We will have 30 new maps the moment 1.3 comes out, because i think they fixed that water bug thing, you know at the start of Joe's maps you start in the water and it teleports you to spawn.

plus some of the maps here are beta.

Btw, you're using hdr, aren't you? There's something in those images that simply doesn't match. It looks too good! You can't make something that has that look in the source engine. Not without hdr at least. Personally I don't have hdr, so I hardly know what it looks like in darker maps...

Nope, I don't use HDR, its a secret entity I am using ^^ (the white effect against the ceiling and the superbe lighting [/brag])

I knew it was something! And the lightning simply looked too good! Well. I envy your skills.

particles per sec "10" (depending in the entities size)
max particle speed "13"
min particle speed "3"
max particle lifetime "5"
max visible distance (depends on the map) "640"
frozen "yes" (a lot less less laggy)

I really need to learn about many of the brush entities.

physbox, triggers, buttons, doors and tracktrains I use all of the time, but there is actually so much more to find!

Amazing work, you have some real talent there. Especially for advanced technological design.

Yeah. everyone should make maps without HDR and make them shine without it. That gives those not able to use HDR a nice looking map and when HDR is turned on you get a hell of a show!

It would be nice if they used the normal hl2 water texture's that have benath's.

Sorry to say, but I put this map on hold.
While playtesting some area's I learned a lot about coop.
Somestuff in the map just isn't functionable for coop and I need bigger hallways rooms and stuff ... with 4 people running around its allready crownded.

I am probably gonna think up a efficient layout and then restart the map.

Thx for all the comments.

Looks promising. I'm looking forward for this map.
