Use simplier brushes for the path into the ship. And work on texture blending the terrain.

Try to have patches of grass\bald spots everywhere instead of dividing the map into 3 different texture sections. Like this map.

I've been waiting for a good 'Babidi's Ship' map. It looks good so far. I hope the rest comes out great as well. Keep up the good work!

thank you all, i've been working on it still, and i might start on the inside of the ship. now and just worry about the texture matching later.

That Cellarena map has good textures though, i like it.
Mabe ill im the guy that made it, and take a few pointers from him.
:)

I'll Continue To Progess On This Map, and It May Take A While

well, i've fixed all errors except.....

hlbsp: Error: ReadSurfs (line 26953): 32 > MAXPOINTS
This is caused by a face with too many verticies (typically found on end-caps of high-poly cylinders)

omg, this is very nerve racking, and very agrivating.
ERRORS ARE A MAPPERS WORST FEARS
Especially when there are tons of polys to choose from...
--------------------
Well it was basically the drop=through

....Back to the prefab workshop.........................

Well your hint is "(typically found on end-caps of high-poly cylinders)", it probably means your little entrance has to be simplier.

man, the lightning sux! its worse! and you said you used a terrain generator for parts of the map which is a big noooo ... get skills instead of using terrain generators
1/10
it might take longer if youre not used to it but its worth learning.

The night-type lighting isn't necessarily bad, but the skybox doesn't go with it at all. You need a skybox to suit the lighting. I wouldn't rely on using terrain generators and prefabs in your maps, either. The mountains also look a little messy and out of place, and you should raise the map's max viewable distance, I can see where the view is clipped.

Ok guys, lets not morph this into something it shouldn't. If he says he didn't use a terrain generator, then he didn't use it. If you feel he did use a terrain generator then just don't download the map. If he did use a terrain generator, it's to his own loss, so lets just drop this subject.

And please mysticssjgoku4, by using caps you don't help your situation, when they see caps, they are more willing to say something back at you. So just don't use them unless you're starting a sentence :p.

Well, now the map, I think it's a bit bland, you have that big space in the middle with nothing there. In addition, your terrain is very pointy and comes to alot of flat edges. My suggestion is to let the terrain flow instead of going into a big point when transitioning the terrain. You also need to raise the Max Viewable Distance so that we can see your whole map instead of getting it cut off. Another thing you may want to change is your signature, it's very out of place, just find a way to easter egg it so people have to find it ;). If you change some of this and add the other things DragonDude and DJ-Ready were saying it will vastly improve your map.

Do not call a teammember a foo. Especially not Dj-Ready.
