chea cubicles chea! 6 entries not counting rim's and ones that have been submitted directly to rimrook and/or not posted to the map vault.
I'm all for more projects to do with the minimap idea, but probably only if they are source based. If i build any more goldsource maps, they will be very smallish like example maps, and i might enter a map in Reissues 2, but that's it.

Anyone have updates on their cubicles entries? rimmy?
I might try adding some combat/gameplay to mine, as well sounds/music and a custom sky, though i'm kinda balls-deep in a source project atm..

Thanks all for comments i will look into decal creation or i might try rims method in nodrawing the edges and making them partially transparent, just because i feel it gives much more flexibility adding the parking stripes. (if i take the extra work and brush them directly into the floor, they look perfect, but i don't know if i feel like doing the extra brushwork, lol)

Don't models recieve the lighting from the lighting on the brushes below them?
You might try putting a brush below the tree, and rendering it null except for the top face, which you will put any texture you want.
make that texture a texlight, and make the whole brush a func_illusionary, and render it it invisible by using the following rendering properties:
rendermode: texture
renderamount: 1
for the textlight, you can use the info_texlight entity by:
1. shift/copy and rename a info_player_start to "info_texlights" (no quotes)
2. hit the button to add a new key
3. "key" will be the name of the texture you want to make the textlight.
4. "value" will be the color and brightness of the textlight e.g.
255 255 255 100
would be pure white light, with a brigtness of 100.
Start with a brightness of 100 and see if it helps. This idea might not work at all but it's worth trying if you can't solve it another way..

ha thanks! =)
and chea, definitely i need to add more things to the lot tho i have no idea what i'm going to put in there, besides more cars and shopping carts of course, lol.. =)
1 sides of the map will be bordered by mini wood stockade fence and a denny's resturant, and three other sides will be borderd by streets and buildings beyond, with 3d skybox. the playable area tho will be limited to the parking lot and inside the super market.

My first real source map, a supermarket:
It going VERY slowly, tho i try to work on it at least a little bit every day. Originally it was to be for CS:S but i may change it over to a L4D survival map....
Rim that looks wicked! i really need to buy l4d2...

Surprisingly good! Anything with Sam Raimi involved seems to be decent.. Also watched V (1983) (the original miniseries) which was still surprisingly decent after all this time..

Klobb: Nice stuff nice to see you around still! = )
Rim: yeah it sucks to lose work like that =(. I do manual backups to a seperate folder in my maps folder every hour or so of work, or if i change anything major...
DonPunch: Great stuff! = )

Share some of the tips/quirks/tricks you've learned mapping for source!
One thing i've learned immediately (i just started source mapping) is that any hidden groups in hammer 4 are not compiled!

TS:S - i would like to see a sequel to TS for source since i've started playing TS for the first time recently and i love it.
Just tested, and cycler_sprite works for me using hammer 3.5. I took the 3dm_fastcar.mdl from 3d-mike's cs_bikini and it worked fine (i could walk through the car). the only thing i had to do was copy the model to my valve/models dir, and manually type in the filename:
models/cs_bikini/3dm_fastcar.mdl
Because cycler_sprite for me, will only allow you to choose *.spr filenames fsr...
models/cs_bikini/3dm_fastcar.mdl

i might have an old version of hammer zeeba i'll look on my old computer when i get home... And as for what you're trying to do, let me get it straight: are you trying to make a model "passable"?
Do the monster_furnitures act that way?

Ha movie theatre! =)
Looks like a good start to me. To make things look realistic, use reference pics of various movie theatres, and use them as a guide.
for the chairs i would personally make them func_illusionary, and use simply-shaped clip brushes to approximate there boundries. (this should cut down on your compile time for so many chairs)
you might also make the movie screen a texturelight, and possibly a renerfx to make i look realistic. (you might also layer 2 "screens" with one of a normal rednerfx/mode, and one with some kind of flicker or even "distort" or "hologram" to make the screen look like it's being projected.
last but not least i would use a fade brush to simulate the movie projector's projection(like cs_office but much bigger) from halflife.wad, and set rendermode to "texture" and experiment with the renderamout, tho i would recommend 5-15.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but I think it could use some kind of exlanation of what all the options do. It seems like it'd be rough on people who don't know (like me, for example).If you're talking about the compile stage paramaters, i thought it already did that. (hovering your mouse pointer over a paramater should make it's function/definition pop up in the bottom box, right?)
zomg how did you get map to match the concept art so perfectly?! that's insane!

