[IMG]http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad284/themcdanee/hmmm0026.jpg[/IMG] new models for the lights

Hmmm... It's very blocky. Add some overlays, make the bits the pumps are on lower and the building itself isn't very realistic. I'm sure you've been to a gas station before and generally, the front wall is made of a glass door and windows. Also, I'm not sure what you've done for the interior, but it would be a lot like a store. And I just noticed, the road going to the station doesn't come off the road properly. It's a good start, but it has a long way to go to be "release worthy".

For the gas-station: - Make the overheadthing thinner - Make the floor thinner - Add (bigg) windows at the front - Change the door (it does not fit) - Spice up the building with props (like pipes, tires and barrels, common stuff that you will find in a gas-station. Goes for the rest of the map aswell)

[QUOTE=SnoriS;20076976]yea i added window frames on the windows. the cylinder thingy didnt work i tried to do it just like u told me[/QUOTE] Ok, just do what you did in this picture to make the rounded edges of the bases the gas pumps sit on, but use the clipping tool again to cut it to just the 90 degrees you want. [IMG]http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad284/themcdanee/hmmm0024.jpg[/IMG] Alternatively, you could try using the Block tool set to arch, if you really can't figure out how to use the clipping tool. EDIT: Media tags don't work anymore?

[QUOTE=CoLD_IcE;20040730]Well, the architecture is quite blocky... And that's one weird clip brush you got on the stairs.[/QUOTE] Why is it weird? when you go up the stairs you go diagonally and it's not like the game detects exactly where the players feet are touching so having an invisible ramp will make creating the nav easier and the movement will look the same. On topic now OP, there's a map pimpage thread to post work in progress screenshots, no need to create a thread.

[QUOTE=Technopath;20139024] On topic now OP, there's a map pimpage thread to post work in progress screenshots, no need to create a thread.[/QUOTE] He doesn't have to and it's not like the mapping section is overcrowded with WIP threads anyway. The pimpage thread is more of a "hey, I made an amazing map, look at this, give me compliments etc." as oppose to a C&C thread.

Or you could use a 12 sided cylinder cut into fourths as the corners for the gas pump. Makes for some nice rounded corners.

And change the lightmap so the pillars loot even more smooth. [URL="http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Lightmap"]http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Lightmap[/URL]

[QUOTE=SnoriS;20139052]i made cylinders and cuted them in half[/QUOTE] Now, cut them in half again, and there are your sidewalk corners! :eng101:

yea but the texture will still look the same

[QUOTE=SnoriS;20168878]yea but the texture will still look the same[/QUOTE] :eng99: What do you mean? The corner texture and your street texture look different. You might need to raise the sidewalk somewhat to get it to work. Also, make sure it's func_detail'd.

I don't mean to be rude, Snoris, but here's a [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3]spell checker.[/url] You're spelling is almost there, better than most people on facepunch, and a spell checker would help. I use one, they're really handy. Anways, back on topic, if you've done what people have been saying, how about some updates.

[QUOTE=SnoriS;20186455]About that Addon for mozilla firefox. I use Internet Explorer. And for the update i dont realy have anything to show u guys yet but soon[/QUOTE] Use Firefox, it's generally better. It has cool addons and it's faster.

nah i used firefox before but i think internet explorer works fine and here in sweden the spell checker doesnt work on english :(

No it does not. It gets red lines under each english word. Annoying. Why do I know this? I logged in on fathers pc.
