Looks a little bit blocky. The texturing is alright, but make it less blocky.
Editing now

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;20213901]Very very small. Lacks space and features.[/QUOTE]
Like i said, it's not done so just wait. It still needs a lake too.
Can i ask- what is the point of making such a small rp map?
I was planning on making a small rp map but i could change that if it really bothers you
[QUOTE=PandaKiwi;20214060]I was planning on making a small rp map but i could change that if it really bothers you[/QUOTE]
Well...it seems pointless to make and release a rp map as small as that. I could throw plectrums further than the distance across your map.
Did you not READ what i typed? it is not done! that picture is not going to be the whole map, it is just what i have done.
[QUOTE=sam6420;20214323]A small map would be better for passive RP, obviously the people commenting are all DarkRPers who enjoy shooting anybody in a 5 mile radius...[/QUOTE]
Exactly my point!
i think i just found a map name, thanks sam6420 ^^

Did you?
You said you were making a small RP map.
[QUOTE=~ZOMG;20215257]Did you?

And i AM making a small rp map. i just said i could make it bigger if people like you keep bitching about it.
I always feel bad when I see a map like this. It's obviously by a very inexperienced mapper who doesn't know what he's getting himself into by releasing it on facepunch. Then the more experienced mappers give very valid criticism, which is almost always rejected by the author or at least makes him defensive. There's usually someone, or even multiple people, who are inexperienced like the author and try to defend him (sam6420 in this case). In the end it usually discourages the author because he thought what he had to show was going to be received better and someone ends up looking like a jackass.
I just thought I'd post my thoughts on the matter of WIPs that really don't have enough to show to warrant a thread. Sorry Panda, but you really should have put more time into this before putting it here. I understand you're still working on it, but we can't really be expected to praise this. Yet. I'm very open to the possibility of this becoming a great map, but at this point it's hard to tell and it's not looking so good.
As for CC, I think you need to establish a theme, then we can help more. I know you're going for a small, few player map, but what kind? Suburban? Industrial? What? AT this point its impossible to tell what you've done wrong because there's so little; it's all very blocky and bland, but you couldn't have worked on it for more than 30 minutes. And for next time, please post more than one picture and use

Thank you. That's what I thought too but I'm gonna wait to see his explanation.

well have you ever heard the phraze "Never judge a book by it's cover"? that is what he basically did. just because he does not like the work in the picture, he posts a bad comment.

No cover to this book, a map is a map and two skilled mappers have given you feedback you refuse to accept, because you are one of the hundreds of overly-confident thick new mappers that landed on Facepunch recently. Most of us went through that stage, try benefit from it however difficult it may be.
Whatever, and the reason it makes me mad is because skilled mappers should be willing to help people like I who are still learning bits of mapping. instead of posting rude comments how about helping me with lighting and skyboxes, i posted about it in another thread.
Panda, you are acting exactly how he said in his post. Fucking great, another user who refuses to take criticism.

Zally's right, you're just proving my point. And really? Judging a book by it's cover? I'm not convinced you even read my whole post. Here's a quote from it:

You need to learn to take constructive criticism better, and act on it. I was in the same boat as you once, but I like to think that I handled myself better.

well next time instead of posting like you did, give me advice if you really think we could make it a better map
i still need help with a big problem in the map where the ceilings are pitch black

You are quickly loosing any hope of becoming a decent mapper. You're didn't even read my post, and you're mad at me for it. Please know what you're talking about before posting in the future.
I am not losing hope for 1. and 2: i did read your post and 3: im just asking for help
1. "And" is not a response
2. Then start reflecting that in your posts
3. I gave you help, you refuse to accept it and, like I said you would in my first post, are being extremely defensive.
how about you just help me as in help me fix the map up so it does look nice?
Add a 3d skybox.
It also looks really empty and bland, give it some spice. More buildings with different functions and such.

O.K., Ill add an area that has some buildings and that also gives me a chance to add the road i wanted, thanks!
Fix it up? I'm afraid you'll have to make it first. This is no where near done. As for stuff to add, just buildings in general. Again, we need a them here to give good advice.
i said i would do all of those. anyway, ill fix it later. sorry about earlier too. but if you want to help me, i have a serious problem with lighting and the skybox. add me to steam friends and ill tell you what happens
