Well, like I said, its an area thats seen from afar. The player can't even get close to that position.

Then why is the top of the walkway not nulled? :3

@Huntey #1: I fixed the side of the grate-walk. How's this?
@Huntey #2: I don't use null textures unless I'm mapping for source. I find them annoying, and you can't tell the difference in-game, therefore it mostly doesn't matter. However, I go a bit overboard with func_wall and func_illusionary. In fact, the entire room that overlooks the map is entirely composed of 1 func_wall, except for the light in it. Thats an illusion, like time.

Much better trim on the side there.
And that's bloody impressive that you use the null texture in Source considering it doesn't actually exist in Source.
As for making a difference in-game in Goldsource, it definitely, definitely does. Null stops unseen faces from being rendered thus making a map perform much better, as the player's computer doesn't have to render a bunch of faces they'll never even see.

If it takes half a second to render the faces, your FPS is <= 2... which isn't particularly good.

Also, computers vary in power, so it might result in a drop of FPS for people with less powerful computers (Unlikely now with GS, but still possible)

I'm sorry, I stepped out of line, allow me to gape in awe at your missionary maps as well.
Well, apparently you don't have any.
So how about instead of being a complete prick, you actually make something yourself?
After all, if you can't make something you can't judge another person, so before I care for what you have to say, go ahead and make a couple dozen 3D assets for me.

Dim, better to get in the habit of nulling now. If you ever get to the point where you make incredibly elaborate, complex, beautiful maps, the nulling could make all the difference.
And if you say you'll never get to that point, just stop mapping now.
And don't act arrogant and sarcastic in response to constructive critisicm. Face it, in comparison to half the mappers on this site, you are very, very sh*t at mapping. They know what they're doing from lots of experience, and you should take their advice on board. Have you seen Huntey's WIPs lately? If he gave me advice, I'd take it in an instant.
And maybe it was just worded weirdly, but what you said about func_walling sounded pretty unhealthy for a map.

You can as well try bevel, it's better than null.

You can keep NULL, but when your level becomes bigger and bigger and more complex (which i doubt) you want to switch to using BEVEL instead. Without going into detail, just take it from me that BEVEL is better than NULL.

Post #295313
BEVEL disables clipping on that face doesn't it? Like when you compile a map using default tools and the sky becomes a liquid. NULL is still 'solid' and you can walk on it.
I could be completely wrong there, but that's what I always gathered.

It does. But you're not going to be walking up the outside walls of a interior map, or walking on catwalks that you need to use noclip to even get to.

Striker, Crollo happened to have made a map for the last compo. So, Crollo actually has done a map before.

Working on a sequel to burning office. Using only necessary func_walls, func_illusionaries, and not a single carve has been used in this map so far. I'm planning on not carving, and I'm even using NULL.
Also, I'm working on small details.

Hey it's your logicality that I can't criticize anothers work unless I can do work myself, yet you had no work to show for yourself and you feel you can criticize my work without having any work to show for yourself?
Seems like somebody was feeling a little hypocritical, and now that you've posted that you actually CAN do something, then you've earned the right to criticize my work. Not that I would give a shit.
It's one thing for me to criticize Dimbark's map while not having any maps myself.
It's another for you to criticize my criticism of somebody elses mapping skills whilst having no maps, while having no maps yourself.
It's irony at it's finest, so I think until you get a map out, you should eat your words, then release the map, THEN rub it in my face.
Because only then will it be a valid argument, because otherwise, you're not 'qualified' to say anything because you have no maps yourself, based on your own damned logic.

In fact those gun models are pretty sick. But you are partially wrong about mapping. I haven't published any of my maps. So your right when you say I shouldn't criticize.

Now next time, before you go say that that vacuum cleaner is shit, design one yourself and sell it on the market. Only then will you earn the right to say it's shit.

Sorry, I worded that entirely wrong, read the edited.
Actually no, it's still worded incorrectly, but basically it was supposed to imply 'ones right to criticize work', (which is only gained by having work to show) not just criticizing 'ones work.'
Drama aside, I'm due for a map as well, you don't join a mapping community and stay there for three years and not release a single map within that timeframe. Oh wait, I just did, damn.

A very messy and imprecise thing I have created for fun. It's based on H.R. Giger's biomechanical style. He designed aliens for the movie Alien (1979). I made the textures from his pictures.

Your rocket needs more side faces. Try 12 or 16.
