The ~Official~ Facepunch Map Pimpage/WIP Thread V15 - Developers

My server is having a huge bottleneck now, because of the map not being updated. Looks like i have to go back to mapping after all :suicide: So how do i get better? I've been using the same techniques since 2006 and i haven't learned anything new. I can't be doing with this.

Been working on this map for a build server for about 3 days now.

Week 2 update. Finished: -Touched up bad geometry that was causing odd smoothing on roof -Fixed base slope--was way too narrow -Skybox + lighting complete (CLOUDS!) -Added decals (resized them after these screenshots uploaded, they're too small here oops) -Added lights [t]http://puu.sh/c2FBs.png[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/c2FJZ.png[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/c2FSe.png[/t] To do: -More than I can count. Smoothing groups, fixing exterior geometry, finalizing textures and specular masks, map displacements, minor scenery and teleporters, finalizing interior geometry, etc. Unfortunately I just started classes and until I can get my laptop fixed I'm limited in the amount of stuff I can do from home. Hopefully that won't slow my work too much. edit: lol now that I made weekly my report I'm seeing so many new problems, fuck

Jesus that genuinely brings back memories.. back in the day I used xFire. I played the PC version of Halo on a old celeron laptop with just 1 GB of RAM and a graphics accelerator.

Why don't games have curved views like that in 2D? I don't have a rift on my head but I still feel the 3D.

Maybe an in-ground catwalk. They layout reminds me heavily of the FY_PoolParty_(x) maps and they manage to be great even with huge amounts of players.

Maybe add some more details, make rooms slightly higher and use the extra detail in that height. Some windows with geometry etc.

Just compared to the actual thing, and it looks really really nice. Needs more overall glow from the building and windows, but it looks really nice in its work in progress state.

Work in progress shots from testchamber 17 from Portal 1 which I'm recreating in overgrown.
