Yo, I know that I am not the best mapper here for SURE! I know i am alright. Nothing special. But I was wondering who actually is the best mapper here? If you are a mapper post your screen shots of your maps. Lets see who should run this thread :D

This map is a bit of a bad example because its not finished

i.e. the bridges come to a stop

Ow and another thing. The map isn't really suposed to make sense :D its a CS map. I was making it tactical.

26-09-2003, 01:06 AM

Shinobi, is obviously in the lead :)

I might post some of mine..nut i havent really done anything serious

oh and this should be contrained to HL only... Worldcraft/hammer is way different that MOH mapping, so you cant compare..besides MOH got a lot more polys and stuf to play with....so i wondt think its fair to ven post those pics here...IMHO! :)

Papau

26-09-2003, 06:21 AM

Sorry, but I deleted my HL maps a long time ago. I just wanted to participate in a friendly discussion. I'm pretty sure this discussion won't prove anything. Besides, MOH may be a much more competent engine, but there aren't many mappers who can create huge outdoor scenes like I can and still deliver performance. Hell, check my face counts (wt). I'm not using anything you don't have in HL. Just triangle brushes and transparent textures.

That isn't true about HL maps only having 800 polys to play with. There are a lot of things that aren't counted in the HL display, like models. Everything is counted in the Q3 display. I've done HL maps with more faces than my swamp map and they still performed.

Papau

26-09-2003, 06:40 AM

I would also point out that skill with the Q3 engine is much more significant for HL2 than skill with the HL engine. The HL2 engine shares a great deal of commonality with Q3 and absolutely none with HL. The corner-shooter military/industrial compex/storage facility style of mapping so common to HL is not going to cut it in HL2.

not true,, wpoly count is map brushes while epoly counts the polies from external program models (3dsmax maya etc....)

in my case I use one tank model from dod which i removing due to authenticity issues, the tank is only like 200 poly anyways

except for the fact taht HL1 and HL2 use the SAME EDITOR

I map for Q3 games (rtcw) and Unreal engine games,, I just enjoy mapping for hl the most,, and it's not preference because I learned to map with halflife last,, obviously the engine sucks now,, but it's still surprisingly competitive

If you really want to prepare for HL2 then start learning XSI

There isn't that much difference between Worldcraft and Radiant and there will be a version of Radiant for HL2. I already know how to model. If I would have known you guys were going to get all upset over some images that weren't from HL, I wouldn't have bothered. I was just trying to show you something a little different. Screw it, this place isn't worth it.

wow man you took that a bit personally there, I wasnt calling you out, just commenting on the points you made,,,

since valve has built a new engine from the ground up it doesnt make sense to compare it to quake based engines anymore

IchI

26-09-2003, 12:31 PM

urrrr. I dunno if u noticed but the hl2 engine works the same as the hl11 engine. Just its a lot better. You can notice this straight away by the way the people move etc.... I would say its definatly more like the hl1 engine than the quake3 engine.

26-09-2003, 01:57 PM

How do you judge a map by looking at screenshots? Doesen't the true look and feel of it lie in actaully playing it? So saying that someone here is in the 'lead' by looking at one of his screenshots is a bit over the mountain dont you think?

Tho some do look nice, I've seen and made better. I'm not being big headed, only voicing my opinion and what I'm capable of making myself.

26-09-2003, 02:18 PM

ye well Dux I wasn't actually been serious when I started the thread. Tbh its basiclly just a place to show off your work. Also anyone could say they are an l33t mapper. Tbh u might be u might not be. I don't care LOL. At the end of the day the forum was just been filled up with people asking questions about mapping and it was boring. So I decided to actually put some work on it.

Thats a classic issue when it comes to mapping. Especially on forums. When I was crazy about mapping a few years ago, I'd post my work on forums, at first it was frustrating that everyone was judging yer map based on the eye-candy factor, even though it could be kick-arse for gameplay. On the other hand, there's not much else to comment on other than the eye appeal when all your showing them is screenshots.

the reason so many people made quake comparisons is because the HL1 engine is based off the quake engine, so you can make a lot of comparisons,, as far as I can tell, HL2 is built from the ground up

I'm going to say this one more time, then I'm out of here. The ONLY engines that have ever used BSP, VIS and RAD are Quake engines. All other engine designers do visibility and lighting real-time, because the current graphics cards can do it in hardware. They use back culling and view casting for visibility. No overhead, no huge vis compiles, no detail and vis brushes to worry about. It's much more efficient and much less manpower intensive. SS2, Q4/D3, Torque, BF1942 and UT200x all use this technique.

So, I ask you, if you are designing a new engine from scratch, why would you continue to use BSP, VIS and RAD? HL2 uses Q3 textures, shaders and mesh formats. HL2 uses BSP, VIS and RAD. If HL2 isn't i based on Q3, it's its damn twin brother. The only difference I see between Q3 and HL2 is full implementation of Directx9 functions.

I thought, given the size of these forums, I'd find some mappers more knowledgable about the latest engines and able to recognize HL2 for what it is. It would make going forward so much easier.

Incidently, the images I showed of the swamp and the level with the street car were early shots of two of the HL2 maps I was going to do. I used the MOHAA engine because it was the closest one I could find to what HL2 will be (other flavors of Q3 don't render multiple layers of transparencies as well).

Ichi, I want to thank you for starting this thread. I thought it was a good place to showcase what I was working on. I should have known better. Too many narrow minds.

I'll be returning to my Q3 game based forums now. Sorry for the bother.

Valve have already said HL2 feature occlusion culling and real time lighting (not direcly, but implied)...

