The Official Facepunch Mapping WiP Thread v18: Source Engine and Friends

[Glitchvid]

Looks like most of the custom content didn't get packed.

[TommyTTC]

I recently started working on a map set in the mountains which I plan to release for Gmod at some point. I'm impressed that source has actually maintained a pretty decent frame rate on it so far.

Also I really like trees:

Maybe a bit too much...

[MJones]

This is too good to my eyes, I hope you do a night version too and add some cabins or something. Map is looking great, very realistic.

[TommyTTC]

Don't worry, I gotchu.

[Statua]

I need one of those on a ski hill to escape to every winter. Looks cozy.

[MJones]

Take all my coins my good sir.

[TheYellowTowel]

Well i hope to finish this one i got a problem with switching our of boredom a lot lol

[Okxa]

Finally got some inspiration to get instances working in SDK 2013 with Gmod and got something compiled:

I had a problem with vbsp not finding gameinfo.txt, however that was because my gameinfo.txt did not have keyvalue "mod" specified. Because apparently vbsp finds gameinfo.txt by using that keyvalue.

[Magman77]

Since when did setting an npc as the source entity for an ambient_generic make them lipsync?

[Glitchvid]

Pretty sure the game auto-detects if the wav has embedded phoneme data.

[Magman77]

I figured as much, but I'm still impressed that using it as the source entity from a random ambient_generic actually triggers it. I figured it would just make the audio emit from his feet and not much else.

[hops]

feel free to bury me in boxes, but the way I map, I pull inspiration from one tiny source or idea, and expand upon it. I love tiny world details so I sprinkle them around as frequently as I can. here's a collection of late 60s-70s mid radio jingles, probably vague enough to use for a radio or whatever in the area (or whatever else, really)

(I did not expect that to embed, that's neat)

[Firegod522]

Could I interest you in one of my custom skyboxes?

Free for the community in case you need one for anything.

Taking a small break from the mall and decided to work on what I'm now calling zs_abstractum.

[Chris M]

I see it.

The loss.

How do I add the L4D2 precipitation particle effects into source multi tool? Like particle bugs and rainstorm?|

The one thing really bugging me is the 10,000 dome lights. A-frames love their skylights and 'alternative light sources' (tiny lamps n shit)

The nature of the walls also being the ceiling give plenty of love for skylights to do their thing....though the majority of the main living space light coming through the front window isn't a bad thing, though at night that could host some interesting challenges when it comes to lighting.

https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/132374/3b61ba0c-35f3-4799-9d33-e1c48f81502d/image.png

also I suppose as far as the environment it's sitting in...is it all by itself in these woods? is it a cabin in a motel complex (are there other goofy little a-frame cabin neighbors?) you should stick some trees around, and maybe some propane tanks if it's in the sticks, they usually have those giant tanks around for a remote house.

[Shrinker]

My first outside layout - now the generator knows how to use skies.

Shillposting another mapping competition - "The Whole Warp Life" . Any goldsrc / src map in which there is a theme of teleportation. Same site and rules as the one I posted earlier to do with ascension ( That I came in 2nd in... out of three. Whoops. )

Competition

[Leigh]

It's supposed to be by itself in the middle of the backwoods, hence why I haven't made any other houses. Do you think the cliffs would look better if they were lower?

[hops]

Maybe, but don't bring them too low without adding a second tier of trees, or something. Those props start to lose the illusion quick once you get too close to them.

[Leigh]

How do I make curved displacement cliffs similar to the ones in EP2?

[Magman77]

To add to this, turning off "spacial" lets you use the "face normal" and "subdiv normal" axes which are EXTREMELY helpful for painting in details that would be difficult on the X/Y/Z axis.

[Skerious]

Is this meant to be that one town from Skyrim, or am I just going nuts?

[Leigh]

How do these windows look? Maybe I'm being too hard on myself but they look too simple to me
