Half Life 2 Deathmatch Map: Smallbox

[dabadguy4273]

make either a map from Halo or Left 4 Dead :D thank you =D

[ThePhlubs]

You need a bit of woek with environments, lighting, and texturing. I would recommend working on lighting first of all.

[IXTps3]

TROOPO stretta

[sparky28000]

Everybody who says it's good must be joking. I hope you don't go on making maps like this becouse IT SUCKS. nuff' said.

[Kruemo]

@sparky28000 you're totally right, this map is really bad.

No lightning, randomly placed textures (like there is a brick wall and 2m later the brick wall transforms into a wooden wall wtf?)

And it's too small... even for a smallbox!

[Therealguymins]

Furniture, better, less repeating textures, windows/skybox, maybe another floor with a broken ceiling, Glass, I could name more.

[GisleAune]

Are you still working on this?

I can see that you just started away making rooms and holes, what you need to do is to plan out everything and remember

* Lighting is important

* Use props

* Vary texture usage

* Use doors

* Make sure it's not too small, what if your map was used on a 32 player server.

[majsbullen]

Please, use lightning. This looks like rubbish, sorry.

[Zerocombatant]

hmmmmm how about a wall that you can walk through like a secret easter egg and place eberything in the game there like in some maps that are already on the game when you get it

but im not telling which maps or the locations xD

[DayVour]

Looks like a death trap :D

[Esuld]

This Is A Pretty Good Map Actually....

Friends On Steam?

What's Ur Steam Name???

[maslab]

Steam name is maslab.

And I'll probably take this down. I had to delete it when I formatted my hard drive.

[KieranJF77]

im a map maker too. one thing i found out that looks really good is making the wall look broken (i.e using clipping tool to make jagged places in the walls

)

[maslab]

I'll have to remember that, thanks :)

[KieranJF77]

it looks really good

[maslab]

Thanks.

[KieranJF77]

wow i got your comment 21 seconds after you posted it...

[Esuld]

Check Out My Vids... Once I Get Them Finished. I Created A GREAT Map, But Fraps Doesn't Wan't To Record it For Some Reason...

[Esuld]

Why Are There Pig Tracks On The ceiling?

[maslab]

There aren't any.

Where do you see them?

[Esuld]

In The Simpsons Movie.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

This Just Kinda Reminded me of it.

It's A Good idea Though... U Should Do It

[tDude666]

is this hammer editor?

[maslab]

It was made in the Hammer editor, yes.

[tDude666]

i can't wait to get the sdk my self!^^

[maslab]

Do you have HL2?

[tDude666]

not yet... but i did a lot with a friends acount! (he knows that!!!)

[maslab]

What's cool is that once you buy a Source game you get the SDK free.

[tDude666]

^^yeah!

Valve are Awesome!

They're just Awesome!!!^^

[maslab]

Unless its TF2 DLC.

[tDude666]

good to know!

havn't played that one, yet!

[maslab]

Try it, its still deliciously fun.

[tDude666]

i will!

but first i'll play HL2 again and then all the episodes....

anyway, thx for the tipp!

[Esuld]

HL2 IS TEH BESTTTTTT

[howlingcat07]

U call this "shit" a "map" ?

[maslab]

It was in progress for a reason.

I'm not even working on it anymore.

And you call that "shit" "english"?

[HagieHagson]

nice map so far, i need to learn how to make maps, then i will try to make one

[JoovaL]

hmm...i would not like this map because it would brobably be hard as crap at multiplayer.

:D

but nice anyways!

PS.what program do you use?(link)

[maslab]

I use the Hammer editor.

[vissertrailers]

Where to download/buy it?

[maslab]

The map?

Haven't finished.

[SupaBoi95]

is it finished now???

[maslab]

I stopped working on it. I have better stuff to do right now.

[moviehungry]

you got to get steam then go to tools section, then downlowd SDK source.

Its free too

[Totyi008]

there shouldnt be too much corridors. its not good. just look at some of the normal maps. they have bigger rooms, so ppl can move in them.

anyway its good, and if its ready (cause i saw the date when u uploaded the video :) ) i would see it

[maslab]

Okay, thanks for the advice. I've actually haven't worked on it at all in several months, and its nowhere near completion, but I would be glad to share it with you when I'm done.

[Crusher688]

I Don't Want to Be rude, but theirs no nice way to put this, it sucks.

[maslab]

That's okay, I'm just looking for opinions. Any ways you can name to make it better?

Mind you, I made this in about half an hour with no predesign.

[Crusher688]

i see, Well it aint bad, i work on one map for like 4 hrs and it wont compile, i let it sit and compile for 18 hrs, and i HAD to stop it to let ppl on comp

[maslab]

Now that just sucks.

[Crusher688]

yes it does becuase..

that was an Awsome map lol

[maslab]

teh noes!

[tskrainert]

If you're still working on it, try adding a large room to balance the gameplay. So far it looks like a series of tiny passages and cubic rooms which will, in almost any case, take the fun out of the game. So try to put something different like one big hall in it as well.

Anyway, keep mapping!

[maslab]

Thanks for the advice. I've got a lot going on so I haven't been working on it, but my friends and I are working on a Halo 3 machinima, so that's more likely.

[humantestdummy]

what program do you use to make these mapes? hammer? and by the way cool map

[maslab]

Yeah. If you have steam, open the "your games" page, then go to tools, and the Hammer editor is in the app called Source SDK.

[undeadpriest999]

ok, im no mapper, so im not sure if you can do this but, maybe add objects like crates ???

and btw, it looks like an awsome map :D

[maslab]

Yes, you can.

I actually have not worked on it in a while, but I plan on working on it more soon.
