What kind of signatures do you make?

[Pufulet]

What kind of signatures do you make?

Mainly getting an abstract image adding some images that you want or your name and using some nice effects and blending tools. But I can do themes like Mr.Darkness has a more dark thing with a candle or just a simple abstract like Messy's.

I can try to do any if I can.

[stalker-dude(nl)]

Pretty cool.

If I ever need a new one,

I'll come to you for some advice or help.

[Corby]

Photoshop isn't that hard to learn.

[deathbycrowbar]

I personally am not a big fan of your signatures.

Your maps are cool though.

By the way, the dump map was made very original. But the only thing about that camping... Good that poison zonbies do heal now.

[Pufulet]

What has been done:

-Tweaked the sky light

-Added some more lights

-Changed the ugly toxic water to a canals water

-Added some no collide garbage

-Added some decals

What to expect next:

-More Light Tweaking

-Work on the upper area + More areas from there

-Work on the dustmotes than come from the sky

[Holy]

Cool Map, bro.

yes.Dump is a quite good map but it needs several fixes and tweakss and changes, thats why I called it v1 so I might release v2 after I work on hazard.

Oh btw any mapper know how to fix the problem where sometimes a prop_static or dynamic turns completely black but when u put flashlight it goes back to normal? something do to with it being inside walls or to do with lighting.

What about when the water turns invisible and makes all the walls that its surrounding or covering go nodraw?

The water thing:

I'm not sure if you're talking about this problem,

but I think it means that you've got a LEAK.

hmm.. thx ill check it out later see if it is a leak

[Pufulet]

Im still trying to determine the cause of the leak but I wil find it.

A few little problems aswell but I belive they can be easily fixed.

The problems are the leak that makes the water invisible and see through the map.

Black gate/fence ( last pic )

black texture on the bottom of the fence window but you can see the proper texture when you use flashlight on it.

Edit: Never mind thx for the help Clav

Anyone help me find where exactly the leak is. I put in bold what is probably is but I cant find it to fix it!

Lol'd at the last one

can you imagine having an airboat on zs?

[Pufulet]

As you can see I have added more areas, and another canal area thats a work in progress. I will always make sure that in each of these main areas there is 2 ways to get there to avoid camping

[Pufulet]

Here are some more pictures. As you can see im kinda done with the basic structure and will be moving on to detail/props and furthur light changes/tweaks.

I also made a birds eye view of the map and I want to show you guys the possible spawns and basicly just a map with detail and stuff.

[CyriusG]

Looks great but the fences on the last picture looks a bit out of place.

[Mr. Darkness]

Looks Very nice.

1 thing.

You need to make the func_dustmotes be stright right to the loght so it looks more realystic.

[Pufulet]

Tweaked the dustmotes like Darkness said and added more detail.
