WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Why is there an utterly random shopping list on it? I don't get it. It doesn't seem to have any relation to the hat, unless there's some (obscure?) reference I'm not getting. Also, why isn't this a Demoman hat?

Fail a reflect, catch it with your head instead.

The note is purposely random just to break the colour up a bit. Maybe I should have gone with a feather instead.

I'm so shit at making textures :s

 

[Seba]

ur shit at life

I'd make the square frames gold maybe. Something about all the redness of the upper part makes it look bad.

I was playing on Frontier and I noticed the same odd lighting glitch that we've been seeing lately. Why is it occurring on already-compiled maps?

 

[Harribo]

I think Mangy recompiled it so he could change a couple things for the official version, I'm not sure if pl_frontier was added before or after the SDK event that triggered these lighting bugs to occur though

It was before iirc.

Which makes this a bit more confusing... Has Valve commented on anything from this?

He holds it like the Dead Ringer.

I want to get back into mapping. I want an exercise. Someone tell me something easy to map, like a single abandoned mineshaft or something.

Neat. Is it just a dead ringer skin..?

i think you should map a single abandoned mineshaft as an exercise to get back into mapping

1st look at Bank Heist (or something)

Hi,

This is the 1st big map I have worked on, all others have been basic rooms.

As some of you may have seen from another post, this is a CTF map with a difference in that you have to capture and then hold the intel.

The pic has 4 views, 1 & 2 are of the town with bank and pyramid at one end and some old ruins at the other. There are 4 ways to the town from the team spawns, the quickest being the most open - under the bridge in pic 2. Other paths are through some old mine tunnels, through the ruins and through the teams own bases. The blue base is shown in pics 2 and 3. You have to get the intel from the bank and then keep it in the structure between the blue stairs in 3.

I've textured it since I started using the devel ones, but then realised that, as its symmetrical, I would have to end up texturing the map 4 times. (Once with all the devel texts for blue, flip the map, devel texture the red test. then texture blue side, flip again (!) and texture the red. Ugh...) This way I only have to texture the red side on each flip.

Having said that I'm probably going to change the rock textures anyway...


Comments please on layout, possible problems, balance issues etc. It will not compile in this state due to duplicated game logic.

Woa I was just thinking the same thing!

This is a wip.

It might be a bit too symmetrical. The fact that it's a perfect square is kind of... strange. It's not inherently bad, it just strikes me as odd.

Actually, I personally think thats the one flaw with Egypt artstyle, it isn't symmetrical. Most irl egyptian buildings were symmetrical.

please tell me you're going to have water falling into the pool from those top ducts, please?

True, true. The real deciding factor is how it plays.

looks like a place in Serious Sam!

I'm starting to get the feeling it's a GFX setting issue. I run on full and have never seen this purple/blue shadow hue-ing, and almost all cases have been reported by people running really low settings. Perhaps it's a DX issue?

morras a33 (last compiled in september) dx8.1, low shader detail

morras a34 (last compiled yesterday) dx8.1, low shader detail

dx9.0, low shader detail

dx9.0, high shader detail

it's still there on higher settings. do you not have the glitch in gullywash_final1? it's there on both sides
