Thank you very much for the suggestions guys, I will take them into consideration. Though remember, this is a WIP thread. That's a screenshot of something not finished yet.
Explanations now.
What are the posts for? The times I've seen posts spread out like that is simply to prevent vehicles from entering an area
Exactly.
All those electrical things, capacitors, pipes(there is some red pulsing light near the pipes in the middle but you can't see them) are supposed to power up the lift. Which, in HL2 terms, is simply huge.
I am sorry I will say this but I have to use yellowish light. I am adding variety yes, but I want a nice warm athmosphere there to give the player a "safe" feeeling. Also, the light beams are there but the light isn't, you think? No, it's just that "200" is not enough intensity, and I have to make it a bit brighter.
The problem is that I don't want to show you all. After all, a good impression is a first impression, and that first impression I want to come from the map itself not from screenshots although I can't resist posting wip screens here :D. Trust me, that chamber actually feels and looks a lot better than in the screenshot :P.
I am also trying to use some custom textures. I've read a thread on Facepunch and saw that many players would like less "default gmod" looking. I am currently using a custom grass texture(was hard to make). Since making my own textures is a bit time consuming and I am not a texture artist, can you guys recommend me some resources like this? Are there any sites that host vtf. quality textures, possibly high res?
One more note. This is a gmod map. Gmod maps aren't supposed to be detailed, but this is one of the areas that are of central interest, so I do accept all of your comments, as it will be more detailed.
