Me and my brothers got kinda bored of playing electriconslaught_b15 all the time, so I turned this map into an onslaught map! It includes: [list] [*]A small, old, headcrab canister'd shack [*]A city in the distance with its own citadel (brushbased, wasn't a model small enough for the skybox. I'm impressed with how it came out) [*]A mountain range inspired by a VMF I came across in the beta, and they also use textures from the beta! :v: [*]3 entrances to a large underground expanse, one measured to the size of a large SBMP lift piece and 2 to the small lift pieces [*]Some mounted guns with the ability to be raised up and down [*]Mines, and minelayers [*][REMOVED] - [b]Day-night cycles![/b] (Well, it doesn't really go to night but it does get dimmer :v: ) ([url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=298007]Go here for more details[/url]) [/list] I took these pictures while me and my brothers were having a game, so please note that the large SBMP building is not actually in the map!

[IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v10005.jpg[/IMG] The mine and the minelayer (Pressing use on the top of the mine makes it count to 3, and on 4 the spikes come out slightly. If you get too close, it will charge up and detonate violently) [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v10006.jpg[/IMG] Also, sorry about the mild HDR rape, I like glowing stuff. :P If you don't like it, turn on bloom and set darken to full! I have a few more things to do before I actually release it, but you might as well expect it relatively soon.

Awsome!

Looks really nice. The HDR is just fine because it fills in the right mood for the map and environment.

You should make more displacements for the ground though, and the headcrab cannister'd building should have some more debris than just the wooden splinters. Also, add more props for detail. :)

Alrighty, cheers :p

Very nice work. I will download it as soon as you release it. :D

purdy cool. How'd you get the day/night cycle? the download is broked

[QUOTE=laptopman;16447572]purdy cool. How'd you get the day/night cycle? the download is broked[/QUOTE] The day/night cycle is basically just an overlay over the sky in the skybox that changes colour/opacity as the 'day' progresses, and it also affects any env_suns on the map and the light_environment. Hm, I wonder if there is a new link for the script :o

Thats pretty cool, We need more onslaught maps. Do different npcs come out when it's dark?

Nice work although I only found out what an 'ons' map was from the poster above! (at the current time Apollo441).

Looks great so far.

[QUOTE=Apollo441;16451208]Thats pretty cool, We need more onslaught maps. Do different npcs come out when it's dark?[/QUOTE] I was trying to get it so that zombies come at night, but it didn't really work. I think there is a way I could do it, but I'm still not too sure. :P Also, since it is pretty much pitch black down in the cavern, I'm gonna add a little switch on the control panel that brightens it up to help with building, or just to keep it lag free without all the light sources!

Reminds me of this thing I once made in Photoshop. It has a walled citadel + city also! :D [img]http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc227/sermy555/trin.png[/img]

Oh wow, that is awesome :D Also, I've added an easter egg and a half to the map :P

Looking nice, get some night pictures please.

[QUOTE=Freakie;16455710]Looking nice, get some night pictures please.[/QUOTE] The day-night cycle was causing problems with my cubemaps, so I've had to remove them, so there won't be a night time (Unless I make a separate map for night :P). Sorry!

this is awesome

If you made any process on the map, please show us? :D <3

how did you make the the Ground Bumpy Soft, mines come out Abit Sharpe :(

[QUOTE=Chili Banan;16502069]If you made any process on the map, please show us? :D <3[/QUOTE] I've not made too many visual changes apart from adding a sun and doing some shadowy stuff. :P How does this look? [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10000.jpg[/IMG] PS: It only gets that bright when you look towards it :P [b]FUN EDIT[/b]: Look at what I'm up against when I'm trying to map! :v: [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/26-06-09_1412.jpg[/IMG] Yes, that is my mouse under her paw X.X

Daaaaaaw :3 Kitty kat. /me shakes off the spell of the cat. Anyway, map looks good. I like the use of the achievement icons as buttons!

Cute kitty :3. :3:

great map :D wish i could do something like that

Thanks guys :D Also I think this compile should be the last one unless.. I dunno. :v: Might release it in the next few days!

lol@kat Any who, HDR looks rather orgasmic. This map is coming along nicely. I, too, have a G15.

Okay, one last beta test will be tonight with my brothers and then it shall be released (If no more bugs are discovered :P) [ADDED] Custom brush-based wall pieces! [ADDED] Two shields! (One is rectangular, one is designed to protect the player holding it) [ADDED] More decoration to the hut [IMPROVED] The advisor pod crashsite now looks like it smashed into the ground, instead of being placed on it Todo (Can't be bothered to open notepad): - Reduce the amount of zombies that spawn - Fix the antlion spawns - Add antlion workers - Reduce the amount of combine that spawn - Fix the lag coming from the house More piccies! :D [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10006.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10006-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10007.jpg[/IMG] The 2 new buttons in the bottom left next to the light create little shields, one designed for holding as a player and one that is just rectangular, which can protect you from a great deal, including a rocket (or at least, when we tested them :P) [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10009.jpg[/IMG] The custom, brush based walls! (External corners have lights on them!) [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10011.jpg[/IMG] An example of using the full-body shield by welding it to a turret! [IMG]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t319/FirePawX/ons_wastelands_v1-10012.jpg[/IMG] Another example on my minitank to prevent combine from assraping me! :v:

Looks pretty damn good, actually. Like stated in a few posts above, the HDR really adds to the whole... "Wasteland-feel".. Keep kickin'!

In the beta test, it was quite laggy from the sheer amount of npcs in the map. Every so often we would have to get a stack of about 5 sticks of TNT to clear out the map! Then we nuked it and my graphics card had artifacts :P

that cat pic is hilarious,looks like mah old cat.
