I'm trying to think of a pun involving buffalos right now but that looks sweet.

 

[Shanghai]

Should I put a light in that covered bridge or leave it dark? It's the cart path.

 

[tyler]

Light it.

 

[Empyre]

It looks good dark, but the gameplay would be bad, so light it.

 

[Janeator]

Isn't it a 'rule' that you have to make all principal gameplay points VERY bright?

 

[tyler]

Not really, but if it's hard to tell team colors (or impossible) you're just gonna frustrate players for no reason. There are lots of ways you can light a map; it doesn't need to be super bright in every area.

 

[Janeator]

Not sure bright, but according to VDC, points and objectives should be bright, so they're easy to locate. Ofc there can be dark zones too to set the mod

And, btw, here's my first screen from my new map - ik, no dev textures , pootismen everywhere and void.
Feedback appreciated if you can come with any.

And yeah, sorry about that. idk why but it seems like twitpic has decided to bitch with image resolution. It didn't do that before. any site suggestion?

EDIT: Img link because it also bitches about inserting em here.

Use imgur or minus or dropbox or tinypic

Also, you'd probably do well to read the lighting guide I wrote. It's a lot more in depth and complex than the VDC stuff.

Also also, I fixed your picture. You have to embed the image file (Right click -> open image in new tab), not the page the image is on.

 

[Janeator]

Thanks. Btw i think i already did that with the image, or tried and then edited because it didn't work either.

 

[re1wind]

Because i still think there isn't a decent non-koth/arena cp map with an egypt style.

 

[Janeator]

Cool! Just one thing: i woulnd't use circular shapes for an egypt map.

A map im making for SFM exclusively, its about 25% done. Would like some feedback.

More Screenshots of this map: here.

 

[Tarry H Sruman]

The highlights are way, way too bright. Tune that down a lot.

 

[A51]

The lights are coming from a lights texture, I cant tune them down without scaling the texture, which either results in too bright or too dark. Im only using these because I like how they look in 2fort

 

[tyler]

There are about 5 light textures with varying intensity, fyi.

 

[Tarry H Sruman]

Working again.

 

[re1wind]

Made with 75% recycled assets, and now with More circles!

Am I making progress?

And yeah, I know - that finale isn't too impressive. I haven't gotten around to detailing it yet.
I'd better get an actual compile without fast vis so we can test this (I have the nav mesh and pop file already made so I just have to patch up what's WIP)
