Map Battle 29 - Alternate Worlds **EXTENDED**

[Sacul15]

I think i just lost.. again lol.

There can obviously be only one winner (with the occasional tie), but there are no losers here.

I think we should make it a trend to say what we learned or improved upon in this process.

Me? I utilized func_tracktrain and path_track, npcs, and env_beams for the first time, and learned a lot more about weird lights like env_sprites and env_lightglows.

What about you?

Finally finished the compile:

Holy Socks that's win with awesomesauce on top.

I had a similar idea. Well, I have. Depending whether we get an extensions.

C'mon, at least Wendesday Midnight. Wednesday is a short day for me, pwease?!

Sorry lads, I'm on holiday at the moment and when I set this battle I wasn't expecting to be this busy. I'm posting from a totally different timezone and it's a little tricky I feel it's only fair to extend this as I've been so shitty about keeping on top of it, and reliable WIP-showing people have requested it.

So, This battle is extended until Wednesday 26th, Midnight GMT. For the closing time in your time zone, click here.

God damnit

[Sacul15]

Relax, you're still gonna win.

[AlexCrafter]

Yay, now I just need to take a picture and hope no one realized that this is more of a juxtaposition than two alternate worlds

[BubbleQ]

Well I guess it's time to stop fiddling around, so these are FINAL...

I present to you the Exoshot camera, it gives you a peak into alternate worlds, be careful though...


Shots of the 2 worlds:

OMG the Loch ness monster! Nah it is just an snake.

Nice maps evryone, i will not enter this one beacuse of school and some other things takes to much time
But i will probaly enter the next one!

[AlexCrafter]

I can't find the bsp so I only have these wip pics I took, anyways:

The first world, man worships god:


The second world, man worships himself through his own creation:




. They're both actually on the same map, the thing is the one is built on a rock wall the other on the ground so the objects don't use the exact same spot just the same area.

Well this was a map that ive worked on for 4 months and thought it would be good for the contest haha. But i learned how to clip better! and uh turkey day is near. Also i learned how to make grubs stay on a wall, i learned logic relays, which i should have been useing for the past 3 years of mapping... just started useing them. learned tonemap controls stuff like that

Oh yeah, I used logic entities for the first time in mine too! How about the rest of you?

I learned that VRAD sucks.


VRAD likes to crash a lot for me. Despite the fact I do nothing wrong, also, if I CLICK on ANYTHING or ALT TAB or just really do ANYTHING while Hammer is compiling, it locks up, and switches over to "NOT RESPONDING" mode. The fuck is up with that yo.

Sigh.

[srredfire]

SUPER FINALZ






RIGHT CLICK > VIEW IMAGE > FULLVIEW IS 1920 x 1200 OK COOL THANX LOL.

I'm fucking done. Took way too long to get VRAD to do what I wanted it to do, worked in the end but yeah, I'm done. Those are my finals. Judge them as they are.
