This one is one of my best maps so far because it might change the gameplay a bit if the zs verison does not cut the npcs I spawned. (not zombies or soldiers or headcrabs) Watch out where your're walking. :>

[Notte]

Why all mappers for zs UBER PRO Its only one mapper for Iw except clavus, and he still work on his first map

[Toaster]

Wow. Looks Nice!

[Ywa]

Because IW is played way less.

Edit

And works fine with most CSS and HL2DM maps.

True, if it had not been for that I was so stupid and lazy, I should have learned Hammer

env_sprite entities. Just look for a tutorial on interlopers.net.

[Deluvas]

I'll check this one, too, along with your last map (place Crates/Spawns, etc, and most likely add it to the cycle)

[Hundred2]

NPC's?

Awesome. instead of hiding from zombies you hide from those angry 5 Combine Soldiers you pissed off.

Sounds sweet

Good job on the detailing!

Looks really cool.

[Mr. Darkness]

[Stelk]

Thx guys. You're keep inspiring me to make more cool maps. The light entitiy is env_lightglow not env_sprite.

They look better with Css (well, some hl2dm maps go good too). I dont like de_train only because some effects are missing (like warghoul smell).

But this is not to this map this is offtopic.

Anyway.

I dont know how can i make my light effects be changed. Like in De_dust2 or De_nuke. When you come in, all the light outside is more shine, but when you come out, everything is balanced. How do I do like that?

P.S: I read the tutorials, tryed, but failed. Cant get it.

wow stelk, it rlly looks nice and it has that ZS environment.

it's stunning

[Mr. Darkness]

Already tested it.

Hmm the water texture has some errors.

But all other things are awesome

those cannisters and the dropship make the game look cool.

loved the map. Good job!

[Botervloot]

A few questions from a fellow mapper:

- How long do you work on these maps? (average)

- A few of your maps are rather, "pingy" (give me a lower fps. Drasticly sometimes). Do you optimise? And how?

[Stelk]

The fellow mapper asks me?

[Clavus]

The fellow mapper asks me?

Very likely.

[Mr. Darkness]

Lolwut.

I have a question too. (Asked that already)

How to make like that:

When you are inside of a house (for example), everything is shine outside, but when you come out, everything is darker. Do i have to do it with aeroportals + triggers?

(yes again comment)

I've played it now in garry's mod and I like it even more.

First I stepped into the lighthouse where I shot the barnicle with the RPG D:

You've done a really good job

How do you get those hills on the other side of the lake/water?

That's something i still don't get.

Anyway good job and my map is coming soon to

Its just the skybox. Although there is a way to make similar mountains/hills or whatever just like in ep2.

About the 2 questions how long do I work on my maps.. well it rly depends how long I work on the map per day.

About the seconde question, I can say that I am not that ogod in optimizing but 1 of the reason the maps lags is that I put too much props and details in it that makes it run slower in Gmod. Gmod = FPS killer.

But this one should not cause any fps drop cuz I used areaportals.
