I remember Life's End although I never finished it. It was longer than HL1, I swear :S

One of those pics looks exactly like the tunnel in the silo at White Forest but in HL1 form

I wonder if there's a connection to HL2 in your mod. Hmmm ;O

In my haste to get this finished, look what I've done!!!

I essentially turned about 40 brushes inside out, and now i'm getting brush out of world.

Gotta go fix em now.

EDIT
Just fixed em.

Turns out it was only about 6 pieces of rope. All i did was flip the end vertices around and viola!

Sidenote, turns out the crew photos i've been basing the ship off of are incomplete. In the movie the ship has 3 sails on the main mast. The actual photos only have one. I'm gonna have to put in a lot more work than i thought.

You could totally make them that way but could you possibly transplant cannon from the BG (battlegrounds) mod? I remember some of the cannons from that mod were pimp, but i don't know if they were tanks or coded in. If nothing else you could steal some of their pimp cannon models (but i know how you and i share the desire to make these things out of brushes!)

No, but they will work. Just wait until it's all done

The top deck cannons are smaller thank the below deck cannons. Just for scaling reasons. That might change later, I don't know.

I'll have to take a look at some func_tank's to see what my options are. Because i've had a brainstorm about the cannons a while ago. Just a few things i would like to try.

I tried something new today.

I think you all remember my upcoming space shuttle mod in which you can see how NASA prepares the shuttle for launch.

I had to create the entire shuttle stack, the towers, the launchpad, the crawler transporter and what not scaled down, because there's limited build space in Hammer.

Today tried to make the launchpad, the towers, the shuttle etc fullsize for Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. I think i succeeded:

Again, this is fullsize, as you can tell by the Breen npc's.

The goal is to make a HL2DM map taking place on Launch Complex 39-B, Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

You'll be able to walk around on the concrete launchpad (not the pad's permiter), on the mobile launcher platform, inside bother towers where there are plenty of levels/platforms, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, get inside the Orbiter.

All this to promote my upcoming shuttle mod.

Hopefully i will succeed. This has never been done!

Guess I'll just update my work here instead of that individual thread from now on, a mod could go ahead and delete it infact.

Nice, does it have a specific purpose or just for jokes?

I just started a map myself (why I signed up). I haven't mapped for years and I can't even run HL1 on my computer at the moment because of a crappy Uni connection! So if anyone would like to playtest my map, I certainly don't mind if you steal the .rmf and claim it as your own... I've just got quite a few decent ideas for small and intense de_ maps and want to see them made.

Set in a London council estate/ghetto.
12 story tower blocks,

I will turn this square into a covered market (keeping the garages)

The lower floors of the tower blocks have four 2 bedroom apartments (per floor) in them!

...and I want to add vehicles, some of which explode (when shot in a very specific place) and some of which have alarms that go off when shot... I feel that will give the map a certain intensity.

Any tips and/or questions welcomed! There's certainly a lot of trail and error I'm missing out on seeing as I can't compile or play the map...

This is the indoor market. Turned out pretty perrdy. I tried to keep all the planes perfectly aligned but that got a bit impossible so I got lazy. There's quite a lot of intersecting brushes and gaps (although invisible from the floor). What can I do to minimise the damage of these sloppy brush strokes? Turn them into func_wall's?

Also this little underpass might look pretty nifty when tastefully lit...

Plus this little lighting concept... flood lights that turn on at the start of every round?? To give a sports arena type feel.

Posted 15 years ago2009-03-03 15:01:33 UTC Post #263666

God Mowgli that looks great so far! To elaborate on what Guinea pirate said, i would turn those trusses to func_illusionaries to save yourself clipnodes, or get rid of the brushwork altogether and use a transparent texture on a solid block. i mean, it looks really cool, but that kind of depth of detail for the most part will be lost on most players, and the much simpler transparent texture will look almost as spiffy (not to mention save you a lot of mapping resources imo).

Same goes from the massive amount of detail you have on that housing tower, i think you are going to run out of resources and you might find you have to scale back your design and use fancy texturing to get by, but hey, if you can pull it off, all the better!

YOur first set of pics look JUST LIKE a mixed housing complex--apartments, suites, and a big dining hall--, where i went to school. I shold share some of my screenshots with you for laughs = )

Anyway, i'd love to help beta test if you need it, just let me know! Your stuff looks really good... = )

It's a good idea about the transparent texture! But sadly, I can'nae be bothered to make it. I think it would even possibly look better than the what I have now. Because I apparently have to texture all that...

Currently working on texturing the building. It shouldn't take up too much resources if everything but the outside is NULL'd... right? I got some incredible windows from CG Textures!

It makes that wall look embarrassing. (+ The top/bottom bordering are separate brushes). Only thing is that it's 256x?. Maybe a bit massive for purpose. Does that matter these days?

But yeah it would be cool to see some of those pics you're on about. The buildings on the left of the areal shot from the first set of images don't have a purpose yet!

I had created a monster. The tall ship I had been working on exploded into so many errors (I knew I had that coming) when I had slacked with the sails & ropes. During the last couple days I've gone trough with all the crappy parts and boy were there loads of those. Finaly after the revamp process... I'm on clean waters and rebuilding from what I was left with

Now... I take careful steps on with the sails and the ropes. Not only will I do an check for problems (alt+p) type of search, but also a compile with CSG only to scan it thoroughly

Thanks for the compliments but I deserve no salutations, the ship is already busted and broken with my silly shortcuts. I regret now that I did not do the hull with care when I still had a chance to. To fix it now would take a day or two with the VM tool alone...

PS. The current version of the ship holds a total of 4626 solids and 27808 faces... I dread the day when I get to the point of letting my computer compile her let alone be able to play it ingame !

Yeah and I learned its not possible due to the complexity of the sails and all the railings. Today was the day I had in mind of compiling her but then it turned out that it had way too many planes

Guess I'll just continue to make it like a showcase map, just like Daubster there mentioned. It probably could be made into a playable map, I'd just have to tone down the sails by alot and find a way to replce the railing...perhaps by models, but I'm no modeler so $:\$

PS. each sail consists of no less than 120 blocks. Meaning all of the sails in that ship equals to 2,160 blocks... a size of an avarage map alone would have

Posted 15 years ago2009-03-05 10:07:47 UTC Post #263807

I would advise compiling frequently from the beginning (if you plan to make a playable map). Compiling frequently helps you catch/isolate errors much easier than building an entire map and then trying to run it. Errors and problems can pile up quickly making your .rmf completely impossible to debug.

Compiling often also helps you get a feel for when you start running into limits of what the compiler and game can handle, all errors aside. Can't stress enough how important this is...

Still looks bomb tho.. = )
