Yo, this is my third uploaded map, that I made during the last summer. I was thinking about Hawaii and shit like that here, in Hungary, and I decided, that it could be a good base for a map. Actually I copied the half of the map out of the game "GTA: Vice city", but I also used a few ideas of my own. I think that it aint so bad, so give it a try! Oh yeah, and the vis process didn't work togeather with the rad (it crashed) so I only made csg, bsp and rad...so expect some huge r_speeds...sorry...but it's not so bad on a 2200+ XP:))
Looks nice, the water is good and the road angles are very impressive.
Ah trees are also good
The buildings look real also!
-palm tree texture was missing for me... the tops were pink and black checkerbox
-palm trunks textures could be tweaked, unless you 'staggered' them on purpose.
-scale is a little off in the room ajacent to the elevator by the beach--chairs look huge, desk looks tiny
-you forgot to clip the right side of the beach, so players can't see the edge.
Overall, this map was quite well done imo, and refresingly different from the norm!
+1000 pts!!!
*********************************
+ Idea. I liked the theme, quite nice.
***************************
+/- Texturing. Not bad, but a bit ugly in some places, like that big house thing, where the terrorists start. The palm tree texture is missing, btw.
+/- Layout. It's too open and it could use some underground passage or sewer.
+/- Gamaplay. Bomb spots are too close to the CTs and lack of different paths to them.
*********************************
- Architecture. You used HL prefabs too much and they looked pretty crappy. Some areas in the map were too blocky too.
- Ambient sounds. Could use some, like a wave sound at the beach, wind sounds on the roof, etc.
******************************
Well overall - this map needs more work. You MUST decrease the r_speeds, coz 2.5k is way too much for a cs map. Compile VIS. You should work more on the gameplay and the layout too..
I dont know why that palm texture can be missing, because before I uploaded it I fixed this bug, because I had it too.
And vis...easy to say "Compile VIS." If ya have any idea what to do with the compile error I mentioned, write it down, Im outta ideas.
