dm_terrain

Please comment and rate. This is my first DM map ever so don't be too harsh.

it looks full bright.

and skyboxed.

not skyboxed or fullbright. this was alot of fun to play hldm with. it had some terrible moments of clipping, and some areas which could be worked on, but weapon placement was nice, and putting aside the clipping the landscape was quite nice. i would recommend something between you and the sky brush though. i give it 3/5. go work on the terrain some more, and itll probably get up to a 4.

Looks nice at first, but I don't think it'll make a very good DM map. Connectivity is pretty bad, movability on such terrain too. The HL engine doesn't really coop well with such terrain...

As I said, looks nice, although texturing is somewhat boring and could use some tweaking too, like the edges between grass and rock, and the stretched textures. Some tree's and such would be nice too, maybe a beach or something as it looks tropical for some reason. It's bright, yes, and I like it.

With a decent layout this style can make up for some good fragging, especially the vertical variation.

it isnt actually too bad a hldm map. we had a round of it about 5 mins ago, lots of fun (cept for that egon-humping maniac jaardsi... grr)

thumbs up for VM'ing. tres stars.

Fun stuff. I kept getting stuck though; "Someone come kill me! I'm stuck!" but it appears you've fixed that.

The double (or triple) Hguns kind of annoyed me, maybe thats just 'coz I got pwned by them so much though ;).

This is a wonderful first dm_... map! Nice work with the terrian, absolutly a very good job!

I DMed this map with trapt.
On a scale from 1 to 10...

Grpahics: 10, very good use of the VM tool and had nice geometry. It really did look like a big rocky place.

Lighting: 6, a little bright and non-ambient. adjust the angles of light_environment to make shadows and such.

Variety: 8.5, I liked the way alot of the rock formations came together with rock arches and cliffs.

Ambience: 2.5, could use some sounds and echo effects to lively it up. But the area matched the sky texture very well.

Playability: 9, Very fun to play HLDM on it. Lotsa weapons and etc. but the clipping problem needs to be fixed.

HINTS: Use the "clip" texture to smoothen out clipping problems. fill little crack and crevices with a block that is textured with the "clip" texture. Use the point entity "ambience_generic" and add the sound "ambience/crickets.wav" or "ambience/crickeet.wav" to add ambience. Then use "env_sound" and pick a nice echo effect for the map. Round off the squareness of the map and you could place the setting on a big rock bluff or something. so when you fall of the side, you fall to your doom. Just some advice from me.... Overall 4 stars!!!

Nice terrain God job, but it really looks fullbright :/

Well I checked it out 10 years later, I imagined it far bigger and got stuck, not recommended!
