my new one isn't fullbright, and i've changed some of the textures and is noded.
Well, the concept is good. but it's fullbright.
Fullbright... always... ruin... a map.
Add some light and it will be much better.
And try to add some sort of detail an not just flat empty landscape.

Have you seen colonies, you don't want stuff geting in your way when you do that, and about full bright, dynamic shadows are off, so it looks simular to full bright.

Colonies? What getting in the way? :raise:
And no... This IS fullbight.
I think it's good that he kept it at an empty area so you can build your own area for your colony.
The question is, is it noded?
I put one node in each platform, is that enough.
the prefix co stands for colonies
-Blocky
-Undetailed
-Bad texturing
-Fullbright
Never release a map that is fullbright. Add a light_environment to the map. Also, use better textures and add more detail.
I'll try to make it not full bright, and more nodes
Seriously, why are there so many bad maps all of the sudden?

i'm a noob when it comes to things like that, I put a light enviroment in it, but must of fucked it up, anyway I'll agree with you but it is a garry's mod map and it doesn't NEED good texturing, just space to build, it's nice but not the top priority

Some people ACTUALLY realize that their map is bad and they should improve it.

my map isn't the best, but no need to flame, I realised it to see what people thought of it and to get advice, and i found it fun to do what i designed it for colonies

You can simply ask yourself those questions, is this map good enough? Is it detailed? Will people have fun with this?
Try putting some effort on your map
For example

Why do I see the stairs sticking out? That's because you didn't actually put effort in it.

Use this website and put some lights in your map.
It's easy to add light and it increases its quality by 100%. I wish people would realize that no-one wants their map and they need to improve it.
i do need to improve it, i admit it but please give good advice NOT followed by no one wan't your map, I like it, and this guy likes it
[QUOTE=Galion;14691170]Fuck yeah!!!!!! holy good map I have make a headcrap colony base(SAve) :)
and another save was Antlion Colony heehehehehe Good map
I hope can you make another one???[/QUOTE]
that makes me happy for now, improvements on the way, now i've decided this will be the beta.

As a first improvement you should simply add light.
After that make the map more detailed and beautiful. Pretty maps is always better than ugly map.

If that's the case, we don't need ANY other map than flatgrass?

I don't know about you, but if I want to build something I want to do it in a map that looks good.
this MapS is for colonies not for build!!!!!!!!!!!! if yu don't have colonies go Donwload [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=721509[/url] if you look for colony it will be awesome but it not for build!!!!!
Doc! Help! Im starting to see blocks again!
Nah, just teasing, though I dont see why effort is overlooked in maps anymore.

That mod doesn't add lights or detail to this map, so it doesn't make it any better.

ok i'll rephrase that, in garry's mod sandbox mode when you just want to build (or make a colony) you don't NEED good texturing, its very nice, and makes a map popular but for a noob like me it isn't the most important thing.
I am a hammer noob but i wanted a map for colonies, I made this and thought other colonies fans might like it, anyway, don't download it if you don't like it, give advise please, but no flaming or repeating advise (it's ok if you where ninja'd).
damn, I realised my lighting problem, I ran a previous version by mistake, that didn't have enviroment light.
OP should learn what Flaming is. Nothing in this thread was flaming so far, people were just saying that the map is bad (Which it is), that's nothing like flaming.

if i admit that the map isn't the best, and needs lighting, then i don't want it repeated all the time, once is enough
new one released

Well, now it has (very dull) lighting but it's still blocky and badly textured.
Lol you changed the lighting VERY barely then say it's a new version ? omg god man and YOU triple posted
lol, complain much? It's a nice idea but maybe not all that perfected, give the guy some fucking credit instead of just ultrabashing him? (and kingy, put it in the main mapping-section and name it [WIP] and you won't get hammered by complaints as much)
