WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

It's just Tomb Raider 2012. The radio tower on the edge of the cliff, the pointless lava, etc etc

Actually was pulling Dear Esther esque radio tower out of my head when I was putting this together.

The radio tower in Dear Esther is on top of the highest point on the island. Not in the middle of a ravine.

Come to think of it, every radio tower should be at the tallest point.

That is true, but mine...
It's no ordinary Radio Tower.
If it even is a Radio tower...

Looks good but the light on your capture point is super bright, making it look completely white. Try turning the HDR down, or if needs be off.

just to let you know, you linked the same picture twice.

Thick fog for a reason.

Yes, this is the same entry as the other 2. (Now everyone is really confused)

Mint Onion, I can tell that you've made maps for other games because that is a beautiful map, but it would be a sniper's paradise because it is so open. Also, the water is designed to be scaled at 1.0, unlike everything else.

Did you stack them?

hey Empyre. i have messed in hammer and udk in the past but i've never taken a map to final.

i have a few years of experience with asset creation so working in 3d is familiar to me. the source sdk tools are fairly well documented and there are lots of useful resources online, including this forum and its members.

thanks for the compliments on my map and for the warning. i agree, this space will allow snipers to become very dangerous. as well as the exploding expert and missile man. i'll keep a look out for issues that may arise due to the arrangement.

the very first hallways were actually designed around the sniper class and so it would seem, set the pace for the rest of the map. i do not wish to drastically favor one class over another with this map. i expect to make mistakes. if i find my layout impacts the play experience in a negative way, i will want to try my best to find a solution.

my main goal for this map is to be creative, have fun building spaces, and learn to overcome as many technical challenges and beginner mistakes i come across. so far, it's been an absolute blast.

i should change the texture scale on the water to 1.0 rather than what is probably .25? okay, i'll take your word on that.

thx!

thanks for the comment Sergis. i'd be interested in hearing what you know about mapflow. Dr. Element had mentioned he'd be interested in seeing my map's layout in THIS thread and i'll do my best to post something up when i find the time later tonight.

when i share update links in this mega-thread in the future, i'll link to my feedback thread to minimize cluttering this gallery type thread as much as possible.

Little bit of progress from cp_blackgold
It's a 5cp map, this area is just death-match/transition. Everything here is early alpha.
Any critique is appreciated, thanks.

That map looks like its overbright on the sky light. Many of the surfaces are bright white or yellow while it should be gray or orange.
