Hugh...
Where is hugh_issues.wad?
Commented 19 years ago2004-06-25 03:43:09 UTC Comment #2481
1. I didn't rate my own.
2. It doesn't actually use any textures from it so you can just make a blank hugh_issues.wad. Sorriez about leaving it in, though. :(

Or you could recompile it without hugh_issues.wad loaded.

I could indeed, but I've made lots of changes and I want a critique on THAT version. :) We'll see after some critiques actually appear, though..

Well, you want us to comment so it's up to you to make it easy for us. A recompile without that .wad file wouldn't be a bad move... as for versions, it may be a good habit of saving under different names (mapname_01 and so on).

Anyway, on to the map. The lighting was the first thing that caught my attention. I don't really like it. The different colors on those sections make it look so unnatural. Especially the yellow lights.
Texture usage is good except for the groun on the screenshot, that's a specific ceiling texture and doesn't look well on a floor.
Architecture is decent but for a storage area it looks too curved. Some straight supporting beams and such would make it look better.
The overall map has a strange connection of styles, of area's. A storage facility and a sort of reception area? Doesn't really fit together in my opinion.

Overall, it shows potential, you do pay attention on details now and then, but the map needs some more coherent style.

Thanks Captain, I'm thinking of scrapping the officey thing (at least for this map) as it really doesn't fit. :)

Overall, a very nice map. Good architexture, texturing, lighting, weapon placement. Well done, 4 Stars.

I wrote a huge review for this and lost it--oh noes!--, so here goes againe...

This map is an amazing display of all the fundamentals, that many mappers routinely miss up, as well as, the little details which almost EVERY mapper misses.

Varied and inventive use of textlights, sprites, ambients, and detail brushes make this a beautiful map in it's own right. I cannot recall a map I've ever seen that nail the small details as well as this one.

The little details give things a better, truly 3D quality, makes them real, and Zeromancer achieves this beautifully. Other small things like removing a tile here, adding a grate there--which most anyone else wouldn't bother--, really make this map. Also doing anything to break up the perfect symmetrical design--which Zero most definitely does--that Hammer makes so easy for us, makes everything seem more real.

Relief in the level is highly varied and most excellently done. Nice portions from the subterranean to the open ceilings are all well-construckted and placed.

Weapon placement is fine, for this size of a map, and some nice HL-style hidden rooms with goodies.

Icing on the cake is a nice little vista where you can see outside, but the player cannon access...Always a nice touch.

Simply perfect small-sized HLDM map.

5 stars.
