What's up with all those violet cars? I doubt there would be more than one car with that colour in there.

sorry, was too lazy to vary the car colors

I dont think thats a big deal. Looks still nice.

Even if it's just detail. It's really eyecatching. Maybe it's just because I focus on every detail, but that really looks weird

Are those sand & grass textures very low resolution, or are you running on low settings?
[QUOTE=Vincentor;44138046]Are those sand & grass textures very low resolution, or are you running on low settings?[/QUOTE]
yes i have to run on low, because if i won't, loading any map will crash the game

I would advise against flipping car models upside down whose tires have obviously settled/deflated like the five in this picture.

Well this [I]is[/I] the map [U]pimpage[/U] thread, so eye catching repetition like that should probably be fixed if he meant to show it off as a pimped map.

Added a dummy building round the park (I think il make the second bit to that dummy building accessible so you have apartments looking over the park)

Eddie, UNREAL made a map like this a while ago, you can use some inspiration:

OK, I feel like I should stop you here. If you want to get better at mapping/architecture you should really start looking up some reference material. In my experience it's much more important to develop a good understanding of architecture, and scale by looking at reference images and reading stuff than just creating a huge number of blocky looking brick buildings.
Even as just a side project to stave off boredom, I urge you to just look up a cool looking apartment/skyscraper/whatever and try creating either that building in Source or your own take on that building with those aspects of it.

Yeah, I used to just make stuff off the top of my head, and I always wondered why everything look like someone had messed up with Lego's. I soon realised that if I base it off something such as a photo, areas from another video game or even some concept art you will find you make stuff that looks a hell of a lot better. Right now the stuff you are making is passable, but its not going to attract a lot of people.
You guys still like roads, riiight?

Edit: Might need to tone down that red a little.
The trees seem to be a little too close to the road, a truck would easily hit the branches.
I sorta like my modern bright road texture as shown which i'll have in my map and it is easy to put in aswell, I have them all as func_detail and when I need to, ill nodraw and turn them into world geometry to shorten the map compile time and/or make errors go away.

has anyone really thought about what makes a good RP map?
I mean aside from looking good, I wonder if there's any formula or theory to a good map layout, above just having lots of empty rooms :v:

I hadn't planned on keeping that tree model unless I expanded the pavement, they were used as a placeholder really.
This new tree I found seems more appropriate.

Agreed. I need to work on the realism before this gets out of hand :v:
I think I'll only use the refract shader for water in my maps for now on

It looks good and doesn't have an impact on performance... For me, at least.
Since all Portal 2 does is crash for me, (No, I'm not in the beta) I spent the past few days mapping for the original Portal. Since Alive and Kicking was about bringing Portal maps into Portal 2, I did the same deal with this.
I just did it for fun, and I wanted to map for the original game for a while. Goal was to keep it as Portal 1 themed as possible, so no it's not 1:1 comparable.

I need to optimize Dual Lasers and Laser vs. Turret a bit more. I have really bad lag spots.

Red is fine, white lines need to get toned down a bit, they really doesn't fit road in that state. I did something similar while back

I was going to ask you back then, what textures are you using in that? Specifically, the markers in the middle of the intersection. Someone linked you to a collection with some road arrows but that link is long-dead.

As a general room of thumb: if textures look awful in their native engine, don't bother trying to use them in another one. Fallout 3 textures are pretty god awful. I've had a lot of experience with them, and, eurgh.
