If the r_speeds allow it, ill add some more detail to them. But really, its a hallway to connect each individual labs, most detail goes into the labs, not the hallways.

That bridge or whatever it is at the bottom left looks really bad.
I think you can make that map look good when it's finished.

The main problem with this assault is that whatever building you see, you can enter it. Unlike other assault modifications, my modification has lots of cool places ...
I had to delete a part of the map . A big part of the map. And this only because the r_speeds were high in that area and the compilation time was more than 4 hours. Furthermore, I will have to use the -sparse command and bevel texture. I hit the maximum patches limit.

What is it with people redesigning cs_assault. Its got to be the worst map in CS and often the remakes are worse. Why not just make a new map from scratch?

I don't want to pick on a mapper for mapping what they want, but honestly redesigned CS maps have to be the lamest kind out there. Seriously, Get some inspiration, nobody even plays all these low quality clone maps.

It's a bit lame to redesign maps, yes.

Of course there are, people put them on their servers for unexplainable reasons, and then they get automatically downloaded. Same reason people have these "fy" and "surf" maps.
But anyway, regarding Muzzleflash's map, there's still not enough contrast. There need to be areas that are dark and unlit. You can't just put lights everywhere like that, it's really boring. You need to have dark spots, and I'm not just talking about slight variation in light intensity. Pick a medium length hallway and kill most of the lights in it. Compile it, and see what an amazing difference it makes when you can't see anything in that spot. Maybe try some different colors, too.

I always wanted to make a cs_assault clone just to see if i could do it (when i first started mapping) I would still like to do it, but i have lots of other stuff i want to do more, first

Well I have slightly more respect for those because they're actually original work... and it does take vertex manipulation.

Post #257847
come come now let's be frank: uh they are giant skyboxed things with rectangular platforms and retarded textures... As far as the VM and the neat counters in those, i'm guessing it's copypasta (though i must admit i never actually looked at surf geometry to see how intricate it was...)

Nah, it's for a single player map pack I'm working on. But we know how those go. 
Since I've got so many other things begging for my attention right now, I'm hoping that will allow me to pace myself instead of rushing in and getting burnt out after mapping for three weeks straight. I've actually found that when I'm not constantly thinking about it, ideas start popping into my head... I don't have to force myself.

Post #257855
Those areas look great! They make me think of a damp, dreary, basement maintenance area or something. Very Half-lifey.
One thing though, in the first picture, the texture on the inside of that fan tube contrasts too much with the smooth texture of the ceiling, it looks out of place to me, but that's just my opinion.
I also like your pictures Muzz, but i agree that the lighting needs to be broken up a little bit. Right now it looks like some corporate lab where the people are not allowed to have personalities. Maybe that's the kind of look your going for though. If it is, then perhaps have the lights destroyable? so that in battle, the lighting would change for a more dynamic experience. Let me know what you think.

Spotlight is your friend.. thats the mainly used entity of game designers.
Normal pointlights should only be used to create a bounce light effect. it can also be used for lightbulbs in a tunnel, but thats it.. A lightbulb has a 360 degree radius at with light travels in. This however is pretty much never true when it comes to the real world unless you have a lampshade etc... So yep, just a useful tip to everyone. A spotlight you can adjust the radius, and drop off. Keep that in mind!

I'm thinking of you as an advanced mapper , and I see a 90* pipe corner in your last screen

Nice stuff Unbreakable!
On your light position. Do you realize how many point lights are used in UT3? DM_DECK already has a few hundred of them. Not that i counted them, but its amazing to see how they use it to have a fine control over the lighning.

...What? Explain that.The lighting is a little repetitive to me, It would get boring to me very quickly, that's why I suggested breakable lights, just to break up the monotony of the lighting.

That's just my opinion though. I know for a fact I am definitely picky about lighting, and its always the thing I spend the most time on in my maps.

Plus, making the lights breakable is something that you do in singleplayer maps, this is HLDM map, so no, im not making the lights breakable (i would hit the "Too many direct light styles on a face" warning in no time.

Urbanebula: that looks outstanding, esp for Goldsource. I've always wanted to to regular residential myself, or like a midtown apartment complex, but i've never fsr.
S3IZURE: those screens look quite nice.
Muzz: excellent and clean as per usual... neat to see your still modding goldsource! = )
srry: Looks quite nice and again nice to see people still modding goldsource(that is, if you do and you're still working on it). I would bitch about the original textures but it looks good.

I'm thinking of you as an advanced mapper , and I see a 90* pipe corner in your last screenUh... yeah about that, I never had a problem with 90 degree pipe corners personally. I guess a lot of people don't like them for some reason, but I don't really find them that unrealistic. In fact, I hardly ever see pipes in real life that have a nice smooth curve to them around a corner.
Also, I haven't mapped anything substantial in at least ten months I believe. Any conceptions of me as a highly advanced mapper should probably be diffused for now.
But hey, mapping is like riding a bike, you can never truly forget how to do it.

Thats the beam thats triggers either nothing, or the invisible func_button that triggers the stuff on the table.
In the final version the random event generator entities will be placed somewhere where the player cannot see them.

The Hunter , how did you do that ? 
Did you took quarters of a dome and combine them ? I can actually see that you used the arch tool (or that isn't made in hammer 3.5\4.1 ? )

it's actually just two arches, one that is still visible, and the other much wider that actually makes up the ceiling then VM'd into shape.
Edit:
That's just for one side of the collumn, obviously then it was just a mass duplication
