WIP pictures from my map.
I like the lighting.
yeah the lighting is REALLY good.
Oh crap, don't sign me in, but if I have time, I'll whip up something fast tomorrow. Epic time for me to make my return to Facepunch, I would've really wanted to join in this competition :<
Some epic maps in this thread anyway! :O
Also my birthday is September 20th, yay for me! :D
Adding the final cosmetics:
Do you guys like this lighting:

This is the EP2 version, the DM version will look a bit different
that looks even better in EP2 than in DM
Looks great, the blue tint adds a lot.
I feel like a little shit in middle of desert with my shit map between these perfect ones :D
[QUOTE=Stickmna;17380201]I'm still not getting how combining all the maps would work in any form. I mean, what would happen to the maps in the middle? You would have to remove the walls in order to gain assess to them, or remove so much stuff it would be the same. Unless your talking about a room that has teliports to each individual map.[/QUOTE]
Granted that some maps might have a lot of detail cramped into them, but you can always make small tunnels that connect them all together; a grid layout so to speak.

A desert sounds like a cool idea for combining some of these maps. Transforming them in to outposts scattered in a large desert? Something like that I guess. That would be a Gmod-oriented map rather than a HL2DM map.

connecting all the maps would be difficult, In Tarrenteller's map, he has to use some sort of entity that had a black barrier in between area in order to optimize it properly. A dessert would be an even bigger problem in terms of optimization.
Anyone else have any insight to this?

Fuck optimizing, skyboxes are going to be the problem.

Well that too, but it wouldn't help much when you've got gigantic stretches of texture dissipating every 10 feet.
Also, is it OK if I submit my map later in the day tomorrow? I'm just about done with the layout- it's a mess, but I'll get to that when I post pictures- and I was going to do detail work then.
My excuse is that I have been getting an unbelievably large number of assignments these past two weeks, and I hadn't really had time to map.
I'll understand if the answer is no, but I at least request that my map is included in the HL2DM cycle, If it's done by then.
I hope I'm not too late to enter, I just found this thread about an hour ago. Working on my map now and should be done fairly soon.

Nice, thank you.
Shit, I really would have liked to give this a go. Oh well, I guess I'll get in on the next one.
I never got around to finishing my submission.
Screenshots from my final version. I might tweak things around a tad but this is pretty much done.

It's nice, but please, add a [i]shadow_controller[/i]. Turquoise shadows just don't look right.
Thanks. Looks a lot better now.

The final version of my map.
[url]http://www.filefront.com/14567989/Dm_512.zip[/url]
I've never made a deathmatch map before so I don't know if the items I placed on the map automtically respawn or not. It uses ep2 content so you'll probably have to play it in Gmod.
A lot of maps are going to named dm_512 aren't they
EDIT:
gmdm_hazard(Or as I called it, the EP2 version):

I'll put the download up later whenever I get time
Well, god damn it. I'm going to have to throw in the towel.
My layout is done, and if I put in some more work I would be able to get it done.
The problem is that I'm not using skills I have not used before, displacements and actually incorporating arches into my layout. I also wanted to experiment with uderlighting, but I don't think this is the competition to do it in.
If anyone wants to take the work I've done so far (about 95% of it is done in terms of game play, detailing and proper texture work still need to be done).
I'll post a download link of the VMF if anyone wants to use it ( it's allowed, right?) if not, pm me.
Good luck to the rest of the contestants.
