHave 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.
Does anything intersect with the sky brush?
This can also be a VIS problem, I have no idea. Try to do a full compile, maybe this can help.

There's no need to create a separate thread for your map, post your WIP screenshots there instead: http://twhl.info/forums.php?thread=14851&page=last
In that thread you can also see what others are working on. Good luck.

Thank you. I will use the SC compilers instead.

Glad your problem has been solved. May you throw in some screenshots? Just curious.

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.

planes 57126/32768 1142520/655360 (174.3%)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.How big your map is?
To reduce world faces, change some world brushes (including func_details) to func_walls.
Ok, here's what I'm doing now, just to add some seriousness:
Isn't it too small to be the secret final boss?
I think Admer means cartoony messup-mods.
Shaders... That's good I'm not a Q3 mapper, lol.

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.
Converting dm_masonry to HLDM since the layout sucks for a cs map. Ascension had a better one.
Oh, so you need to actually speak to participate in such tournaments? Ok, I'll better buy Half-Life. Because imagine a voice of a 14 years-old nerd with a heavy russian Red Alert-like accent. Being able to connect to the TWHL HLDM server is all I need =).
Yeah, never use VHE anymore. When I first tried to map for Sven Co-op I had to use VHE because I didn't want to create a separate profile for Jackhammer. Getting back to VHE was very hard.
@2muchvideogames
Dude I know. I wish I could make an es_ map. The concept is really good. We could organize a game with TWHL members only, like PUG. Sadly, I use non-legal HL and CS at the moment. Is cs 1.6 free on steam?
