This is the very first time I opened Hammer Editor.
So don't blame me if it is a simple map.
Let me know what's good and what's wrong...


And enjoy the map
It's a simple ctf map.

Looks good for a first map, just learning the ropes and stuff.

One thing to point out would be to try not to use half life 2 textures and props. You can filter textures by typing 'tf' into keywords in the texture browser.

 

[Benne]

OK, I'll try to remeber that for the next map.

Good first map. Some concerns:

1. I'll be frank, WHAT is the purpose of that?
2. Why would need so much health right outside of spawn?
3. Why does this door not open? If it's never supposed to open, then please indicate so.
4. I'm not sure if this is, but this looks like a texturing error.

the answers:

1. That's a hole in the roof xD scout and soldier can go outside trough that and evryone can come inside trough that, I thought it would be fun
2. Yeah, that's right, Its a small map, so I didn't know where to put it, I'll change that.
3. That's the blu resupply door, it don't open for red, I'll make a sign for that.
4. That are the rocks from outside who come trough the wall a bit, I'll change that too

Thx for mentioning the concerns.

EDIT: updated!

Help:

I have a server running my map,
but there is something wrong,
the resupply sign's and the weapons have a purple shine
and when we wanted to put op a sentry on the tanker downstairs
the texture messed up and the server crashed...

The purple shine is due to having no env_cubemaps around the map. Also the Tanker crash...I have no idea

 

[Benne]

Yeah, I didn't know what cubemaps are for
now I do

 

[Bermuda Cake]

for building cubemaps, place them near shiny/reflective surfaces, and then compile. When in game, type these into console:

mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps
disconnect
mat_reloadallmaterials
mat_specular 1
map <yourmapname>

 

[Benne]

If I type that I get this:
