Custom Map Makers

Might make a crappy quality livestream - will see about this

Making textures is a massive pain and only a few people here can actually do it properly.
Also, someone would have to take the pictures (unless you're allowing photographs by other people, in which case you could just allow textures in general)

^ why not

I'd have to dig through the code to be sure, but I'll say yes.
Are you compiling with -patchmeta? If not, do so.

Also, if you're making terrain out of patch meshes, stop right now and use trisouping instead.

If it looks inferior you're doing it wrong, easy as that. You need a phong shader, btw. Also alternate the resolution of the trisoup, you don't have to use the same triangle size everywhere in one terrain. Alternate between 128x128, 64x64 and 256x256 unit triangles depending on the distance/amount o...

ewww get your fingers off me

Definitely replace everything terrain-related with tri- or at least quadsouping. Might want to mix both as well. Imo drafts in Radiant are a waste of time, do it properly right from the start - if you need visual drafts, draw them on paper. Also be aware that you have visible seams in the terrain ri...

I really don't see how that can be almost 16k brushes - can you post a screenshot of the 2D top-down view?

Hint brushes won't help you at all, the map is way too open for VIS to have any effect. You could leave it away and it won't change much.

I'll maintain a list of possible names for a map in here. If you want to add something just lemme know in some form! If you see an already used name tell me as well and I'll cross it out and add a link to the topic. To get additional ideas, join our IRC channel #cmm on freenode and type !mapname. Ou...
