But I'm trying it anyway! I'm trying to make a deathmatch map in a day for this evening in an attempt to get something released instead of rotting in the background.

Lost an early layout to a crash, however I attempted to rebuild it from memory. I'll keep you all updated...

It's got two floors, here's a screeny:

Look interesting, good luck!

Rome wasnt built in a day, but mettys map could be!

I've now done the walls, and I'm onto the ceiling. This is actually quite tricky because I'm having to build it around the 1st floor, so I can't simply copy and paste the floor to the roof for later tweaking.

Heh, cool Metty, maybe you should theme it around Rome just for the lolz

Some shots after compiling. Think claustrophobic bunker of some kind:

looks ok to me

Looking good. don't forget to spam the map with physics objects!

Some more progress, but it's not going as fast as I would like. Details take time. ¬¬

I've got the main layout done, but I need to add: physics objects, ammo etc, realistic lights, architectural details.

Looking great Met! Maybe we can use this on Friday?

Looking pretty good, maybe a bit bland atm, but I'm sure you'll ix that.

Also, you've probably noticed, but the floor textures don't line up ont he first pic.

If you have noticed, ignore me

Floor textures are damned hard to align. The fact you don't fall through it is enough for me for now. I'll fix it as one of the last things (on a rather large list).

Fair enough, just thought I'd give you a heads up if they were easy.

Estimated release time: Around just before 9, I'll be watching Heroes though, so I'll send it to either Si or Skillers via x-fire.

Known issues:
1. 'Your textures suck' - screw you dude, I made this in a day and I'm not that good with hammer.
2. 'You can walk through your lights noob' - that's because the ceiling is low and if I made them solid you'd complain that you got stuck on them.
3. 'Omg liek your map is so bland' - Same answer as 1.


EDIT: Note those are not aimed at anyone in particular it's just me trying to be funny and probably failing.

Those were clearly aimed at me



Nah, it looks like a good map, I'd like to see you continue you it after today to get it really nice.

I might continue it if people like it. I'm trying to put physics objects in, but the problem is putting them in so that they don't look out of place.

Just played it, it's quite a fun map celing is a little low though...

I'm going to bring out an optimised version 2, by no drawing the outside, as it causes me to lag.

I would appreciate recommendations and constructive criticism.

I wouldn't have as many combine balls (alt fire with the pulse rifle) or explosive because the low celing make them overpowered.

I'll remove some of the machine gun grenades and some of the combine balls. I will however add in some normal nades and possibly add a few more explosive barrels. If you see someone chuck a nade or barrel, you grab it with the grav gun or run. It's intended to result in death anyway.
