WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Caverns, yes / no? I was thinking of making them pretty big (enough space to rocket / sticky jump) with an open side to let light through.

Caverns, no matter how big, usually make me feel like I can't rocket jump. Its usually better to have an open ceiling to tell the player that the height boundary is higher.

Good point, I'll find another way to make the area feel more open!

Also, on topic: rebuilding my 72-hr map as a full project, Western style!

There are indoor/cave maps in which you can rocket jump easily plus you can exactly see where you would hit your head unlike when jumping under skyboxes

starting work on a new PLR map because... REASONS

The name plr_hightower is taken. Perhaps you could call it plr_manntower.

Getting back into Hammer after a short hiatus, so I decided to do some detail work on Tidepool.

These changes should be coming in a2.

Some progress made for badmountain...

-snip-

Wow, that looks a lot different! Keep it up; I think badmountain has some interesting gameplay variety.

Blu decided to launch a bomb straight at a RED building. Not only does it happen quick, it's also easy, and the only person you lose was the one on the bomb cowboy style!

It was a dud.

Blu now has to go set up base in a nearby building, and attack the Skyscraper, bottoms up!

One team is going up, the other one is going down. I'd say it's Hightime this battle starts.

Ugh, now I've gotta watch Dr. Strangelove. :O

Looks like an interesting start, I think it's Hightime we see another map that really sells a story in its detailing, just keep it simple for a1.

In regards to the texture you used, you accidently left (Texture Lock; it's by all the buttons at the top middle of hammer) on, which stretched your cave walls a bit. Click the (Face Edit Tool) and look at the X and Y values for "texture scale" and "texture shift". I generally set the scale to .5 for rock walls. The texture shift shouldn't really be anything but X:0 Y:0 unless you're looking to fix something with how the texture is tiling.

 

[HQDefault]

Anyone remember this?

 

[Vel0city]

Yes. What's with it?

 

[HQDefault]

Yes. What's with it?

(That was a rhetorical question)

It's done. I think. I'm gonna use it in a map, and if it's good, I'll put it up for download.

I really like the detailing so far, except for those funky stripes near the ceiling in this screenshot. I think either a straight colored band or a metal border would look better.

I'm thinking of adding a stripe section on the far wall from right to left, before it goes up to the ceiling. For now, it's a2, and the layout of the area might change before it's released.

Some careful displacement work on pl_descend's remake... Also, I'm afraid I'll get a lot of frustrated players because of low rooftops with clipping all over them, like in the MVM maps.

 

[Kube]

A wild Newmap appears!!

Either koth_nautical or arena_nautical, I'm not sure yet.

 

[tyler]

been getting this figured out today, here's a quick cordon. have to displace it tomorrow

here's an overview, its not quite right though. c will be on the right, somewhat between A and B vertically

also i need to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise
