Loving the progress you guys are making with this, can't wait to see more. One thing I would like to suggest when you're working on improving the maps is skybox transitions. If there is one thing Cinematic mod got right is improving the way the maps look without modifying the gameplay (in most cases) Good examples [t]http://cinematicmod.com/images/cm_12/comparisons/cm_12_08.jpg[/t] [t]http://cinematicmod.com/images/cm_12/comparisons/cm_12_01.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Butthurter;40591434]except that catwalk he added to the barn adds nothing but to take away the scenery and attention players should have on the barn when driving by it[/QUOTE] He adds a lot of good stuff And a metric fuckload of bad shit :v:

i hope this mod will have really good skyboxes. nothing i love more than a good skybox

Yeah, some of FF's maps are good, but some of them he takes too many liberties with (making the coast into a forest). I haven't played any of FF's maps, as I am put off by a number of his infamous character replacements. I tried FF once, stopped after Ravenholm when I got there and realised he replaced the fast zombie with a naked vampire lady (which apparently was released completely by accident, makes you wonder what else he has on his own private copy).

The newest cinematic mod light edition really isn't so bad (if you ignore the horrible brute forced 'HD' models and textures that make it 100% unstable at the best of times). One thing that still shits me to no end is that all of the graffiti has now been replaced with pornography and really dirty comments... it's so unfitting, it's almost worse than the character models. But his skyboxes are fantastic. They make you feel more like you're in an actual run down city as opposed to a neatly contained little warzone in a quaint east-european village town or something. I've never had an issue with his skyboxes, and if Valve can't seem to stop completely breaking the original ones they made, then something simply must be done about it. But, you know, don't copy FF's skyboxes or anything, damn.

Editing the level geometry so it isn't so obviously blocky and adding extra furniture to the levels where it makes sense, i.e. where you think valve would have put it if they weren't working with hardware limits from 2004 seems the best course of action [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] It's like FF has potential and he could make/steal/whatever he does now some good shit with some fine tuning, but the defining aspect of his character is comically missing the point.

Maybe someone should bite the bullet and run through FF taking notes of all the things he did [I]right[/I] so we can do them better :v:

no - this mod is supposed to be NOTHING like FF, that's the whole reason of the mod - something that's not fake factory

Just because it's not supposed to be FF doesn't mean you can't go through it and note what it did right and very very wrong

[QUOTE=SFC003;40592611]no - this mod is supposed to be NOTHING like FF, that's the whole reason of the mod - something that's not fake factory[/QUOTE] People above were saying how the destroyed landscape is an improvement. Does this mean we cannot make a destroyed landscape because it would be too much like FF? No, it doesn't, and I hope the team isn't thinking that way either. Just because FF did it doesn't mean it's 'tainted' and we cannot. If there is something done right, that doesn't mean we need to change our ways because it was done by someone we don't like.

[QUOTE=SFC003;40592611]no - this mod is supposed to be NOTHING like FF, that's the whole reason of the mod - something that's not fake factory[/QUOTE] the whole reason of the mod is to make a graphically superior, technically updated and slightly tweaked half life 2 experience not to spite fake factory are you sure you're in the right thread????

TBH I like FF's map edits, it's just his lighting is quite bad. Also some of his models are complete crud like the trees. I'm going for a pseudo fakefactory look, with things looking less blocky, and more organic, but keeping the original atmosphere and making the visuals less cluttered. I mean when you have crap tons of debris everywhere, then the screen is cluttered. I'm gonna make things a "clean" mess.

Just keep away from placing lush green trees everywhere and you're safe.

[QUOTE=HGrunt;40594565]Just keep away from placing lush green trees everywhere and you're safe.[/QUOTE] Chillax, I'm gonna place dead trees everywhere. There will be a lot more foliage.

You guys can do a lot of cool stuff with particles and fog in the alien swarm version of source particle fog helps a lot with giving volume to a map
