I'm going to divulge some information on the mapping project i'm working on.
I didn't bother finishing any of the other maps that I have previously made.
However, I know i'll finish this one, and it will be even more grand than all of my unfinished works.
Anyways, be sure to bookmark this page if you want to keep track of my map's progress.

Images? Content?
Don't make a thread until you have images...it just wastes the space on the page.

Fixed it as much as I could. :doh:
That's as good as it can look without including images in the first post. Even that^ doesn't make it look semi-decent enough to download just to look at it. It sounds so similar to 80% of the maps already made.
[quote=yaaweehoo]max mapsize for flying[/quote]
Getting even NEAR the edges of the grid leads to errors, so that won't work.
Thanks heroic or Mr. Grammar man I kinda was workin on the map at the same time as this thread xD
Ill add the corrections, thanks
And Im not RIGHT near the edges its bout 1 whole orange block away from each edge so no problems :D
ill give a test compile soon.

Dont get what that could be

Its a multi terrain build map as it says
and if you just put "I dont get it... what is that supposed to be? "
People might not know what your on about but to be honest its kinda obvious what it is if it has SAND there and it SLOPES DOWN into a "lake" formation, so next time dont go shouting your big trap off and learn some manners ;)
[QUOTE=yaaweehoo;17004319]and learn some manners ;)[/QUOTE]
You're on facepunch, not on some sissy conference, get used to it.
That does not give a reason to shoot ones mouth off.
Any how lets not go off topic.

How about you learn some grammar?
We don't want to see hammer screenshots. In WIP threads you need to have at least one in game screenshot...or this really is just another wasted thread.
/care
Im new to the mapping side of things.
I personaly dont want your opinion on things to kindly keep your thoughts to your self.
As for the "And how about you learn some grammer", you too keep your thoughts to your self, kthnxbai

Tough...if you don't want our opinions, then don't post.
I dont want YOUR opinion and I dont want opinions on grammer because its not on topic
the topic is maps and not grammar.
Stick to it.

Well...like it or not (most new mappers don't) i will be making my opinion known. Bet your pleased about that.
But, as you are new i'll be nice. Put up some nice in game screenies, and i'll give you a completely unbiased opinion.
the thing is im trying to get a nice screenie but im getting leaks from an unkown position.
No point file nor portal file to use which I rely on most of the time ._.
And i'm assuming you have a skybox...

Displacements don't seal. That could be your problem.
I have a sky box Iv sealed the displacements with a nodraw box
still got leaks
I solved a few obvious open holes but still no dice. :(
[editline]11:15PM[/editline]
FIXED!
I added a water_lod_control manualy after decsovering hammer was unable to add one automaticly and vola!
Oh by the way for those who lack in the hl2 ep2 department I will make another version for hl2 but at the sacrifice of murky brown water :<
Or ill try and pick up a nice texture for ya'll
:p

Meh, as a official threadstalker, I have found that Phoenix is right about maps roughly 4/5 times, so I would respect his opinion, he is "teh uber mapping god"...

Add a rim around the center structure if you do anything... and make the glass thinner than the rim and than the other material in the center... So it's in the two sides, and it looks like it's set in, not a block.
It looks really bland to be honest. And that water is way too small to actually do anything with, so you may need to reassess that part.
The map is small, the displacements unfinished. I have no idea what the first, second and last picture represent. Looks like a blocky dock, a blocky hanger and a piece of phx glass. The displacements are nice, but down one side, it looks a bit angular, like you haven't finished it yet.
And the central bridge structure does look wrong.
The grass texture on the displacements isn't aligned with the rest of the grass.
