Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's début title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.

Description

A rather small single player map set in a unknown part of the Black Mesa Facility. Took about 8 days to complete and I think I did pretty okay with it, considering it's my first map as well.

Played it, small but fun to play, congrats. Though I doubt it's your really first map, too much complex stuff in there :P (triangle terrain, multi_managers, monstermaker + sprite + ambient_generic, etc)

Though I noticed quite some newbie errors, most of thems being forgotten texture alignement.

Nah, it's my first serious map. Also my first released. That said I've made some test maps but only like two rooms connected with a few monsters and weapons.

Of course it wouldn't been made in the first place if it wasn't for some great tutorial sites ( Leveldesign.nu and Twhl.co.za ).

What textures are you referring to btw?

Thanks for you comment as well.

You mean the door frames or the actual door? About the frames - I couldn't any good texture to fit around the edges of them so I just chose a door texture to fit the general color of the frame.
The doors... well, I didn't think people would notice them so I ignored it. :)

Thank you either way.

nice to see that there are still people out there which create hl1 stuff.. Nice map maybe not the best but still very ok.

I wish me more maps & mods this goes for every mapper out there. Some more hl1 stuff until Hl2 Blackmesa mod is released then i wish me Blackmesa mods for hl2.

Agreed, I still download pretty much every HL1 mod or single player map I can find. USS Darkstar is one of my absolute favorite; can't remember how many times I've finished it. :)

Ever since I played my first custom made map for the game I've always wanted to make something myself. It took a while (more than a decade!) but I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

should there be monster or soldiers?
Or only a empty map?
Because i cant see any soldiers or monsters, but a pretty detailed map =)

This had great mapping. But why the lame ending? I expected something with a bit more lifespan.

Will you ever continue this map? Like will you ever work on it more and continue it on?

Probably not, sorry, at least for now. As of this moment I'm busy with The Evasion and whenever I'm finishing that up I'm planning on moving over to Duke Nukem 3D finishing a map there that has been way long overdue.
