Ok, that looks awesome. Now you need to convert your very-high polygon model to a less-than-10k polygon model and make use of normal mapping, right?

I don't know if I explained correctly, because my bad english: some sides of these rocks and many other parts of the terrain in this map are not being watched never from the point of view of players, so these polygons and textures could be avoided, if I'm right. The map is so beautiful, but...

Just played with three friends, looks very good! keep up the good work! I'll try to spot a few minor things to help you to improve your cool map: - There are some missing shadowmaps in these stairs at center of image. - The shadowmaps near the right from these woodtrunks could be...

I think this thread is a good idea, I would apreciate a top ten hl2dm fanmade maps sticky thread. I didn't played so many fanmade levels yet, but dm_bounce_b2 is a very good remake, and yesterday played for hours with my friends :) bounce beta2

Well, I think the HL1DM maps should be remade, not just ported. Yesterday I've seen screenshots from a work in progress crossfire map in *************, and I think it looks ugly, because the very simple geometry, so everything looks "blocky", also the textures are not upgraded nor lightmaps...

I'm happy too, so there are two lawsuits? I thought all was the same judgement. I just hope all Valve next products will come from Activision.

Chickens in Italy.

Well, I dunno is gonna be DOD:S. That couldn't be a surprise since all the silver steam owners payed and all of us know about. If we apply the same rule that couldn't be the CS:S update because isn't a surprise, since Valve stated they are working on levels/models. A surprise is a...

You should remember that if you have nvidia hardware sets "mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware" to 0 just because it makes the stuttering thing worse. They are working on a nvidia solution, be patient.

Well, I think is too early to announce HL3 yet. When I think about "surprise" I expect something touchable for the HL2 owners, not just an announcement of a new product. In that case Valve should say: "Next week we will be releasing the Source SDK, along with an announcement for the community"...

its time for a surprise poll :) mine are: - A valve supported mod team releases the first serious mod (free). - High Dinamic Range rendering mode. - Extra textures pack for bigass graphic cards. - Extra stuff for CS:S (models, maps, etc). - Extra surprising stuff in SDK other than...

I use this at launch options, in steam hl2 properties: -heapsize 256000 +cl_smooth 0 +sv_forcepreload 1 +cl_forcepreload 1 +snd_mixahead 0.4 -console I have 512mb of ram, and doesnt solve the problem but helps a lot for me and other three friends, using high textures etc. Note you should...

Once more doom3 engine got pwned because isn't good for mods... Is there any doom3 mod yet, other than simply modify weapons and flashlights?

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread but for those people blaming the fact of the activation, what do you prefer? - Once time online activation. - Get a secure untouchable steam account. or - Anti-copy protection like starforce 3, so you cant backup your own game (without ilegal...

Hell yeah really nice :thumbs: Valve should release the SDK even in beta stage. Doesn't matter if the first SDK builds have a few bugs, surely these mods teams can't wait to start modding :laugh:
