I am truly amazed by this map! Not only that it's night (my favorite theme) but it also looks great! The red-ish rocks are good looking too!
Question though: Is this part:

(that I can't figure out where it is) is underground? If so I think you should probably make it outside, it doesn't fit well with the rest of the map, especially with the trees...

 

[re1wind]

Its behind CP B, and yes its a bit odd.

needs more work and/or more detail and/or skybox.

 

[re1wind]

wip

 

[littleedge]

B looks much better. I still don't like how in your version you have to go around the entire building to get onto the roof, compared to Valvebase where it's a simple straight ramp up. MUCH better and non-gameplay-changing-looking though.

 

[re1wind]

New B.

 

[tyler]

New B is beautiful.

 

[Mr. P. Kiwi]

Huh, newbie.
That's amazing! Looks greater than ever!
I really like every little thing you've done there.

 

[re1wind]

experimenting with a white rock. Think dover cliffs, also, the ground doesn't fit with the rock, i'm aware of this. simple experiment.

 

[re1wind]

More progress. more localized white rock. ssbump maps and white texture need serious reworking (pixilated with compression artefacts)

 

[Draco18s]

I want...to play...this map.

Its absolutely stunning what you've done to it.

 

[re1wind]

more minor updates

 

[Ginger]

Nerdgasm, Thats a hands down winner right here

 

[Grim Tuesday]

There are lots of good ones to compete with this man.

I'd be careful with overuse of those dust particles, they make the area seem a bit dirtier than it should.

 

[FeartheMango]

How many times has B been reworked?

 

[Detattol]

Wow! This is Awesome! I hope it works on Bad computers! I can't even go on Sawmill some days!

 

[re1wind]

i'm getting constant 60fps+ throughout the map on max settings, but i can afford to play on 32 man servers as well, so my guiding limit is 60fps. use (abuse?) of occluders, areaportals, and hints is really helping to keep the amount of visible leaves and props down. almost all props have fade distance in them, even if they're not appropriate and/or if visleaves and occluders hide them sooner than the fade, and non-physics props are also being abused to simplify physics collisions, etc.

Excessive dust is an issue yes, added them a while ago and haven't tweak most of them. i'd much prefer to use a particle system ala l4d2 moths, but tweaking these dust motes will work as well.

Next step is going to rework some of the existing mining-related valve textures to give me more textures to work with, as three blend textures simply are not enough

I've reworked B a good 3 times now, and i'm certain its not going to be the last. It is acceptable in its current state (detail, time spent on it etc) compared to the area around it so i'm going to leave it for now.

 

[re1wind]

remake all ground displacements from blu spawn to cp A. also used some customized valve textures to expand the alpine theme (GravelPine theme?). also, water is broken for some reason.

 

[littleedge]

What do you mean by 'water is broken.'

Is the water invisible and you can hear yourself going through it but don't see it? If so, that's a leak.

 

[re1wind]

broken as in missing watercontrol entity and being a dodgy water texture to begin with.

Hopefully you can make my notes out - trying to be constructive, not mean!
