I am hoping some of you guys will D\L my map at: http://babaganoosh.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=4&lid=18
I have run it and it seems to be ok except for a couple of spots. Please feel free to use it and let me Know if you have any suggestions as to how make it run better. If you can get it to run better ...Cool! Just let me know you did it, and give me credit for the design.

Please upload some screenies. I will download it anyways. But most people want to see screenies before they download the map.
Thanks,

The textures you have used are quite big, and bluring. You want things to be smaller and crsip. Aswell the bricks, you cannot pick them up. And. There appears to be no way to enter the building. Perhaps you should put a ladder at the side of the building near the health charger, going up to the roof. Or what I would do. Have a ladder to a ledge around the side of the building, then another ladder at the other end of the ledge to the roof.

Yeah, I thought of that looking at it last night. Strange how things get seen after the fact. Go ahead and modify it if you want to and I'll make some improvements with myself. Hope you liked it As far as textures go I couldn't really make them smaller without having them look funny and not matching the size of the walls and such. At least I couldn't get them to, so if you can go ahead and make them.
I will be making improv's for awhile so it will be updated.

Okay. Give me the vmf or whatever the file is called. I will make changes to it. I will change the textures, and some more props.

One of the problems I've notcied is lag when you are in the large open areas and I'm not sure how this can be remedied. I don't know much about area-portals or such to stop rendering all that's behind things.

Mapster- What do you mean by more detail? If you mean more props, I left alot out because this place was abandoned for years and pretty stripped out when we used to hang out around there. I wanted it to look fairly like it was, maybe I should add more.

Why is there a huge building (3dskybox) in an apparently empty environment?

 

[Mechagodzilla]

There's something up with the scale. A lot of the stuff is nearly twice as large as it ought to be there.

The lighting is okay, but I'm seeing very few props, static or otherwise. Combined with the huge size of the place, it looks very strange.

Great Map nice and big well done

Had a quick look even though I dont post much on here, I play alot of DM and have a shit load of modders maps.....so here's my 2 cents

I can seams in the distance? which was quite annoying in places only outdoors I think maybe cause it was so dark it was showing them up a bit more than usual.....which leads me too.........

Is it surposed to be that dark out side?? pitch black in places, I guess ppl can can there setting up brighter but indoors was perfect, nice and atmospheric.....

Yer maybe a few more props on shop shelves just the odd can or smthing even though as a kid it looked like that, add a few more for effect, its called artistic licence.....

overall keep up the good/hard work, I no I tried and gave up making maps prefer testing and playing them.....

 

[sinkoman]

Yeah, more props, PLEASE.

I don't really play DM that much, but I can tell you, DM without props is pretty much CSS with HL2 guns. The physics add a whole new dimension to the gameplay (people making little forts out of tables and stuff) and without props, there's not physics.

The total outside scale of the map is one problem with rendering. That's where I am having a lag prob. As far as building scale and such ..being my first map and I was little when we used to goof around at this place...I guess it's scaled to how I remember it. Dunno, something else to work on. I will try to install more props, I had alot more originally but had trouble getting it to run smoothly. I am looking at putting in some area-portals and such to help, but I am not too familiar with them yet
I am thinking of closing off some more of the windows to keep the lighting the same and to brighten up the outside some, I tend to like a darker outside for the atmosphere it gives. And yeah the seams are driving me nuts.
There was a tall building around it as I remember or maybe a grain elevator or such. How about a water tower instead then?
I do have a newer map coming out soon.

 

[Madcow2]

I open it up in winrar, and it says application has failed, then it says to re-install it, and i do, but it still wont work....:|

 

[sgtfly]

I'll check it, you'll probably have to re-download it.

 

[sgtfly]

If anyone wants to fix and modify the map go ahead, as my new schedule has made it almost impossible for me to do more with it. Just give me credit for the idea, thanks.
