More new pics with some props and starting to add the small details. Check out the nasty restroom. I will make the dustmotes bigger in there because u cant even see them

[QTesla]

Looking better

[Mr. Darkness]

Looks much better now. Keep working

2nd pic, the point_spotlight goes down only. I think you would better remove it.

i will see what I can change around it to make it look better, if not I will remove it

[Pufulet]

Removed point_spotlight

added 3d skybox and using the 3d skybox fog to blend with the skybox so u dont exactly see where it ends.

I also added a tower in the new area

[Messy]

Seems nice.

[Mr. Darkness]

Make the 3d skybox longer. I can see its end.

[Pufulet]

First Pic : Zomfgaawdzors!!! ICEBERGS!!!!

Secound: New area nearly completed

Third: An overall view of what has been done so far. there will be another area which will involve the elevator or whatever to get up and down from the oil rig. Who knows even a helipad or some other stuff ( Bottom Left is where it will be )

The traditional elevator

- Floodlight needs tweaking

- Will make elevator look like an elevator ( control panel / wires / buttons )

- Temporary boat until elevator finishes

- Of course elevator is dead

- Trigger hurt down there

[Pufulet]

- Fixed Flood light

- Elevator nearly done

- Crashed boat D;

- Done another room

- More icebergs and bigger!

- Cant see where the water ends! yay for realism!

Looks like a pretty cool map, keep up the good work man.

[Mr. Darkness]

Very nice!

Now you would need to rotate the angel of some iceberg textures, so it really looks awesome. Well done with other stuff

[Botervloot]

Quite nice.

Though some of it's architecture is a little weird. Are they floating on the water?

[Mr. Darkness]

Quite nice.

He didnt add supports yet. He will.

[Doubleedge]

Yeah, it would be a bit wierd without supports with the whole place floating on water but yeah, they're being made atleast.

[Pufulet]

yeah the supports will be made lastly, if anybody can give an idea so I dont make square metal ugly supports I would really appreciate it

[Mr. Darkness]

yeah the supports will be made lastly, if anybody can give an idea so I dont make square metal ugly supports I would really appreciate it

dont forget to make them Func_detail

[Pufulet]

For the supports im using a prop_static halflife 2 support.

I am experimenting with new sound entities. Instead of using ambient_generic i think the soundscape is much more usefull.

-trigger soundscape

-env_soundscape_triggerable

The water has a trigger_hurt - Freeze

and the bottom elevator has a trigger_hurt aswell - Crush

Also if anybody seen that now the max trigger dmg is 10 to avoid people using that to get on the bottom elevator I made it so its too high for them to climb and they will freeze to death

[Pufulet]

Everything seems to be going smoothly.

[EmRA]

Why is water and the sky the same color?

Looks unpleasant to eye imo.

[Mr. Darkness]

That should be like that. The water always reflects sky. Its the source engine.

[Pufulet]

Nearly done. Making the snow trigger blocks on the outside was a pain though

[Pufulet]

Nearly done. Trying to compile the final version soon but the Portal Flow is a bitch

[Pufulet]

The final installment of the ambush series!

A cold arctic theme with a custom skybox and snow. I made it so not like in v2 you cant see the end of the water.

What this has that the other 2 dont:

The occasional wind sound outside using soundscapes

A more oilrig feel combined with the arctic theme.

No healthmachine, fully pakratted and tested by 2 other people.

Lots more detail and more areas to cade.

Hope you enjoy it!

contact me on steam if you have a problem with the map:

Thanks to NourFreeman and Mr.Darkness for testing it!
