A new map I just started working on. Still pretty basic, I haven’t gotten around to adding any detail yet.
need moar light. I can’t see a thing on those screenies.
Doubled the brightness of all the lights in the map, and will probably add more lights. there are tons more rooms than the ones in the screenshots, but they are completely empty so far so i won’t make screenies for them until I get done with adding detail to them.
you should keep a dark version. gmod needs moar dark maps imo.
and its looking pretty good there btw.
Except its a DM map, you know.
and dm maps can go in gmod.
yeah I know. its amazing.
No shit, I know HL2 DM is the base in hammer for gm maps, but gmod is only fun on BIG and OPEN maps, and neither of those words come to mind when I think of “dungeon”.
Latest screenie.
I think I’ll make the snowcastle map for gmod because one of the reasons I haven’t released it is because the openness would cause bad gameplay. What should I do to make it Gmod compatible? I gmod and have never used it so I have no idea what to do to the map.
nothing if its a source map it is able to go into G-mod.
It needs traps- like a guillotine, that when people walk under, it crashes down and kills them instantly if another player activates a button. And torches that actually have fames in them.
The problem with moveable parts, automated or trigered like elevators or traps, is that the action has to go from a computer, to the server, then to the other computers, therefore creating lags.
Then have a Datacore like death room? Turning friction off and letting people slide into those is always fun.
the fire is hard to see because the lights are the exact same color as the fire. They’re easier to see in the actual game. I want to make a guillatine abut it would take modeling to look good and I really don’t feel like learning that right now.
What’s everybody’s opinion on the cylindrical chandelier?
Looks amazing with the shadows. How long to compile? 
Doubled the time with just that room. This will take forever when I start running vis. :’(
Now for the endless detail work, I have 7 rooms with nothing in them. :fffuuu:
Any suggestions?
A vat a boiling oil, which upon entrance grants the user instant and humiliating death. Also a forge with grav gun shootable tools.
Shame I do not have DM, I would play that map all the time 
do you have an ATI or NVIDIA card
links lead to a way to download HL2: DM for free if you either of them.
ATI
NVIDIA
Except it doesn’t give you the SDK
checks What the hell? Dammit. My hammer version of Serenity will have to stay single player then… No, I am not going to spend 5 dollars for the SDK, Valve.
…Ok, maybe sometime else.
