nope, it's too big behind, cut it to the half
Cut it in half in which way?
Looking front to back , or left to right?

Um, sorry 'bout changing the subject, but... Does anyone have any idea regarding the root of my displacement lighting problems?
Oh, and an additional question. Gullywash contained a bunch of weapon models hidden in various places. Does anyone know how this was done? I tried inserting a prop_static which used a weapon model, but it didn't show up in-game.

I have no idea about your displacement issue, but in the image the texture looks very stretched. Did you subdivide to create that lump? Honestly I tend to delete and recreate from scratch when weird stuff like that happens.
For your weapons, use prop_dynamic instead of prop_static.
And now, per request, a variant of the pyro homburg for the demo:
"It's like having an ace up your sleeve. Only it's a bomb. In your hat."

Thanks. The displacement is indeed very stretched, and it's the result of temporary manual laziness. I'm fixing it now.

Was this directed at me or someone else?

My displacement problem has been solved. I intersected displacements instead of sewing them, and apparently that is terrible.
So... Every map ever has to arrange all its displacements in a tetris-style puzzle grid, huh? that sounds terribly inconvenient.

Well when you consider its tetris where you can control the size and shape of the pieces entirely (apart from them having to be 4 sided), its not that bad.
Also generally sewing is good for discrete objects but not necessary for everything. Have every piece in a cliff-face sew, but you can just poke it through the ground and the lighting will be fine
plus if a displacement just wont stick together or look good on the corners, you can always hide it behind props and brushes

Really? But poking through was what caused my problem, wasn't it? The cliff thing consisted of a bunch of sewn together displacements, which would have worked fine on its own. However, it poked up through a relatively flat ground layer, and there was a dramatic change in lighting between ground and cliff.
Yep, I'm using a few of my houses for that. It's a lifesaver.

Stop questioning the way I run my facility and get back to shooting people.
i'm not sure those windows really fit, i think the wooden ones would work better. Also, i dislike that vent up there, it's probably very close to the players for the 2D design (though that may be less obvious in gameplay). Otherwise, kinda nice.
The wooden support around the top right window is a bit odd. the wooden support, specifically the bottom left corner needs something, either a diagonal support to the left tall window's bottom right corner, or a vertical, or near-vertical support.
otherwise i like.
