Hmm… tricky this subject be, I’ll only give you advice about the outdoor world, as I cant say much about the indoors one.

Right, you should think about making you drive way alot bigger, cars need to go in two directions, and if you trying to build a massive city like new york or such major city then you’ll need a road the size for 4 lanes

Seen here

the sidewalk needs to be bigger too, your ones look about the size of an old Irish village footpath

you’re buildings are undoubtedly bland, to say it in the nicest matter, it looks like a giant corridor, perhaps making them into singular buildings with varied sizes with low detailed roof props like water tanks and vent shafts

Examples

And giving each building a unique set of textures to boot, or well 4 to 6 variants at least.

Perhaps more lamp posts with mailboxes, trash cans and random pieces of rubbish in the sidewalks, and also graffiti on the walls and some properly placed decals.

Perhaps fixing the green effect of the outdoors environments too, it seems Gordon is in the matrix.

I’ll post more advice when i think of some more.

hey, thanks for advice good one I will consider them and waiting to hear from you soon. I mostly worked on entities because they are hard to make and I really wonder what do you guys think about them. This version is kind a 0.5 not 1.0 so I have lots of job to do.

#7

SO… MUCH… YELLOW!!!

#8

yea im saying again this is my test just for trying triggers for striders and soldiers attacks in this maps im not looked the textures next update i will work them… need some wait

I thoght this thread was long dead…

#11

Well, it’s much better this way than starting a whole new thread again.

Your mapping is much better in your BM-inspired pics, but your outdoors one needs a lot of work, and some of the architecture in the Tunnels level looks askew. But, practice makes perfect.

#12

you need a LOT of practice.
Both in your mapping AND your english.

#13

What he said.

Try adding decals, adding props that make sense to that area & look this up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObtDnPlX30I it makes your level look so much better for outdoors.

#14

The ceilings are way too low.

And why are you fighting combine in Black Mesa?

#15

Because 99% of the people who make custom maps tend to either not know, or disregard plot.

#16

like this?

#17

thanks

im working and not stoping this days im opened hl2 maps and said what the…???

i cant understand too much things but im trying learn all of them then maybe i can make quality maps

and decals yes im added “tunnels” map decals but another maps need some decals…

i will try add more tree’s more mountain and some displacement but
im working on this days “first danger black mesa” so character most escape the facility next i will add vartiguant’s i remember they enemy on hl1

combines i will make friend with us becouse this game need some tactics and soldier help (not civil’s)

they dont know who is this man and they not care they just going kill him but then something most happen for ally im thinking for this

this mod going like hl1 mod “blue shift” :smiley:

whatever thanks for advice

#18

I think the BM forums are older than latoon.

No shit.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