Well, the only games to actually have programs called BSP, VIS and RAD are Quake games, but plenty of engines have used the BSP (binary space partition) method of rendering. Many have also used static lighting.

You obvisouly don't know much about HL2. Valve wanted it to be able to run on DX6 hardware, that means it can't rely on the features and power of modern graphics cards to do visibility calculations and realtime lighting.

Oh come on, you have to take things less seriously. It's only a forum, you have to take things with a pinch of salt. No-one meant any offense, no-one said it had to be HL1 maps, so just hold your own instead of going of to sulk.

It's obvious VALVe decided to use their knowledge of the Quake engines when they wrote Source. There's no denying that.

Most engines are using BSP trees to determine draw order and portal based visibility culling. Q1/Q2/Q3/HL even Unreal, Unreal2 and DooM III are using BSP trees and a portal based PVS. All games with static lightmaps needs a way of calculating them in advance and this step is called RAD in the Q/HL world. Dunno what Unreal mappers call it.

In D3 howerver there doesn't exist a VIS and RAD step in the compile process as those things are done real time in the engine.

For you ppl interested in 3D engines visit one of the many game programming pages on the net like www.gamedev.net, www.gamasutra.com and others.

One final post. In other forums you suggest that HL2 is very similar to Q3 and people immediately know what you are talking about. Here, you get arguments why it isn't. Rather than embracing knowledge that may benefit you, you treat it as blasphamy. I never once said HL2 was a bad engine, regardless of what it's based on, yet you feel you have to defend it. I decry the use of BSP, VIS and RAD, because they are incredibly time consuming. You will find that out for yourselves. I was looking for a HL/HL2 forum where mappers had knowledge beyond the 5 year old engine they are used to. This isn't it. Goodbye.

I was going to try and start mapping for doom3 since the silly people who leaked out the e3 demo (ATI) managed to leak the mapping tools with it. All it takes is a bit of deleting of files etc... But actually mapping for doom3 looks wayyyy to confusing for me. I will stick to my hl2/2 and 3dsmax :D maybe some XSI every now and then :D

Yas it needs alot of work really.
Many things would have been fixed months ago, but I can't use anything. I already made totally new palms and shit, but I can't add em, but I'll go to my friends house and build some on it sometime.
also, am I breaking any laws of any sort if I send the updated file that goes with dod, for transparent models?
Or is that patch already released for halflife?
This would really let me fix this damn map, making it look tons better.
But I'll get back to you on this when I will begin building on it again, peace~~~~~

The map is a CS map, and its pretty detailed, but I sat my personal limit at 800 w-polys, even though I think with to days standards you could have like 1000-1200 wp's and still have high FPS, at least over here. I really dont play CS, haven played it for like 1 year now, and still last time I played it was just a little on a LAN with my friends. But there really are no other HL mod that is so big and are semi-realistic with modern guns :/ The map is heavily inspired from Raven Shield and was from HL2, but I removed that part cause it didnt fit in the map. (Did my own version of that prison screen, that was the first seen on the net I think.)

Hey hipshot...those pics are pretty good...i think its the textures that do it, they are nice and detailed.

Hipshot

Certainly, thats just one good way to make HL levels look better, since you cant have to high LOD else. This map I made not just to look good, but to have good gameplay to.

Islands map I was making for TFC, never got around to finishing it, but new masked texture models would make it a lot easier to do. (All those palm trees and bushes are made from brushes)

Haha, thats is SO cool you know. That jetfighter mod seems really cool, and that TFC map to. You are my new idol :)

yeah, the flying mod was a lot of fun. It died eventually because of trouble trying to make a proper sized clipping hull for the planes, but we had tons of fun in the early betas although it usually ended with one team spawn camping the other teams airbase and bombing them before they can get off the runway (that's why I put most of the runway underground in that map). I still have the last build on my harddrive, and I'd play it MP with other people except that the wonid's are coded into it so I can't

Very nice work guys. If I can get my maps to compile, I will post. Unless you want to see a Hammer shot...

P.S. If anyone has basic modelling skills think you could help me turn that palm tree foliage into a model?

i think id be a decent all-around mapper if i had better concepts. but for some reason i always find myself making tight-spaced houses/condos.

Im not saying im the best, but i am one of the Greater ones i can tell ya!

I even wrote poetry about mapping, which im not going to post so its get stealed and people use it to enter mods....because its beautiful!

124 posts and you think we're going to believe that?

I have a hard time understanding what poetry you could ever write about mapping. "So... I stroke my hammer, and it spun. It was, indeed, compiling". Yes, good poetry indeed.

Postcounts doesnt tell who a person is, only geek are looking for high post counts.....

And you can write poetry about ANYTHING.....if you understand it.

Don't even try to lecture me about poetry.

About the postcount, it tells me how long and how active he's been here. Coming in here with ONLY 124 posts and bragging your ass off, with no credentials, and he probably hasn't even compared himself to the masses, it just doesn't make for a good story (for him!).

Ravioli

14-04-2005, 06:37 PM

When did i say i am bragging my ass off. I visit this form EVERY DAY, but that doesnt meen i have to post anything.

Also, why are you being so aggressive against me? Have i done something wrong? Jesus people, be nice in this community, i thought all hl fans where friends?

Guess im not welcome here, because i have a low post-count......which meen you are mean to new people here.....this is exackly why i dont post much, sence people attack you from everywhere.

No, of course not. You just seriously believe you're one of the best mappers out there even though you haven't shown us any of your work nor have I seen it elsewhere.

That would be alright if you kept it to yourself, but oh god, why do you have to bring it up here? It makes me seriously doubt your credibility.

Also, posting on the forums means contributing, you should try it.
