Environment Gallery - No more decompiling of Valve's maps! 1.0

Environment Gallery v1.8


New in version 1.8:

• Added the engineer update maps

This map contains the environmental entities from every Team Fortress 2 map by Valve and cp_egypt.
I will try to release updates as Valve release maps with a new skybox.
The entities for each map are grouped together so you can easily copy them to your map.
The light_environment contains the skybox name in the comments, make sure you copy that to the map's skybox name.


The entities are exactly the same as in Valve's maps with a few exceptions:

- I have removed the outputs that are map-specific in the logic_auto
- I removed the hammer id keyvalue in all entities (I believe this is a side effect after decompiling)
- The color_correction entity for cp_badlands which was located above the center controlpoint
had a fade distance. I changed it to be over the whole map (-1 and -1). The original values are 6000 and 7000.
- The audibility distance on the soundscapes are all set to -1.

Enjoy

 

Verrrrrrrrrrrrry useful, thank you

 

awesome, thank you

 

So I can simply copy-paste those and my map will have the exact same ligthing as the map?

 

Correct.

Don't forget to change to the skybox that's specified in the light_environment comments

 

wonderfull

 

superb.

 

Love this community, I do Well done sir.

 

I made one for myself with just the light environment entities, but I always had difficulty telling them apart. A bonus with the rest of the entities AND a clever solution. Well done.

 

this is helpful, thanks.

do they have to be in the actual map (besides env_sun)? because I have a box of entities (nodraw around it) that is seperated from the map, and I want to put them there

 

You should be able to have them there; including the env_sun

 

Thanks a lot, I fail at making good lighting on my map and this really made the lighting better.

 

1 thing I would add is the soundscape(s) of each map listed somewhere. Just be sure that people know that you can't just add one soundscape entity

 

I'll think about adding that in the next version

 

thanks

 

Can you do cp_egypt and update the file? I would appreciate it so much!

Edit:
Is that allowed? Since it isn't from VALVe.

 

Will add egypt and soundscapes for the next version.

 

Updated to version 1.1 now

Added soundscapes, egypt, and a little documentation of detail sprites.

 

Thanks, I love you!

 

Freaking awesome. Please don't flash me anymore, with your awesome work.
Thanks for your work.
