Need map testing

D

Guest
I have a new map that is nearly perfect, but I want to have some testing in HL2DM before I release a final version. Can anyone help with this, or perhaps know of someone who can help, say, with a good server that they can load it on or something?
 
I could use some testing. This is my first real map.
Thanks

I can upload it onto my website for you, but you will need to email it to me.
 
I'v looked at the map. Looks a very nice 2v2 map.

The white skirting/window/door frame needs to be made to look older (like the house), I think a wood texture would be good.

On the edge of the cliffs (that the house is on) you could just cut the edge off diagnoly to smooth the edge, if you get me.

Use a beeter water texture if you can to get a nice reflection. Also if you know how to get waves, that would finish the look.
 
can you post a link for everyone else to download it?

Oh, and it is a small map, but it can handle more than 4 people...
 
LOL, ok. It was just a guestimate :p I'l post a link as soon as it is uploaded.

Thats an ok first map. Keep making more. You will get better. Bet to let you know alot of people in these forums are pretty mean. Also im pretty sure flippage was just being sarcastic.

Another AIM map... it makes me wonder if people even try to learn about mapping, hammer and other things. If people actually worry about what their map looks like. Please, for the love of god, dont make a box with random shit scattered all over and call it an AIM map, make an atempt to make something. The world, the interent, and Lennie Briscoe does not need another 15 minute hackjob looking map. Just because it's your first doesnt give it the right to suck, try looking at the map, the tools and put some effort into making something.

ktxhz @ u ultimate_venom

OH MY HOW IHAVE WANTED TO SAY THAT FOR SO LONG.

It may be harsh, but tell me that's not the truth people. :X Either way, tut tut, back on topic... I just needed to get that off my chest. :[

yes, it is that way. if you cant do any better than a fricken box, maybe mapping isnt for you....if you cant care more about a map....jeeze... I mean, how hard is it to make a map with a theme? if i made a killbox for my first map, which i didnt, i wouldnt release it. how many people released their trulyfirst map? why would you....anyways, the real point i am posting here is, i have been hosting this guys map for a while (drew's) on my server 68.43.213.161:27015, now i dont leave it up 24/7, still havent gotten a ded machine, but just wanted to tell you the ip is 68.43.213.161:27015. if you want to play goto 68.43.213.161:27015 because his map is there, ip 68.43.213.161:27015....
:rolleyes: there you go...now go ( to 68.43.213.161:27015 )

you know what guys... fa-q
this was a first map to test if i can make something. my plans arnt just to make small shity maps. give me a few weeks and ill have something worthwhile, so STFU
 
don't diss someone just because they make an aim_ or fy_ map... I prefer the gameplay of aim and fy maps, and lots of other people do too.

Is it used an excuse for crummy mapping abilities? Yes, but that's beside the point.


...Of course, that map does look like absolute shite, TBA.
 
I'm with Phisionary on this. fy maps are real maps. Of course they won't be used in CAL league and there will probably be no official fy maps. Doesn't mean you are not a mapper if you make a fy map. The mapper needs different skills to do a fy map. I just wanted to say that even if you make a killbox, it's something you have done. I don't know to wich point you can say a map is a killbox but if I take fy_snow for example (my favorite map), the fun factor is very important in that map, even if it's not very detailed there's still alot of possibilities and strategies plus they help alot for you aim.

Having said that, I agree with everyone that ultimate_venom's map is not top quality, it needs alot of changes. Also, ultimate_venom, don't post STFU posts, some might have said harsh comments but take them seriously, think about that for a second, they're just comments and suggestions, take what you want from what we say. But remember this: when you'll need help to make something in a future map, they will be the same people who will try to help, so you'd better not post things like in your last post, ask what you can change in the map and we will try to help and give you some advices.

Thanks
 
^ in addition, make your own post :eek: that was the biggest part of your problem in the first place....
 
Yeah um, when is anyone going to give me any feedback on MY MAP?
 
Hehehe. that's what happens with thread hijacks. :p


The interior wall and floor textures don't seem to fit, IMO. Especially in comparison to that white window/door thing.

The overall design seems a bit bland. Hard to tell without seeing it, but it doesn't look like a lot of gameplay potential. One small house, one shed, and a big flat spot.

Of course, when I play DM, I usually play 16 player maps aand wish it was a lot more, so maybe it's just not my style, in that regards....
 
yeah from what i see it looks like there should be more "stuff" in it. perhaps more houses? make a tiny town or somethin. on the visual end of it, however, i think you did a terrific job. the white trim doesnt really fit though. looks too clean. put on a texture that looks dirtier. that would be more convincing. good work though.
 
^ ^ ^
See, thats exatly what I put (apart from the too small bit).

I think this is a nice map.
 
sure ill test your map but first i have to say, my first map... saying it sucked and need work was fine, but going and saying because i made ONE just ONE aim map even i a f*cking n00b and should never map again. that doesnt belong here. so id appreciate it if you did put me down for trying something easy on my first run.
im done with this little disagreement and wont be posting in map testing for a while at least.
