Remake of avanti from TFC. (another one?) 3cp style like mountain lab. About 1/4th is detailed

The dumpsters have flies around them but it's tough to see unless you're up close:

Careful on your sign placements, you have a otto's cafe sign and a Coal sign. Just seems a little odd

Yeah I know it's dark, it's something at least. More to come one I fix the boat load of lighting issues in the map.

What's the context? Is it a spawnroom or something?

Are these better?

I think what Bakscratch is saying, is it's very odd to have a restaurant that close to a coal plant.

A map commission i'm working on, making ctf_Minefort not look like minecraft, been a ton of fun so far

That first screenshot is very 2fort-esque.

Just finished making my displacement cliffs look less awful. Obviously still very subdivided, but I'm working on it!

We're working on an RC2 of Stoneyridge, with the mission "delete visual noise."

I'm not sure about the changes to the spawn area, and I probably offended Crash by completely removing some detail brushing he probably spent like a week making because he's obsessive like that.

But doing quick estimates with RC1, along with some improved hint brushes and mass prop deletions I'm seeing about a 15% increase in framerates. Some spots are significantly higher than that. So that's always nice.

The whole thing is massively dark, make sure you light it all up properly.

Uuuugh. Of course my luck, some of my map files became corrupt. And of course, the one I can't get back is the best project I've been working on.

Oh well. Time to fix the kinks this time around.

You know the .vmx files are backups and if you rename then to .vmf you got your map back?

C:\HammerAutosave will also have 5 backups of your maps, by default it autosaves with 15 minute intervals.

I know, a ton of my game files (Only games that run on Source Engine though, wtf.) Got corrupted, even the vmx got corrupted. -.-

Slow but steady progress. Improved lightning, aligned textures and new problems.

Any opinions on the mountain? Does it look okay?

Maybe I will finally finish my first map.

 

[zpqrei]

Is that castle of rock held up by wood?

 

[Freyja]

My other detail entry, spent so long just getting it under the tjunct limit so much of the detailing isn't finished sadly. Water is temporary obviously

 

[Snowshoe]

Do you have normal mapping turned off or just reeeaaallllly flat lighting on those bricks??

The brick texture is valve's and I know they use normals, but sometimes they turn on and sometimes not. Same with the color correction, sometimes it looks really dull other times it looks normal. Don't know why. I run tf2 at maximum settings.
