Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Here is what Pierres Cathedral should look like if it were made in source.....with the inside opened up!!! I told you it would work Pierre.

Let it be known this is for the KZMOD im still working on...this is one of 3 maps ive produced for it so far(actually 4)

feast your eyes on kz_cathedral

The lights hanging from the ceiling on the inside were meant to be chandeliers....but until i find a modeler talented enough to do that.....well....yeah.

the MP5 is no longer in the mod....its only a climbing tool thats not yet done :)

there is also no 3d sky yet.......these pics are a month old really

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Soulfather, yer a god :)

a suggestion... the interior... you deleted the 2 rows of arches on the side and replaced them with a low ceiling, I suppose the arches were stressing the engine too much... but now the ceiling is too *cough* flat, so to say. You should put some decoration between these pillars.

Did you keep the wooden stuff under the roof ? :)

I wish I had time to play with all that Source mapping stuff :)

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

i did not keep the wood things....they would not benefit the kz style of the map at all.

yes im still wondering what to do with that flat part :) it might even be something similar to the way you had it but without the second floor part....just some of those arches there between the columns

i just placed a flying pidgeon in the map...and changed all those gay hanging industrial lights to CHANDELIERS!

looks frickin hot like that

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Wow. o_O

I can't wait to see how it turns out when you're finished. I recently tried out kz_faw_cathedral_e, and only one word came to mind: impossible. I'm quite unskilled in the art of jumping. :o Maybe you could release a non-kz version of this new map when you're done?

Either way, it's beautiful. Nice work!

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

thanks..you should try kz_faw_cathedral_h....not even the best pr0s can finish the map without checkpoint systems :)

but i made it this way to give them a challenge. i can finish easy one myself nowaydays

jumping good takes a lot of practice :)

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

looks great .... looks like you havnt lost your talent on the octoberfest :P

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

hehehe yeah man im still drunk :)

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Needs retextured, though.

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Looks great SF!

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

... ... ... NICE

:P

yeah get some updated textures and add more poly's ;) It will look great

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

i not retexturing anything...im not adding polies because its near the limit as it is. There are already 25 custom textures in this piece....what would you change?

this is what it looks like right now tho:

There are now 3 places where you will be breaking the nice windows to get inside on the whole path around the cathedral. those gay shortcuts are history hehe.
I also added some nice lighting effects, a flying pidgeon and my originally wanted chandeliers for the inside instead of those ugly industrial hanginig lights....now looking 10 times better.
Enjoy

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

awesomely beautiful 8o

I'm eager to jump around this one

I still miss the arches on both sides... do you think you can do something ?

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

i really am at my limits.....of jumpability...i got it back down from giving me performance pops by getting rid of some of the extra lights i had all over the inside.......the models were knocking up the performance.

if you see the weay the columns are built...it would take a lot of rebuilding as well to get more arches there....but tis the fps that are biting at me not to make this as real as i, of course, could make it.

its not that i dont want it to look better :)

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Looks nice Soulfather. I like the lighting. Maybe you could share them with me for the cs_goth_cathedral ;)

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

very nice tim glad to see your work :)

got any other HL2 / HL 1 screenies ???

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

i do actually Matt nice to see you too :)

hmm....an outdoor jump map...nothing special tho..this is a conversion of a map i didnt make but was asked to convert it. i just made things look more rounded and gave it a complete retexture and that little "building" at the top was completely redone by me....do not look the same

i am not at all done with this map but its jump ready:

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

wow so in the valve hammer editor you already measured how many units for the type of jumps that you needa do in tha map ( example : short jump med long etc )

that structure at the top is cool u going to add any more stories or other variaous stuff around the map ???

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

no, the map is nearly finished....and its pretty near limits as it is....simply because the whole map is viewable...its a pretty short course as it was in the cs version. i simply have to fix a few small things and get the soundscapes working right.

so heres our first tool model. this is a typical mountain climbers tool. See how the shine on the silver part of it is actually different in each pic....it reflects the environment too !
Ic35t0rm is wicked good at what he is doing and we will have a really nice set of tools and player models from him :)
heres the pics:

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

whoaaa

and.. $100 question: what's its real use ?

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Heyyo,

To climb those pesky cliffs, Cathedrals, and mountains of dead corpses that lay in your way to the other side of the map... lol. ya know what would be cool? if you could stick a dead body with this and use it as a shield like the CS 1.6 riot shield... I know, I'mma freak.. I'll start filling out papers to sending myself to the nearest insane asylum within the hour. :P

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

hehe

its actual singular use, is to break things that break.

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

wow yes that looks very nice indeed... how much difference is their between HL 1 wpoly/epoly to the HL 2 wpoly/epoly ???

couse the maps seem to be very large ??? did u have much trouble moving over to the new engine ???

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

it took me a while to get used to but now im pr0?
we can have MUCH more detail than before.....this woinderful func_detail is the best thing a mapper could have.....it replaces the func_Wall and is also much more powerful than this. and its no longer measured in polies as before. theres a budget window with graphs.....you will see by watching the grahp as you look around where and WHAT things are expensive to have in the map.

pretty cool, illl show you some screens of yet a new map im working on here this last week.....its an industrial map thats about 70% finshed.

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Superb, as usuals.

One thing you always tend to miss in your maps are the decorations on the walls. On the first pic you should put two or three posters on them, or boards, tags, dirt or whatever (personally I'd see industrial accident prevention posters, such as "wear masks to be safe" etc). I say you always tend to miss it because I noticed that in other maps, after being wondering for a while what could cause that bizarre impression that despite the realism of the scene something was missing.

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

Yep, that entity should never have been named func_wall.

Looks really good!

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

very nice

so now as mappers u can actually put detail ??? still working out all the new shortcuts and such ???

Re: Source Cathedral pics!!
 

ok first Pierre:

ive added a lot of decals...even to the first picture its right in the middle saying caution hehe.....but yes these are older screens and ive added more but i dont have "posters".

as with all my maps i suppose i concentrate on other forms of details the posters area good idea tho.....quality control and shit :)

@Zacker: long live func_detail

@thirdeye: yes now its 10 times easier to add detail that doesnt affect much, diplacements are the same way(the curvy floors and such in cathedral) which are strangely not really rendered like a floor would be.
im getting quite fast with the new engine stuff. id even venture to say im just as fast with source now as i was in 1.6 :) this industry map you see here was a 5 day project until those screens were taken.
