30-aught-six, have you experience in other world editors? I've never known of a case where someone can design something with such intricacy as that map appears to have on there first whack at using Hammer.

Also, I love how all the would-be respected mappers (if they weren't so up themselves) are finding the tiniest faults in your map and picking at them like some day-old scab.
Give the guy a break.
This is one really nice map. You definitely deserve the Mapping Kings you have received. It's good to see you put some time and effort into it. :)
Also, ALSO. I've noticed the FPS has dropped severely. Have a read of this article:

There is some optimization in the map. Not a lot though :(
And for your question about other world mapping editors. I have said this is my first "hammer" map. I used to map for unreal 04.
You know I had you down as an UnrealED-er. You can tell from your terrain ;)
Well the EP2 config in hammer works great! Compiled with few errors (none you can see in game). Also does the new engine build the cubemaps when you compile?? I didn't have to type "buildcubemaps" in the console while playing the level cause it was already built.
No, it doesn't.
[QUOTE=Lord Ned]No, it doesn't.[/QUOTE]
I see. I guess I thought that cause the purple checkers on the windows were gone.
Well the 2nd beta is almost done. Should be done by Sunday.

Oh and for my fps drop. turns out I left x8 AA on, Set it back to 2 like normal.
What i think would be cool is if you could make the lake a bit deeper and wider and make a small underwater cave or something that leads to a small underground base

It is deeper and is wider under the bridge now. A cave will be added some day when I get around to it :D (need to learn how to make one first)

ok cool and did you make those tanks and the plane? if you did do you have an adv dup?
[QUOTE=Rocket Man]ok cool and did you make those tanks and the plane? if you did do you have an adv dup?[/QUOTE]
The plane I made the other day but didn't really finish it. And the tank I made a few months ago and it is BEAST, it's about 150+ props and will KILL your cpu if it freaks out.
Here was my first post about it.

[b]Edit:[/b]
I quit working on the tank cause it's just to much to use on anything but a really high end system and won't work on a server for the fact it will bring the server to 1 fps or less or crash it.
Oh and yes I do have the adv dub. Also In the video is one of the very first beta's for this map!
Damn that's looking good. Keep it up.

Thank you.

And for the 2nd beta release, I have used custom textures and I am not sure If the BSP will have them. I have used pakrat but it didn't do much with auto. There are about 3-4 textures and will they be in the bsp? Will people with out them added to the EP2 folder not see them?
[b]Edit:[/b]
The texture packs Include

I can upload the much better Beta 2, but No one has answered my texture question.
How long does it take to compile? Awesome map by the way!
[QUOTE=Joazzz]How long does it take to compile? Awesome map by the way![/QUOTE]
15mins. No I do Not use full vvis =/ takes a LONG time.
I am uploading the 2nd beta, I am just going to link the Mat addons you need and you can put them in garysmod/materials your self.
[b]Edit:[/b]

For "Hammer" it is, read the thread.

Ahh, for hammer... :>
You can go back and fix those mistakes. Try adding a ' to them.
Nice map. I've never had the patience to really detail/fix my maps after I make them. Definitely have my download.

I could have done a lot more but I really haven't been working on it in the past 4 weeks.
[QUOTE=The Fallen]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[/QUOTE]
We're in the same sinking boat my friend (although I bet you've gotten better by the time I read this) I am a noob at hammer and currently working on a bunker Zombie Master map. Looks good but I am terrible with skyboxes xP
By the way, great map. You got my 100% download =D
