The ~Official~ Facepunch Map Pimpage/WIP Thread V15
10,763 replies, posted
Now, I'm not nearly as good of a mapper as most of the people in this thread, but I'd have to disagree with you. Yes, it's nice to see new, fresh textures. Yes, there have been thousands of awful maps made using the default textures. There are also many awful maps made with newer, custom textures.
As long as the textures are appropriate for the area, and the geometry, lighting, detailing are done well, you can still get a beautiful, quality map using default textures, IMO.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;40912299]on my end - i never learned modeling, and it feels like it's too late now.
there are a lot of custom textures however[/QUOTE]
it's never too late.
[QUOTE=Anthracite;40912918]it's never too late.[/QUOTE]
i'm probably gonna lose interest in this at some point, and learning it now would be a waste.
[QUOTE=CRASHFORT;40912258]I'm guessing most of you are mapping just for fun but seeing the same default textures and models over and over will never make a good map.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for letting us know!!!
Did my best on making this map look like storm was coming.
What do you think does it look like storm is coming?

So you started making trouble in our neighborhood?
Come on man, my mom's gonna get scared and send me to Bel Air or something if you keep doing this.

Lamarr can you tell me when HL3 is coming out? I mean you're working on Portal 3.

Get an env_wind in there, make the trees and plants sway along with the lights and other stuff.
Very atmospheric though.
Which SDK do you guys use? I want in on the mall map action but I can't tell whether to use the Portal 2 SDK, the Orangebox SDK, go buy CS:GO or what.

Garrysmod maps are most often made in the Episode 2 SDK.

The main Source SDK is broken for the most part due to Valve's infuriatingly slow conversion to SteamPipe, so the Portal 2 or Left 4 Dead SDKs are good to use.
Speaking of which, any idea on when Valve is going to finish the damn conversions? I've wanted to map for Episode Two for a while now, but I can't fix it because there's no beta tab under Properties.

Funny because while everybody's hammer broke. Mine did not.

Wow. I'm sorry about this but I just have gotten sick of people throwing vast quantities of custom content around their maps for what seems to be no reason other than bragging rights. "Oh, there's already a bench prop? Well let's make a new one anyway LOL!", and the result can sometimes look out of place, especially if their own style doesn't fit with default content and they mix it with default content. I'm not saying this is always the case, as many of the users I see here produce actually good custom content, but there are a few times I just see people post maps with custom content in where it seems like it was thrown in just to impress people.
If you want to use Mirror's Edge/Metro 2033 other game content, then I say fine because at least that is consistently good quality content. If you want trees that don't look like ass and have leaves on them fine. But there are some times where I think custom textures simply look ugly.
Sorry for the rant, this has just been bothering me for a long time
(FYI You can opt out of steampipe ep2 and it fixes the config and keeps vpks because steampipe conversion doesn't delete gcfs)

Yeah, how dare people experiment with their own styles, we should all be making City <insert number here> maps instead.

So we're getting complaints about not using enough custom content AND for using too much custom content in maps that probably won't ever be released? [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-geno.gif[/img]

When TF2 went officially to Steampipe (out of beta), it deleted the old GCF stuff for me. Maybe beta opts are different?
Yeah, this is why I did not opt into any beta. I want my stuff to work for as long as possible. And if everything goes public and things are is still not fixed, hopefully the Steampiping will not delete the main source engine gcfs so at least mods not mounted to HL2 can work.
I forgot, this is a mapping thread...

Not final at all. I was just making concepts.

Looks nice would change floor texture to a darker color perhaps. At the moment it doesn't seem to match the walls that well.

Honestly, looking at your map, it looks like you've already got every Citadel texture you might need :P

That looks amazing, except the sunlight seems way too orange for such a steep angle.
