A reclamation facility in the mountains
My submission for the realistic mapping contest. This is my first complete map. It features many custom models and textures. It is the Reclamation Environmental Development (RED)facility for sewage, based in the mountains. Features lots of detail.
For those who care:
I am working on blu base and am almost done!
Ok let me "assess" your assessment. First off, i had no idea the textures weren't working for you, they've worked for everyone else. i'll try to see what your problem might be. Second, you keep complaining about how it is "not finished." By that do you mean there is no blue side? Specifically in the official contest page it states "symmetry is a negative factor" and "the map doesn't have to be playable." And i guess that main station is your opinion (which you are entitled to) but please change your assessment accordingly.
Pros: This map is fairly well detailed, has lots of good props and some custom models. You used great brushwork and textures that both fit the map and yet aren't all custom (reducing download size, obviously.)
The overall flow of the main building is nice, it has lots of good areas for running around, camping and sniping.
Cons: A lot of your models (and I mean a LOT of them) don't have skins. For instance, the chain in your fourth screenshot just shows up as black and purple checkers. Same goes with other custom models you used, like the phone, pencils, and some other crap (like rocks and the fountain.)
The map isn't complete. Not just not-playable (IE: Blue spawns in a box) but really you haven't finished.
The main station is in the middle of a big box, really detracting from the realism.
Improvements: Read: cons. Try to at least finish this map before you go dropping it anywhere but in this category.
Notes: A nice effort, but in the end it is a very unfinished map with missing textures and some visual leaks.
Rating: 7 / 10
Pros: . I don't have TF2 installed so I can't get to try it ingame, so I'll just make an assess by the screens.
Starting off on the first screen (top), Very detailed and well made props. The water looks good, and fits in. Looks like an good spawn area with good detail. Skybox looks good, and the mountains around makes it a bit more "filled", and not just a big wall.
Lets move over to the second screenshot, The concept of the Red intel area looks really cool, water flowing in the middle and stairs on each side of the intel. Looks like its been taken care of with detail and props, everything. Love the whole concept of the room.
Third Screen, Looks like a very detailed room, looks great, love the concept and detail you've added here. Looks like you've taken your time on the maps detail and looks. I guess the sewer pipe is one of the entrences to this "room", a great + for some fun ;)
Fourth Screen, Looks like the spawn area, just a simple spawn with some detail.. but the chains are cool (+) ;) .. I guess you've to make the spawn a bit detailed aswell.
Fifth screen is just the pipe, but it looks good and detailed.
Cons: The cons on the first screen is the down right on the screen, textures look horrible.. but I guess no players gonna get to see over the wall anyways.
No more cons actually....
Improvements: This is a great map, looks like you've spent allot of time on detail and looks of this map, after all its the realistic map contest ;)
Looks good by the screens, too bad I can't get to see the map ingame ...
Notes: Overll great map, with weight on detail and looks. Great concept and love the props you've added inside and all.
Rating:
Detail: 9,5 looks rather awesome, looks like you've got some "weight" on details and looks. The map looks like it could'ave been an Valve map.
Realism: Looks just like an ordinary facillity, great detail as I said before. Looks great!
Looks: Great detail, keep it up!
Thanks so much for rating! i waited a week with no assessment and i really wanted to know what someone thought.thank you. ill work on the floors too.
Pros: Super Great map! I really love the feeling of being in a facility! It have a great look too, you did a really good work there. I must say "Keep up the great work" . Well done octoplasma. 10/10 Cons: None Improvements: Add a little more details on the floors insinde the facility. Notes: Super good map, make more! You have the skills, and you know how to use them.
Wow, .. I aint got no time for an assessement right now, but I may do it later .
