CP artpass Capt. Kirk

[Capt. Kirk]

This is the first day of working on the map. I have added a lot of textures, A small house, and messed with the lighting a bit. I am new to the lighting part of Hammer so any help tips would help a lot since a need a darker map. I am also having problems with Purpleish Windows and a sky box that just drops off the map witch i want to fix but don't know how.there is also a picture of a side room that i messed with the lighting on.

Tons of textures you're using are actually from Half Life 2 and look very out of place with TF2's theme.

 

[Capt. Kirk]

yeah i relized that and am fixing it thanks though

The purple checkers show up if you haven't built cubemaps. More info here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Cubemaps

As for your skybox dropping off, you're probably referring to your lack of a 3D skybox. There's some more info with instruction here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/3d_skybox

Creating one for the first time might take some trial and error.

 

[Capt. Kirk]

Thanks

Day 3

Redid the water towers to a more tf2 style

 

[Boylee]

Once again, HL2 models.

When in the model browser, there's a column to the left of the model name (in the bottom lefthand pane) which shows if it's a TF2 model or a HL one.

?

what the water towers

 

[RustySpannerz]

It looks good, but I don't think the amount of light in the map fits with how bright the skybox is.

 

[Ninja]

yeah check this and set up the light_env respectivley http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2_Sky_List

 

[Ninja]

Day 4

Still trying to get the skybox darker, and figured out what to do with that ugly long wall that i started with.

 

[Goombac]

I think the yellow barrels are a bit much.

 

[Efhan]

Why is the truck completely black?
There appears to be several lightsources around it.

 

[Okrag]

Avoid red and blue lights, if a player is standing in them it makes it extremely difficult to tell what team they are on.

 

[Capt. Kirk]

New Skybox

new brewery going in here

Day 5

 

[Swordz]

Isn't that sign from cp_freight? I think you need authorization to use it

 

[RustySpannerz]

Freight was added to the game, which means that the models and textures were aquired by Valve, and now belong to them.
