I was bored and wanted to make a map, so I made a construct map. Also, the water is kinda buggy, no matter what texture it is, it has no top texture and just shows the sky.

C&C please.

uhh download plz

Fix the water and tweak the lighting so it's a bit more interesting, otherwise prepare for massive flaming/shitstorms. Doesn't look bad though, and the booster thingy looks cool.

[PieClock]

At least it's not just a retexture of gm_construct, which I was expecting. Also it sounds like the cause of the water problem is a leak.

[Diealready]

added a download, and Im gonna try and fix the water.

[Dosycool]

Looks good!
I think the water texture bug might only be on your computer, because my bro was making a map on his computer and the water texture always did the same thing as yours, then I tried it on my computer and the water worked fine.
I'll test it out 2 see if it works properly :P

Edit: Didn't work :(

[Black0ut]

The water problem is called a leak.

That.

A leak in the skybox, that is. As in, it's not 100% sealed.

I used the Interlopers compile checker and there wasnt any thing about a leak in the map.

Ill recompile it and check it again though..

[cccritical]

I'd recommend making the skybox a hollowed-out cube (only if it's still beta!) that loosely fits the playing area but doesn't touch it, then putting invisibles or clips around the field, so you know there are no leaks and people can't get out.

Why is there grass if this was supposed to be a dev themed map? IMHO you should make the grass a dev texture, maybe even a green colored one.

good idea actually :v


Ill make a dev glass texture as well.

Edit: Heres the compile log, no leaks.

Leaf 278 (portal 1117) with too many portals. Use vbsp -glview to compile, then glview -portal -portalhighlight X or -leafhighlight L to view the problem.

VVIS is crashing. The map needs more optimization.

Ok, im going to say this because it needs to be said. Mappers are getting lazy. It started off ok with city freerun because it was meant to be plain and focus on parkour simmilar to mirrors edge. However when were getting dev textured construct maps im becoming concerned. In a construct map we want the setting to be pleaseant and visually appealing (which is likely why maps like gm_mobenix do so well).

Please, the map looks good, but texture it for the sake of my sanity, lest I paint my room in bright orange and grey grids.

[laptopman]

Mappers are not getting lazy.
People need to start somewhere.
This is a much better start than most first maps.
It looks good, but the fact that it is in dev textures makes it not so great

This is not the same person as the person who made that map...

[Unib5]

Brush work is great however.

But this is exactly what im saying, sure I would rather have this than crappy fullbright boxes however I worried people may think making all maps like this is fine hence the "lazy part" standards for good maps are impressively high. I just dont want these to slip.

[Diealready]

I would have textured it if I wanted to. I made it dev because I like the dev textures, nothing more than that.

I did the exact same thing for my oify map but the water is exactly the same, you can see through the level at all the rooms and sectors below you! It's not a leak but I don't know what it is.

[Die_Hard]

wait, wasn't there a Dev_Construct map already?

[Valdor]

Bah, We are running out of original names :P

[BJK]

You just managed to make a construct map look even worse.

What's up? Every time I try to talk to you in Steam I get no response.

That's a very invalid argument, I actually prefer dev textures. When they're used right it really adds a nice look to the map.

[The Unnamed]

I am personally very fond of DEV textures so I give you props for that, but I find that this map is still a little bland for my liking, add a few more details, add some light_spot entities. This has quite a bit of potential.

Cheers

[TheLolrus]

I like dev textures too. I think that if you could make a dev texture of everything in this map, it could be a good map in other ways (I just can't think of what ways right now.) Dev grass, dev-themed windows and a dev-style skybox. Not all real dev, just made to look like a placeholder.
