I didn't made Prospekt. If I was the author, I would already be ashamed of myself.

You know, there is a such thing as doing something purely because you enjoy it.

There's also a thing called a "day job", which is what Urby has so he can make money and still do awesome things in his spare time for free.

What everyone said. If you need money, this is not the best approach. Write up a CV and agree to exchange your time for a steady sum of money. It will probably work out better and you'll see the money faster.

Yeah, modding is purely a hobby for me. I would love to make money designing games, but it would need to be from the ground up.

I'd never charge for a mod for Source or Goldsource considering how much is already out there for free. Not to mention the hefty cost for the Source license.

You'd need to make something really special to make that money back, considering Steam's refund policy could very easily destroy you.

I think if you make a mod with the best intentions, that is, to have people play and enjoy your hard work; you'll potentially find yourself presented with new opportunities.

If you think it's the fast-track to money, you'll probably find your Prospekts diminishing.

I thought texturing in blender is a bit difficult. But now I'm trying to rig this model. And boy oh boy, it turns out texturing is easy!

A little bit of code can solve that ^^

Looks simple and pretty for Gold Source, any chance to see a video to see if the needles move perfectly ? ^^

Hello everybody, today I decided to make an account for this site since it helped me making my first serious Half-Life map! The guide helped me learning the basics of goldsrc mapping, so thank you guys!

Anyhow, heres the pictures:

Welcome to TWHL African ^^

That is a nice map you made for a beginner, keep up the good work. I think you noticed already the yellow flying dots reporting that a monster is stuck, might want to fix that.

I'm guessing you are using the "Software" renderer ? ^^
Posted 7 years ago2016-05-12 17:16:08 UTC Post #330105
Thanks!
I'll try to fix the dead osprey being stuck in the geometry, also I'm using "gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST" to have software texture looking.

Another note is that I've decided to drop the detail textures for now. Maybe I'll pick them up later if I make an analysis whether or not it actually looks better.

Very Black Mesa-ish, I like.

And I like your map African, it looks much better than anything I've ever done and I've been mapping for years. :P

I've been learning about character rigging in Blender.

I still need to work at it, and I need to learn more about character modelling. Maybe by the end of the summer I will be able to make an animated short film or something.

I had an idea for a cool hologram effect:
User posted image
It's a bit rough around the edges, but I think it could be used for some cool effects.
To make it I first modelled this creepy-ass head in Blender:
User posted image
I then ported it into SketchUp and used the geometry intersect feature to intersect a load of planes with it:
User posted image
I then exported each of these intersected planes as an image file, which after some processing in Paint.NET were made into textures and stacked on top of one-another as func_illusionaries with rendermode additive.
User posted image
I'll have a go at refining it tomorrow, but for now I think I need to go to sleep.

Why thank you Strider. :)

I've been trying to figure out the eyes.
I tried static spheres, but I don't think it worked very well.

I then tried flat eye shapes:

They're func_tanks, so they follow you around the room.

That crate texture is way too basic at the moment Dr.Orange.

It looks very much like an MSPaint job next to the standard textures.

Trempler, it seems that you are making amazing map. Have you considered using custom textures? That would give beyond half-life feeling.

yeah KB90 I did that before.

And thank you, I just did that map because I was bored ^^

Elo, not much of map atm XD im just trying to squise max out of texture size to build the majority of the map. 256x256 pix texture on 64x64 grid units thats the scale i will try to hold for the first plan+detailed textures.

Planing to make the maps "densest" just testing texture look and some tricks to make grid fiting textures more quick.
I dont know how big of a map i can pull of with this.

Did anyone had any issues with similar idea?
Posted 7 years ago2016-05-31 18:40:05 UTC Post #330269
@kruk

The maximum Goldsrc texture size is 512x512.
Look at how my map looks with that size for textures (not all of them):

That is a goldsource?
Posted 7 years ago2016-05-31 19:20:11 UTC Post #330271
Obviously.

Also FYI, the total area of 512x512 is the limit, meaning you can have 256x1024 for example.

@Alberto309

Cool ;] So you didnt run to any major compiling issues or in game fps drops?

So i dont have to worry much if i base maps on 4-8 512x512 textures like this

Stil hopefully getting some nice variations not going above 2000 wpoly
