I think he's talking about the snow map he's working on with surf elements. He posted pictures of it on the previous page.

Well I was inspired by a dream to begin making a map where each different section has its own music. I'll either make the music in fruity loops or just get it from somewhere. I was also inspired by captain terror's intro to my rooms entry. I will probably include more certain aspects to abide by for the map. I really want to make a dance club but that could possibly be the next competition if we decided on it... Oh yea I must have been really inspired by disco stu's room and the tribute room map as well.

No, fuck you.
Put a shitload of crates in. Flood that fucker with crates until you can't move without jabbing your dick in a crate.

Well, if there was one ridiculous as hell item to fill a warehouse with, what would that item be?

I don't know but your starting to make me think out side the box 
Really though maybe it will be a certain type of ware house other than just one filled with boxes though I am sorta remaking a new version of stalkyard, we'll see...
Done for tonight. Wow I mapped a lot for one sitting. Must have been that monster I drank!

I'm not so sure about how much vertical wall is showing on the exterior of the building as well as the perimeter wall. It is probably an illusion from the screen shot, however, I'm sure you'll address it anyway as its only a couple of days old. Other than that, looks good zeeba. Good luck.

Are those steps floating?
And that L-shaped hallway on the left of the building (on both outside screenshots) kinda worries me. What the hell is that?

Lol its a hallway and stairs. It looked better in the floorplan on paper, im trying to figure out how to make it work the best. And yes things are floating, the map is far from finished. Back to work 
Texturings a pain in the 455 right now because my right mouse button isn't working so pay no attention to it.

Just make sure when you've got one face highlighted, use the right click on a different face.

Post #279070
I wonder the success of my koth and cp triggers. I don't want Hotdog and I to be the only people mapping for it. I worked hard to build those! 
Also I swear by the alt-click thing nowadays. Makes mapping feel more natural.

I want to make some maps, the first thing I did after the first time we played the cp map was start up Hammer and start making my own. But unfortunately a glitch or something happened recently on my PC. A lot of recently made files can only be opened or even seen using the program that created them. They can't even be seen in Windows Explorer. This seems to be the reason why maps aren't compiling. The compile tools can't access the map to compile it. And I can't send it to another computer to compile it, because I need Windows Explorer to do that. It's getting rather frustrating.

That's a weird glitch.
If no one can come up with a better solution, try the latest restore point. Its sounds to me like a system file got messed.
As for the CP and KOTH stuff, I haven't received too much feedback. That's why I asked questions when playing TWHL3 on the server. Improvements can be made if necessary, or if the templates are confusing I can write a guide or something.

Post #279094
Wow Zeeba, that's really detailed. I like the way the shadows on the floor. But is poly count going to be too high for any more details?
Also, I see a truck. Is that a prefab or did you make it?

I'd show more screenshots but I might as well just wait untill I submit the map. Its looking pretty good. I have to work the next few days and have lots of homework so progress will go a little slow but i'll get it done. I really want to play it in the server!

Lookin' pretty good.
One of the good things about stalkyard was the lighting, which was very well balanced between light and dark (imo). Keep it in mind.

I'll try, so far its pretty much all lit really bright. I'll try to include more dark areas. Maybe i'll make the sky night instead of dusk like in stalkyard.

Post #279166
Wow, dude. I will definitely download that map when you are done.
Just from the screenshots, It looks well-built and well-lit (in the areas that actually have lighting. keep up the good work!

Thanks, I took darkie's advice and will experiment with the lighting a lot. To make it resemble stalkyard more. I'm also going to add shooting stars in the sky if I keep it a night map. Thanks for the inspiration to hurry and get it done guys!

Shooting stars? I'd like to see that implemented.

Cleaned up the King of the Hill Template.
Details in description.
Sorry but I haven't made a new example map for the new KOTH system. I hope its up to par and won't have any more problems.

Rimrook, im very interested in creating a level where say three or more areas of the map are made and one is played at a time for a while and than the next area is played and so on. I've played a cs map like this and it was lots of fun. Also the idea of different weapons only in each area is a great idea. Could you do this?
Posted 14 years ago2010-02-26 05:57:49 UTC
Post #279296
Its possible. Have the equip also targetted by the hill counter and triggers so depending on which hill you're on, you get different weapons. Just name the equips "hill1" or "hill2" etc.

Post #279381
Alright, i'll mess with it if I begin a map for it. As for my stalkyard map i've added boxes and got rid of my sky box. Its almost dones just have to add weapons, spawns, a few more things and of course "secrets".

In 2 or 3 weeks I'll have a mini holiday of about a week( if not 2, but I don't know). Until then I will upload my cubicle( which frankly, is kind of a mess, but perhaps it's funnier that way... you'll see..).
Then, I will try to start on a map using the King of the Hill, as Rimrook suggested. Hurrah to Ati !

Yay!
Its being attempted by Hotdog to make the capture points not always available, but you have to capture in sequence. I may combine this with the system of alternating hills to get the same effect on the capture points. Might have to experiment and make an update.

Well, not completely. My modifications could be reworked to apply to all capture points, I might do that myself. But my current system for my map only affects Point 2 and 3. Point 3 is locked to all teams until Point 2 is captured. That team (say Blue team) can then capture point 3. So long as Point 2 remains in Blue's control, then Point 3 is available for them to capture and hold. If, however, the opposing team captures Point 2, wether or not Blue control Point 3, then Point 3 will be reset and available to capture bby thge red team only until Blue recapture Point 2.
Point 1 and 4 are as normal.

I like the good old simple method used by day of defeat. Capture them all and you win and thats it. Its almost hard to get people to cooperate on rim's beer fort little alone something so complicated. Not saying it isn't a good idea though. Btw im finished with my map, just have to finish the secret. And im wating for a day off to submit it so I can be the first to play test it in the server...

I wonder if you could make a map based on the Onslaught mode of UT2004.

Post #279814
I was actually thinking of a way to recreate Warfare mode in Half-Life. It's possible, but once the game was won, it's not possible to reset it. Same would be for Onslaught. You would not be able to reset the game unless there were no breakable objects. So maybe if we use shootable buttons instead...
