My last attempt to make something "good" in Blender:

This actually looks good for a low-poly turret. You could've split the upper part from lower one with cylinder to give it ability to turn to sides, or give it guns on other sides. Would work well for tower defense game, where you see the model and map from above with little detail, so it'd be well optimised for something like that.

"You could've split the upper part from lower one with cylinder to give it ability to turn to sides"Is there still a way to split it?
"Would work well for tower defense game"Well, I'm just trying to recreate a similar structure from Tiberian Dawn/Renegade:

Is there still a way to split it?Don't know how it's done in Blender, as I model geometry in Wings3D
Judging by the pictures of the turret, it could be done by modelling the base and gun as separate parts and aligning them. But that is if you want to animate it and code it to shoot.
If you want it to be idle, motionless then don't rework it. It should be good for it.

Thanks. I'm only a (very lazy) beginner though. Plus since my mouse is under repair now, I use a very old PS/2 mouse with a broken wheel (scrolling works fine but pressing the MMB does nothing), so using Blender is now even more difficult for me.
Also, it would be nice to see you on fun_kobbl playtesting session. If you're in, Admer will send you a PM.

Great.
I'll send it to you on GameBanana. The full release should be released in either this week or in the next week.
The test team will get all 4 versions, compiled with final settings. I'll then make the fun version and call it a day (or 3 months, lol).

I don't have a screenshot of this, but I'll just write it:
In the Easter egg #3 room (the one where you can unlock all the doors), I had an issue: the bomb was making glass sounds when shot at.
That means: I had to change the Material to Metal, and I now have to re-compile all 4 maps. Seriously, I spent an entire day compiling the 4 versions, and today, I'll have to do it again. Poor lappy. :/

Now I see why. XD

I figured out how to remove the roof on the overview:
I basically changed the Min Z value. 
Now I'll just open Paint.NET and stitch those together and call it a day.

Dude, you have your keyboard. Try pressing keys until something happens.
Of course, I can't tell you which one to press, because:
Yeah, it's 2 of those... I pressed the - (minus, or hyphen) key to actually decrease the Z Min value, not sure if it will work on your end. :3

However, xawari mentioned that our usual way of making overviews is wrong. I saw the overviews of default maps, and they had the green stuff! But in-game, you can't see the green. This is weird.

I suppose that the last color in the palette of an overview image becomes black. So if you change all the green color to red and change the last color in the palette to red as well, the red color should be black ingame. The same thing works for {masked textures.

I'm not sure if it will even compile or how long it will take. Poor HLVIS.
When the geometry, texturing and basic entity/item placement is finished (I'm such a person who does all this at the same time), I will need to make a proper sky (currently using "morning"), extract the textures from 6-8 wads I use for the map and the pack everything into a one big wad, then wadinclude it with -nowadtextures parameter. And I'm incredibly lazy at times, so even I don't know when it's gonna be finished, Trempler.
Yet I must note, that your support encourages me to continue my work. Thank you =)

I can't wait for Deadlands either. It's far more high-poly than anything I've ever mapped. I wonder how it would run on my laptop. xD
Although, if you didn't do it already, could you convert some things (like arches and pillars) into func_detail brushes? After that, you could cover them with blocky clip brushes and set the func_details' Passable parameter to Yes.

@Admer456
During the creation I do some basic entity placement as I said, so the most of such structures (or maybe all of them) is already tied to func_detail. I'll place the clip-brushes later, or if I suddenly hit the clipnodes limit (bevel and cliptype precise should prevent that).
Also I included an easter egg (yep, already). It's a surprise so I can't tell you what it is =].

Looks a bit darker than needed to IMO. But who I'm to judge your work =)
A collaboration would be nice, but I think I'll not participate since I realized that I'm only good at making various castles, temples, ruins, etc.

Considering there's a cross pattern they probably don't really need to be. If the player crouches that close to a plain wall they're probably trying to get stuck. I can't imagine they interfere with normal play.

The map is not too far from the first compile:
I will later change the hue of the sky so it will look more greenish.
I guess I should also credit the Counter-Strike dev team since I use their skypics and textures.

I'm so sorry xd.
That's what happens when you try to make every single corner look smooth.
I didn't compile it at full VIS and without the -extra parameter for HLRAD so it doesn't look too good.
