I assure you it is completely unchanged.

Also- Again, what happened to my avatar D:<
No I don't have a backup of it, I lost it when my HD died D:

I'm fairly sure the tops ones are just textured as glass with the bottom ones textured with nodraw every other brush. That's how I think he's doing it at least. Could be wrong, or he could be ignoring the rules, there's always that.

Edit: Damn, you got it before me Pain. XD

[nub]

The "clear" pieces are obviously glass. You can see the citizen standing on one of the glass parts.

CONSPIRACY! SCANDAL I SAY! SCANDAL!

No no no, people are actually commenting on my map this time, I don't want it to stop.

[Deathbagel]

Oh, my bad, I didn't notice. This is why I usually don't comment on other people's maps, because I end up looking like a moron.

However, while I now know that this is glass, it still doesn't look like it. Are you perhaps using glasswindow070c? That texture is very transparent and often looks like there's nothing there at all, something that really bugs me. I'd recommend changing the texture used or modifying it (hey....maybe I should do that too....).

I'm going to try this!

[ReservoirWOLF]

doesnt leave me much time, but i'll try something, does it have to be a full working map? or can it just be a pretty picture?

The only thing you submit is a picture.

It has to be enough to allow you to compile so it looks like a working map.

[ReservoirWOLF]

k cool thanks.

What the hell happened to my vrad? It stopped at 4.

EDIT: After some deleting of many brushes, I managed to get a full compile and then I was greeted with this error after the game crashed.

[ErikKiller]

Well, tell a programmer then

[Surfa]

Dude too many vertices. You might need to delete some brushes or just open the code and up the vertex buffer limit (do we get access to this? can't remember).

Nop, we don't.

Otherwise we could all edit the code and make super ginormous maps.
