Gm_gun-testing-grounds

[daj34]

Ever wanted to test a powerful weapon, but you can't because there's no map with breackable things with lot's of health? SO THIS MAP IS FOR YOU!
Gm_gun-testing-grounds is a sandbox map where you can spawn giant blocks wich you can destroy.
At first, it was just a gcombat test area, but I changed it and now you can test from a pistol to a nuke!
As well, this is my first map. Better said: First released map.

Contains:
[list]·A big pool
·A small gun range
·A small parking
·A room where you can get ammo and health
·Different blocks:
[list]·A giant block with 250000 health
·A small block with 2500 health
·A Big crate with 1000 health (made for sweps)
·A room for spawn those blocks
·A pair of moving pyramids
·And maybe another one
·some trees as decoration[/list]
·And a building[/list]

Incredibly blocky, terrible lighting, crappy, repetitive textures.

[Lambda 217]

I like the idea and the lighting, but I think you could maybe add a bit more detail to the textures, like maybe adding a little bit of a different textured brush to the top of the buildings.
Also, maybe put a fence up round the outside so the map isn't floating in a void?

On to-do list!

The lighting doesn't seem all that bad. How do you put text over a button?

I used the entity point_message

[B_I_G__C_U_M]

Pretty bland. Overused textures, lazily done, int he screenshot flying houses WTF?! Good idea, but needs more work.

Look at the screenshots above, and you will see some texture changes.
Also, what do you mean by "flying houses"?

[LightningX151]

What are those flying cubes and triangles for?

[Pringles.]

Horrible.
its just blocky, and why is there floating shit in the sky? id like to see you put more effort into this map

why did you make it say ''sistim''?

[QUOTE=LightningX151;22564313]What are those flying cubes and triangles for?[/QUOTE]

For tarjet practique! You will not try to break the air, right? So you need something for break!

Floating thingies, destroy'em!
Sistim? It says sistem!

Incredibly blocky, bland, and useless. Never post your first map.

[daj34]

[QUOTE=MirageKnight;22574585]Incredibly blocky, bland, and useless. Never post your first map.[/QUOTE]

Blocky: Stop that, I never pay attention to detail, I pay it to gameplay.
Bland: Did you tested a SpaceBuild tank in a hilly area?
Useless: Even tried a weapon's power?
Never upload you first map: I don't care. Better or worse it's a map anyway.

1. The amount of detail can effect the gameplay of a map.
2. Layout of this map is shit.
3. Never upload your first map because it is total shit.
4 Map is useless for testing weapon.

To the first: Yeah, but deppending wich gameplay. You can play a map with a differen texture for each block, so you can see. Now, If you make all the textures the same you will not see, and if you add a lot of detail it needs a lot of time for compile!

To the third - I never care. It's my first map? NO
I already tested with another maps, and this is my best one

The four: I already had fun using gcombat here. Try it too.

[ZapDing]

why are there floating primitives?

[Merv]

Just take criticism OP.

Whilst gameplay is important, making a map look pretty increases the interest in a map.

well, you still spelled it wrong

[john41]

Personally, I hate seeing the default brick texture, anywhere, in any map. Those buttons are pretty ugly. I think you should just get a dynamic button prop for them – even the combinebutton model would be fine, just not bizarre orbs with the default texture.

Well, I can change the buttons so they look like the combine button

Edit: Actually I'm doing some test for adding a 3d skybox
