I don't know exactly why, but as simple as that looks, it still seems really good.

EDIT: Like the filename, too.

Your intuition is correct, Urby, it is the Nerd's basement, better known as the Nerd Room:

The lighting is way better in the map. This is a horrid screenie if you want to see the lighting in the map.

Some of them look...stretched. Or like they're (for example) .01x1.00
Other than that, it looks okay.

All the doom textures unfortunately look stretched as hell. I don't know how id did it but they did a damn good job at making the levels look good.

Also had to use a shitload of point lighting because the textures don't emit light.

Try using info_texlights

[copypasted from the rooms thread]
How to use:
info_texlights

This is special entity that Zoners Compile Tools uses to extract light data for a compile. It is very simple to use and Half-Life doesn't use it so it simply won't spawn making it a error free replacement for a .rad file.

How to use:
Create an entity, any entity, and rename it to info_texlights. Hammer will automatically disable smartedit because it does not recognise the entity. This is a good thing because you don't want to use smartedit. Now, lets say you have a light texture and want it to emit, hey, light. Edit the info_texlights and ADD a keyvalue. In the 'key' box enter the name of your texture, eg, mylight01. in the value box, enter the colour and brightness values, just like you would in a light.rad file. (red, green, blue, brightness) Its that simple. You can have as many entries as you want.

oh well, i'll just edit the rad file eventually.

for now i'll just decrease the light brightness on the lights

Looks good there, Joe.
Normally, you should avoid having textures stretch that much, but in your case, it makes the map look good, in a shiny metal kind of way.

But i agree with TJB that you should use texturelights. Its very easy to make your custom textures emit light. It's just up to you to decide whether you want to use the info_textlights entity or use a rad (radiosity) file. If you need help with this, pm me on Steam and ill help you out.

Thanks Atom, I appreciate it. :)

Oh shit, i just noticed that the lights are a bit off.

I think it's looking good. Save for some texture choices (such as the couch texture for the floor) but it's alright.

I think the screenshots are too small to see anything.
Also you shouldn't upload bmps. Ever.

Nobody waits for bmps to load. They're massive.

Looks nice disco! you always make decent use of the original textures.. (can't wait to see what special effects doodads you've in the map..)

@DiscoStu: Damn! That's some nice use of stock textures. I'm impressed.

@Atom: Is it bad that I guessed that? Maybe the scale is so perfect that I subconsciously picked up on it.

Actually I hate making textures, because I suck at it. So I have to make do with what's at hand.

My pictures were bmps.

So, why did it load faster than his?

Posted 14 years ago2010-03-24 06:34:05 UTC Post #279966
Because imageshack or wherever you uploaded them automatically converts them to jpeg if they're bmps.

They convert to PNGs so they keep their color palette.

I WAS working on a new KOTH map with 4 hills. The first hill is just a big hill. I haven't thought of the 3 others yet. Screens pending.

Posted 14 years ago2010-03-24 14:12:22 UTC Post #279972
robbas: it's not the point whether we are slow or not. you really have to "assume" that everyone is slow. Would you design a game that couldn't be played on any older systems? Plus, who, besides graphic designers even use .bmps anymore? Doesn't your screen capture program use .jpg? The only reason I use a .bmp is if I want the image to STAY crisp and clean. You can edit a .bmp and it will never change. Edit a .jpg and it will add a layer of "dust" every time you edit it.

yes, friends, it is true! please don't argue with me over this, ok?

I know you guys...

discostu: you kinda took my idea a little. I was trying to figure something like you have but couldn't get the friggin thing outta my head. The floor, although against my design methods, looks pretty good. I always like to design something like I was actually going to build it and I don't put carpet in diagonally but who's to say it wasn't made like that.

I am working on a source cubicle entry cause I simply don't have HL1 installed or set-up to map anymore. If I remember correctly it's a pain to set up so I will just stay where I am at. I am used to source now. Had another nice map to post but I have one diagonal solid that won't be nice.

Same goes for PNG. BMPs are uncompress, while PNGs use lossless compression.

Don't upload screenshots as PNG either. PNG is good for images where there is lots of the same colour, such as images of plain text. It doesn't work well when you have lots of different colours like in a game screenshot or a photo. Compress to jpeg with 90% quality and you will hardly notice the difference, except the filesize will be 10 times smaller. Use IrfanView to convert them if you don't have a proper image program.

You are certain? I've been using png a lot lately for game shots and the quality says a big fuck you to 90% jpg and I really don't see any loss of colour @_@ Teach me please :o

It's good for a new mapper. You've used sloped surfaces, and interesting architecture, at least in that hallway. That's a good sign.
