So basically i got really bored and i started making a map to test my Skills in hammer because one day i hope to make a really nice Italy Themed Rp map :). So This is basically a thread that which you can comment and telling me what i can do to improve my Mapping :). Please leave Comments as it is really needed.
Also what else should i add? Feels real empty doesn't it?
Once I'm done with it i will release it with the name of Gm_Sdk and anyone new to mapping may look at it so they can learn from it and such .
So far i have made a little bunker house thing with an archway entrance with some breakable windows some cool looking lights and a ladder to the top. I made Some pretty water and i put a secret passageway which has Green embers coming out, this is my first time experimenting with embers so please leave some feedback if there is anything i can do to improve . The passageway has another passageway that makes you fall down a long tunnel with random bubbles and you hear alyx scream Oh god.. or maybe Oh OH OH OH OH OH OH GOD OH GOD if you noclipped back and forth like i did lol. when you stop falling you fall in a pit of water and you are in a new area. This will be used for what ever and that is why i am here so you can tell me what i can do to challenge my mapping skills and put them to the test because i really want to learn how to get better at mapping as i really suck..
One last thing Lighting :ohdear: i hate this part the most and i don't know if i did a good job with it, it is my first time using point_spotlights.
So on to the pictures then, using filesmelt it's great.
Inside the bunker house thing with my lighting and stuff.

Outside of the bunker, First time attempting to make things less blocky using clip tool near the archway.

Secret passageway thingy, with green embers pulling out toward the blue embers near the water.

Falling down the secret passage way! leading to a water pit that later will let you access some other cool stuff. ( you must help me, whats the cool stuff that's gonna be down there?

Inside the "secret room" Note: When you fall down the last bit will trigger a trigger_multiple causing Lights to open first at delay of 2 seconds then 6 then 10 which will have a sound that Sounds like Gym lights being turned on.

Please leave Constructive feedback and help me build on this, this will train my hammer skills and will also later help people who newly start mapping to make better maps off this example or.. at least a better perspective on better ways.
It seems that you understand hammer, I suggest taking it a step up and trying a project like the escape the room thread, which makes you really use the IO system.

The Escape the room thread right? Ill give it a go but I'm not to good with Puzzles :
I have a suggestion. Don't use grid size 1 no matter how good it looks at the time.

Thank you i have learned from a friend to use only from 8 and above but since i fucked up by using other grids i been using 4 too so they wouldn't overlay. Also where is the 1 grid walls? Also again, i am going to try out the escape room thing seems fun :) so this thread is kind of pointless now unless you wanna suggest anything on my mapping or if you want the sdk or bsp pm me.
Don't say that, I used 2 and 4 on this picture I made for another thread ([url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=849945[/url]) ;
