[QUOTE=wazanator;45233914]There is an option for decompressing all your instances.[/QUOTE] doesn't seem very reliable, and since 90% on the map are instances i dunno about this

What did you use? Looks nifty, isn't it weird to use red bricks out of sudden after all white ones tho?

[QUOTE=Karthoum;45239905]Wait, what's what at the bottom of the pit? What did you use? Looks nifty, isn't it weird to use red bricks out of sudden after all white ones tho?[/QUOTE] Func_dustcloud Yeah it is pretty weird but at that point I was content enough with the art style to start the actual map and I didn't put much effort into the actual planning of that building.

[QUOTE=SirLemon;45239258]where?[/QUOTE] Look at all of the black blotches like in this picture on the ceiling and under the shelves: [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/777183914802810002/BF27C94F32E89AFE9C6E531333AD44EB9CB818B4/[/t] The solid black is because radiosity isn't calculating bounces and is only doing direct lighting from the light source because the map is leaked. [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/777183914802812668/620AE0D00EE295F68A6C7253EB7AAF173702C2BA/[/t] Is another example, the area between the two red lights is completely black because the lights aren't bouncing.

They also won't bounce if the light is named, that could be another cause

Darker materials usually bounce very little lighting, if any at all. To give the area some dark-ish ambient ceiling lighting, it's recommended to use a Light entity with Constant falloff under the Light_Spot.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/pkRlTnr.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/TFPnE2q.jpg[/t] managed to find the areaportal via tedious cordon bounds added more 3d skybox detail it's really bare without it, damn

Anyone who wants to try out my first map that I finished in l4d2 to my campaign can download it here: [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2xqEPSI2VwWUWNjWExqcFNIbjg/edit?usp=sharing[/url] Currently, it has some issues with versus (some infected ladders are broken) but overall its done. Sorry no screen shots, too busy =3= Feedback wound be appreciated!

[QUOTE=TFlippy;45241339]Darker materials usually bounce very little lighting, if any at all. To give the area some dark-ish ambient ceiling lighting, it's recommended to use a Light entity with Constant falloff under the Light_Spot.[/QUOTE] Those are stock HL2 concrete textures. I've used them enough to know they don't absorb 100% of the first radiosity bounce. Even completely black textures are going to bounce light, but since the color of the texture is black, the light color will be shifted towards being black.

Tried to take some compiled shots, but for some reason i can't take any screenshots in any game, so I guess here's a hammer shot. Not sure where to go with it so far: [img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a61/MGRX/modern_zps87ba8272.png[/img] based off of this photo [IMG]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a61/MGRX/luxury_contemporary_unique_modern_mansion_property_home_london_uk_england_million_pound_garden_furniture.jpg[/IMG]

Making a map that is supposed to be in an underground mine/complex type of style: [t]http://i.imgur.com/pF4UYKS.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/uHGAJ7N.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/b5WXMjg.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/n7H4qc5.jpg[/t] Thoughts on anything I should add or change? The map is a bit small at the moment so I'm looking for ideas on what I can add to it.

[video=youtube;AthohTc2ZlM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AthohTc2ZlM[/video] Point sampling is a life-saver.

Map I'd been working on for Double Action: Boogaloo. Hopefully someone is going to take this one over, because I'm a pleb. [t]http://i.imgur.com/9yh654t.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/fEaYJe1.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Rb6UC8a.jpg[/t]

So I've made a map for Interlopers competition: [url=http://i.imgur.com/JAbk1pw.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/JAbk1pwl.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://i.imgur.com/7MGlebV.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/7MGlebVl.jpg[/img][/url] If anyone is interested :) [url]http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=37742[/url]

[QUOTE=Exho;45245093]What textures did you use for the mine? I like them[/QUOTE] I used nature/blendrockdirt006a for the walls and ceilings of the mine, I used the paint alpha tool for the dirt floor. For the wooden beams I used cs_italy/pwood1

Unless you have some sort of growing sponge space rock mine going on.

The rest looks great. I'll get past the tunnel sometime later and check the rest out

It might just be me but I kind of wish there was an 'ideas thread' - I have loads of ideas but not the time to focus on any of them, let alone all of them, but some of them I think are too good to pass up. It'd also be a good place to store unfinished .vmfs and stuff for other people to carry on. Opinions?
