As for the current mapping situation, I am working on a project for sven-coop entitled 'Adam's Dungeon'.
Description copied directly from the maps MOTD:
Quote: |
Yet another maze style map, but set in some random lost dungeon
at the top of some really big mountain in the middle of nowhere.
Decide wherever you like this mountain is, I don't care.
Just watch out for traps, and make your way to the end. You will
know when you reach it.
The skill levels have been altered, so you may find enemies you
come across are stronger and more powerful than you expect. A hint,
the leap of a headcrab will take 50 hp off you without armor, yes
that is 50 hit points, plus they require over half a pistol clip
to kill. |
The map consists of 99% high resolution custom textures. There are a wide range of traps and puzzles, none of which are repeated twice in the map.
Screenshots I took near the start of development are here.
As for updating CFH Hide, if I do return to TFC this christmas I will find some time to spare for updating it.
The screenshots you kindly provided:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/CfHBlade/WarhouseSpot.jpg
Can easilly be fixed by moving the big crate away from the wall a bit.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/CfHBlade/Truckspot.jpg
Again, just by moving the crate away from the wall a bit. You'd be supprised how small the gap can be, and players are still able to reach it -- you just need to try hard enough.

Looks tricky, but my guess would be to create some awkwoodly positioned func_wall's to block items being thrown in such gaps. I'd like to know how often the bag ends up in such a tight spot. At the current time, I can not determine what effects these func_wall's would have on player movement around them.
Thanks for your time producing the feedback. Any more is welcome, however I'd rather have it sooner giving me more time to analyse the problem and determine a feasible sollution. |

Only if it's high res I won't be providing any further screenshots on it though, even when it is complete. Existing ones will simply be updated.
I want most of the map's content to be a supprise. One of the testers nearly died when he saw one puzzle later on I hope your jumping skills are good, or you will quickly despise me. |

The 3 spots Channikth pointed out are being fixed as I write this. Any more bugs and suggestions for this map should be posted very soon, before I release a revised version. |

You'll have to explain where and when people get low FPS drops, for me to fix it. I've not had any. |

Okay.
Falcon, I need to know exactly where FPS spikes are happening. I'm a better mapper now than I was when I designed CFH Hide, so it's most likely down to dirty blockwork.
I've finished fixing the 3 bugs that I mentioned above, but I'm leaving the map open for a week so you can all send me more bug reports or suggestions (when you discover them).
Expect a revised version of this map to be released in a week or so. |

I just started mapping myself, but I'm a VERY FAST learner. My sugestion would be to place small invisible func_wall around the base of the truck. Just fill the gaps between the truck and the ground, either just four, very thin, just out side the perimeter, or eight, leaving spaces where the wheels block it anyways. |
