Not too bad, is it gonna be like a tunnel network and stuff?, well remember to add alot of light entities and make the radius of them as big as possible, otherwise it's dark.
And remember skybox!

 

[Hamppu]

ya, its supposed to be like an tunner network thingy ..

all the light are looking pretty ine, i fixed some of them.. and i've been planning of making an roof there and maybe a bridge over to the other side .. the skybox is the only probl :x i dunno how to add one, and i have no idea where to get one ^^

 

[Raistlin_Majere]

mesa could give you the guides if you are able to read them
oh, adn add half-life.wad, then the prefabs ( which is evil and shouldn't get used in your upcoming maps) will get textures. hooray!

(ask me about basic mapping stuff! lol)

 

[imkongkong]

i'd say make your own wads and just include the textures only you want

download wally's texture editor i believe and make your own, it's much easier and more organized =)

 

[Ouchyz]

Would it be possible to make a map with

Milkshape 3d Program??

Would it be possible to make a map with

Milkshape 3d Program??

Not really, it would require a lot of bounding boxes, and the result of that would be a lot of clipping and floating. Models only come in handy as environmental stuff and such, but not whole maps.

It ain't all bad, for a first map. First of all, you should consider if it's practical. Small rooms for CS-like mods, is a winner, but small rooms in ESF is pretty much a bad idea. With the roll/hit bug still going on this would be endlessy abused in your map as it has many objects a player could hit when being hit. So, might I ask what kind of map it is, I mean for what kind of mod :3 ?

 

[Adaptus]

No. Milkshape is for modelling.

For making maps for ESF, you will need Valve's Hammer program.

You can find it here

 

[Ouchyz]

Well i have valve hammer but... when i go to my half-life/esf folder i cant find a single texture there, i can evenind any in textures folder...


whats wronge with it?

 

[Hamppu]

Well i desined this map for cs .. and i've been thinging about making the upcoming maps for cs .. i got some great ideas that i want to put in action but first gotta get all the basics to work

 

[Cold Steel]

In that case, nice start ^^ A cs map requires plenty of places to hide which should very accessible. So try to avoid making camping places.

 

[Raistlin_Majere]

hide meant in taking cover, not hiding for camping i suppose? campermaps isnt liked very much

 

[movento]

OMG,the one and only lazy Hamppu started mapping! Not bad man,maybe you could add some variation to it,like a open place or something.keep it up,maybe one day you'l get into you're favorite mod,NNC =D

 

[Raistlin_Majere]

it is yodamod! lol

 

[donnierisk]

YODA MOD, YEAH!
Oh, nice map, I have milkshape but i've never used it before in my life, lol, downloaded it a few years ago I think, maybe I should use it to make models for my maps....

Okay, so you're saying it's for cs? just remember to make stairs and stuff, so that the people can climb up the high places.

 

[Hamppu]

ahahahaha xDD yes yes ma darlin yes yes :3

well i had some major problmes with map .. when i upgraded it, saved and tryed to test it, i could only be able to open da last "non"upgraded map . :F and i couldn't be able to make stairs xD but thats just tehh noob me ^^ gotta find 'em ..

then, i've been planning of making a map of my school, it should be pretty fun :3

 

[donnierisk]

Make stairs by making alot of brushes next to each other, like in tournament maps where the stands are(those stairs where people sit), then make them smaller.

 

[Grega]

Actualy its easier to just make a diagonal surface and texture the stairs on XD

Gives you more space on other details

 

[donnierisk]

Oh, lol, never did that before, but won't your guy slide down then?which textures can be used to do that?
