Ok, this is my first real map. If you want to use it for some of your own work or just remake it, then please give me some credit.
If there is any bugs or glitches, then please contact me.
i think the geometry is good for a first map.
however ive always hated people who think it's ok to release "Orange Maps"
i like the map but your choice in textures disappoints me.
i think that yeah, orange maps are okay for a first attempt. But lets be honest here, it doesnt take an awful lot of work to create your own textures, or even use the ones provided.
Pretty good go mate, well done, now get onto texturing!
Texturing correctly is very difficult in its own right to mapping brushes. To create and apply textures only to have to redo it later because the geometry was not perfect is a terrible waste of time. Textures and fine tuned lighting are always the last part of mapping.
well I kinda like this simple style used in this map.
I made it a little better now and added another bridge over the other two bridges. But I'll continue making new maps aswell.
Hahaha "what the fudge is DEV?" you really don't know? Now I know why people release these stupid orange maps, because they really are that stupid. DEV means developer, and as much they are only supposed to be used during the creation of a map as placeholders before you put in the REAL textures. Please please please OH GOD please will people stop thinking its okay to release maps made using that horrible looking retina-burning god rotting orange texture. It doesn't even take long to find textures you want and apply them so just take the 5-10 mins and your map will look 10 times better. Ever since orange maps got popular on CSS I was like WTF are you just too lazy to texture? But no, they're just stupid enough to think that a developer texture is a proper one. It's for measuring and placeholding and has no respectful place in the mapping community IMO. /rant
There are two and a half reasons why it is orange 1: the creator wanted this as a starter map for people who aren't good at mapping or 2: he likes orange, or 2a: cos' it is color co-ordinated with the hl2 logo.
this might be my third post, but i looked at savant7's post and it's quite rude, but anyway let's get to the point, at least he made a map at least give the guy some credit. p.s. if i post 1 more time i am going to UBER lol p.s.s. oh and you are not stupid because if you were you would've not made a map whatsoever.

whats wrong with it.
it might be a beta and he's still looking for textures.
no, its the fact he's to lazy to correctly make a map.
I've seen peoples first maps better then maps i can create.
and I've been mapping for a good while now.
So? I don't care about how good other people are.
I just like this texture, so stop complaining.
Well, maybe you're right... But I think the "measure-textures" (as they are called) are quite simple and smooth.
Hmmm, so many negative comments. Personally I am intrigued with orange maps, seeing that this would be my first time playing one.
I think orange maps should only be used for puzzle mods and stuff like that. but good job anyway. :)

Thanks, I will.
But I think that I might continuing making some orange maps for a little while. (Not for so long.)
any suggestions for a nice ground texture?
i disagree. but thats just my mapping style.
nice try a first map./ but you could at least had been adding a another "DEV" texture and not just orange :)
And what the fudge is "DEV"?

you got a point .
Thank you! That made complete sense!

anyway hammer is hard and textures are quite hard to come by. (sorry for double post)
