L4D_test (don't have a name lol)

[Paper-Burn]

I started working on a map because I was bored, and I need suggestions for the extrior (outside)

I'll upload some pics later

[sleepy]

Erm need more than that paper. What you making the map for guessing L4D but what theme you want it for survival or what? Need more information to able to give suggestions.

[Paper-Burn]

I know that, and I made a video, need to upload though..
Or can it be done trough flash on this site?


You start in some kind of basement of a big house, and when you walk outside I want to have a great view over mountains or something

You have to cross a cliff with a bridge, after a while walking you get into some kind of town and there is safehouse + level change,

And I need suggestions how it must look like a bit, ideas that I can actually make into reality (Cause I'm not that good)
Also, I can't get breakable glass to show up in-game

EDIT: Any suggestions for the texturing is also welcome
I got it dev textured atm

Answered your questions

1. I have a env_fog_controller, just no fog enabled.

2. Kay

3. Func_breakable_surf...

And I used cubemaps(And yes I did buildcubemaps)

[sleepy]

Can you follow the tutorial for youtube in future but i will watch the video in a bit.

Godammit, Everytime I want to play the map how it is rigth now, it fails to compile and I get to play an older version of the map...

Any idea how this comes?
I only did 'run the game on startup' twice or so

If that's the case, is it reversable?

EDIT: Here is the compile message:

The Interlopers error checker does wonders, but I'm surprised you didn't see this one

brush 7763: floatplane: bad normal side 0 texture: de_nuke/nuke_metalfloor_01

Description:
One of your brushes has a face with a bad normal (a 'normal' is a oriëntation of a texture on a face).

Solution:
First see if the problemchecker in Hammer (alt+p) can find and fix it. If it can't, find the brush and fix it manually (usually it's best to delete it and start all over) or select the brush and "align to face" it in the texture-tool. You can find the brush using view -> go to brush ( 7763 ). The specific brushside will have the de_nuke/nuke_metalfloor_01-texture, though that may be multiple sides

Also, remember to put the compile log in [code] tags.

[Paper-Burn]

Well, I got it fixed using that Error finder

And I got the zombies to work!!
But there's not much population yet... any ideas? (The zombies DO spawn though!!, special infected aswel!)

But... I got no further Ideas On what to do next..
You guys want me to make a movie to show what i've got so far?

[Red_Snappa]

yeah that would be nice

[Paper-Burn]

Will do, later this day maybe or tommorow
