please be easy maybe it's just another skin, i dont mind either because you should better play call of duty instead of counter-strike: Source

[Habboi]

Alright alright I hate to start fights but if it's so wrong why is it on hl2files.com

Why does half the population of CSS'ers use it and why are they not banned.
It's like banning someone for making a skin they made themselves and it has something rude on it like 'c**ks' because he might be gay.

Anyway I really am not interested in the models but the map itself.

[Jest@]

nah you don't deserve a ban, of course not. but perhaps a slap on the wrist . I think it kinda ruins the game to play around with tricks like that. You're essentailly playing a completely different game.

And definitely for mapping, you should playtest with normal model skins -cos that's what the majority of players use, and it's the 'proper' way - so you have to tune your map to the normal skins and normal play style, if you see what I mean.

[Habboi]

Yep I see what you mean!
So I tested it with bots and they used my environment well e.g. dark places

[Habboi]

Not much has happened to this map but that is because of the small amount of time I have.

Once I have a sort of complete map I will see if I can make a beta...
The reason there isn't one is because the map is uncomplete and you can walk out into the sky...
Plus if you played it now and then I finished it later on you won't be as shocked and think meh this maps ok....

Thanks Yoshi

nice

Dude, the map isnt ok. I dont know why you've got so much positive feedback. All I can see from the screens is box rooms with random props in, dodgy lighting, and bugger all else. Please, this is a nice start to source mapping, but you gotta realise this _isnt_ good. Keep trying some things and test then with friends. You dont have to release everything you ever possibly do.

[slayera]

I have to agree about the lighting, the spot light effect is not working for those long fluorescence lights. Use a fade texture on a func_illusionary.

[Habboi]

Matteh???

If it is a box then why are there arches...
I don't release everything I make and this map is a lot of hard work!
So far it's taken me 2 months to make what I have so far!

A lot of people like it, a lot of people like lighting and just because one person doesn't like it doesn't mean I wreck it for the rest of everyone else...

I will see what I can do Slayer!

You obviously didnt understand what I ment. Your rooms are boxy. You could try deviating from that a litte bit.

Well good for you, Its nice to see you put effort in.

I never said you had to change it.


By putting your maps up on forums like these there are always going to be people that dont like something that others do. Doesnt mean you have to change it just cos someone said so, but at least put soe thought into why a comment has been made, and think logically wether it would be better changed, or like it is.


EDIT: I would also suggest changing the name to something more orientated to the theme, to suggest to people what your map is about.

I dont see your problem anyway matteh, even though your on my signature

But serious, he hasnt released his map anyway, he just put it up on under construction forums. Thats not releasing.

I dont have a problem. Unless you count my opinion as a problem. In which case we do have a problem.. problem problem.

EDIT: I Just noticed one of the strip lights in the bathroom is turned off. You prolly already fixed it, but just thought I'd let you know.

[Habboi]

Thanks for pointing that out!
I know I don't have to change it and all opinions are welcome!

Sometimes though I get annoyed at comments!
Just ignore crazy me!

It's got a lot of work ahead of it and don't forget it is my first CSS map because I used to map for HL2 / DM etc...

Until next time!

Everybody does, its instinctive to go on the defence when someone points out flaws in something you made that has taken alot of time and effort. Learning how to cope with this is a life lesson as much as a mapping lesson.

Holy crap.

[Habboi]

Well it's finished now and although it's not my best work I do like it and so did a few others.
Anyway for those who liked it:
