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

[QUOTE=Terrenteller]About the skybox, check the Encyclopedia.[/QUOTE] Thanks :)

I like the grass version a lot better than the desert. You might want to change the color of the displacements to something gray though.

[QUOTE=Xystus234]I like the grass version a lot better than the desert. You might want to change the color of the displacements to something gray though.[/QUOTE] The cliff do need a new color.

First map?!?! I think it's your 25 map! Because in first day my friend and i create a my apartement! But that(NOT YOUR) map have some glitches...

[QUOTE=MS-DOS4]"Not bad for a first map"? You best be joking.[/QUOTE] It isn't really that bad for a first map, I'd agree. :) And honestly, it just got better with them cliffs.

hell of a lot better than my first map

You make me want to kill myself :( I have been mapping for a year, and this is your first map and it is eight times better than anything I have ever made.

[QUOTE=Homicidal R1]You make me want to kill myself :( I have been mapping for a year, and this is your first map and it is eight times better than anything I have ever made.[/QUOTE] I just put a lot of time into it. I just built a flat grass and added, and added, and added, and added, and this is what popped out. I hit a lot of errors but got past them, some of them took me a few days of throwing stuff in anger to figure out. And there isn't anything in the map that you can't make with in about 30mins of work. The most complex thing in the map is either a door or the areaportal (the underground base). Other then that it's brushes and diplacements.

This map is very impressive! Me and a friend's server have it on default, it lacks big open plains on the battlefield or suffice space to fly bigger aircraft in though. Other than that, it's a great map!

[QUOTE=Pacstorm]This map is very impressive! Me and a friend's server have it on default, it lacks big open plains on the battlefield or suffice space to fly bigger aircraft in though. Other than that, it's a great map![/QUOTE] Well there should be a 2nd beta soon. Have any suggestions? By "suffice space to fly bigger aircraft", do you mean the height of the skybox? I did lower it some time ago and can raise it if needed. I also might redo some parts for more open space.

Bigger as in by the X and Y axis, a little bit more on the Z axis perhaps.

[QUOTE=Pacstorm]Bigger as in by the X and Y axis, a little bit more on the Z axis perhaps.[/QUOTE] For the X and Y. It's pretty much at the end of the hammer grid =/ [b]Edit:[/b] Here are some updated pics. Fixed a few things, and added some stuff. Made it some what more open. [IMG]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g163/agonyskater311/Hammer/ubasev11_30006.jpg[/IMG] Fixed some texture problems and added some cool lights.

I love the update you did to the building by the bridge! Any plans on updating the beta?

[QUOTE=Pacstorm]I love the update you did to the building by the bridge! Any plans on updating the beta?[/QUOTE] Of course. The next beta will have a grass and sand version.

If you think you have the time, I would really like a few things added to the map: One very tall mountain with the snow texture at the top, and also a forest with so many trees it's hard to navigate. I would love to build a hidden combine base in the forest, then set traps all over the place, and see who gets caught :lol:. And the mountain would be useful for making gliders, and dropping stuff on people. Possible some more detail to the land. It gets kind of repetitive after a while... But keep up the good work :D. And although I don't know if this would work, as I'm not very good with displacements, is it possible to make a round island, that you can still displace? I think an island in the middle of a lake or something would be cool.

There will be more added, I'm just lazy.

you, my friend, are epic. great job

Right on! I just started using hammer as well, and it IS quite simple

:4chan:I can see you got your textures fixed!:4chan:

[QUOTE=kak714]:4chan:I can see you got your textures fixed!:4chan:[/QUOTE] For the most part yes :D

You should label the lock and unlock buttons in the hangar, they were pretty confusing.

[QUOTE=Pacstorm]You should label the lock and unlock buttons in the hangar, they were pretty confusing.[/QUOTE] yes please do

Looking really nice :) Maybe a few trees or something?

For the main base, is there is there infilitration points? Like ventilation shafts, vulnerabilities. Will make a good map for full fledge wars, with special ops, artillery, maybe assassinations. For a first map, this is godly.

Right now there is only the main gate, no other ways in. And thank you :D

Wow Your map is great! you are better mapper than me!

So this may have been brought up before, but the space between the center bridge support and the side of the water seems a little small. What if I wanted to build a bigger ship then that space and send it to the other side? Other than my small complaint, the map looks like it is made of pure win.

Anyway I'm changing this to the EP2 engine cause I finally got unlazy and bought it. Seems ok in hammer, haven't compiled yet though.

I love were this is going, man I can't really belive this is your first map. it's incredible.
