Dm_Orithia is a new map im working on, i've been working on it for quite some time now and will be working on it for quite some time. And it's a concept i've never tryed out before so im learning in the process as well, and that's also a reason why it will take some time + the fact tham im busy a lot of the time.
It is a HL1 map, DM offcourse, with custom textures, custom sprites and if i can get my sound working on my computer there will also be custom sounds.
But im facing some technical problems, such as no usb at the moment, that's why i can't post any screenies, but they will come, that's a promise. and im also having some problems with the software, not major problems, they only slow me down and don't prevent me from mapping.
anyway, dm_orithia is a temple, and old but intact temple so it's no cracks in the walls or such, but there is a lot of greenery everywhere. the temple is very moist so a lot of plants, grass and such had no problem growing.
But this ain't a normal temple, and it's not placed in any sertain time, place or planet. and that is to give me a lot of freedom in making the map good looking, it doesn't have to be realistic. so the architecture is so far very cool.
And im also learning how to make textures, rimrook gave me a lot good advice at that point, and he also let me borrow the grass from dm_poisongarden. So all the textures but the grass will be made by me
(thanks rim, your grass is making the map beutiful)
Im done with about 50% of the textures
30% on the mapping part
50% on the sprites
and if im going to add custom sound it's on 0%
I will post screenies as soon as my usb is fixed.
what do you think?
