lab_restroom

crashes for me though I'm not running it via Steam

why crashed when not running on steam. now tried with won and crashed on mine too. i wonder what causes this crash.

here is my source if you interested.

updated download file.

The error given by Xash3D is that there is no valid spawn point. You're missing an info_player_start entity.

EDIT: Having placed a player start and tested, it's not a bad start by any means. There are some nice small details, but some things are a little off. The doors for example, are just blocks that have been stuck onto the wall brushes, meaning they stick out and it just doesn't look right... You'd be better off setting them INTO the wall (Maybe add a door frame if you want to stick in a little more detail.)

But, as I said, certainly not a bad start.

thank i needed that comment for my first serious map. im glad. also one of my friend said this doors arent good at all. in my next maps ill put door frame into the wall.

I had fun with this! I could only figure out how to open the first vent though so I ended up noclipping to find the secret. I liked the lights and design but it would have been nice to have some ambient noise in the background

thanks nineTnine for trying my map :). im happy if you had fun. sounds and props in development. ill add them. yes i never thought original textures give a great impresson on ceiling design. this is my first time i added multiple lightsources. this map originally intended to make light_surface entity experiment.

sorry if you spend time to open that vents.

i did a small change after adding player start. and that vent not working for now.

but now i updated download file if you still interested you can check there is old map with working vents i added player start on them too. you wont get anymore error.

sorry if I gave away any spoilers by mentioning the vent
I'll have a look at the changes - nice work though you could continue to add to the puzzle with new stuff as you go!

no proplem , ill make new and more interesting secrets

What a nice little room. My only nitpicks would be that the chairs and tables are too tall in comparison to the player character. I also think it was a little to dark and had a little too monotone lighting.
But I liked the brushwork and the doors giving the feeling it belonged to a larger area (even though extensive testing (noclipping) shows that it doesn't). Some ambient background sounds would have been nice, though.
I had to noclip to find the secret, and to be honest, the way it was hidden was probably a bit too obscure for my taste. I did play the first verson of the map too, which had it hidden in a bit more sensible way.
Also, it's spelled "dehydration", with a "y". Just a friendly tip for the future

Overall, I liked the atmosphere, even though it's just a small detail room. Good job!

thanks for commenting and trying, i like your well explaining comment lol extensive testing

ill answer long if you interested. for brief just read that 1 following paragraph its enough.

hmm interesting criticism about lights. i always thinking my light was nice but the rest of room not nice as lights are. now i get the case, my lightsources providing monotone lights to rest of the room.

yes chairsand tables and couch made last to give more detail before uploading. i cant able to spent much time on them ill make them beter later.

yes they are dark ill make more birght with windows or ill add more lighsources such as brighter tv i was thinking to make this map brighter before but i cant succeed yet.

yes sure i have to add ambient sounds

about secret yes it was completely useless. ill make whole secret from scrap

I had a look at the new version - its better with sound! Lighting is a bit darker though and the Easter egg wasn't as challenging to get to!

thanks for looking

yes sound is good but need to improve a little. actually i dont like dark maps but at this point i cant manage to give a neat appearance to lighter version. maybe some windows will give desired appearance.

yes easter egg should be chalenging to give fun to players. but at this point i cant manage to hide cleverly
