Random texture I made a while ago that I just happen to find laying around. Do what ever you want with them. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ONcDXBF.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MkyI9c0.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=grabbin pills?;45265387]can not comprehend reflections[/QUOTE] isn't this possible with just cubemaps?

[QUOTE=Magman77;45268815]isn't this possible with just cubemaps?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately no, Their reflections would never be this clear, and the alignment of the reflections would be off unless your standing directly in the same spot as the cube map.

[QUOTE=grabbin pills?;45268886]Unfortunately no, Their reflections would never be this clear, and the alignment of the reflections would be off unless your standing directly in the same spot as the cube map.[/QUOTE] Or if you use a lot. Like, a lot.

[QUOTE=Hottea102;45268968]Or if you use a lot. Like, a lot.[/QUOTE] Except VBSP ties each surface to a single cubemap at compile time, so you'd still be out of luck there without custom shaders. I'm guessing it might be just a lot of extra geometry, from a side view: [img]http://i.imgur.com/l6hM7Cj.png[/img] Blue lines = partial transparency Red lines = floor Dotted lines = extra "reflection" geometry

[QUOTE=grabbin pills?;45268499] I think I figured it out. Because a reflective surface in source engine will render another reflective surface as a flat black surface, I think what he did was put reflective surfaces behind semi-transparent textures. That way, the reflective surface wont reflect the other reflective surfaces, but the transparent texture in front of them.[/QUOTE] I also noticed that all of the walls and floors look to overlaps slightly by one unit, as if they are transparent. EDIT: Why are we still talking about this? I give up (Plus we are wasting space)

Working on blue base on ctf-lavagiant. The lighting is a pain in the arse and having to use 20 cores to compile the map across 5 machines is annoying. [thumb]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/577900900707731677/C120583F14A60644CB7726033E2B5BC092EF7EEC/[/thumb]

You can probably just derive anything else you might want from the diffuse, it's defined well enough to do so.

[QUOTE=glitchvid;45270847]Only diffuse? Also, you should provide PNG or another lossless format.[/QUOTE] I found the image back on my facebook profile ( It was there for some reason ). I lost everything else releated to it. I guess Facebook converted it into jpeg [QUOTE=SirLemon;45271340]Was that made for Portal 2? Cause it looks like it was[/QUOTE] Yup I originally made them for a 128x - 512x Portal theme texture pack for Minecraft. It is basically one of the original truss texture, I simply make that every 4 sides are the same instead of only having the top one. I only found the lower definition :3 [t]http://imageshack.com/a/img689/1956/terrainop.png[/t] Here if you can't see [url]http://imageshack.com/a/img689/1956/terrainop.png[/url]

Final and last version of the first map in my l4d2 campaign can be tested here. I hope no one can find any glitches or errors with this, it takes 20 minutes to compile this map lol. Not sure if I want to add a survivor intro, looks like to much work and I have no Idea how it would look :l [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2xqEPSI2VwWUWNjWExqcFNIbjg/edit?usp=sharing[/url] EDIT: Curse my perfectionism, I am adding a intro sequence now =_=

so the FP skype group asked for a map, and i'm doing some progress [t]http://puu.sh/9WBQS/ed6f87c50e.png[/t] [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652089320/7B3BD8E6D4FE1091C2485F5CDA9A30C86343AC1F/[/t][t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652093299/6E69932601DCC8CD50D7F2DEB2D4E211CF9CF996/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652095895/28D9A587719FEAD86876ABB987510267C1FEF026/[/t] [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652098989/B0B906DB477D81D4B16C455C3F520B429CF566A3/[/t] [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652101758/3162C9AC36074A86CE8FD9CB0521F6AE69B901B1/[/t] [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652104422/5A1BCDA3DE274FFEA70EFA0B8FD67170254B03DD/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652107265/8AD7934541A70CA09941E0AA70A9ADE301C84E61/[/t] [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652109853/C30D75B497DA2D31CACC8D534F3ED20AED25EFF9/[/t] [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/47602044652113246/E415AC52FA685F851DE5F4B813E4A4BBA8B6D9B7/[/t]

[QUOTE=Kahgarak;45292964]I see a texture seam in the lava, on the left. Aside from that, brilliant work!![/QUOTE] It's where the skybox meets the world. I can't really fix the problem because the texture scale in the world vs the skybox is different. You really don't notice it when you're walking around unless you go out of your way.

You really don't notice it when you're walking around unless you go out of your way.[/QUOTE] That's really easy to fix, though. Just take the scale of the texture in the playable space, divide it by 16 (or whatever your skybox scale is), and apply that to the texture in the 3D skybox. 0.25 becomes 0.015625, for example, and fits seamlessly if you line up the 3D skybox geometry right.

Or set the sky_camera's scale to 25 instead of 16 (I've never tried this though).

[vid]http://s.gvid.me/uw/s/2014/04/l4d2plrclip.mp4[/vid] Also, the nav mesh needs quite a bit of work, I'd suggest redoing parts by hand, since with the proper binds it's super easy.

(not sure if this would technically be the right place to ask this but ) Do any of you stream making maps? I think it would be really cool to see behind the scenes of the maps you make and how everyone's map process works. It would kind of be a good way for new people to learn as well. Well, the time we've had together was real, time to go back into lurk mode.

Personally, I prefer seeing neat tricks in maps and trying to figure out how it's done rather than seeing the source and knowing instantly. Makes the map more interesting to me, I guess.

Many of those pipes in that hallway are for survivors to hide behind if a charger is running down it, though I will probably fix the stairs because that is not intentional. I tried to make as little external lights on as possible to make it look like there is no power in most places (or something like that). It can be re downloaded again with the changes with the same link, but I got some minor things I need to change still.
