The map i'm working on for the comp, still got loads to do, little teaser screenshot below, i'd show you more but i'm still building it all...

Yup, from that shot it looks like it might be pretty sweet.

Care to share some more screenshots even tho its not finished?
An overhead shot maybe to get an idea of layout.

The reflections from the sun, or whatever those bright patches are look maybe a little extreme, and may be unneeded in a deathmatch map.
 
hell no. thats gorgeous. cant wait, hope i get to play it someday. :)
 
Cooler eh? someone here called kouler killed me a fair few times in hl2dm you know :P
 
The reflections u mentioned are actually lights that are on the building next to you in the pic..not reflections in the water...the water is cool tho...ill upload some more shots when i've made the rest look a bit nicer ;)
 
The other side of the rooftop, the building to the right is the main building, kind of a prison building but totally different to lockdown...this is a view of the main yard as it is at the mo...

Click to expand...

Cooler = slang for prison ;) Twas either that or 'clink', but cooler is just....cooler
 
Just been reading through the rules again, didn't realise the maps have to be submitted via post on a CD all the way to the USA...does anyone know how long it takes for post to get from UK --> USA and how much it would probably cost? I don't want to miss the submission date... :\
 
Do registered and priority post and should be there in less than a week - also lookin quite GREAT!! Can't wait to play...
 
Thanks...bit bad that anyone not in the US gets a week less to mess around with tho :(
 
i agree - im in the same situation (although there was a postal strike v.recently which could cause more hassle and its around christmas/new years so more hassle) :(
 
Best looking map in my opinion so far, hope it's fun to play to.

EDIT: btw did you use cheap water or expensive? hard to see.. but it looks better then cheap.
 
Using expensive water but most of the water you can see in that pic is 3D skybox - i havent added islands or anything to it yet tho
 
Security room im workin on right now, theres nothing down the stairs in these screenshots as, well, i havent built anything there yet...

It's looking really nice man. Can't wait till we are able to play it.
 
Sorry 4 lack of updates, been busy lately with other stuff...maps still looking a bit bare, its about 40 percent complete (gotta make everything inside the building(s) still...some more early shots:

Doubt ill have time to release a beta before it has to be sent off :\ Damm time restraints eh
 
looks very nice! i´m just a mapping novice and every time i see such good work i feel like trashing my playground for adults.
btw. i think maps that are made for Valve´s competition may not be published for multiplayer testing. well, maybe i´m rememembering wrong. it´d be a pity if the map wouldn't be allowed in the contest.
 
Nah the rules state that maps can be released to the public and entered into the comp just not before dec 1st. Not much chance of that happening then eh :)
 
why are there filing cabinets (first screenshot) in a little fenced area outside?

looks excellent otherwise
 
You mean across the water? Not filing cabinets :p They're like electrical box thingies to help with pumping water around the base (theres pipes connected to them)...ill have a fiddle they're lookin a bit boxy...
 
I doubt ill have time, goin back to uni on the 4th even tho i dont start back till the 10th so i have 6 days to finish it up before i have to post it all the way to the US...thats if i can get it to compile...dont think ill have much time to work on it here at home y'see :\
 
Very very nice.

Can you tell me anything about Perfect Dark: Source too. Is there a site for it?
 
Nope not yet, theres nothing to it, regarding the website the project leader EatChildren said:

"No website yet. Computer related problems caused some delays. However, a Flash site should be hosted by hl2files.com sometime soon."

As far as i know we are starting the project this month, when the competition and all the holidays and stuff are out of the way...so ill be starting on one of the maps in a week or so...expect some screens a couple of weeks after that depending on how much i get done and how quick my m8 is at making textures :)

There'll be a post with more information as soon as we have it
 
UPDATE

Final version of map is building now, gonna be an all nighter..dont even know how fast it'll run ive never built it on full before...fingers crossed...if its fine ill send it off to the comp and release it so should be out soon :)

Replied to your thread "Optimizing Outdoors"
 
Cheers, i optimised it as much as i could before setting it building at 4pm yesterday, its still going, its on ..9. so it shouldnt be too long...hope it doesnt lag but even if it does ill send it off anyway (wouldve wasted my time otherwise) and keep working on it before i release to the community
