So without looking at the name of my picture (b/c I forgot about that and don't want to re-upload it) guess what map I'm attempting (if Gator doesn't steal it).

Looks great!

Beetle · 04-27-2007, 11:56 PM

its not one of those "I really want you to guess" kinda deals, and I thought it would be somewhat obvious if you've played it, but did I mention you can just look at the link?

SizeableSSonic · 04-28-2007, 12:02 AM

ooooohhh, thecove, I may have a texture or two you can use that I made, I'll have to check though.

nodnarb · 04-28-2007, 12:04 AM

it's really obvious that it is the cove...

sure, i want a tropical theme, so the more the merrier. I'm just getting the hang of displacements...any easier way to make decent looking cliffs other than subdiving, noise, sew, then manually pull and tug till it looks right?

mistermojo · 04-28-2007, 01:55 AM

awesome thecove was great

are you doing a straight remake or adding new things?

Beetle · 04-28-2007, 03:38 AM

im taking suggestions, and trying to add some things rather than a port. maybe make that underwater grate work?

paranoidkirb · 04-28-2007, 05:15 AM

MORE PIRATE SHIPS!

Gator · 04-28-2007, 05:26 AM

LOL....Bettle

I actually did worked on this map a long time ago (so did Commander...who aka: passed it on to me...but then the project was...lost). So, you have full rights on doing it (although I believed I read a thread where Nezumi pointed out some interest on it...). Good luck mate

I was thinking it would be cool to have the first cap point pier be destructable, like that pirate ship map someone made for CS:S. Have the actual cap be on a metal platform in the middle that's not destructable. Maybe set a timer (if you can do it) so it can destruct after 3 minutes.

not quite sure what you mean, maybe because I don't have cs:s.

Gator, spell my name right

. EDIT: yea, Nezumi said he would go crazy on thecove if he had someone that would do wonderful textures for him.

As for progress, I'm making the first area more convincing, making the building an entire building rather than in thecove for TFC where on one side it was a building and the other side it was foliage. Also, I have this waterfall going well that's right after the first rocky entrance in my pic. EDIT: Here's another pic of progress: Its rough, I'm gonna need some pointers on texturing weird-shaped displacements.

Nezumi · 04-28-2007, 08:17 AM

Yea, rofl, I'm not touching Cove without someone to be my texture bitch.

luminous · 04-28-2007, 01:00 PM

have a talk to the people on here
http://www.invade-defend.com/default.php
n see what changes they recommend etc

jarek · 04-28-2007, 02:26 PM

did you get zoauve's permission to do this? just considering he is on the FF dev team, looks okay, but to be honest thecove in tfc was probably one of the prettiest maps there was, good luck trying to keep on par with that

you need a brighter water texture, something tropical blue

`badger` · 04-28-2007, 02:48 PM

Yes, more tropical themes please, it's such a shame to put themes like that to waste on hl2's rendering capability, map sort of reminds me of the PVKII' maps.
p.s where the foke is the pirate ship at the start, ITS GONE

Pigeons · 04-28-2007, 05:44 PM

yea, get that tropical blue water texture in and it will look 10x more prettier.
