Ok, here's how I make terrain.
First I create a brush with a size of the area I want to create and texture it with BEVEL to decrease the amount of clipnodes:Then I clip it into multiple triangular prisms:After that I enter VM and start dragging verticies vertically:When I'm fine with the results I start to texture it. First I apply the texture I need to the ground:Then I select the face I applied the texture to and press Shift+F6:And I start left-clicking on the ground faces applying the texture to them:After that I do the same with the cliffs:I scale up the cliff texture a bit to get better results:Then I again use Shift+F6 to apply the cliff texture:There's a screenie of what you can make using this method:

Well, I have an idea... I still have some free space at the middle of the temple, so I can place a bomb site there. Thank you. Though how to make an as_, cs_ or es_ layouts is still unclear to me.
Nice! It has a layout which is way better than the one on my map. On any of my maps, lol.
@Rimrook
Well, it's actually a CSDM. Sadly I just can't make an intersting cs or de layout. I, however, could have try to port this to HLDM but I'm la-a-a-azy, so I can't promise anything.
Oh, and what's that little invention you're talking about? Is it for a game? I'm just relatively new to this place.
More progress on the "temple":
De_storm textures are wonderful, aren't they?

Some progress on the fortress (I don't think it's gonna be a temple. Well, I'm not sure yet):
Placing skybox will be a little tricky:
So this is the whole thing:
Started building one of the temples:
EDIT: Worked on the temple/fortress/whateveritis entrance. I think now it looks way better:

Shaders? I heard of them many times but I don't even know what are they for. As far as I know you have to code them manually.
Added some supports:
It's gonna be a dm_ map. I just can't make myself create something non-dm.
Added some supports:
Thanks. Would've made the arches better but got a lot of invalid solids. I was too lazy to fix all this.
How do I make a map for the Darkplaces Quake port btw? Do I need to use a different editor instead of Jackhammer, like GTKradiant? I just know nothing about Darkplaces.

Looks like this map has more chances to be finished unlike asde_science:
We need someone who will voice all this over.

To be honest, I wanted to participate too. But my SP-map was terrible and since I was new to this site I didn't know that the competition deadline will be extended. So I just abandoned that project.
Zeeba-G's entry was a stalkyard-inspired map.

Thanks, I'll try that out.
Thank you, but that's not the problem. I can't allign these two edges on the screenie.
@Admer456
I would, but since I'm just messing around with modelling software I don't need it. I need to get used to the controls first.
Now I need to figure out how the hell do I snap those two edges:

Couldn't even properly shape it, lol.
I'm better at mapping. Way better.
So yeah, I'm better at modelling. Not far better, literally just "better".I hoped you'll say that. Because I understand modelling better. Can't say I'm good at it though:

Ah, the T-Pose. Now I know why everybody uses it.
Did I say I will wait as much as you need? =)
Are you going to stream today, Tet?

It made me establish my foundation for my modelling and coding skillsSo what are you better at - modelling or coding?
Correction, I used to work on a mod. (if you want an explanation of "used to" and what it means, then feel free to ask)I know. Sometimes can't pick a more suitable word. Either because of my bad english knowledge or because of my bad memory. Sometimes I even forget the date of my own birthday, lol. I can start placing a "sorry for bad english" mark at the end of every of my posts if you want.
Some screenies of the lab, since it's a WIP thread:

@abbadon
Brutal Doom doesn't deserve such popularity. What a shity balance-breaking mod.
@Snehk
Sorry then. I thought you have forgotten about that page.
Also, will there be multiple classes in your mod? Like common Warrior/Thief/Mage options?
@Admer456
So you were working on a mod?

You haven't been updating your moddb page for quite a long time.
Since the map has lots of triangular prisms already, I had to find another way of making caves. Adding more triangular prisms would make the performance impact even more extreme, so I cheated:
Looks worse than the ones made of tprisms, but it's less laggy and easier to make.
EDIT: Phew, almost showed my taskbar. That was close.

Almost finished making this area:
Vehicle War? That's interesting... When I finish that asde_ map I'll try to get into this gamemode.
The progress is slow though. Instead of working on the map I'm playing HL1... I don't know how much times I have completed it. 30? 40? I don't know.

Cs map must be simple and fun. If it's too complicated nobody will like it. Dm_ascension had a simple symmetrical layout, which I think is pretty good. The problem was the wpolys. So it's the best cs map I've made so far.
Now I'm thinking of how to simplify the research lab without making it look ugly.
Retextured the outdoor area a bit:
You will be able to get there only through the vent at the generator room. You can't reach any of the func_vip_safetyzones from there, but I will add some sniper sports. You will be able to see one of the func_bombtargets from one of the spots.

"Dede" in fact means "grandpa"Just as I thought.
True. Sometimes I say stupid things.
@Snehk
@Admer456
Does "dede" mean "Grandpa" or it actually means "Old"? Since there's a similar word in russian.
Also, what's so difficult about setting up jackhammer to work with Sven Co-op? That was pretty easy, only needed to change "cl_skyname(string)" to "cl_skyname(sky)" and now I have a dropping-down list with all the skies available.
but I'm kinda out of my dev moodSame problem here.
Maybe there's some better .fgd in the web?It's actually good because it allows hammer to render models but for some reason it works only in hammer 3.5. I'm pleased with this .fgd anyway, this info_vip_start just made me smile.

It's not good if one part of the level looks almost the same as the other one.
Why wouldn't you make each part of the station look different?

My fgd is really bad:
I need a better one.

Wiremod and coding are the things I'll never manage to understand.
Well, it actually has collisions.I know. Was just wondering did you make the support beam passable.
env_render just modifies its Render Mode and Render Amount parameters
This map gets way too complex for a CS map:
@Snehk
Paths? Oh that reminds me of Tetsu0's modelling stream.
@Admer456
I know already, just didn't see that:

Looks like I am applying env_renders and func_door_rotating's very wellI suppose the second (invisible) support beam has no collisions?
Didn't see that, sorry.
@Admer456
Wow. How did you make that support to bounce away? It's obviously not a func_train.
@Snehk
So what exactly was giving you the problems? Just curious.

Yes, you can use any fgd you want, but then some features like model rendering, cl_skyname selection menu and arrows that show the direction of some point entites will just not work.
Does this part cover how to adapt a .fgd for Jackhammer?
@Admer456
I don't think slender would scare somebody older than 14 years.
Meanwhile I tried to make something for Sven Co-op. I was too lazy to set up Jackhammer for it so I used hammer. That was really hard.