Is everything made out of world brushes or are you modeling too?
-possibly replace parkan lights with a crystal chandalier
-add sounds
-possibly add sitting scientists at table, behind bar?
-detail bar (underneath where the player is standing now)
-detail balcony
-possibly custom sky for an appropriate look out the windows...
Striker: I disagree, but that is a very nice rhyme!
I never use hammer compile for anything. Among other reasons using hammer to run the tools can inexplicably cause errors sometimes for no apparent reason.
Compilator is easier/faster/better. I can't think of one reason to use hammer for compiles, but that's just me...

Robocop, terminator, and total recall are on my all-time favourites list, but i wouldn't rank those other you mentioned any where near them..

chea i agree, yet i have no talent skinning with modeling programs. I know rim has suggested some texure map helpers like roadkill, and my friend said zbrush is relatively easy to skin with, but i haven't tried it yet.
Do you model and if so, how do you go about it?

Anyone have this archived?
It is supposedly the first map uploaded to twhl! (so i read in the comments)

wow those are sex! nice render the last looks really good, and realistic except the chrome stuff like the pipes, fueltank, rims, and bumper look weird to me fsr

aw you missed the surprise. try this one.

This looks great and i applaud your quick progress! As soon as i finish my cubicles entry i'm switching to source mapping (your mapping is inspiring me)

Is it too late?!
strider: that looks amazing so that's using hammer 4?
Rim: Really good and nice explanation! It would look better with like 2 more horizontal segments, but you'd quadruple your vm work... Did you build 1 quarter of the torus and then clone the other 3, or did you manually build the whole thing?
i'm not sure if i know exactly what you mean about using the arch tool, but i'll check it out!
Hotdog: screenie?
Found at least 2 more of these searching tunnel or torus in the vault... I want to build one now to enter the unofficial torus/twisted-tunnel competition...

Dumb and boring. the only good/interesting scenes are from the trailer, and the 3D looks stupid and completely nonexistent through most of the film. I wanted to leave halfway through and i almost did.

yeah i love cyberbunk as much as anyone but i didn't care for BR all that much... (got to see the "flying car" from mgm studios in their junk pile, that was kinda cool i guess.. = )Ha i just watched fifth Element today (before i saw the thread). I think it's superb! It's visually beautiful, hardcore action mixed with light-hearted humor, and Bruce Willis saving the universe from evil; what's not to love?! I also love to see movies that try to depict the far future, and in this aspect, The Fifth Element is my fav.
saribous: noted and added to the cue. =)
Strider: LOL that is priceless. i kinda liked LALD, but probably because it had Dr. Quinn Medicine Women when she was young and super-hot..

As for the Bond film, i dunno i love Casino Royale.. maybe i'm just gay for Daniel Craig?saribous: noted and added to the cue. =)

I am watching Ponyo, the latest film by Miyazaki.god i dunno, that could be the most pointless/stupid animated film i've ever seen, but since you give it a high recommendation, i'll give it another try?
looks gorgeous man! 
Now:
Radiohead - No Surprises
Then:
Red Hunter - The Fall

you could maybe make it differentiate between explosive and single bullet guns.
Put multiple small(like 1-unit blocks), shootable func_buttons, (like 6 of them, but experiment on what works) in a medium-sized radius around the center of the door.
A single bullet will never hit all the buttons, but the rpg should, and activate the door. This is not my idea, but i've seen it done in an example before (can't remember the example for the life of me).
hope helps!

Question:
Is it the entire map that must not exceed 512 cubed, or the playable area. <notions of mirrored rooms and balconies dance in my head..> (if this has been covered already i apologize unreservedly)
