Not to disappoint you or anything, but it doesn't look that good.

[QUOTE=Voice;16514635]Not to disappoint you or anything, but it doesn't look that good.[/QUOTE] If you give me 5 mins i get more photos

Ok, 5 mins.

More pictures won't help. Right now you are not producing a quality map. It needs more than custom textures and models to make it a good map. You need to start spending time on it.

There appear to be extreme lighting errors in your map sir.

[QUOTE=Voice;16514675]Ok, 5 mins.[/QUOTE] There Voice.

Unfortunately, there is no vast improvement, perhaps with time it will get better, "Time will tell"

If it's been fixed, why haven't you given us up to date screenshots? Lighting is an integral part of the map, and from what you are showing us right now, it looks absoultely dire.

The new screens are in the first post...from hammer. Big tip- don't show images unless the areas are perfect.

[QUOTE=RossConn;16514884]Ok .. Ive Sent You A Private Message Please Read It ....[/QUOTE] Why send a private message then proclaim in public you have sent it, either make it private, or make it public, not somewhere inbetween.

[QUOTE=RossConn;16514912]i was only telling him i sent it ok voice[/QUOTE] There is no need to tell him, he gets told.

[QUOTE=Voice;16514924]There is no need to tell him, he gets told.[/QUOTE] im new to this i dont know that |-)

[QUOTE=RossConn;16514952]im new to this[/QUOTE] Well obviously, you seem to think it's acceptable to post pictures of a, well, terrible map and think we will like it.

Yeh...when a pm is sent i get a dialog box telling me. I'm more likely to see the pm before i read the thread

LOL 3 months on this!?!?

Yes, and he seems to need 3 or 4 more, he is fail.

It looks like you are using multiple light_spot entities as a sun.

[QUOTE=Sandeno-2;16517241]It looks like you are using multiple light_spot entities as a sun.[/QUOTE] He doesn't know how to make lights work obviously.

Thank you for brightening up my morning. But I have to say, this has so many repeating textures and lighting errors it's not even funny.

Please, don't call it "elite"

What is it with people and their "first map"?

[QUOTE=makatut;16528182]What is it with people and their "first map"?[/QUOTE] The majority of everyone's first map is absolute shit. Or at least a little shitty. Anyway, instead of sharing your first map with others, make a few other practice maps to get the hang of it. Practice with the SDK (lighting, optimizing, brushes, etc). 3kliksphilip Look him up on youtube. Tutorials up the ass. READ NAO

His tutorials preach horrible ways of doing somethings, I recommend a flick through the mapping section encyclopedia (linked in te section sticky) it has lists of tutorial sites which are accurate.

Eh, he's alright. I learned quite a bit from him, even though I don't do things how he does. Metallics is right, go to the encyclopedia on the mapping section.

The only times I have used a YouTube tutorial was to see how some guy made this fancy logic thing in a Portal map. Didn't explain it well at all. Wikis are the way forward. Oh and Interlopers and such...

Are you serious, [b]3 months[/b]?! It doesn't look good.
