Bloodshrine WIP

[Joeh]

This is the first map I've decided to share publically, I hope to gather suggestions and comments towards my project. This is also a remake of my failed project.

Basic story
In the depths of the desert, Lay an old sacred temple, riddled with the dead. Within lies an object that holds much value. Get this object by all costs.
THE END! <_<;

I will add more pictures, as I continue.

I'm thinking...about 39.778% But that's just an estimate.

 

[Red Cell]

Woot finally a desert map. Here comes the Scouts of Valen!

 

[Solid Shadow]

In 2nd picture, the "lightrays" could use some tweaking, suggest making them more transparent (90ish value maybe)?
Also, it looks like you dont have an invisible texture at the "bottom" (where the rays end), I suggest you put one there.

 

[Jon]

Woo~ Joe's Map !

 

[Crow]

Looks good. lil boxy but... w/e

You lightrays need to be black on the end. That or something weird is going on.

 

[Jelly]

I think the problem is that your lightrays need to act like light, and not stop in mid-air.

This just made me wanna work on my desert map, although i've got to work on a MS:S map. Tis fun either way.

 

[Joeh]

Fixed the lighting issue.

I have two questions,
1.Is there a way to create quicksand?
2.What would be a good wav to tie in with monster spawning?

 

[The Man In Black]

Quicksand could be done with a weak-ish trigger push that lets the player fall slowly. That's kind of a hacky method, though.

Help

Bah, I have a leak which has halted the map. However after a good ¼ of an hour I am unable to find this leak. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: That was odd...Moved to a diffrent host.

I'll take a look and see if I can spot it.

Edit: The link sends me to something else. Can you fix it please?

 

[replica]

the map you uploaded doesnt have a leak. does that 2nd edit saying "FIXED" mean you fixed the link or the leak?

 

[Dridmar]

I'm guessing he means he fixed the link since I asked him to. If I'm wrong, feel free to say so Joe.

Edit: Looked at the map too. I didn't see any leaks and it compiled properly without any "leak" messages.

 

[Vaaron]

Even though i'm still a newbish mapper, I can't find any easy-picking leak on the map.

 

[Jon]

I already told Joe that there is no leak. He knows now. That idiot.

Somehow it fixed itself... As I didn't change it, and it was also the right version.


Yet another wonder of hl mapping.

 

[Dridmar]

How's the progress on the map coming along now?
1000th post yay!
