looks really good, all I can say, is if you have any problems, it's usually something simple...
and if, while play testing, you notice a texture face is black, even when a flashlight is shined on it, I really dont know an easier way of fixing this problem (I had it A LOT in my mario map), I ended up just rebuilding the blokc until it didnt do that...

It's actually annoying, but map making isn't hard... it's just tedious

I like the hanging people, adds a nice touch to it, I think

 

[slicer]

its a nice feel to it, but i would bet a large sum of mony that the name cs_asylium is alredy used.

 

[Ennui]

To be honest, it doesn't look fun at all; it really just looks like a bunch of props and a tree with bodies hanging from it.

Are you using the CS:S mapping config? You have a lot of Half-Life 2 models in there that AREN'T in the CS:S one.

 

[Uni-Ball]

Is there an actual indoor asylum? Cause so far the map looks kinda plain IMO

 

[Z3r0_Skull]

Its not done yet, I just started working on it on monday. I wanted to see what people thougt. Theres going to be alot more.

 

[Geronimous]

so honestly, wat gameplay value does this map have ???

 

[COALslaw]

I like it

 

[Limpet]

I knew there would be an indoor place eventualy, but I think you should wait to call this a beta if its not all mapped out yet.

Nice work. The darkness could add a good dynamic to gameplay. That big open space needs something in it though. I'm sure you've got something planned.

 

[Kevnadian]

Wow, some of those outdoor scenes look really cool. One comment, the guy hanging from the tree is a little low to the ground, no? Maybe shorten that rope a bit so he's about halfway up the oak.

 

[Sgt. Redneck]

I like how he has presented breen's body..dead and hung lol

 

[Dead-Inside]

The bricktextures need to be changed, seriously. Both on the house but especially on the outdoor thingy if you haven't already.

 

[Z3r0_Skull]

Thanks Dead-Inside i will look into that

 

[Uni-Ball]

:thumbs: zero skull, you put my foot in my mouth, the map is turning out extremely well IMO. I love the lighting and the desolate nature of the map really gives the map a.... errrrrr desolate scary feel... anyways keep up the good work :thumbs:

 

[Z3r0_Skull]

can any one tell me why my fps are so crapy. the pictures i posted above have the fps in the top right corner. Thier hard to read but just the ones that are red.

 

[Phisionary]

did you use many func_details, area_portal textures, and nodraw'ed non-visible faces? if so, then no. If not, then learn about those things.

 

[Z3r0_Skull]

I used func_details and nodraw. but not area_portals. would area portals make my map run alot faster. can you give me a link to a tutorial on how to use area portals.

 

[Z3r0_Skull]

ok i made a few areaportals, but when I open a door, before I walk through it thiers nothin in the next room, and when I walk through it every thing appers. what do I do?

 

[POWDERKEG]

stop givin the guy a hard time at least he is trying....hanging bodies...looks fun!
