[QUOTE=Timenova;26290440]I can't. :frown: I'm no good with 'real' environments. Unless you wanted some underground Combine facility, then no can do.
Combine buildings are the only things I seem to have the hang of.[/QUOTE]
Because they're blocky..

Joking dude! You're a decent mapper :love:
[editline]25th November 2010[/editline]
Just saw a zing opportunity :v:
Someone team up with me? I'm sad , lonely , and cannot make a decent detailed map all by myself
:sigh: Anything for a quiet life.
Entering with Zone 6. Don't expect much, only been working on it for a week.

I hope you are happy now, Sphinxa. :wink:
And yes, Zone 6 is underground.
well since remaking a map from a different engine is not prohibited here I'll post my pokernight at the inventory pictures. Had to do this all from the intro vid. Its still a work in progress (like that wasnt obvious).

Most orange blocks are placeholders for models.
So web of trust count me in as well.
Timenova and Bioresearch, I do not recall either of you asking to enter first...
[editline]25th November 2010[/editline]
This is a problem because content created before entering is not allowed, and even if it is for the contest which usually adds exception, it is too easy to cheat through with this and too difficult to moderate. I will add both of you though.

Changed my mind, decided to enter with a map I started recently thats underground anyway. Unless that's against the rules, in which case I shall start a new one. :smile:
Sorry, but it is against the rules
[QUOTE=WebOfTrust;26292453]Sorry, but it is against the rules[/QUOTE]
Okay, I will start again with a new map. :buddy:

well the game was released after the contest started so I think that is a solid alibi. Not that I would win anyway.
And I hardly have any content.
I don't think I'll be able to compete in this. I have no ideas. Every time I start working on a map, I'll get like one room done and I'll just be brain dead again.

Then make that one room so amazing you don't need any others!

I used to run into the problem all too frequently until I started drawing out some general floor plans/the outline of the map. It may seem kind of ridiculous to literally draw out your map at first, but trust me, it helps SO much.

^^ true dat
building a separate map of the underground areas then later on after the contest I'm adding it to the star_pass map as the mining area.
two maps become one kinda thing if the source will allow it. if not then star_pass will have a smaller underground area that planned

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;26290842]Someone team up with me? I'm sad , lonely , and cannot make a decent detailed map all by myself[/QUOTE]
I usually work solo but underground is new territory for me in a sense. its not all that hard but the detailing and lighting can be tricky to make it look half ass decent. also source has a limit on planes and making tunnels that curve and displace are murder on this limit.
Ooh, so that's your friend request Zapding? Sorry, I tend to get a lot of random invites because I made some TF2 map a long time ago. Plus, random trade requests and shit. Anyway, I accepted it.
Also, Zapding, Sphinxa, seriously, Skype this week's sunday, and/or friday evening. We need to discuss stuff and such. :buddy:
PM if you can't make it for any reason. Firegod is partially right, we should keep team discussions short.

Good idea, I may have to try that in the morning.

Whoops I had you friend-ed then accidentally removed because I assumed you were one of the Shift mod devs that kicked off the team. Mind re-adding?

Sure. :buddy:
Just made a little video to show the little elevator thing I've been working on, since I can't do anything else because my two companions are never on at the same time, so we can have a meeting :frown:. It, and the shaft it rides in, need a LOT more detailing, but it's coming together fairly nicely. It also needs two large winches up at the top of the shaft, since the cogs are there only to guide it down straight. (Or else they'd have to have a motor on the elevator.)
Finalizing and uploading it now, I'll post it soon.

Come on Sphinxa. I'm not that good of a mapper. I mean, I know my way around Hammer and such, but that doesn't mean that everything I make is great.

Well, I just re-re-re-recorded the video, and have it set into various compressions and containers, to see which one Youtube will finally accept.

oh cool , that's fine.
it's a bit too slow though
It's supposed to be slow. It'll give a good look inside the shafts I'm connecting it to.

The corrugated metal looks weird; it should have some kind of trim on top and it sounds like an electric door when the whatsit slides up at the end.
Is it ok if I drop the inventory idea? I have a lovely idea for an alternative underground map.
You can release whatever, you don't have to stick with an idea.
