[QUOTE=swerik;16389767]I love constructive critique. :) But the statue i supposed to look like it's the devil'ls work! That tempel is an old mysterious temple that doesn't make much sense :P. There's a regular curch in the small town if people want that...
And about the handles, one of the two torches on the wall behind the statue is the lever that opens the passage.
And offcourse I will add some light to the crypt, but i'm not sure if i want it to be a thousand year old forgotten crypt or a thousand year old crypt still in use...[/QUOTE]
Is the temple supposed to be as old as the crypt? It would make sense if it was linked when it was built long ago. If it is a thousand-year old temple though, shouldn't it be a little more... decayed? If people are using the town church, they wouldn't go to some strange temple. Maybe some patches of the roof would be missing, some of the ceiling supports are starting to crumble.
Great map though! :D
EDIT: I just reread your post and I LOVE that torch lever idea! It's really cliche, but it'd be perfect in a map like this.
good
Swerik, are you able to play Gmod? Or atleast get on steam?
If you can get on steam then add me again please - Johnjoemcbob
Mmmm..... that field is great, and the crypt idea is cool. I'm liking the adiea of making the church abandoned thugh... decrepid and collapsing. Maybe only one door out front, one on the floor, tipped or stolen pews, loose stones in the walls and such. The crypt might need to look even more used than the curch, like boards across that stone gap, and torches in the floor or something, maybe some new furniture and alchohol in one corner with a bed or something like someone has been living there... be creepier.
That and, I think there needs to be a couple more farm fields... like two or something... it would help change the landscape, cover up the boring old grass, provide a new landscape that's unusual, and because it's naturally fairly conformist and the same throughout, it would be natural looking, and use up lots of space whilst still gicing you space... Think about it. That and make sure to add that secret cave I talked about under the well, with a small pond under the well in the cave and a way out into the mountains.... You could even connect the crypt with it possibly.
sounds nice, i'll certainly think about!
And for those who do not know, i'm back home now.
Ok so what i'm up to now is:
* i will finnish the crypy and tempel
* i will add more scenery to the landscape, such as trees, rocks....
* i might connect the crypt with the well in the castle
* and i will try to fix the glitches that has appeared from poor optimizing
IF ANYONE HERE IS GOOD AT OPTIMIZING PLEASE TELL ME.
(i might need help with it, and if you help me then offcourse will you be given as much credit as i will!)
make a big underground rock cave system.
Here are some pictures, i've done some changes in the crypt.

Do want.
I can't wait! Keep going!
EDIT: Is it possible to make it look like it's surrounded by mountains or something? Because the land looking like it just ends like that kinda takes away from it...
I'm trying to make your map look bad (You know I love it <3) But take a look at this pic:
[media]http://www.touchmusic.org.uk/touchradio/Radio25/GrassyPlain.JPG[/media]
You see? Try to make your grass hills look just a little bit more like that ;)
What I mean is, you need a little more detail to the hills ;)
I'm not saying you have to make it look completely real and all because that's just not possible, but a little more real would be cool :) Maybe even another less tiling grass texture?
i agree with Ryu-gi and mr_fj and well...im following the post till the begining and i think u made great progress and i cant w8 till its release :D
this is truly amazing....
It would take me two years to do this by myself...
well, thank you :)
I will probably release a beta of the map soon
oh and i forgot is it only HL 2 texture u are using cause i dont have css and i really want to play the map!!!!!! :S
yes the map is in hl2 format so everyone can stay calm.
[QUOTE=swerik;16621510]well, thank you :)
I will probably release a beta of the map soon[/QUOTE]
You've done a great job cant wait for the beta XD
I just released a beta of my other medieval map, maybe it could still your hunger a little :P
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=790610[/url]
Still working on this?
Yayness occurred.
Add some kind of bandit camp in the woods.
Also, add a river and and a mill :D
And for that farm, add a chicken coop and like cow/horse/sheep/etc. pens.
Okay, now I'm asking too much :D
[B]Edit:[/B]
Okay, just realized there is a mill :P
you also realzed there's a bandit house in the woods to? :P
i camed.. cant wait!
May we have some sort of rock-textured roads?
I mean, come on, if you know your history around 350 AC - 1905 had rock roads.
Warning: Dates may vary.
Also, torture-chamber in Isle 3!
dont let this die
i cant wait to se the final result!
[QUOTE=David1021;16690228]dont let this die[/QUOTE]
It wont die its almost done only some bugs left
pip12345 is right. There are just some bugs and minor detailing left to do.
And if can't fix those bugs i'll still release it.
Please replace the grass texture, I have always hated the grass from GM_Flatgrass.
it's hl2 format so that's the only grass texture that blends with rocks. In other words i can't replace it.
WOW another great map from swerik,
so when will it be released?
[editline]06:40PM[/editline]
[QUOTE=MindMuncher;13900506]are theses custom textures? I've wanted some nice castle textures and yours look pretty nice. If they aren't custom, then are they from CS:S?[/QUOTE]
No I think they are counter strike source,
as I'm sure ive seen them on de_cbble
on the main buildings and towers.
[QUOTE=swerik;16701543]it's hl2 format so that's the only grass texture that blends with rocks. In other words i can't replace it.[/QUOTE]
You will find a way. [highlight]You MUST.[/highlight]
I really can not wait to combine this map with some MedievalRP, this my firend, is possibly the best thing since bread and butter, its' a really detailed and super awesome map, a nice touch would be a mine, in MedievalRP, i was always wanting an actual mine, going underground 'n' all that mining to me is epic , although a quarry is nice, i pefer actual mines, i was brought up in a mining comunity, wich is most probably why i like it so much.
A nice pulley system to transport rocks would be good, but i think, you should pass on this, seeing though it is close to release, i don't want you to put extra work on for you, but it was the tought that counts eh?
-EDIT-
Ok, seeing the community hates that idea and thinks it is dumb, just ignore it.
