My first hl2 map

[Friendly Garg]

Hey all,

I've been working on this map for a while now. It'll be a co-op map for Svencoop 2 and/or a singleplayer "mod" for Half Life 2. Here's a couple of screenshots:

Let me know what you think so far.

Having problems finding some cool textures for that dam though. If you have any suggestions....

By the way. Cool tutorials, really helped out.

Well it's working here....

I hope that is a late reply. Try again please.

[wiggle987]

yeah it was a late reply, ah well, anyways i posted my thoughts on your hlfallout thread, please take them into account, most of the people on this forum know what they are talking about (most *glares at spartan*)

[Friendly Garg]

Yup, thanks for the comments. Helps a lot

[far]

it seems quite good.

In the second shot i think your skybox is a little misaligned.

You might want to add a treeline on the cliffs as there was in the orginal game.

but as this is your first map, just make sure you don't rush out the map, as people nowadays are trying to submit maps as quickly as possible without good testing or without making good use of the source engine etc.

Anyway keep up the good work & keep us updated

[Friendly Garg]

I'm glad you guys like it so far. Keeps me motivated.

Not sure what you mean by "treeline" though.

[Cr4ig]

it aint a misshaped sky box - for some reason that sky tends to show the seems.

[wiggle987]

yeah the sky_wasteland002 skybox is messed up, try something from the day 2 sky textures, there mostly the ones used on the coast map

If your looking to spruce up the damn i'd suggest using prop_static models. the canal folder has some realy useful things a long these linies. texture wise try searching for concrete. I'm currently working on a map which has a damn of sorts and i found some very useful textures in there.

[Friendly Garg]

I'll be sure to check out that.

Will post some new screenshots tomorrow.

[Friendly Garg]

AHHH!! Its all gone!

All my displacement shit dissapeared when I applied a decal to a NORMAL wall without displacement...

It's all gone now...




I'll have to recreate all mountains again and ground... and align all my stuff again. GRAAAH!
