dm_facility_01 Map Update

[npstaind]

A few weeks ago I made a thread on the begginings of my map.(didn't want to go to the old thread) So Im making a new one, and I have some pics of what Ive acomplished. www.natesmetal.150m.com/HALF-LIFE-MAP.html
btw, those of you who didnt read the other thread, i know someone already made a facilty map. Ive seen it, im just tryin to make a different/better version. This is "THE" last update before its done, so any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Judging from the miniature screenshots, I'm not impressed.

well i cant see much from the tiny screens, but even at this tiny size they look infinitely better than this piece of crap so i wouldnt be talking if i were you dead-inside

edit: ah wait, by right clicking on the image in mozilla i can see fullsize. From what i can see it looks ok, but you need to work on the geometry (its a bit too blocky) and the lighting. Otherwise reasonable.

 

[npstaind]

ouch that level is horrible, yeah i know most of the level is blocky, ill work on that after i get done the whole level.

Doesn't compare to Johnny's, sorry

[blinking halo]

the fact that you rag his off, while your own is shite

hahaha i was SO thinking of that

 

[Dead-Inside]

Argh, nevermind. (Deleted post).

It has potential. I would definitly fix the lighting and then go from there. I think you made it to narrow, you need to widen it up.

 

[Faulk_Wulf]

Definately looks nice. I loved Golden Eye, and I also played "Falictiy" (Facility) on Perfect Dark. I do think some of it is too narrow. If I remember right- it was about two people wide in GE/PD. However I have not played either recently, so don't quote me on that.

Personal note: The map looks dark and gritty, almost sinister. (Because of your lighting.) Is this your intention? Or is that just how it ended up? I remember the Facility having a much lighter feeling to it. (Though this was back in N64 days, so lighting wasn't anything to stare at.) This is just a personal obvservation. If you were going for a darker/more sinister feel- then I think you did an awesome job. If you're trying to make this identical to the game version, then I think it needs to be brighter, and have some lighter colors. (Puke-pastel-green seems to be the color I recall the most, and off-white cement walls.)

These are just my observations. As Lazy_Moron said: It has potential. Just ignore the nay-sayers. It's obvious you know what you're doing.

Actually yes, that was my intention. I saw the dm_facility map (after i started mine) and saw that he did a nice job, but too...non-exciting for my taste. I actually was inspired to do the "dark, sinister" look after playing doom III. I think that it could make a nice deathmatch environment.

 

[Faulk_Wulf]

*gives him a cookie*

Good job then.

Blinking Halo, stop making such retarded posts. Glasshouse was what you call one of those "fun maps" where the point isn't to blow a player away with outstanding geometically assymetrical composition and fluid color lighting, but to give the player something to do on his free time.

Btw, the map does look a little dark. I dunno what you were thinking when you came up with the idea that Doom III maps would be a good DM atmosphere, but I would advise to re-think things.

 

[fearian]

wow! serioualy nice work for a first map! youve definatly improved from what I last saw.

btw, anyone using mozilla can see the images at full by right clicking them and selecting 'veiw image'

if your using internet explorer then ur in league with satan. have fun with that.

I havn't seen any other posts by blinking halo but that one was spot on.

What are you talking about? Having a somewhat dark environment would be awesome. Yes Doom III style darkness is a little much but...honestly I get tired of all these "nice" looking maps. Almost every server i go on with custom maps they are very bright and not very evil looking. So i decided to change the feel of things and go for a dark evil look. (and besides, using the darkness to your advantage adds a little strategy to gameplay....but thats just me, think what you want)
