Here's the thread to discuss Destructification!, continuing the tradition.

Didn't get the idea... you need to create a post-disaster area that will be afterward destroyed? I don't like the map... too much detailed, if it wouldn't be so detailed then it would give more freedom of thought. Now that it's detailed I'm stuck with that theme! Couldn't you just make it plain and simple with one with one texture, not with any theme?
Anyway I hate the idea if I can't can only add small detail. Give us liberty to do everything in the inside with the same layout. Without that it is just kasperg's map with diffrent textures, sound, NPCs and lighting!

Uninteresting compo... why do you give us base maps? It's not a mapping compo, it's an editing compo! Get my point?

nice idea for a compo

Cool idea, but I think you should be able to create the map from the ground up. Just the most well made map post destruction.

I for one LOVE the idea!
I have one quesiton though,
Do we include the origional map, and then have a destruction levelchange where the player must then work his way back, or do we just destroy the hell outa the thing?

Meh, the theme of the map really limits creativity, in my opinion. There's not a whole lot new you can do, with that kind of archetecture. You're basically just stuck with the underground base theme...

Awsome idea!
This is gonna be really fun...
I've already done several of the custom textures for my entry... I'm gonna get started on the mapping tommorrow

Am i the only one getting perpendicular faces when i check for problems? i havent edited the map so i dont really see how its possible if Kasperg got it to compile
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-12 19:11:52 UTC
Post #173837
compiles for me...
i got lots of errors when i alt+p:
Invalid Texture (NULL) x18
Solid Entity (func_wall and func_pushable) is empty x4
Texture Axis perpendicular to Face x5

Interesting compo...Though I think Kasperg has done entirely too much and kinda left us without that much to do.
Unlike the other base maps which where just the very standard room with like 3 textures.
Very much limited, but I shall still enter probably.

You aren't supposed to add detail you are supposed to destroy the map post disaster-like. I have the most amazing idea for mine, along with some haunting music
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-12 20:32:40 UTC
Post #173860
Well, I'm hopinh we can edit it a fair bit, so long as we keep the basic layout. For one, there's a few examples of overlapping brushwork, which is just mapping suicide. Two, I'm not particularaly impressed with the texturing, so I want to change it.

Post #173864
You are to create a post-disaster version of the provided base map by modifying brushwork, lighting, ambience etc.it seems you cant edit textures, unless they are 'destroyed' versions of the original ones. think about it, if a building was destroyed, the walls just wouldnt magically change from say, for example, bricks to plasterboard.
but if a competition official were to permit changing of textures, i would be all for it

Post #173872
the map from base concept in itself is sweet.
and everybody here think about it. This compo is to take an area and make it look like something just destroyed the hell out of it. If Kas hadn't made a complex map, what would you have destroyed?

I for one guys, have started deleting certain objects, and replaced all the textures with the null texture.. I'm now adding detail, and retexturing.
and so far.. its looking great!
But don't worry, the structure will still be there. 
Oh, and PengiunBoy, texture is allowed to be changed, thats what gives us our leverage... It's a map from base.
So anyways, Goodluck everyone, and may the best win!
Hopefully, I'll at least place third, or fourth for that matter.. lol :/

Do we include the origional map, and then have a destruction levelchange where the player must then work his way back, or do we just destroy the hell outa the thing?Your choice, really. It's not that restricted.

All custom textures should be -wadincludedNo restriction on using custom textures. You're only limited to an underground base if you lack imagination :|.
You can, of course, improve the minor details like doors which are set in front of walls, dodgy brushes, etc. The important thing is that you keep most of the structure (obviously parts of it are likely to be destroyed).

It's a very twisted theme

Oh, and Kas, why did you see fit to have such a imperfect map
I see myself spending a day just cleaning it up. although the destruction part won't take long for me.

I'm not sure I'll enter... I always think if I can remove or can't I remove something... this takes out all the fun. I'd like to make a futuristic map and It's quite hard to think on it with the given map. Ant can I contact you each time I have a question if I removed something that I shouldn't?

Post #173976
I think you can basically do whatever so long as you don't expand the layout i.e. places where you can go.

I'm hoping so, because I'd probably give it a good edit.

Post #173992
Where is that invalid texture... I already fixed the other errors! I'm going to remove all irelevent detail and texture the whole map with one texture! Afterward I'll make it my own. I advice the rest of you to do that too, kasperg did it too much detailed from an unknown reason.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-13 10:33:02 UTC
Post #173993
I'm confused.
Have I gotten this right?
You take the base map, and, you remake the whole thing so it looks like something really bad has happened (post disaster) ?

yea, Elon, thats what I did, I replaced all the textures with null first. So far I got 1 room retextured and some detail added.. I can't believe theres already an entry!

Would a nice camera seaquence showing the distruction of thr place will add to my map? It doesn't have to be black mesa's disaster, right? I'm making it far away from black mesa...

Hey, cool idea for the compo.
I'm gonna join once my PC is fully working again.
Does the disaster have to be the 'Test Chamber disaster' from HL1, or any disaster you want ?

It clearly states it can be any disaster.
But it has to be within the competition map, which you can download from the compo page.

OK
um, my PC really lags when I play this map for some reason.
Only when I'm in the start position, and looking down the tunnel, to the doorway.
Can anyone explain ? I haven't changed the map in any way.
