Anyone want my Valve Lighting Test map?

B

Buster Charlie

I built a simple map with many square rooms. Each room has a light I grabbed from a decompiled Valve map, roughly categorize (light bulbs, spot lights, etc).

It's just a handy place to grab lighting setups Valve has used, and you can compile it and see it as a quick reference to what lights you might want to use.

Buster, you should try making into a detailed tutorial.
drpepper, that would be a great idea, or even a section for tutorial/tips type maps and stuff would be great.

I also made a map that, I want to make a 'style sheet' for valve maps.


For example I took different rooms in 2fort, and I made a 'generic room' with two levels and a set of stairs, and each room I made in the style of one of the 2 fort rooms. So I seperated the style from the map, and made a generic example:

"what kind of lighting does this style use?"
"What textures do you use for the ceiling?"
"What kinda of corners/reinforcements do you use?"

This is such a large project, I only have like 4 rooms done. I need to get my badlands map done so I'll finish it later.

hrmm Mapping Examples, maybe. Tutorial Resouces or Community Utility maps are also good.

You could just attach it to a thread in the TF2 Tutorial Forum.

If you want a new section I'd recommend TF2 Examples and Prefabs.
