[QUOTE=pac0master;43109629]How long did it take to make all the displacement etc?[/QUOTE] not too long actually. This is rather unrefined, so it didn't take nearly as long as other pieces of terrain. Source vmf for those who want it as well. [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/eikatwufuh1zrur/gm_coldsnow_src.7z[/url]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rcAqC4F.jpg[/IMG] I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. I've tried remaking the brush and moving all the geometry into a new map, but it still does this. Anyone have any ideas? There's nothing leaked.

Sometimes holes will appear if you have complex, non func_detail geometry.

[QUOTE=Flyguy13;43113950]Are the wooden beams func_detailed? Sometimes holes will appear if you have complex, non func_detail geometry.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I func_detailed them. There's another brush atop that one that has the hole in it too, so it's like it randomly covered one triangle with nodraw

You can use anything in the map as long as you give credit where it's due.

Oh almost forgot on the ceiling use the sun shaft model and light spotlight together. Thats all the things I can think of.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;43098529]Been working on custom animated textures for the cell door control buttons in my new JB map [IMG]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/491187787924739973/E82AE13D1CB2CF6BF6337589E86756831CFFE871/[/IMG][/QUOTE] that looks cool, but if you replaced the concrete behind those buttons with like a clean black surface, it would look cooler

I just turned the brush into a func_detail which seems to have fixed it. It's not sealing the map and doesn't affect the lighting so whatever I guess.

Not much, but I'm experimenting with some sprites. I'm trying to go for the street-lamps-in-foggy-weather look. [t]http://i.imgur.com/MMc4B9f.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/SFgv6ty.jpg[/t] Sure as hell would be nice to get soft-clipping working for the sprites in Source.

[QUOTE=Strider_07;43117299]That's a really nice effect, is it just a huge custom sprite?[/QUOTE] It's just one of the default sprites scaled up to 32 or 64, specifically the one that's kinda dim. Forgot what the texture name was. Also, the smaller light is a separate sprite.

[QUOTE=SirLemon;43115075]that looks cool, but if you replaced the concrete behind those buttons with like a clean black surface, it would look cooler[/QUOTE] I know, that is simply a placeholder until I get all the holograms wired up and sorted out.

[QUOTE=seba079;43113096]Those 1:1 stairs :<[/QUOTE] What's wrong with this?

[QUOTE=seba079;43113096]Those 1:1 stairs :<[/QUOTE] [QUOTE='[CWG]RustySpannerz;43118798']What's wrong with this?[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking, standard stair size is 8x8 / 12x8

[QUOTE=fear me;43113814]Those shrooms are from Fallout 3 aren't they?[/QUOTE] Yes they are from new vegas.

[QUOTE=GameDev;43119606]That's what I was thinking, standard stair size is 8x8 / 12x8[/QUOTE] When did you last see 1:1 stairs in real life? I use 16x8, since that's what most of the decent looking stair textures are mapped to.

12x8 is the standard size for TF2 stairs.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;43121876]Make it a particle, they have soft-clipping[/QUOTE] Wait, particles actually have soft-clipping? Sweeto. Does that only apply to the newer games like CSGO, or does it work with any other Source game?

[QUOTE='[CWG]RustySpannerz;43124700']I've never used instancing, can you explain exactly what it made easier?[/QUOTE] make one street lamp in an instance, place the instance 20 times if you want to edit the brightness on all of them you edit the instance and all of them get updated.

Protip don't instance displacements

[QUOTE=seba079;43124801]Protip don't instance displacements[/QUOTE] Would you mind telling why?

They break in all sorts of ways, including but not limited to warping oddly at the edges. I'm not sure if this is limited to the TF2 editor, but being that the feature was kinda shoehorned in I think it should work fine in other versions. Can anyone provide more insight on this?
