Since you're polish, it will be easy I think. I can understand some words in polish.

Ah, sweet... This map needs more russian words. Cliffs are a bit flat though.
And about that "boner": believe me, I can find you (at least I can try) hundreds of alternatives to that word in russian if you really want. Didn't get it because of a different language. I know english much worse than you do.

Also, you'll get to say that you've got your hands on my boner...What do you mean? I don't get it.
No thanks. I don't need boner since it's for your project
@Snehk
Thank you. The map, though, is only 55% completed (approximately). The hardest part is placing the sky brushes and wadincluding these CS textures.
You could send that fish to me though. Would be an amazing easter egg!
@Amder456
Dude, it's only my humble opinion, but that blue light looks really out of place. A yellow one would look much better. Great job overall.
EDIT:
P.S.
The sky is just a placeholder.

Sorry for double-posting. Trying to keep this thread alive:
I'm not an expert and know nothing about "bunnyhopping", so this info was pretty useful for me. I know about defrag though, there's even an article about it on wikipedia.
Thanks, now I know a little more about q3.

Yeah, sorry, forgot about it. I never used Sledge though so I can't recommend it. What I'm sure about is that hammer is obsolete and there's no point to use it now.
As far as I know that's how hammer works, and you can't fix it. You should use Jackhammer instead. It's like hammer, but it's 10 times better. Jackhammer is free, but if you want to support the developer, then you can buy the steam version.
If you really like bhopping, play Quake 3. Wonderful game.
@Admer456
Oh, I know that texture.
P.S.
Don't even ask me why do I use the Brotherhood of Nod logo as the trigger texture.

PI_GRNMETALT from de_piranesi.wad will look good on the arches. It's also good for the pillars.
Those arches look a bit dust-like. I'd suggest you to replace them with generic ones. You also said to me in the shoutbox that the map shouldn't have a lot of detail. But looks nice overall.
And yes, a few more questions:
-Do you use any custom textures?
-Are those windows actually a part of the texture?

Nice enemy for a dark forest environment. It also fits various tombs/crypts. I like this model. Reminds me of a one of STALKER 2 mutants:
I really don't know what to write here
Still too cute to be an enemy. Isn't it going to be dark-fantasy?
@neophus775
As far as I know the only difference between the steam version and the free one is that the steam version has achievements. Achievements in a damn level editor...

Thank you. But the "temple" is now a separate map.
I need to stop abandoning my projects
I've tried it with hammer directlyHave you been using jackhammer before? If so, then it's horrible that you switched back to hammer. You could put a levelchange on your map at this point though, and then work on the second part.
Does anything intersect with the sky brush?
This can also be a VIS problem, I have no idea. Try to do a full compile, maybe this can help.

There's no need to create a separate thread for your map, post your WIP screenshots there instead: http://twhl.info/forums.php?thread=14851&page=last
In that thread you can also see what others are working on. Good luck.

Thank you. I will use the SC compilers instead.

Glad your problem has been solved. May you throw in some screenshots? Just curious.

Oh, you mean the VHLT compilers I use are worse than the SC ones? Do they have the features the original VHLT compilers offer? If so, I'll switch to the SC compilers. Would be nice if I could use them with the vanilla HL.
About the problem map, I don't think that reducing the texture scale will help. His map is almost twice as large as the largest map you can make.

planes 57126/32768 1142520/655360 (174.3%)Looks suspicious. Very suspicious....
It seems your map hits the limits hard. Or I don't get something.
EDIT: Aha! Here it is:
Warning: Number of world faces(33649) exceeded 32768. Some faces will disappear in game.How big your map is?
To reduce world faces, change some world brushes (including func_details) to func_walls.
Ok, here's what I'm doing now, just to add some seriousness:
Isn't it too small to be the secret final boss?
I think Admer means cartoony messup-mods.
Shaders... That's good I'm not a Q3 mapper, lol.

Now you need to code it...

Is it gonna be a high-level boss? xd

Hmm, de_storm textures, eh?Yep. Did I say I'm converting dm_masonry to HLDM? No worries, I'll credit these wads. There aren't just de_storm textures btw, there are some from cbble, chateau and other maps (mostly trims).
Looked at the map from the top 2D view and you know? It would be too big for HLDM because the "temple" is really massive, so I split the map in two different maps.
Converting dm_masonry to HLDM since the layout sucks for a cs map. Ascension had a better one.
Oh, so you need to actually speak to participate in such tournaments? Ok, I'll better buy Half-Life. Because imagine a voice of a 14 years-old nerd with a heavy russian Red Alert-like accent. Being able to connect to the TWHL HLDM server is all I need =).
Yeah, never use VHE anymore. When I first tried to map for Sven Co-op I had to use VHE because I didn't want to create a separate profile for Jackhammer. Getting back to VHE was very hard.
@2muchvideogames
Dude I know. I wish I could make an es_ map. The concept is really good. We could organize a game with TWHL members only, like PUG. Sadly, I use non-legal HL and CS at the moment. Is cs 1.6 free on steam?

@Admer456
A CS level with a helicopter? Interesting.
Dm_masonry (lol, I'm really bad at naming my maps) is inspired by Quake 1 which I finished yesterday. It was way more satisfying to play Quake 1 then Quake 2. I like Q1 the most.
Making a passage to the middle:
And then I will copy-paste all this to the other side of the map and retexture it a bit.
P. S. Multirockets from Dissolution of Eternity are so overpowered.

I use BEVEL just to make sure everything works right. "-cliptype precise" really helps btw.
@EsprimoP
Thank you. There are some tricks I didn't mention:
You actually can move vertices horizontally, but only at the top view:
And you can also rotate a segment at the top view to smooth the corners if you need to:
Also, I once compiled what I made with this method and didn't encounter any problems with BEVELed terrain. So I suggest you use it most of the time, just retexture it a bit to look not as annoying as it does in zhlt.wad.
You also should thank Admer for that method. He gave me the idea and I would never think of that texturing method if not him.

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?
