Haha, nice one!

I think you need to put an empty line between each screenshot as it's something of a trial to tell where one ends and the next begins.

It looks nice. :)

If only I had TF2.

It's okay, the textures are a little repetitive though. I'm liking the line of barrels.

Textures need changing for sure. If this is your first attempt at a map I hope you're reading some tutorials.

I'll give you some constructive criticism (not to be taken badly, to help):

Most of the textures you're using are HL2 textures, now whilst this does create the "dark" or "gritty" feel of RuptureFarms, it doesn't blend in well with TF2. It's fine for now but you also have to think about how it would feel in gameplay terms.

I would recommend either the just as gritty industrial TF2 textures or custom textures to suit the map more. Lower lighting would work wonders for something like this. Otherwise, improve some brushwork and it is getting there.

+nice concept

thanks for your help guys and I do understand the textures are from Half-life 2 i'll fix them tonight.

EDIT:

Holy shit dude,
NICE!!!
:D!!!!!!

The lighting could be toned down a bit (more dark setting) but you sure did follow my advice on the textures, looks okay.

No critism from me, awesome map. Still... I'll never bask in its beauty... EVER.

I had trouble with the lighting ever since i've started using Hammer. and seeing how this map has a roof. It harder to place and know what brightness is good. i did try a dark feel but that made TF2 Gameplay harder.

I don't suppose you have any tips. oh and i've used Light_Envoment so the skybox if looked at has lighting.

Yer, Wish I had Team Fortress 2

I seriously recommend it for any Online and FPS Fan. Its one of the best online games and it arguably the best Class-based Game.

Plus its really cheap on Steam.

Ill try and save up for it, and then I will play forever.

If ya got a alright Computer and internet. its even better. Non-lag TF2 just makes it better. Saddly I have a bit of lag. Sky Broadband isn't the best

Yea my internet is sorta shit, laggs on COD6 a bit.

You guys are lucky that you can actually PLAY it. I'm stuck with this shit hole that doesn't want me to play Half Life 2: Deathmatch smoothly... on gm_flatgrass...

I use to have a computer just like that. it couldn't run Abe's Exoddus *Facepalm*

I wish I can go back to my old computer. It can load textures so I can actually see the skybox.

Me too, then I decieded to get a gaming computer. XD

I have to admit, that's very impressive. Barrels are spot on.

This is an awsome idea make more.

bad news guys.

My map fucked up when i made a door...(How odd) Now when i fix or make somthing new it loads up an older version of the map.

so i might have to re-start the map...saddly



EDIT: Yeah its broken :(

This sucks, I was enjoying this.

don't be too disappointed, i'm making a better one :D

Ontopic: Yay, I bought the gane yesterday.

Offtopic: Did you get my pm?

I-I feel REALLY bad saying this crashpunk... But for me, Im just not getting that oddworld feel from it.. Something about it makes it seem like it is simply another Tf2 map. I like how you put the barrels and pictures and everything, But I think the only way you will be able to get me to think it was truely odd would probably have to be... Try basing it off of real game scenes, like putting the Huge Deep rooms, Or even The outside of it!
Remember this?

A lot of the pictures look as if they could almost have come from MO. Good job!

I completely understand. but the problem is that i have to stick with the TF2 Materials and textures like Chubfish said and after all. it is another TF2 map.

But I am working on ways to improve the feel of it. after all, its only V1.0 and in its alpha stage.

This honestly doesn't sound like a good idea to me. The two art styles are directly conflicting, with Team Fortress 2 being bright and cartoony, and Rupture Farms being dark and gritty.


That's not to say that the idea can't work, it's just that it'd need a lot of work for it to be good. While the map might so far be good for a more realistic FPS, I don't think it'd feel right in TF2.

Thats the challenge I'm facing. however your point about TF2 not being the right game is understandable. i have plans to make one for HL2: Deathmatch and even Counter-Strike.

plus i'm trying to make Rupture Farms dark with a TF2 art-style. Even though TF2 is Cartoony, It still can be made dark and gritty

also I'm making new textures that look like rupture farms but in the TF2 Art-style.

I agree with Nemo. Maybe you can make it darker and more closed up... And deep... And oddworldish

If I ever get round to it, I think Balmora from Morrowind would make a great FPS map.

I have no idea what that is :D

Sorry. Just a random TF2 musing.

Now I will stay with 2Fort and turbine, but I will beta test (If you want), and play on it when it will be released.

Sure.

You mean beta test? I sign up.
