WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Yeah. Basically you have to:

• Set up your model so that those particular polygons use a different material than the rest of the model; you can and should keep the UV mapping the same
  
• Make the material file for that material, referencing the same $basetexture but also including $translucent 1
  
• Add alpha-channel transparency to where the windows are in your texture, along with any other alterations you might want (clouded-looking edges are a popular choice)

I'm kinda bit confused. Can you show me step by step with screencaps? I'm doing it the wrong way.

Haven't used hammer in quite some time. Feels good to be back. I've started work on a 3cp attack/defense map. This is Blu's spawn + courtyard so far.

Putting together a map rn, it's a bit of a weird one but I think I know what I'm doing.

I fucking LOVE convoluted and confusing entity setups! I hope you'll tell us what it's for!

It's for the campaign gamemode

Me and my bud are making our first (KotH) map, based on IRL location.
We're sticking to the rules and trying the best to keep it clean, but I think we still need help from someone with the map.

You should turn off texture scale lock when resizing brushes, it's what likely resulted in those stretched orange textures in the first shot. You can set the texture X and Y scales to 0.25 to reset it

I did not knew about that. Well, thanks for the tip.

Hey, guys. So, I've been working on a payload map on and off for a very, very long time, and I was wondering if you guys had any feedback or advice on my layout so far. Do you think it would play well?

My first time ever making a map, watched UEAK's tutorial on Hammer, and decided to do a MvM / Payload map. These are my first screenshots, and the map is sort of in the purgatory state, as I dont really have any ideas on what to add to it. I'm going for a Mannhattan / Coaltown mixed with Steel. The plan is, (when the map is mostly finished of course) to make the payload spawn in after the end of the 6th wave. The players will have to push it to the robot spawn. There will be some custom voicelines, if I make them / even have time to make them. The payload will also have a custom model to accompany the voicelines.

Sounds pretty ambitious! I wish you the best of luck!

This sounds very cool! Be careful about getting too ambitious, though. You don't want to burn yourself out.
That being said, this does sound very cool. Plus, you could always try to convert it into a regular Payload map version, to get two maps in one.
Best of luck to you. I think you can do it. Don't give up. And I'll help try to spark some ideas for you if you still feel stuck and don't know what to add next. I have that problem, too.

making a mall map called trade_orangemall, you probably already get the general idea of it
there will be big spawn rooms on each side with benches and resupply cabinets, i've yet to implement that just so i can test if the map is working okay
gravity is a little lower then usual so people can easily jump on the next floor

i'm proud of these planter boxes they look pretty nice!

there was also a burning car in the parking lot but it refuses to appear in game, nor does the fire effects or fire sounds..?
welp, any tips?? i used no tutorials for this map so far so i dunno what to implement

This'll be the last version before this all gets fully artpassed
