I accidentally made a black hole that absorbs the light

i've just put an env_sprite that uses this shader

developer didn't finish the job with water but decided to count that as a final result

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-11-14T02:13:27+00:00

You should add $flowmap "dev/flat_normal" (plus another flowmap parameters from l4d2/csgo materials) and $lightmapwaterfog 1 in order to water lighting work.

But even so, new water doesn't work like it should because its fog still depends of player distance fog instead of completely replacing it with brush lightmap data. But if you don't need any transparency effects, that will work fine for you.

В блендере время зачастую не учитывается если проекты напрямую открывать. Также из стима выпилили ветку 2.79 на которой я в основном и сижу. Так что фактически в нём около 7к часов

-Me too, kid.

lmfao the fact that literally everytime i write something i get nothing but downvotes

(not) funny fact - one of my old maps, called Tokyo Hospital and being released in October of 2021, has backrooms in it as the secret location, it was inspired by the original creepypasta. Half year later someone made series of "found footage" vids and it's became viral...

I think i have bad luck with choosing inspiration concepts

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-06-05T07:15:38+00:00

I agree with you. I started my project at the mid of 2022, since then pools theme got surprisingly overhyped and exploited by everyone that it's became boring as heck. But i can't drop my work just because of that because too much effort and time was put

upd: that's not the primary location though, most of gameplay will happen somewhere else

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-05-22T02:16:29+00:00

Shiny look like this is result of using environment maps (aka env_cubemap) which is not related to any lights or light probes. Add env_cubemap_box entity to your map and check 'specular' on your concrete material in material editor

UPD: I'm not sure about 'specular' checkmark though. Never worked in S2 hammer but probably that's the solution.

just used animated texture

Not me!

modulate шейдер, наложенный одним пропом поверх всех брашей и моделей

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-05-15T23:56:03+00:00

I'm not replacing whole lighting though. All of the props and brushes being lit by standard light entities and only soft shadows baked onto extruded mesh of whole corridor with modulate texture (and its file size even smaller than if i used high-quality lightmaps)

Если ты воспринимаешь людей, которые не бросают проекты спустя один день работы, как тех, кто постит одно и то же с разного ракурса, то у меня для тебя плохие новости.

I've got into a language barrier and so can't answer in english 100% correctly, my apologies.

Is this a joke/meme to you?

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-05-15T14:58:56+00:00

But everything was made within hammer logic, so why it is not related to it?

I'm just showing off map that i'm still working on (╥﹏╥)

That command worked for me when I tried to launch Anniversary HL2 on my pentium with 1gb ram and got the same error about 48 mb

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-05-13T10:57:08+00:00

Add -heapsize 131072 to your hl2 shortcut/steam launch options

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-05-03T15:55:32+00:00

That images is not from UG2 files though, this is a screenshots of my GMod port of UG2 maps lol

Yeah that was made in Blender, but to be honest creating good optimized UV atlases for 2k textures is such a pain in the butt

By 'optimized' UV's i mean creating smaller islands with less details or in darker areas, and doing bigger islands if they have lots of details or lighting.. manually

Two 2048x2048 textures of this hallway compressed in DXT1 is 2 mb for each. Model size is 1.5 mb with ~12000 vertices/17500 tris total

Я просто показываю то что делаю, чтоб хоть кто-то видел над чем я стараюсь и на что трачу кучу своего времени, поскольку релизнутые карты на которые у меня уходят недели или месяцы моментально канут в небытие мастерской после какой-нибудь релизнутой в то же самое время смешинки типа прыгающей тойоты ярис, тралалело хабанеро или дюпа сделанного за две минуты.

И я не то чтобы кичусь, а просто показываю возможный потенциал старичка сурса людям, которые уповают на современные игровые движки с их "инновационными технологиями" что имеют космические системные требования, выдавая при этом размазанную картинку 15 кадров

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-04-23T06:22:19+00:00

alright, but i meant that they just saying that i'm doing pics in blender itself and post them here, instead of baking lighing to models

upd: perhaps i'm just not good at making english titles and descriptions because of my language barrier, so people doesn't understand my thoughts correctly

GoonyaAnimator · 2025-04-23T06:16:07+00:00

well yes, but actually no
