Um, the default shotgun is good enough for me.
e/ or why not the HD pack one?

I used to like the hl1 shotgun but it looks too plain. It doesn't even look like a shotgun. Guess I got sick of it after using it for 12 years... The hl2's shotgun has nice sounds and looks ok. The hd pack's guns look cartoonish and the glock makes me want to vomit.

I have never seen a shotgun acting like the one in Duke Nukem 3D before. The animation of it going up when reloading is quite nice.
Most of other games shotguns are too static, including the half-life ones.

There is an HD version of the HL shotgun kicking around somewhere. Thats a pretty cool model.

Awesome, checking out. Will keep using the sounds from the hl2 shotgun though. They are wonderful.
I agree cstriker, duke nukem's shotgun's reload owns.
Edit: Got a few miles on her. She's alright.

Thought I'd share what I worked on tonight;
It's a flaregun, based off the one they were going to put in the HL2 Beta. Not sure when I'll get around to finishing it, but hopefully I'll get it fully functional and animated for ingame use, then code it in to a mod. Something like MI's flaregun, but with a proper reload animation instead of the lazy, HL1 mod style lowering, shotgun reload sound, raising reload sequence.

In the screenshot FOV was set at 120
Gm_Abysslift is getting really big so I find it easy to work on single areas, then copy-paste them into the map. Currently, I'm working on one last area I want to add to the map, after which I will be spending time tweaking and polishing the details.
The problem is that I can't find a good lighting formula for this short tunnel. I already tried combining 2 sets of lights( a yellowish one and a orangeish one), and lowered the lightmap scale to 4. Have any suggestions?

Holy crap you could fly an airplane in there! Though I can't help with the lighting, those wooden beams and collumns may be a little big to exist without some bracketing system. Otherwise the textures appear that they are more than one beam bolted together.

I do have suggestions. Ask yourself the following: What's the purpose of the tunnel/facility? What kind of lighting does it NEED?

I'm not a fan of how the rock smoothly lays into the tile, unless the tile is temporary. Given clues from the doors and the structures, it looks like the tile is supposed to be there. Perhaps make tiled paths and only the main part of the clearings tiled, leaving the rest stone or dirt, or whatever you have in mind. Of course, this entire comment could be annulled if its temporary.
It kinda needs to be big since its a Gary's Mod map.
I do like the theme. Feels like an abandoned underground hanger bay. Perfect for mischievous experiments.

Holy crap you could fly an airplane in there!It's a bit unusual if you never mapped for Garry's Mod before, but "gm" maps usually have oversized areas. It's more comfortable for different experiments.
Though I can't help with the lighting, those wooden beams and collumns may be a little big to exist without some bracketing systemI'd need some bracket models for that, I'm not making such small details in brush geometry. Have any idea where I could find some?
I do have suggestions. Ask yourself the following: What's the purpose of the tunnel/facility? What kind of lighting does it NEED?The purpose is to connect different zones of the map, although due to its space it also serves as a playground. But I don't want boring bright light here.

In combination with the tiled paths, a solution to your lighting problem might be to raise the paths on struts from the rock/dirt floor by around 32 units and have angled spotlights pointing up and out from under the path. It'd be quite a dramatic lighting theme.

Looks cool Striker! would love to help test if you need it.Not only I'd need help for beta-testing, but if vrad.exe will fail like it always does(0% CPU)( that's why I'm working on small portions of the map at a time, usually I'm using the cordon tool), I'd really appreciate if somebody offered for a compile.
Thanks for offering for testing Captain Terror. Don't hold your breath, I started this map in summer :P.

I'm aware you've seen this area before, but this is it in a (probably) final state.
Textures have been dirtied by popular demand, lighting has been tweaked, brushwork and entities have been excessively optimised and it's been compiled with VHLT.

I must say I'm enjoying seeing the progress I've been making over the past week. I've done several all-nighters just working on The Core (you might have seen my complaints about it in the shoutbox) but the absolute best part are the SVN log updates.
For those who don't know - SVN is a system we (Urby, myself and Digi [our coder]) use which updates everyone's files for The Core when any one of us changes them. For example, if Urby needs some textures and asks me to make them I can add them to the core.wad and he'll get them automatically without me having to send him the whole .wad again.
When you commit your updates (apply them to everyone's folders) you get asked to write a short changelog so that updates can be kept track of.
Writing these after ~40 hours of no sleep produces some hilarious results.
Here's a few from the past month.

Updated to take advantage of vulcan's HL compile tools. Seriously use them. Shit is off the hook.
30th Dec, 03:21
Archie:
Minor fix of a sound which wasn't looping properly because it's a dick.

Looks orgasmic Arch , probably the reason why a mess suddenly appeared in my underwear. The platforms look a bit bare , and I don't know why a multi-million dollar corporation would spray paint their logo ( rushed as well due to the paint drips ) onto their wall.

Looking great!
I agree with Instant Mix about the BM logo, it really doesn't look right, especially for such an important/otherwise clean area.
I'd also extend the wall supports so that they would connect with the ceiling ones, would make it look a bit more realistic and would break up the upper wall part nicely imo.
And SVN does indeed rock, good choice.

Archie, try recompiling the map with the '-texreflectscale #' parameter set to 2.5 - 3.0, this might make the lighting look slightly better. You can also change the darkness of the map with '-texreflectgamma #'.
...and since that logo looks quite low res, maybe change the texture to something like 4096x4096, I dunno, but that's the new limit for vhlt

Skals: 262144 pixels is the maximum HL allows. Whether it's 512x512 or 1024x256. You probably misread the 4096x4096 one, vluzacn meant that now you can have 4096 different textures, not a 4096x4096 texture. That's engine limit.

Release could be the end of this week:
After some thought I decided to remake Streetlevel(back in October). After finishing the map pack for Scientist Hunt, I finally loaded this back up and I'm so close to finishing it. Best part too is the reduced wpoly, which is now under 4000. In some spots it can be 3000+ but that's only near the gas station and another part.
Looks pretty sweet Collapse, can't wait to see it textured.
