WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

yayyyy im so excited

 

[EArkham]

Poopy Joe will live again!

Only base colour fills done right now. No rigging, no transparency (why his hair looks daft right now), no phong yet.

 

[The Asylum]

the 10th class finally revealed

make it happen Valve

 

[GPuzzle]

If you don't make a GOOD SD map, EArkham, I'm going to be slighty disappointed. But if you don't, please someone else do it! It will be awesome!

Oh you're another person who cranks up the texture scale on their skybox brushes? I also turn my playerclip scale up to about 300 so it's just solid purple. That makes it so much easier to see what's behind it.

 

[LeSwordfish]

This is yylers old map. Broadly, anything neat in the brushwork is his. I do like that playerclip trick, though.

Also, you can edit vtfs to make them uniform so you won't have to deal with scale anymore.

 

[YM]

oh yeah could go edit boojum's tf2 one in the SDK bin, that's a neat idea.

 

[Spipper]

Simplified the layout in front of spawn, and added some textures.

Wooden fencing sticking out of solid concrete doesn't make any sense to me. How would that even work? Unless they jammed them in there while the cement was still wet.

Yeah, that's from like a 3 or 4 map stretch where I was setting all my tool textures to 1 or 5 scale or something, but changing their scale in the FGD seems a lot easier and faster and I'm gonna do that.

How do you do that? In the VMT files?

 

[tyler]

Yeah, I meant VMT files, not FGD, but I can't remember where ABS stuck the modified tool VMTs included with his pack.

Edit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\yyler\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\tf\materials\tools

Just add "$basetexturetransform" "center .5 .5 scale .25 .25 rotate 0 translate 0 0" on a new line before the last closing bracket and any textures at .25 scale will appaer at 1 in Hammer.

 

[Eyce]

Railbridge a2 progress.

I'm really not sure about the wooden barriers. Anybody got ideas about what I could replace them with?

 

[TehStoneMan]

Have you tried metal barriers?

 

[Sergis]

hydroshields

they fix everything

 

[ForbiddenDonut]

Stupid question, but what does setting the scale of skybox textures to a higher stretch actually do?

I get the player clips and wanting to see past them, but I don't quite understand the skybox texture one.

Put a building.

And ForbiddenDonut, nothing but the map looks way more clean like that.

It just makes the sky not look like one of those book puzzles you have to unfocus your eyes at in order to see a 3D pirate ship. It's a pretty ugly texture when you use it on huge walls of geometry.
