remake of my house

Nice work man! Great project, I'm just curious about the gameplay and actual dimension ingame... Is it actually playable?

Well, thanks! You could download it and try for yourself..

I havent tried playing it with many people. To be honest I dont think it's going to be good gameplay..


That's what that looks like now.. huge difference as you can see(not really)

This is the road which looks pretty boring:


I have to change that wall, because it is ugly. Also the tunnel....

Apparently hdr doesnt work! I build the cubemaps and restart the map and it looks fine.. but when I quit half life 2 dm and start it up again everything looks like it did before, i'm getting tired of this, was just about to release it..
took 19 hours to compile this crap..

Hmmm, perhaps if you have the map open elsewhere (I.e. Hammer) it doesn't save it properly. Worth a shot.

[Kvackabill]

But i didn't have hammer opened. I read a post that said it might be because of using a non hdr skybox...
The thing is I want to have that skybox, it's the only one that works with the lightning I want..
I think i'm just going to compile the map with LDR and bloom.

Well you CAN use an LDR sky with HDR but it won't look nearly as good. Maybe ask Mr. Chop to make an HDR version for you, or check out the tutorial he wrote on how to do that and maybe you could create it on your own.

I agree that the sky you are using is pretty good and the lighting accommodates your map well.

19 hours? maybe you should work on your optimization...

Probably.. but I have used func_detail and no draw on every texture, I think it's just too much detail and displacements..
on the other hand it didn't take as long when I compiled the map with episode 2

Thanks! I can take a look at that tutorial..
