I am working on my largest and most detailed map ever! It will have no mapping errors at all. It utilizes the whole HL world (well, nearly all...a small area around edge cannot be mapped...). It shall have secrets too :p . I will be posting pictures of the map every once and a while! I have a full design of it fully drawn out with some secrets, for I plan on adding more later!

The theme will most likely be sandy/rocky/Egyptian.


:laff:

err NO!! i am NOT using a terrain generater! i have NEVER used a terrain generator (well once a while ago, but not for a whole or major/big part of a map)

NONE OF THIS MAP WILL BE TERRAIN GENERATED!

ill use the -sparse parameter to get around that...it adds time to compile so i can have as many patches i need

aha no big difference, one requires skill, one doesnt, this will result in something called pride, its what seperates people who like to map and those who love to map


and max, it will take about a month or two....

I dont think that it is that easy to create a map of this size!!!
How high do you think would the r_speeds be?
you would have to make the viewable distance very high, about 9000!
And you would have to scale the textures very much!
plus, you would not be able to put in much details, so that map would be pretty empty.

My suggestion would be to either size it down or do the same as esf_cell_day/night does and just make it into parts (in cell day it is like a four leaf clover so you don't' see all the polies at once) making its r_speeds average just under 1000 (from my quick look)
