Hey guys,

After the final 3 maps were announced and some new maps from the contest started coming out it inspired me to get to work once again.
I have recently been working on a quake style map with some quake content. It's not very big but should be a fun pub map with 8-10 players or even a 1v1 map. Here are a few screens I should have a first release out in a few days....Enjoy!

confessed ! was thinking about going the one red line to not competley steal the idea (i will if it bothers you) if not then i think the second white one makes a good effect.

Is this one for hl1? The textures seem to have a very low resolution. Looks quite nice though, only thing I didn't like is the canisters.

That eX texture set does have really nice specular masks and bumpmaps which makes it look 200% sexier. Doesn't look like you're using them from the screenies or is it just your gfx settings?

Da1

sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is the "eX" texture set?

Charles

I'm actually digging the low textures. This map's looks alone are reminding me of the good old CS days...

Those are some awesome looking jump pads.

All those textures are from a well known tetxure set for quake4, except they seem to be missing the stuff that makes them look really really sexy

Unless you've grabbed them from another map, in which case you're missing loads more textures from the set as well as the normals / spec masks and heightmaps. Its a very good set, I'll make you a pic in a hour or so

One of the textures from your 5th pic:

Bumpmap can be clearly seen, specular looks really nice when in motion. Would really bring out those textures if you used the bump/spec throughout this map imo

Hey! Looks like Lost Village!!!

Alright, just kidding, real bad joke.......

Seriously my friend, part of creating a great map is creating atmosphere. In looking at these screenies, I think you are on the right track and I think I like the textures also. I'll obviously know though once I get in the map which I can't wait for!

Would that happen to be the violentdays skybox? I dig those custom skyboxes.

Im looking forwards to play this map out. Looks fun.

looks sweet Dal, love this theme of map although i dont dig the ghetto quake textures maybe once boshed has released his map you could nick a few textures from it, some would fit quite well in here.

Anychance of a beta run-about ?

nice map, deathmatch all the way. Fits right in with alive, fuedal, winterchill. Love the jump-under-over-and-through layout.

Some textures seem a lil blandish...and couple of the pads were giving me grief when mistiming the jump, ie prone at the top or not going high enough. Standard hl2 stuff

looks awesome mang cant wait to play it.

Woot! Gonna try it out this weekend! Thanks for finishing this up!

I really like the map Dal, but maybe you could do something with the jump pads.

Great map, would be better if the stairs were clipped and the jump pads were more consistent

Beef

2009-10-17 21:07:12

Cool map! Played it last night and it was tight. I share similar gripes about jump pads and clipped stairs, but I think I'll survive.

Da1

2009-10-17 23:47:06

Yeah jump pads are always hard to do in hl2dm, dont know what else to really do besides a trigger_push, which is always inconsitent with hl2dm, as for clips, yeah i didnt really take the time to do those so w/e maybe ill get around to doin them on a later release (possibly)

badinfluence

2009-10-18 01:21:53

Why don't you just do aim arena jump pads with not as much force?

Da1

2009-10-18 04:02:54

cause i didnt want to do lifts, i wanted to do jump pads.

2009-10-18 06:18:36

dont half-ass it dal. that'll be like the teams in warzone. its irritating and i know you're not like that. fix it when you get the chance.

Da1

2009-10-18 08:51:00

There's honestly no point in fixing something minor. So, i guess, yeah, im half assing it.

Nope you're right, it's spam free apart from the rpg... you might have to aim for once :O

I'm trying to imagine in my head what a viperbird looks like... seems scary as fuck to have a flying viper but with such a small mouth and breakneck speed during attacks, he could only manage to snatch a 911 da11as hat at best.
