It now takes a couple of minutes to open my map because of all the instances, best thing ever! [QUOTE=oskutin;44693446]Also the ground floor could have shops instead of apartments.

Concrete!

I live in one above an asian nail salon and they don't really fuck with me, even if furniture fell over or the toilet gets clogged.

Should i make tenement/apartment tutorial :v:?

I didn't think about ent data at the time. Thanks for reminding me.

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;44696430]Most apartments already have them v:v:v cl_showents goes up to 1200 Players can't spawn props via spawn menu.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but what about when someone else uses your map for their server? Using a gamemode that does allow you to spawn props. If you have too many map entities, it's going to restrict them by a lot.

Looking good giraffen but needs some more detail on the roof and maybe a diffrent accent texture. Also 2k Monitors aren't rare, infact I have a 30" (2560x1600)

After a long time trying to get this working, I finally was able to make fully working custom flowmaps. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy3cbzXIzW4[/media] It's in Valve P2 map, but that's because I was focusing on the flowmap, not making a level. I wrote up the process for making it here: [url]http://glitchvid.com/?p=333[/url]

It's kind of hard to tell what's going on partially because there's so much happening, and because the camera wasn't fixed in one place long enough to see the full effect. I know what flowmaps do, mind you, but could you take another video with a simple layout utilizing flowmaps with a water-body obstruction to clearly visualize it? By a simple layout, I mean something like this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/pd0XbKw.png[/t] I'm just curious to see it in p2, it might convince me to dedicate 100% to mapping with it's engine.

Big thanks for showing this tutorial, It will help me out working on my level design. On an other note, ( I haven't read it all yet ) Can we make great current of flow? plus a scrolling animation or something? that would looks quite awesome for waterfall or flooding a part of the map for instance.

The tool I used gives a lot of freedom to slow water flow down, speed it up, etc; so it's certainly doable.

Thanks, it's much more discernible now. I guess I'm reinstalling Portal 2, because I keep seeing things done in it's engine that look way better than my best attempts with Half-Life 2.

Would you mind posting a screenshot from standing height to get a sense of scale? [editline]2nd May 2014[/editline] Or is that a skybox?

[vid]http://a.pomf.se/ilunrq.webm[/vid] Most of the terrain is going to be 3D skybox since in the map you're not supposed to go there, instead you will see it only from a cable car
