Just a sidenote: are you considering decent VIS-blocking and gameperformance in your maplayout? Because if you find out when the map is done that the FPS are around 25 you ll have not much fun. And as i can see throught he windows of that stairs-room to the roofs of the other buildings, i m not really sure there will be good VIS-blocking possible.
As a first help towards checking this: you should draw the FPS in the config you are using for testing your map. So you can see which framerates you already get.

@ Loffy, thanks i was hoping for a spookyish feel to it, like a map i played on by Riverstyks i think.

@ Shaderman, exactly the look i was hoping for…now i know i have acheived that :smiley:

@ ]UBC[ McNite, i ALWAYS take into acount the FPS and yes i am able to VIS-block the map giving me decent framerates, i currently get an average of 90 FPS, which is what i aim for in a map, and my graphics card is pretty outdated too.

I’d say you need to pay a bit more attention to detail, althouigh if you are planning on going back to do more, then ignore me :slight_smile:
For example though (and one of my personal pet hates in custom maps) - roofs - They look like you’ve taken a triangular (prism) brush, and slapped brick on the ends and roof texture on the top.
This means it doesn’t ‘stick’ out - if you look at roofs, you’ll quickly see that they never ever meet at the wall, there’s always an overhang etc.
Real life is never as neat as Radiant would like you to believe :slight_smile:

Also, another pet hate (although probably more so now I’m working on a circular city!) - maps that are too aligned to the axes (not Axis!) - IE everything at 90 degrees etc. It’s just too neat.
In your bunch of screenshots above, all but the 4th one scream ‘neat lego brick world!’ to me - in that 4th pic even just that single walkway at 45 degrees helps to break it up a great deal and makes it much more visually interesting.
I know modelling off this can be a pain in Radiant which is basically geared to 90 degrees etc, but sticking

Mhmm, im not shure where your map located, but you wrote “Berchesgarden”.
I life near “Berchtesgaden” in Germany, do you mean this Village ?
