:siren:IMPORTANT: You need Episode 2 to play this!!!:siren:
Notes
Ok, so I've gotten some feedback on what good and what's bad about this map. I'm sorry I haven't posted an update in a while, my source SDK wasn't working properly for a while. But now that I have fixed it I plan to get to ork again on this project.
Now a lot of people have complained about the repetative textures and blocky rooms. So I have decided that the next update will be completely on making the rooms more detailed and fixing all the repetative textures.

Please post any tips, comments, and stuff.

Alot of repeating textures and needs better textures
-
Looks nice! Needs some less repetetive textures (possibly decals or something to break it) although honestly I could care less so long as the map is fun to play on! Overall looks good so far
-
Looks fun, however, as everyone else said, those textures need to be replaced
-
This is the only time I will ever use the following line, as it actually seems appropriate in this situation:
Looks good, but work on the textures a little bit.
-
So what if I dramatically increased the size/scale of the textures on the walls where it's repeating too much?
-
Pic 4 is smexy
-
woah, yay! I'm excited finally a nice combine theme construct map! :biggrin: combine theme is coming along nice, textures need some work, if you search "cit" in the textures maybe some more stuff you could use, or decals maybe. Also that doorway in the first picture is very nice. Good work!
-
You could increase the scale, however that comes at the cost of quality. You can break it up with decals, different architecture stylings on the walls (pillars/jutting pieces of wall that have a slightly different/matching texture) or with models of pipes/combine stuff (monitors, energy ball tubes, whatever).
-
Sounds good. I'll fix that. Anything else I need to fix/add? :banjo:
-
Oh and picture 5, why is there a dirt texture as a wall?
-
That's concrete, innit?
-
Yeah, that's concrete not dirt...
-
Looks like dirt to me.
-
Use custom textures if you have to, because spamming Combine Textures everywhere won't do much to break repetitive texture work.
-
Yes, I've gotten that point already and have been working on that. Any other suggestions other than the texture fixes?
-
Come on! work on this again! (he's not gone, his last activity = week ago.)
-
I like it, but it's a bit too empty
-
Read the post dates people.
-
I like it. Just very empty
-
Picture 4 has way too many lights, take out 1 in between each of them.
EDIT
That's better
-
I came in here expecting a Construct remake... Was pleasantly surprised.
-
Read my post. (As i said when i posted it, he was online a week ago, thats a good sign)
-
Doesn't mean he is still working on the map.
-
Seems fun
-
Textures abruptly start and stop, blocky, disliking the lighting, no source for the combine energy field, needs more displacements...
-
Episode 2 and combine textures?
Make a rebel base instead of a combine one. Rebel bases are usually more interesting and allow more creativity.
The download should be in an addon format.
The lighting's quite rubbish and unrealistic. I don't know about you, but spamming lamps won't make your map very pro-ish.
The map itself is empty. I know it's suppose to be a construct map, but i just can not stand walking through empty rooms and corridors. If you go for a themed map, stick with it to the end.
Also, the map is big and filled with useless spaces
3D skybox would do quite nicely, thank you.
Above that, this map is quite good. It feels good playing it, and that's something that a lot of maps (even popular ones) don't achieve.
-
Bro... The thread is from last year.
-
Oh shit I just realised as well, crap.
-
Yeah sorry, my hammer broke and wont work no matter how many times I reinstall it.
Thank you for the constructive criticism and I would like to make a rebel map. Also this is my first large map I have ever done, and I am self admittedly no good at lighting.
-
Blocky. Horrible lighting
Brushwork is quite interesting in few places.
-
This doesn't need Episode Two. Go back and do it again.
-
No, but I have decided to work on it again since I got a working version of Source SDK finally.
-
Holy crap, a GOOD necrobump. Can't wait to see the finished map
-
If that means that you are going to place some more efford in texturing, details etc. then FUCK YES !
If that actually means more blocky rooms with bad texturing then GOD NO!
-
Heh, no I do not plan on more boring blocky rooms. In the next release will be almost the same rooms and such with all the textures properly aligned, sized, etc. I'll also be adding some static props for scenery and additional brushwork will be done to spice it up a bit. I have already started working on the arena part again.
-
I thought that I should upload my original plans for this map. I drew them out a while back and still have them. So here are the "blueprints for gm_overstruct as a whole:
As you can see, I haven't even mapped out half of what I had originally planned. So I want your guys' opinion. Should I continue with my original plans to make this map extraordinarily huge or should I do something different?
