My first hammer map. Based around gcombat! Pre-release pics and info. - Developers

[QUOTE=Terrenteller]Whatever you find best takes care of the problem. [url=http://deathbynukes.us.to/releases/]Hacked VBSP[/url][/QUOTE] Oh I see what you mean now, and the program seems very useful, Thank you again :)

Pics of the 2nd base I added today.

So it has steady fps almost everywhere. Edit: Just noticed the error in the 2nd pic :D Also did some work on the first base. Yes I know the over hanging things and the bridge are pure white. No cubemaps for them :P [IMG]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/agonyskater311/ubasev6_10001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/agonyskater311/ubasev5_70005.jpg[/IMG]

I think the water is too bluey for a desert themed map. Try the tropical water or something. The new base looks nice, but I've never really gotten the point of those wall-less structures.>_>

Jesus, this looks too good to be a first! Good job! I'll eagerly waiting for the download for this!

how do you get games i already downloaded it but doesn't work [b]Edit:[/b] hey i am a noob so some 1 tell me [b]Edit:[/b] i am a noob so how do u get in a game [b]Edit:[/b] how do get in a game i want to play [b]Edit:[/b] ok sorry for that but i dont know how to get in

Stop spamming edits. Their not going to make people reply any faster, especially if your going to just keep repeating the same meaningless phrases.

Oh just ignore him, it looks like he pirated whatever he's trying to get into anyway so he doesn't deserve help. For a first this looks really good dude, I can see you've put a lot of effort into it. I would suggest maybe varying the sand texture a bit however.

It's not permanent, I just felt like adding on to test the light maps for that area.

Inside looks decent, outside looks boring and blocky. (reffering to the first and 2nd maps)

This looks amazing. I can't see anything wrong with it, but I'm not an experienced mapper, really. I can't wait until you release it.

Two months of trial and error, over 350 compiles, my hammer saves folder is almost a gig in size :D Also to who ever notices. I KNOW there are lighting problems, but right now I'm not worried about that and they will be fixed in time.

Wow if this is your first map then you must be one of them! Every once an a while a really good mapper comes along and if you made that on your first map then dude you must be one of them

update please. I can`t wait for this map

[QUOTE=Rocket Man]update please. I can`t wait for this map[/QUOTE] =/ One pic for you. [IMG]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/agonyskater311/ubasev6_60007.jpg[/IMG]

I just started to read this thread, to see what people expect of a first map, as I've just started to work with hammer, trying to make a map. Note the trying. If this is what people expect, I'm scared. :( Seriously, this looks like a great map. I wouldn't know where to start with some of the things you've done in this. So final verdict: Bloody Awesome and keep it up. :D

:megamonoc Also, does the map have cubemaps built?

[QUOTE=Nerdboy]:megamonoc Also, does the map have cubemaps built?[/QUOTE] It does. I need to add some to certain places like the over hangs, but that's only if I choose to use HDR.

I've spent alot of time on this map and have learned A LOT of things that you can do and can not do in hammer. This was a flatgrass map with a fort, and well I started on one part, then another, and another. And well it turned into this so far. :D Hammer isn't all that hard if you get the map working and know what you can do. It's all about how creative you are and where you can go with it. And thank you for the comment!

[QUOTE=30-aught-six]=/ One pic for you. [/QUOTE] A pic for me? YAY! (runs jumping with joy into the night)

OK This is a LONG post (Ignore since I didn't post with [IMG] code). But it's MUCH more detailed then all of my previous posts. So enjoy. It should explain the level in more detail and give a sense of what the map is going to be like. The image total is about 30 pictures. Should I post [img] or just direct links to not take up a lot of page space? I will post pics in a bit when they are done uploading. [b] Edit [/b] I'll just post Direct links. They will be up in a few minutes. [b]Edit:[/b] To start off. I redid the textures for the main base to look more realistic and did some detail work as well.

There are still parts of the map I'm working on and have problems. But they will be fixed before I release the map. And I hope you enjoy it when I do :) [b]Edit:[/b] Anyone care to make some suggestions on what else to do. Right now I'm just doing some detail work and finishing up the map.

Well shit, it's looking good dude. Wish my Hammer wasn't being a bitch else I'd have helped out with the second base.

[QUOTE=Big_M]Well shit, it's looking good dude. Wish my Hammer wasn't being a bitch else I'd have helped out with the second base.[/QUOTE] It's cause your computer hates you. And thank you.

The overall map is really good, but I'd suggest that you put the heli-pad on top of an existing building and remove all the ramps up to it. An elevator or even a teleporter up to the top.

[QUOTE=LuckOrLoss]The overall map is really good, but I'd suggest that you put the heli-pad on top of an existing building and remove all the ramps up to it. An elevator or even a teleporter up to the top.[/QUOTE] Yeah that would be good. I'll probably end up doing that cause running up those ramps really sucks, if you sprint you fly off.

[QUOTE=30-aught-six]running up those ramps really sucks, if you sprint you fly off.[/QUOTE] Does that sound bad to you? Because to me it sounds AWESOME. I think you should keep a sprinting ramp somewhere, maybe next to the canyon so you can sprint up and fling into the air over the river. I mean seriously that is pretty much the most fun thing I can think of right now.

But what I meant is when you sprint up it you can't turn, It's a bit to steep =/

Good map, by the pictures i think by now it should have at least a public beta out or people will lose intrest because its takin so long :) Great work tho, Grats

[QUOTE=Tereto]Good map, by the pictures i think by now it should have at least a public beta out or people will lose intrest because its takin so long :) Great work tho, Grats[/QUOTE] Thanks. I'll fix up some stuff tonight and release a beta if anyone wants me to :)

[QUOTE=30-aught-six]Thanks. I'll fix up some stuff tonight and release a beta if anyone wants me to :)[/QUOTE] Yes, please. I'm not worried if it's incomplete I just wanna see it. :D
