[QUOTE=dbT;14715537]lol, complain much? It's a nice idea but maybe not all that perfected, give the guy some fucking credit instead of just ultrabashing him? (and kingy, put it in the main mapping-section and name it [WIP] and you won't get hammered by complaints as much)[/QUOTE]
Nobody is bashing him. Everyone says it's an oversimplified idea, with very poor execution. If giving my opinion is bashing, then I don't know what actual flaming is.
look, Instead of saying "very blocky" say "its very blocky, you can improve this by..."
[QUOTE=Neddy;14714591]Lol you changed the lighting VERY barely then say it's a new version ? omg god man and YOU triple posted[/QUOTE]
I said earlier, that the old one was a beta, and I think I shouldn't of put final after the name of the map because you lot will find somthing else for me to change.
my first map released was
[url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=66743][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=66743[/img][/url]
so I'm releasing my map as an update, not a new version
my computers crappy so all the visual options are on low (does that help)
There is only one thing you should do to this map. Take a look at it. It looks like shit. Take a moment to think, how could i improve this?
Here is a few hints.
1. Detail it. A platform should consist of 5, big, blocky brushes. Border it, even it. Chamfer it.
2. Raise the god damn texture scale. No matter it's repeating when you haven't changed the scale of it. instead of 0.25 use 0.5 for example.
3. Brushes should never clip. EVER.
4. Spend time on it.
I'm not going to do any more work on this, I'll take your hints and use them with new projects (current one, gm_greenhouses)
[QUOTE=Jukka K;14713851]Well, now it has (very dull) lighting but it's still blocky and badly textured.[/QUOTE]
and i would like to see you do much better?
[QUOTE=Terragen;14726985]and i would like to see you do much better?[/QUOTE]
trust me, he can
[QUOTE=Terragen;14726985]and i would like to see you do much better?[/QUOTE]
:cawg: I think I can.
For example browse the Map Pimpage. There are some images from my maps.

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;14765922]for example?[/QUOTE]
Just lol, he's a pretty experienced mapper, go look at his maps.
links, I'm not trawling through a big thread just to supplement someone ego.
Not in Map Pimpage but: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=653227[/url]
he's been at mapping longer
:crying:

well if hes so good then why are they all WIPS and not released?
[QUOTE=Terragen;14768428]well if hes so good then why are they all WIPS and not released?[/QUOTE]
wait a minute, you have a point.
:)
[QUOTE=Terragen;14768428]well if hes so good then why are they all WIPS and not released?[/QUOTE]
Because I easily get bored on one map and start another, but I also had some problems with that map (it never had that good layout).
But right now I'm making big and detailed city map and it has good layout done, so it will be released.
anyway, we're geting side tracked, only post if you want to say something about the map.
no ego bashing.
Post some new content then, We already agreed it was bad. Give us something new to comment.
ok, stop posting then
i'll make a new thread for new content, i just fucked up my first release. not func details, hours to compile, forgot to put in lighting, the list goes on, my skills have improve because i realesed it, but its time to move on
[QUOTE=Kingy_who;14768097]he's been at mapping longer
:crying:[/QUOTE]
Then why'd you go after him? :pseudo:
[QUOTE=Kingy_who;14768097]he's been at mapping longer
:crying:[/QUOTE]
Exactly.
That is why he is a good mapper, and you are not.
So you are saying "if a map was made earlier in someones mapping career, but it is bad, then it is better than good maps made by experienced people"
Thats just stupid
And the fact that all of his are WIP.
As he said, he gets bored. But he also spends more than a few minutes on each

Hours to compile with no lighting?
It takes me 20 minutes to compile a semi-detailed map with lighting and hdr.
You really need to optimise

Compile time also really depends on computer hardware. Maybe he's computer is shit? But still, more than 1 hour on such a map must mean bad/no optimizing.
my first version wasn't optimised at all, and my computer is low avarage specs, can run the games but not the best.
optimizing was one of the skills i learnt.
Maybe you should create an Antlion cave map with unique nodes that make Antlions fly and run around everywhere. That would be cool. Also including flat nesting areas for eggs and melons with hive props inside, and deep trenches that kill ppl and npc's when they reach somewhere down low.
That would be cool.
