This is for GoldSrc... just to avoid those stupid "why not use displacements" comments.

still missing some details, waterfall and water textures, few doors, some textures and cliffs from the other side of the map.
i might make my own textures for this... atm it has cz piranesi textures (and some custom by me).

ingame it should look something like this: http://koti.mbnet.fi/mikeliuz/fy_caerla2big.jpg (fy_ version of the same map)

comments/crits?

Looks sexy. The cliffs look very good.

Wow, man. That's just.... wow. Extremely good cliffs, etc. I can't see anything wrong with it at all.

I mean, the theme isn't exactly my style, but it still looks incredibly good.

i know 1 thing thats wrong with it.
too high r_speeds.
sure those can be reduced but not enough.

Well, yeah, but that's almost unavoidable in a situation like this.

i imagine alot of people's computers are able to withstand higher r_speeds now a days, but im also no sure how high they get. anyways, as i said, sexy.

It'll be interesting to see how the water is used, but right now, it's looking very good.

r_speeds don't matter unless they get above 1500

well.. in fy_caerla r_rspeeds are like ~1700
i guess this will have ~2000 or more.

but i dont really care about those anymore.

almost everything is func_walled...

i added lightning effect in it.. but that doesnt really look good so im not sure if im gonna keep it.

Heh, I got a map with the exact same theme lying somewhere, maybe I should continue it once. Anyways, looks nice. Keep it going!

uuuuuupdate

remade the cliffs...

+ made some indoor parts.. still missing paintings, signs, chairs, etc.

Very, very, VERY beautiful. Reminds me of piranesi after 6 months spent in a plastic surgery clinic.
If the lighting and ambients are gonna be as good, this'll be solid pwn.

more...

wowee. looks superb.

You have to do something about that pillar, dude. None of the faces line up right and it looks like ass.

That's easy to fix with Alt+Left clicking.

I can't even begin to imagine the r_speeds

Purdy, you should take up Source mapping.

Its straight route from t to bombsite... and from ct side its just kinda like Y-route.

I know all of that...

Cliffs is my Kryptonite.

Very well done so far, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. If you have photoshop or similar, make a texture to blend the grass and the cliff together. It'll look better for the sake of terrain.

I'm interested in what choice of lighting this will get..

Also, is it me or is it popular to do cliffs and houses lately....

It's you
