Hello!

As some of you may be aware, a while ago I started work on a village map. Currently, it just has a church...
Anyway, this thread is specifically for you to give me feedback, suggestions and ideas for my mod as it develops. It's also so I can upload screenshots and info on it's development. It's likely this mod won't see the light of day, but hopefully I can at least complete the map (Or maps) to a basic level. I do warn you though, it could take a while, and I may not even be on TWHL or even mapping for long periods of time (I kind of go through 'phases').

So! The mod itself :hammer:
Currently, I am focusing on no particular storyline. I find it easier to get the details done that way, and I tend to concentrate more. My plan for the first map is to make the layout of a small village. It should probably include a pub, some houses, classic shops (Bakers, butchers, etc.) and a few other places of interest.

I think that, except for one or two buildings, I may actually make separate maps for the insides of most buildings, a little like Skyrim.
That way I can concentrate on the details more (As I said earlier) and it means even if I don't complete the mod, I should have at least made the outside part of the village.

This is the building I'm working on at the moment, the church:

And here's a totally random murder scene... I got bored.

So; any feedback or suggestions, please post here or pm me.

Thanks for reading :cool:

[Edit]
By the way, yes the textures are badly done (in the church mostly). I'll get it sorted at some point or another though.

Good idea! There are not to many HL mods/maps with such theme (this one gives me They Hunger feeling), so it would be nice to see this work finished and released.

I'd make the wood textures follow the direction of the timbers in the rafters.

Thanks Qwertyus! I hope it gets finished too.

I literally just changed the textures for the timbers, though thanks anyway zeeba- it looks a lot more realistic now:

In other news...
I ditched the tree I was going to put in the graveyard for now and replaced it with a couple of benches and a well (It's a bit dark mind- I'll add some more lighting later):

Also, does anyone know how to fix this glitch?
