I like my little lightbulbs, but I think the lighting might be too dark here.

I like the old half-life style you are creating. Is this for some kind of mod, or a single map?

It's just an HLDM map.

it seems its time to move to source.. using modified hl engine with bloom and bump mapping, with increased max_map_nodes limit.. millions of errors, max_map something, didn't know that this would be such pain in the a**. so frustrated right now, and all that work now I have to convert to source.. is it difficult to convert? i have little experience with source...

I love Goldsource, but I never understood the point in all the effort people put in to making it use features similar to Source when they can use... well... Source.
As far as I'm aware (and I could be very wrong since I don't use Source) you'd be better off rebuilding since all your entities, props and models etc will be incompatible.

That is a really nice looking map, but I just don't understand why you wouldn't do it on Source, especially since you're using ported HL2 textures. You could be having shaders with those windows.
You should be able to convert it quite easily, assuming you can get Hammer 4 to open a .map or .rmf. I think it should be possible, since it's been done plenty of times. You will have to recompile or replace your models, though.

Thanks, the main reason is i never did anything serious with Source, maybe one room or two just for fun, but I always thought that Source is so complicated especially using the new entities, shaders, textures, bump mapping etc... really don't know where to start with it right now

Post #307412
New textures are more complex, because you need to make both the texture and the material, define any shaders the texture should have, etc, but it does give you a lot more options. The new entities are fairly straightforward, and brushwork is even easier than goldsource, because Hammer will remember the dimensions of the last brush you selected, which makes mass-creation of brushes with the same height or thickness much quicker- definitely makes placing walls and floors much faster.

Making textures for source can be a pain in the ass. It is a fairly simple process:
Convert, add additional images if needed and define some shit.
A bit time taking, but worth it in the end, with all the effects and stuff.
There is a tutorial here on TWHL about it Captain T man.

My processor fell out with me a bit over compiling this one.
What's particularly frustrating is the knowledge that this map never actually appears in The Core. I made it purely for in-game Black Mesa promotional signs.

Actually, it appears to be exactly the same size as the same hole in the map that's based on. It wasn't a very big hole.
Looks great, though.

Even if its based on it, some realism needs to be applied, the tram could easily hit the edges or something.
When it comes to remakes, some people really do appreciate more realism added to the construction.

the tram could easily hit the edges... It's on a rail. It can't really deviate from that path in order to hit the cave walls.

I'm actually a fan of skewing brushes myself. It's what Valve did for rock formations. Worked pretty gud for them.

Blitz, this is almost identical to that technique, but it's more efficient. Daubster wrote a tutorial about it right here.

Oh man, i hated doing those types of displacments so much.
I did a shortcut and just used proper on a source displacment then converted the model for gldscr

Post #307539
No offence, but that terrain is not the best I've seen. It just looks like some displacement where some noise was applied. Sure, the manual work has to be appreciated, but you can obviously see the pattern, there's no real variation.
Btw, is it possible to achieve this with Penguiboy's Twister?

@Striker: Twister will convert a VMF with displacements into tetrahedron terrain. The results are extremely untested and you'll have to align the textures manually too.

Post #307541
I'm not sure what you mean by "no real variation", but regardless - for the purpose it doesn't matter if you can see patterns in the wide shot, it's never seen in-game. This is all you'll ever see of the map in The Core:
Also, of course I won't take offence at you saying it's not the best you've seen, haha! I know it's not, I'm only showing it because I'm impressed that the engine compiled it without errors, not because I'm impressed with the map!

Oh man, that's a whole bunch of tetrahedrons. Oh, the horrid flash backs of all vertex manipulations I've done are coming back. VIS-grouping in hammer is a must because trying to select the right nodes is always hard.
Good job, looks awesome!

Ah, well, seeing what you're putting it to use... I retract my criticism. The panels look rather nice! You can't do that type of lighting anymore in Source...

Wait, you said that? *rubbing my eyes
Oh well. But hey, I still don't understand why did you put such massive effort for 2 panels that showcase a minor part of the terrain. You're going to make more panels than those 2, right?

So that whole thing was made to screenshot and use for a custom texture? That's hardcore. That's some real effort right there.
