Of course they are. But they are not perpendicular to the wall, so you'd kinda have to walk sideways when you're near the top floor.

If you were an architect and put this in an actual building, I'd punch you in the face.

Left 4 Beer has been mistakingly saved over by a trigger testing map. At least I have my triggers setup and gameplay in place, but all progress with mapping so far is completely gone.

Sadface... :_(

Have you checked the Hammer autosaves?

Check the General tab in the options menu, it should list a default folder for autosaves. I think they save every 15 minutes by default(?).

I checked it, it was gone. Apparantly the autosaves we of my testing map so it must have happened a while back.

Angry mapping = get shit done.
I like this new version better. I have uglied it up yet with overlays or debris but most of it is back and is a bit cleaner or optimized.

Also, let's see some spraypaint for the walls, please contribute some writing :)

Solid mapping. The only thing I'd suggest is more rubbish/damage props and some colour in your lighting.

Posted 14 years ago2010-05-05 01:48:02 UTC Post #280980
yes, lighting needs a tweakin.

May I suggest:

Combine lamp
Brightness 147 226 240 3000
Ambience N/A

Tungsten bulb
Brightness 254 216 146
Ambience N/A

Fluorescent bulb
Brightness 159 237 215
Ambience N/A
Posted 14 years ago2010-05-05 02:50:35 UTC Post #280982
the lighting is heaps dull. this is the zombie apocalypse!! that building needs to be torn to shreds with ceiling collapses and fires and shit! get some inventive lighting going imo. possibly try and turn it into a place that's being used by the survivors as a safehouse/stronghold to defend from oncoming zombies...

Rim. It's still all too clean. Needs more ceiling tiles on the floor, scorch marks, etc.

Joebama: Looks interesting. I wonder how the rest will be.

@Rimrook: First picture seems blandish compared with the others. It's a little too neat.

I'm going to add maybe 2 or 3 stains on the ceiling and do graffiti.

AND FOR THE LAST TIME! POST SOME WALL WRITING AND GRAFFITI! YOU ARE A PART OF THE BEERFORT! THE BEERFORT IS A PART OF YOU!

I left the walls mostly blank for that reason. :)

Prop work is nice, but... yellow lighting = icky.

Go for contrasting colours (like very faint blue and orange) for common light sources, they'll add a bit of hostility to the scene.

Then use more intense coloured lighting on rare feature lights, like fires, spotlights etc.

yeah that yellow lighting is gross... strongly recommend decompiling valve maps just to see how they do their lighting. or use the ones which are freely available (idk if there are any for l4d2...)

My first real source map, a supermarket:

It going VERY slowly, tho i try to work on it at least a little bit every day. Originally it was to be for CS:S but i may change it over to a L4D survival map....

Looks good Terror! The lot looks very blank though, but I assume that'll change in time.
Posted 14 years ago2010-05-06 19:52:56 UTC Post #281027
ha thanks! =)

and chea, definitely i need to add more things to the lot tho i have no idea what i'm going to put in there, besides more cars and shopping carts of course, lol.. =)

1 sides of the map will be bordered by mini wood stockade fence and a denny's resturant, and three other sides will be borderd by streets and buildings beyond, with 3d skybox. the playable area tho will be limited to the parking lot and inside the super market.

Here's a pic anyway.

Looks good. Might I make one suggestion at this point?
Turn the brushwork paint lines into decals- it looks a bit off, and will probably increase compile times a bit.
Other than that, looks great. Can't wait. (even though I have neither CS:S or L4D yet :P)

"Turn the brushwork paint lines into decals"

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. Can you elaborate?

EDIT: Never mind, that was for Terror xD
Posted 14 years ago2010-05-06 21:40:11 UTC Post #281031
On those parkinglot stripes, you could try to nodraw the sides and bottoms of the brushes on all of them, then make them a little bit transparent to blend more with the surface below them. Just a thought.

It would be much better for performance if they were decals. They'd look nicer, too, with no hard edge.

Some supermarkets have a sort of tents to leave carts under (to protect them from weather), I guess you could put a few of those.

Also, those windows look awful :P

I used to play CSCZ... a while ago, I admit, but nevertheless that is looking very good for a gldsrc map. I wont give you constructive critism because you said you just started.

EDIT: Would show you one of my upcoming maps, however Valve decided to break the grids in the EP2 SDK.

In hammer options, 3D views or general tab. Can't remember which. There's a slider for "model render distance"

Thanks all for comments i will look into decal creation or i might try rims method in nodrawing the edges and making them partially transparent, just because i feel it gives much more flexibility adding the parking stripes. (if i take the extra work and brush them directly into the floor, they look perfect, but i don't know if i feel like doing the extra brushwork, lol)

Zeeba: looks sweet man!

Deving out a new multiplayer map. All brush and lighting work so far, no models except for batteries as item placeholders. Floating lights are to mark lighting positions.
