Hello again hl2w Board.

- Notice
in-case of Rebel engineers not building or just standing there in front of building queu is not my part to fix,

Hi,

i think it's too dark, overall lightning needs some work. But I like the enterable buildings.

Also i quickly made a basic minimap. ^^

Hey thank you very much! Had so much troubles with that minimap
Also thank you for the tip, though the game it self got a field of view, so it makes it darker automatically i think.
i'll try something


EDIT: Updated the map

[pandango]

looks nice, I like the darkness, it really gives the map a nice atmosphere. you do need to place some npc clips in the fences next to the road as my units are trying to navigate through them.
the map looks promising so far, keep it up.

Thank you!

Changed the fences to walls,
Now the AI navigation should be just about perfect!
Hope you like it !

Some bugs:

• The roof sometimes does not disappear.
• Your "func_map_boundary" seams to be wrong, it looks very strange on the minimap.

Some details ?
what exactly do you see ?
(Sorry for the late replay)

[ProgSys]

Some details ?

The roof sometimes does not disappear, you can't look inside. Why you can't look inside, I dont know.


Your "func_map_boundary" seams to be wrong, you see it multiple times on the minimap:

Yeah, Good start for your level keep it up if you want you can always open my older maps for hl2 wars and take a look at how they where made. there not really the best maps out there but there open source .

Here are screens of some lighting i did in the past, though it's pretty still pretty bad.





there are plenty of useful lighting tricks you can use to make lighting look interesting but you got a very interesting map, so far. Keep up the good work.

[Ancient]

I would love to see some of those maps, if you could upload some of them anywhere that would be so sweet!
Lighting has always been my weak side, so if you got any map that's got A huge amount of lights, please share your knowledge

my older maps are pretty dated (2008), i have been mostly lurking around here every so often. I mostly develop levels for other games now. I still occasionally mess with valve hammer editor when it allows me. it tends to crash a lot compared to unreal and crysis level editors after using the forums search button here is all the maps, i developed in a very short time. (usually 1-2 months per map)

after reading the topics and yes, i was working on at max 6-7 levels at once, most of them where just concept idea's that ether did not work out or gather enough interest to go into full production and here are a few unreleased concept maps.

the rest are on my hard drive still (at least i think).
