My internet has been all kinds of shit ever since christmas, so I made a unexpected comeback to the sourceSDK
Unpleasant things I've done that I didn't remember I had to do, and wanted to forget was a part of mapping:
* Trying to remember where I left off 5 months ago
* Clipping
* Flipping the map (make symmetrical)
- repair all the stretched and rotated overlays
- replace red to blu textures, and then manually tweak
- change skin on all the newly flipped props
- make sure entity logic didn't explode
* Leaks
* Compile for an hour, without HDR.
* Discover missing lights in-game, missing clips, missing overlays, texture seams, dark props.
* Compile for another hour.
* Discover more issues.
You know, the usual.
