Early in the works, but I thought id let you guys who enjoyed the first dam map know. The dam top is going to be narrower and the dam not quite so vaste.. but im placing multiple routes to top and bottom, buildings and several floors inside the dam.

I took some screenies so you can get a feel for it.

Looks nice, great concept - watch your texturing tho', the grass and especially the dam base textures don't repeat well.
 
Haha, I remember the day a bunch of us got together to beta test your first dam map :D

Good old days.
 
Good job on the update, it looks fantastic. Downloading :)
 
lol, you can download it when its done, yes. still a fair way to go yet, ive got the interior to do, other ladders, models, some extra surface geometry, a skybox panorama, weapons, spawn points etc... its about 50% done at the moment.

Posting = no

Working = yes

Infamy = Beta tester
 
ill let you know when Ive got the beta map ready for you guys to test :)
 
Anyone else here my mother using the "Hoover" :D

Anyway, yes it's good but you know source can make MUCH more impressive dams, scale wise if you are using the hoover dam as a concept you have made it WAY to small, and don't tell me source can't handel it ;)

If you want to impress people make it bigger! hl1 can make dams of such scale, which are pritty unrealistic, the reson the dam would be curved is because of it's great height compared to it's lenght.

Anyway good effort keep it up.
 
Looking real good, would be interested in giving it a go :)

Good work! :thumbs:
 
real sorry about this but Im gonna have to scrap this one, Im fuming right now, my dad has just redone the computer because of 'internet problems' he didnt inform me, and its all gone :( .. all my 3Dstudio max work aswell, and drawings,, he just wasnt thinking straight.. i wish that was a valid excuse.. so excuse me while i go and put myself back together so i can start rebuilding everything that i just lost..
 
looks fecking awesome ... well done! :D

Move out.
 
okay, this is the concept for what Im hoping will redeem my lost piece of work

infact id like this to be a really awsome map, so if anybody with map making skills is interested in putting a little team together to build this map, which I was thinking could constitute a single player map aswell perhaps, planned out correctley (a bit like the lost coast level?).... its going to need custom models, some nice brush prefabs for out buildings and a hudge map layout with proper cliff walkways and a combine themed dam.

give us a tinkle if your interested.
 
That's breath-taking!

I'm a crummy mapper, or i would offer to help.

I'm a famous nit-picker with very good eyes though, so my premature offer to test (and to run a test server) stands.
 
try and enlist Creamator666's help, He is a very skilled mapper!
 
That is teh ub3r.

Hope that despite the setback you can make it as good as it can be.
 
Dude, that concept looks even better than your original :) can't wait for updates
 
well.... if anybody is interested I canbring back the old barrel models....
and the concept is very impressing, nice work.
the 1st thing I tought about when I saw it was Lost Coast!
 
here are a few early build shots.. I thought i might aswell start :).

and to show the size, the black things on the dam are metrocops,

mhhh.......
Very nice... my idea is that you should make it as a mini loast coast... add some soliders on the top... make a huge lake on the top and fill it with leeches....
than maybe throw some garbege and junk at the bottom.... like helicopter parts and mybe some special berrels I can give you....
some tunnels in the bootom of the dam and put zombies in there.
the level will be some thing like you start on the bottom and start going in the tunnels and going up the dam to the top.
then you get to the top and the dam explodes and you fall......
well the ending needs some work...
but this is a great concept!
i like your work very much!
Keep it up :E
 
mhhh
man I love it!
I am going to send you some models.....
in a PM.
edit: Do HL2 SP prop models work in DM, or Ill have to recompile them?
 
Yeah it really does look pretty impressive. I reckon it wouldn't look out of place if it was put in the middle of the highway level from the single player (I sadly forgot it's name)
 
mhhhhhh
well ill send the models any way...
ok sent you the models!
:)
 
cheers guys,, and thanks Inflame :) I'll have a play with those, if they dont work in DM then im not too fussed, you cant have that many physics objects in DM anyway for performance sake so it shouldnt matter.
 
this are moe statik props only some models like the barrels are good for phisics..
But if they wont work It wont be hard for me to recompile them for MP
 
update, i wasnt too sure about what to do with the top of the dam, Im keeping in mind the single player map, so im creating areas where combine soldiers and cops can come from as you move up and across the Dam,, the level will start you at the base , working your way across the sand, possibly fighting antlions... enemies will guide you to the climb upto the dam, which I want to make challenging. then you make your way across the dam fight a helicopter or gunship perhaps when you reach the other side, then you eventually move into the Dam.. and the map will end somewhere inside after some interior fighting. The MP map will be pretty much the same except with a few more ledges, and alternate routes.

Your screens give me lustful thoughts.

I had a great time on your first dm_dam. Dying for this one!

VERY nice.

About your dad wiping the comp or whatnot, don't feel that bad. It's a bad thing to keep work you've done, actually, it bogs you down with a feeling that you've done something good and why should you do anything else?

If it were up to me, anything made the first time should be scrapped completely and forced to remake it from scratch. It's a hell of a lot better the 2nd or third time around.
