ToxSin Needs Mappers!

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

Just made some more progress. I will be sure to add more details. The light is clearly not final since I'm using a daylight skybox for testing.

[~ZOMG]

The staircase needs a railing and the support things outside are kind of blocky but it looks pretty good.

[editline]26th March 2011[/editline]

Although the lighting is a tad bland.

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

I don't plan on changing the supports but maybe the textures. Since there are house with supports just like those. Also I'm currently fixing up the lighting since it in reality is very bland and I'm also adding railings to the top of the stairs.

[~ZOMG]

I think it would look okay with some sexy textures.

How's d'you fancy this? Some bunker thing I've been working on and off with. They're both quite old, I'll grab some newer ones.

How do I fix this shadow leakage? The shadow is coming from a bed frame above.

Would a countryside map work, because I made one.

[MerzBro]

Any map will do, as long as it's got outdoor areas, and NPCs can get anywhere on the map where players can go.

It also helps to have cramped areas as well as open areas to keep the map interesting. And the map itself should be somewhat large, like about as big as de_cbble or bigger.

Looks good, but is it all indoors? It'd need some outside areas.

The lights are too bright at the actual models. The atmosphere is nice, but the brightness sort of draws attention away from the rest of it.

disable shadows in the keyvalues of it.

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

I am now working on the barn.

[Firegod522]

Good luck. Last time I tried a barn it failed horribly.

[~ZOMG]

You're gonna add lots of supports, right?

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

Why yes I am.

[Chaingunfighter]

Could I possibly port models from L4D2 from the Cemetary part or would that be too much?

[MerzBro]

Anyone is allowed to make a map (this is all volunteer work), although purple fog is generally not the best thing to have in a ToxSin map.

Also snip that massive quote.

Yeah, I don't know why I quoted this

And don't worry, this will be NOTHING like papocalypse :)

Also, I don't really understand how to use FGDs, so I'm just going to create custom entities in the map that are pretty bland (I wont have much control over it) but they will work with the game mode.

Also, I'll make some reference pics in a moment, for what a base idea of the center of the city will be like.

Quick question:

How do I post pictures to my threads?

[MerzBro]

More work done on my military bunker map...

[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/Untitled-57.png[/IMG]

Kind of slow going though. I lose interest easily.

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

More progress on my map and of course the lighting isn't final but getting there:

[Stupideye]

The indoor lighting needs work.

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

I don't want to over board on the lighting on the inside since it will looks very odd from the outside so can you be more specific?

[Stupideye]

Sorry. I meant that the light spots on the ceilings in some of the pictures doesn't look that good. Use light_spot's if you aren't already for those.

[.FLAP.JACK.DAN.]

I do have light_spots but I guess they don't show up unless I'm far enough back. I might try to make it stronger if you want.

[Chaingunfighter]

alright, so I've got some basic layout of my inner area of what the start is (The obsolete things are the lootspawns early on and the military spawns)

[url]http://postimage.org/image/2ef6fxgv8/[/url]

This is a base image of the wrecked tower and the clip brushes to block everything from going there

[url]http://postimage.org/image/1gkfwrfok/[/url]

The tower near the start area

[url]http://postimage.org/image/1gkj7u4o4/[/url]

The whole area

Now for some pictures in actual gameplay, I do not have those yet, but will eventually (These will be a little more up-to-date)

Edit:
Flapjack, what the hell is so funny about this?

[Firegod522]

Roads?

This looks a hell of a lot like the ZPS map.

"...well I'm the only one here so you have to be talking to me."

no but seriously you need to make some roads.

More work done on my army supply depot thingy. I plan to add a bunch of military buildings on the map.

I find that light_spot entities make my lighting look like shit, but maybe that's just me.

place down a light and change brightness to like a blue, kinda dark and grey with intensity of 2 or 3, then set quadratic to 0 then constant to 1.
