Anyone want my Valve Lighting Test map?

[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.

i think i should make an upload category for miscellaneous stuff like this!

Cool idea, I would mind having something like this.

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.

Mapping Resources? Community Resources? Community Utility maps?

 

[Nizzem]

you could call it Examples... or ... Tutorial Resources ... or any of the above suggested

 

[Intraman]

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

i could use some very presice light tutorials too, i know the basics but its quite hard to get the lights like you want

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.

 

[drp]

Tutorial Resources it is!

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Time to start uploading stuff!

 

[Hawk]

YES! This is a great idea and I'd love to have the map.
