Listed as a WIP but not really in that much progress, this is rp_city_14. I guess it's more of a suburb than a city, just needs some taller buildings I think. I'm finding it hard to work on this map, not sure why, but it's just really slow. The buildings that have full interiors so far are the orange and the blue apartment buildings in the middle, about 29 rooms i think in total. part of the warehouses also has the interior done. The combine nexus does not have a floor layout yet, but I have made the 3 floors and some staircases so far. Anyway here's how it looks so far, I think in the tradition of the HL2 city maps, I will change it to a night version if I ever get it finished. The players could start in the trainstation (not finished yet either) [img]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/TA8-18/train3.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/TA8-18/city143-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/TA8-18/city142-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/TA8-18/city141.jpg[/IMG] Help appreciated
Why are the streetlights on during the day? Other than that, nice start, train station is a little bare though.
[QUOTE=Spycrabz;32301098]Why are the streetlights on during the day? Other than that, nice start, train station is a little bare though.[/QUOTE] Ugh..i guess I should have put 'WIP' in the actual name too. The streetlights are on because I made a zombie survival version at night and haven't been bothered to delete the lights yet. In my first post it says in brackets that the trainstation is not finished.
You say help appreciated, then when someone offers help you reject their criticisms because it's WIP...

[QUOTE=NotExactly;32302286]You say help appreciated, then when someone offers help you reject their criticisms because it's WIP...[/QUOTE] Telling me that the trainstation is a bit bare after I said in the first post that the trainstation isn't finished, is possibly the worst criticism I've ever heard. I know how to detail a fucking map jesus, I mean help as in ideas, which I am kind of running out of with this map.

this map looks quite badly optimized
Yes I'm not great at optimising
Get some guttering on those buildings, as well as some ledges. They look bland and flat. That park needs some displacements in it, at least I think so, I don't ever like a flat park. Nothing too much, just a small hill or two. Turn the streetlights off, as mentioned above. Make the buildings different heights, it doesn't look right to me with everything being the same height. As for inside the train station, get some details on those being walls, as well as adding some lighting effects to give it a nice realistic feel to it. See those lines at the bottom of the wall texture? Bring that out a bit so it looks like you have a bit of a ledge going to give the room a extra bit of detail, and the wall texture at the top of the room does not fit with the bottom wall either, it's like you have some sort of slime or whatever slowly creeping down the wall and then it just suddenly stops and the wall is clean.

Not being hostile towards you, just critical.
