i'm now working on a new map, based on my real neighborhood. it includes my house and my neighbor's house. i have only finished my house and some of the backyard so far

modes:
- koth the swingset is the hill
- 1flag
-2flag
- dm

features:
-toilet that opens to a hidden sewer pipe
-working garage, treadmill, and trampoline
-music that plays from the radios (will put a zip file on when the map is done since its such a long download)

Interesting areas, but your choice of textures is extremely bad. Try to make your textures match the object you're texturing more. While the slide may BE yellow, a bright (think: eyes-burning-out bright) yellow metal texture on a slanted, flat, brush doesn't constitute that much of a slide.

i wanted to use textures everyone already had to avoid lengthening the already long download time

You should also light the map before you take screenshots.

People would rather play a map that takes them an extra minute to download than one that looks ugly.
Also, big empty spaces in a map is bad. Also, small cramped spaces are bad. It looks like most of the places in your map are either one or the other.

How do you move around in your house? Do you trip much?

did anyone realize the map isnt done?? of course im not gonna leave the whole yard blank, it's gonna have gardens, trees etc.

and plus, i dont have any textures to use besides the original paintball textures because all of them seem to be copyrighted, and if i made my own... well it would be worse trust me

the house seems to play fine on the inside, everything is slightly bigger than it should be in real life, to allow more space.

and jitspoe, i think im gonna start working on lighting today, ive never actually lit a map before

Keep in mind, though, that in this game you walk at 20MPH.

sorry for being a newb but what do you mean by scale up and how would i do that? $:-\$

jitspoe · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2006, 02:11:34 PM »

In bsp: hit "s" to bring up the surface dialog. There are "sx" and "sy" properties for the scale of x and y. 1.0 is the normal value. Scale it to 2.0 to make it twice as big. That big open area is probably what's killing you. Also, if you have a leak, or put a box around your map to fix a leak, you will have a crapload of surface that nobody sees, so you need to fix that properly. I'd start by scaling up the large surfaces (grass and whatnot). Sometimes you have to use the -chop parameter when compiling to reduce the lighting quality but decrease the patches needed.
