Well, i hadn't actually planned on releasing any screenshots of this map until I ironed out some more bugs (har har bad pun)... but ok. I guess I haven't released any screenshots for a couple of months now, so it's certainly due.
I'm not going to say much for these shots, trying not to give away too much story, so just enjoy all the pretty pictures.
That's it for now. I'll see about putting together a few from the first map in the series (which I'm working my way through). I'm hoping to get the first, second, and third maps in the series released at least in beta version as soon as possible. (No dates! Dates mean overshooting them by months!)
For a bit more news, I've kinda sorta mabye almost settled on my story-flow. Parts are starting to come together, and I'm still going for epic.
Should be good. I'm starting to get excited!
Oh, and P.S., in case you hadn't noticed, i've been updating the front of this thread with info about progress and screenshots and etc.

They're guards anyway, they're supposed to guard the motherland! HURRAH

Yea, so after getting over 4 hours worth o mapping block today, I managed to whip through a major part of the first map in the series. Coming along nicely.
However, it's going to be nuts to compile this map... getting too big...

Excellent! I'm very glad to hear that!Mr. Someguy wrote:WOW! thats good, best map I've ever seen not by valve. I thought that was and dunes at first.
=============
It's been a while - I was out rock climbing over the weekend up in Squamish, got some awesome climbs done, (and some interesting map ideas, but those will have to wait until this map is done ). So I'm back!
Alright, so, yea, yet another one of these annoyingly small updates. But perhaps some stuff to get excited about.
Well, first off, after much correspondance with Hickadam, I finally got my test scene to play in faceposer! YAY!! I was really happy, but then I got really sad because it didn't actually work in the map. So, I'm going to try a few of Hickadam's suggestions for getting the sounds to run ingame, but if none of those work I'm afraid I'm going to have to switch to game_texts. Which are annoying because they're so impersonal, and look so amatuer compared to a fully functional faceposer. Ah well, c'est la vie. Or something like that...
Secondly, the first map in the series is going very well - it's 3:00 AM here after another mapping binge accompanied by suitable rock 'n roll music. I currently have a 3 page list of bugs and tweaks that need to be worked out, but everything that needs to be done has been attempted. Now onto the bug hunting...
But yea, once I iron out most of those bugs I'll get some screenshots up, hopefully sometime this week.

Well, good news bad news time.
Good news: I fixed all 20 bugs!
Bad news: I found/made 40 more!
So yea... it looks like screenshots will be delayed until next week. Map is starting to look pretty good though...
Oh, and more bad news: I've sort-of semi-abandoned the whole faceposer dealy. I wasn't able to get any of my scenes to play ingame unless they had valve sounds, so I wasn't about to start mucking around trying to fix it all. I'll go about doing game_texts for now, but I plan to come back later and get faces on those npc's. At least I'll know what everybody's supposed to be saying now

I really feel sorry for both you and hick, I don't know how much work it takes, but from the brief look I had, I know it's alot. All I can say is give us text format but keep all the faceposer stuff backed up, hopefully one day you'll be able to get it in. Try keep your options open
I sort of got the mapping blues, night before no compile, I thought laptop had melted, no I just knocked the power lead out and the battery run out after 2 hrs
And I'm about to rebuild my sky box for about the third time I sorta went about building my skybox geom in a bit of a backward manner!
And as for bugs hammer is proving to be very stubborn.
Don't give up,

Hehe, yea, hammer can be annoying, and the most bizzare things happen in the middle of compiling (like power supplies being knocked out, Windows crashing, house fires, hurricanes, power outages, etc.)
Fortunately, all but one error in my map I know how to fix, so it shouldn't take too long. (The one I'm not entirely sure on I have some clues, so it's all good.)
But yea, latest compile looked good. A few more bugs that I missed the first 300 times around, but after one or two more compiles I should be ready for some vis compiles. But I'm hoping for a rough alpha version for next week. Beta soon after that.
Never give up! Never surrender!

I think he wants them to be like hl2 maps. I've played and it's his own work from scratch in terms of building the level, at the end of the day if your not making your own models and textures, it's kinda hard not to look like a hl2 map given the resources. Keeping the same quality as a Valve map is another thing, although I think DaMaN has done a damn fine job.
