Silly Valve - A Thread of Odd Map Finds

[gamemaster1996]

It was defientely a easter egg for haloween so more of a candy bomb.
Kind-of like the note on the texture files for the camper saying something about it not being op'd

Perhaps this has been posted in another thread, but I found this while digging around in the SDK version of Hydro for machinery stuff.

It's in the Spawn Room used by Red to attack Blu's final cap.

I do believe this same symbol is found in cp_well.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Were they made by the same guy? Could be like some kind of watermark for his maps.

 

[Ida]

No, it's not in Well. It's in Badlands. It's Iikka Keranen's easter egg.

 

[Cynick]

Visible nodraw faces? In MY ctf_sawmill?

 

[grazr]

No, it's not in Well. It's in Badlands. It's Iikka Keranen's easter egg.

That's the one. I always get them mixed up :/

 

[jpr]

No, it's not in Well. It's in Badlands. It's Iikka Keranen's easter egg.

anyway, it can't be seen in-game, can it? because i've never seen that before

I blame the Nodraw.net article for forgetting the ä.

No, it can't be seen ingame.

Almost all of Yukon's displacements.

 

[grazr]

Almost all of Yukon's displacements.

Yukon isn't a Valve map. It's an officialised custom.

And non-alligned displacements with leaking lightmaps isn't exactly what this thread is about.

 

[honeymustard]

Gravelpit has a lot of displacements that aren't sewn and textures don't line up.

 

[Pocket]

Oh good. Somebody not-me has bumped this one. I found this'un in Hammer when I was experimenting with rerouting some of the passages:

That ceiling isn't supposed to be wood. Apparently a holdover from when they copied the side from red (where, ironically, that brush isn't even part of the visible ceiling; there's a solid wall where the shelves are).

 

[Minilandstan]

Well has a visible nodraw area. Its not visible, its just a little part of the map where you can see into a hallway. I use that to my advantage.

 

[GLaDOS]

Above the caps of Turbine, there are ledges textured with nodraw. I use them to my advantage as solly

 

[Tapp]

Between 1st and 2nd rounds in dustbowl and goldrush, one can rocket-jump and see into the second round from the first.
-todo: proof.

 

[absurdistof]

Don't even get me started on the pipeline detail ledges that unbalance the sides of s2, as well as the various clipping mishaps.

 

[honeymustard]

Ha, Pipeline was a real mess when they first released it.

 

[Ravidge]

pipeline stage3

 

[Nutomic]

Found this when i was looking stuff up for my map (left blu entrance):

I wonder why nobody has ever noticed this :O
