Hi every one I just wanted t tell you I made a map called Gm_Gun_Range. Download it here: [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=76869[/url] and tell me what you think! (it this is in the wrong section please move it not ban me) [url]http://spowell.org/viewGalImg.php?filePath=comics/332296421.jpg[/url] [url]http://spowell.org/viewGalImg.php?filePath=comics/1586901534.jpg[/url] [url]http://spowell.org/viewGalImg.php?filePath=comics/1591902657.jpg[/url]
No pics no clicks.
What NotMeh said, I won't bother to look at a person's first map, especially if there are no pictures. Without even downloading the map, I can just tell that this map is fullbright, blocky, and lacks detail in the form of brush based details and props.
I will suffer the blocky textures and bad lighting to give proper feedback! :v:
fine I will get pics
lol man bad lighting and a sleeping guy the block is too tall and you have a useless room
ya... I skrewed up but I will fix in the next version... thank you for telling me though.
Terrible lighting, way too blocky, bad grid size, stupid prop placement, and poor texture usage.

I know... but can some one help? oh and first time using hammer is an excuse =) (probably not but it is... I don't know how to make sky boxes so my rooms are allways dark.)

Next time, don't just upload and ask for feedback, play it your self and ask "if i was testing this for someone else, what would i think?" and "if i saw this map in a source game, would i be satisfied?".
Bleugh. Two words that can be used to say how good a map is. One is Bleugh (bad) and the other is ooh (good). This maps first word is Bleugh. Too dark, blocky, looks nothing like a gun range (and i have seen a few in my time).

thank you hl2 I needed to know that... I was using the light envioroment entity
[QUOTE=Purple stuph;16858551]thank you hl2 I needed to know that... I was using the light envioroment entity[/QUOTE] light_environment really should only be used on the outside when you have a skybox.
Use "light" entity indoors and "light_environment" outdoors.
Blocky, first pic clearly has a light right near the wall, with no visible light source. The other pictures are too dark to even see what's going on. Needs a lot of work. I don't see where a "gun range" fits into this map. Never ever release your first/second/third/fourth/fifth map, unless you're absolutely sure it's beautiful.
NEVER, EVER, release your first map! Don't even bother showing us! Build your skills and post your map only if it's good and you've got something to show us. Saying "this is my first map" is not an excuse for showing us crap!

I'm just trying to save him from being associated with bad mapping.
you dont have to be rude though, tell him whats wrong and be done with it.
I am a new Mapper... I did not release my first map and I admit My first map was kinda blocky but i actually had lighting. Now my maps are wayyyyy better. I am working on a map now for Dark RP it is going well. I made a demo of it (I deleted it , it was a limited time one) and people rated it 4.5 stars. EDIT: The Pictures reviel a complete "NO!" for downloading. I would never download a map with a building with grass as ground. The Floor, Blocky, Lighting, are main reasons for not downloading
Why release this?
Because it's his first map :)
Wow, that was a terrible map. My first map is a Jailbreak map for css, and it looks a lot better then yours. Learn to displace,cubemap,light and map.
Learn2source?
