I'm in an argument with a guy who stole a HL2 Beta map and claimed it as his own (see below) [t]http://imageshack.com/a/img856/4166/radn.jpg[/t][t]http://imageshack.com/a/img546/3791/32wd.jpg[/t] Actual map: [video=youtube;f5FVcVct1TU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5FVcVct1TU[/video] [quote=Me]More importantly, the fact that you think you can just walk this off is unacceptable. It's perfectly fine to be a learning mapper, but one who steals and hides it with an ego? You're the worst of the worst Sally.[/quote] [quote=Me]The bottom line is that you're a liar, and a thief. There is nothing left to discuss.[/quote] [quote=Sally]Lying about what.[/quote] [quote=Me]You know, the fact that you pretended that you made an entire map?[/quote] [quote=Sally]You know, I never pretended. I can tell you every step I took to refurnish Eli den.[/quote] [quote=Me]You are a clouded and confused individual. You cannot show success when you hide yourself in shame.

You brought down a dude that could have been potentially labelled awesome, when he's just ripping off beta maps and just changing the lighting scheme

[QUOTE=Zanarias;41480934]and it feels like a prime area to throw pipes into for no reason.[/quote] Yeah I was planning to add more industrial equipments such as Air vent pipe etc. I forgot to precise, this map represent one of the main entrance to the testing subject's living area.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;41480938]Do you happen to have a link to that sexy water texture?[/QUOTE] All the textures were made by Horse Strangler. Including water, and skybox. After we release the map, he might release some of the textures.

Oh hey, Seananners played my older map [video=youtube;GHtPXUjMnH8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHtPXUjMnH8[/video]

[/QUOTE] [url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Advanced_Lighting#Shadow_creation[/url] You might want to try that for the railings and stuff, could make it look a bit nicer if they aren't casting shadows already

[QUOTE=pac0master;41481132]I am not experimented with advanced lighting. do you have any good ideas/tips to help me out so I can work to improve it? [/QUOTE] My main issue with your lighting is that it looks too lit up for the amount of lights you have and a lack of shadows. It just kind of looks plain. You have a lot neat architecture in there that could be used to cast some neat shadows. Try reducing the radius of your light entity to just light up the area near it and play around with a light_spot casting the rest of the light.

more tests with giant maps on hl1, screenshot from a 64000x64000 map which is bigger than source by twice if I'm correct?. [t]http://i.imgur.com/NsEyKX8.jpg[/t]

So, I am making my first map ever. It's very unfinished and definitely needs some work, but I like what I have so far. And then I see what others are making and wish I could do as good as them. Anyone know what I should add to it?

[QUOTE=The Pink Scotti;41489099]can i have a download?[/QUOTE] it'll be released on the sc forums once it's got some sort of gameplay. I've no idea what kind of gameplay I can put in there right now though.

If going with traditional maps, large open ones look very unappealing and are a sniper heaven, and a hell for everyone else [sp] except the spy, who is going to OD on happyness [/sp] And take TF2's default maps for building inspiration for their architecture, red has a more rough, wood based building type, while B.L.U. is made of 1960's futuristic architecture with lots of blocks and iron / steel.

[QUOTE=Sprockethead;41492422]I think it has a great mirrors edge style thing going. Id hate to see him ditch it.[/QUOTE] Yeah the plan was to get some more saturation in there. CS:GO is pretty brown and desaturated. Regardless, I'm still using some color correction for light desat, the colors were extremely vibrant before which ended up throwing off the midtones.
