A map for all.

A really nice map, outstanding actually! Would work for action quake I think
But one thing really interrested me, how did you do that light from the motorcycle, It is so real!
PS: what's with the "spawn do not cross" ribbons?

Here the entities for that light in the poldday1.bsp.
{
"origin" "1870.23 2649.67 49.81"
"_color" "1 1 1"
"_cone" "30"
"light" "300"
"style" "0"
"classname" "light"
"target" "headlight"
}
{
"targetname" "headlight"
"origin" "1921.95 2516.26 59.53"
"classname" "info_null"
}

and the 'spawn do not cross' lines a for the DDAY MOD.

Thx.
I put alot of effort into lighting. This map doesn't really "spotlight" my lighting talents. I have another map i made that shows it off, bigtime. Lot's of interior lighting.
I use a technique for lighting that has proven very affective. I have found that lighting a map is time consuming. To run a full compile just to test a light out..takes time. So, what i have come up with is...i copy and paste sections(like one room or area at a time) into a fresh map. I then run a full compile..which takes a fraction of the time...This allows me to do many many test runs, fairly easily. I am a perfectionist, by nature....
So, the lighting bothers me if it doesn't look real.




A little background on me...I am a Master Carpenter, by trade. I own a construction bussiness. I have built, designed and remodeled million dollar homes for nearly 15 years. This experience has given me an ability to master scale. ;D

That wouldn't happen to be a bong on the table now would it?

How did you guess? Was it the bong itself or the posters on the wall.
That is my secret, signature room i have on that map. It isn't period with the rest of the map.
Jefferson Airplane's "white rabbit" is playing from that jukebox.
The bookcase opens up with a secret door to reveal a small "garden".
And there is a bigscreen with the Steelers playing.

It was the poster of Icarrus on the wall....
I've got the same zepplin poster on my closet door in my room.
..and a binger on the table!
