The Mapping Resources Thread

o_imbrifer · 10-01-2006, 10:05 PM

I've decided to consolidate all of the threads that refer to places to get textures, models and feedback. If you have anything to add, post it below and I'll stick it in. So here we go:

Texture Resources:
- HourPitores - Medium texture pack of Industrial and Natural textures - DL 1
- dr Zaius' FF Pack - Medium pack of team-colored Fortess textures - DL 1
- ARCRUX - Small texture pack with a sci-fi theme by spineroyal - DL 1
- berneyboy - Large texture pack with urban and natural themes - DL 1
- cncr04s - Huge (1800+) texture pack with everything - DL 1

Installation: Place the folder containing the textures in your 'half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\materials\' folder (or if you are mapping for another mod, use that mod's 'materials\' folder)

Model Resources:
- hl2world - Forum post with some indoor models
- hl2world - Assorted hl2 models

Feedback:
- The Snarkpit - HL1/2 community site where you can post your map and people can leave feedback
- Mapcore Forums - Mostly-HL2 FPS forums who critique eachothers' maps
- HL2world Forums - Fairly active HL2 mapping forums where you can ask questions

Tutorials:
- Valve Developer Community - Valve's mapping website with some tutorials
- The Snarkpit - HL1/2 community site with many tutorials, forums and comments
- Migandi.org.uk's Editing Site - Ugly site with nearly 200 Source tutorials
- Gamewag's Tutorials - Massive, quality tutorial database
- Edit Life's Tutorials - Accessable, clear tutorials database
- Interlopers.net Tutorials - Many tutorials with responses and pictures
- DOD Federation Tutorials - Many many tutorials listed
- TWHL Tutorials - About one dozen tutorials for Source

Other:
- JMC's TFC Map Zone - Database with reviews of hundreds of TFC maps
- Valve Editing Resource Center -Forums where people ask many mapping questions
- Handzman's Decals -Custom decals created for FF (flag arrows, etc.)
- Bumgravy and PHISH's Waterfall -A waterfall prefab by our own Bumgravy and PHISH!

Notes: Remember to give credit to the artists who created the textures/models/etc you use.

the prefabs section of sourceprefabs.com disturbs me. :/

o_donny · 10-02-2006, 09:05 AM

Good job Imbrifer. This really helps

o_sh4x · 10-02-2006, 05:06 PM

Bleeeh... after reading the new devs journal I feel bad for taking so much time aligning textures when I know there are gonna be much cooler textures in FF and I'll want to change the ones I already have with the new ones.

o_nodnarb · 10-02-2006, 07:29 PM

- cncr04s - Huge (1800+) texture pack with everything - DL 1 (broken link)

o_imbrifer · 10-02-2006, 09:11 PM

Yeah nodnarb, all of the DL sites for that are toast, and I can't post it on filefront because their hostage server is down. Can anyone host the map pack? I'll snoop around and see if I can find another hoster...

o_swampthing360 · 10-02-2006, 09:16 PM

o_own3r · 10-03-2006, 06:37 AM

MAKE STICKY

o_mj · 10-03-2006, 07:10 AM

yes sticky

o_nodnarb · 10-03-2006, 12:35 PM

to sum it up, "sticky" abunch of times

o_imbrifer · 10-03-2006, 07:34 PM

Added new tutorials site and feedback location. Also I think cncr04's texture pack should work now - I got it hosted at Filefront.

o_nodnarb · 10-03-2006, 10:21 PM

- ARCRUX - Small texture pack with a sci-fi theme by spineroyal - DL 1 (broken link)

Imbrifer, If you have the file just e-mail it to me.

Also I am going to do mirrors for the downloads.

o_nodnarb · 10-04-2006, 08:53 PM

- cncr04s - Huge (1800+) texture pack with everything - mirror one

EDIT: it isn't working taking it down

o_nodnarb · 10-30-2006, 11:38 PM

Why don't we merge this thread with the "Mapping Guides, FAQs, Links, etc. (2006-04-14)" thread?

o_imbrifer · 11-01-2006, 08:10 PM

good call, nodnarb

o_nodnarb · 11-01-2006, 08:48 PM

Thank you, Imbrifer :P

o_hezus · 11-09-2006, 07:45 PM

Any chance of releasing an offical pack with Team signs and logo's ? Would be good for the consistancy of all maps if mappers would use the same signs with the official colours, font and logo's.

Circuitous · 11-09-2006, 09:36 PM

Once the game is released we'll get the texture packs.

o_own3r · 11-16-2006, 04:52 PM
