Custom Map Makers

What Frankie said is true. No amount of skills in map building (and some high end UrT mappers are a living proof of this) will make you a good level designer if you don't have the imagination needed to design a good map. A simple example are battlefield: bad company 2 maps versus battlefield 3 maps....

I thought my computer will burst into flames during vis compile.

Open that map in radiant 1.5, delete all the massive terrain patches, and then send it to me, i can't use netradiant, it's too awkward for me.

Well for one this kind of terrain building is just wrong.
Using massive patches as terrain is not a good idea, and then we can start dealing with structural brushes that need to be converted to detail brushes, all 10 billion of them since every single brush is structural....the hell?

I figured out the netradiant thing last night, can you open the map in old 1.5, save it and send just that to me?

*EDIT* OMG Banksy OMG, we got so much work i don't know where to begin.

hmm you're using radiant 1,6 aren't you


I'm having problems opening this map Banksy, radiant 1.5 reports a patch error, and radiant 1.6 crashes when i try to load the map.

Got it, lets take a look at what we have here.

OK man, no hurry, i got time.

I'm waiting on the zip file.

Damn, you really know how to pick em huh.

I would need the map file and all the models and shaders and everything to even begin looking into it.

This isn't easy to texture if you want it to look good, unless you want that boring mandolin type of texturing with no contrast no saturation textures.

Do you have any reference photos for textures?
