Holiday Maps V2 - Developers

Bugs Fixed: [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=121304][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=121304[/img][/url] Old Version: [URL="http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=120786"][IMG]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=120786[/IMG][/URL] This map pack is a collection of 3 maps relating to a holiday. There are 2 pool maps, a day version, and a night version. The night version features nice lighting and lit up pools. And also a map of an apartment I stayed at. All 3 maps have IN BUILT LEVEL CHANGE links to the other 2 maps. ============================ gm_pool & gm_pool_night: 2 maps (day&night) with 3 pools, a cafe with a working vending machine; 3 prop spawners (a boat, a rubber ring and a whale); A lift with a platform and a diving board. Main Features: -3 pools -Inbuilt level change links -Rain & snow (toggle) -Map flood button (can undo) -Cafe with opening shutter, lights, tables, chairs and a soda dipsenser by the side -Diving board -Prop spawner & destroyer ============================ gm_tenerife_apartment: A map modelled on a real apartment I stayed in a few years ago, it was made from memory when I was new at mapping and so isn't the most brilliant map. There are images included to compare. It also includes a teleport to a large (ish) flatgrass area with water as the map is so small. You can also access the 2 pool maps via in built links. ============================ Please bare in mind this map pack is still beta. *NOTE* This map won't be the best you've seen, but I'm not a great mapper and its just another step on the ladder to becoming better, so I will ignore any trolls but I will happily take critisism if its CONSTRUCTIVE and NOT INSULTING.

Can you put some screenshots in the OP, it's a bit tricky trying to browse a slow as hell sight and do work at the same time :v:?

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;29591575]Can you put some screenshots in the OP, it's a bit tricky trying to browse a slow as hell sight and do work at the same time :v:?[/QUOTE] Wouldn't work before, got it working now :)

There we go, it's better than most first maps to be honest, it's a little blocky here and there but you should break up the blockiness using props on the walls etc etc.

It's weird to see snow falling from the sky, and then there's none on the ground.

Good point, what I'll have to do in future is make a func brush of snow and then spawn it and kill it, trouble is I wanted to get this map done. Anyway cheers for the comment!

Can anyone give me their opinion? I'd be very grateful as I do need to learn to map better. Thanks.

My opinion is that it's a nice little idea for weather maps, but all I can say is that the maps do not feel "complete" like they are designed but they need to be populated with a little more attention and detail to parts of the map that feel empty.

Thanks, the maps I'm making now are just ideas and concepts as my skills are far from complete, but I will bear that in mind when making maps in future, just populate the maps with props, decals etc. in the empty spaces.

No problem.

Work on your lighting, use light_spots

[QUOTE=Ronan Dex;29709793]Work on your lighting, use light_spots[/QUOTE] I do, in both pool maps in the tower to enable weather and flood, there is a spotlight and also the lamp posts at night use a light_spot and also a point_spotlight for the light cone effect.

No problem.

Those office chairs look very out of place to me.

[QUOTE=Timenova;29738534]Those office chairs look very out of place to me.[/QUOTE] Yep but unfortunately its the only model I can get working at the moment as I've been having some problems with game caches.... I need to delete all my stuff and re-download them....
