It can also be a good idea to pair up with a mapper who is talented when it comes to details, perhaps you can find someone who complements your skills.
#Black mesa residue processing stuck skin
Be it prefabs, models with the correct prop type and skin filled in, materials that work well together – anything. They’re lacking details in any shape or form, be it decals, props, brushwork or advanced lighting, It’s an issue I know all too well myself, and I recommend exmaining the official maps and build up what some people call a “library” – a VMF file containing stuff you might want to reuse. The author copied some parts from official BMS maps (menu background and inbound/AM transition), and the stark contrast between the detailed BMS mapmaking and the author’s bland, rectangular rooms and corridors. I found that it helps to sit down and plan the map out on paper, this way, you won’t have to make it up as you go and can work faster. I completed the entire map in about two minutes, which is really, really, really short. It’s a problem I am quite familiar with, as I also struggled to fit enough gameplay into the map before the deadline arrived. I hope HighFire (the author) can get some helpful tips from this and other reviews.
I reckon it’s the work of someone who hasn’t been mapping for very long, much like me, so I’ll try to provide extra helpful feedback instead of just listing flaws. While the previous map was amazing, this one was pretty underwhelming. Except for this, the map is somewhat okay. The end of the map is broken, as the exit elevator doesn’t move at all.
Also, a cutscene was used, which is something I don’t like much in the middle of gameplay. Ammunition, health and autosaves have been very, very distributed sparingly across the map. The author and his beta tester must possess ace-like combat skills, I however frequently died due to sheer lack of ammunition and an onslaught of numerous enemies. What really stood out was the inhumanly hard difficulty. Only the weaponry was limited to what one would expect in earlier chapters. The visuals fit, as did the enemies used. The theme of the QE chapter was met quite well. Also, the animations were a bit rough, like NPCs flinching in an ugly way or reverting to ragdoll pose before moving properly. I didn’t really like the start of this map, as it freezes the player and also features dialogue in the form of on-screen text – a nightmare, since I’m a big fan of creative use of stock assets. You will now see all the entries and can select them in any order.Select the BlackMesaDoorVille RTSL folder.You now have a new menu item: BONUS MAPS (That’s what the GameMenu.res files was.IT will say that you already have the same folders in there, don’t worry, you are only adding new files, so just say YES. Copy the bms folder into your Black Mesa folder.This means your original file will not be over-written – but honestly, it’s not a problem. Rename GameMenu.res to GameMenu-original.res.
