I would like to get some opinions, ideas and tips on my abandoned project.
Since It's dead for around 3 months, I still have the clear view on how it was supposed to look like, but I think that I'll modify it a bit.



I wanted it to look a little bit like my other, old map:


Ideas ?

It looks like a very nice map, I've only gotten into hammer myself so at best I've made a func_door, lighting and viewed the sdk_demo maps.
So this currently blows my mind especially the landscape, the waterfall and what looks like a cave.
I have a working sniper map for Wolf:ET if you would like to see it?

if only building these maps was a little more like minecraft

@SimonJ: Ofcourse
@Kyle Foster: Thanks! Thats very kind of you!

Haribo, Slightly sad to say, there are minecraft maps, and they're all terrible, too small, not built well or other things, gives me half a mind to make my own MC map to show how it's really done.
I just have to make a few bespoke textures and i'm done, for clarity, 32x32 or 64x64(Most mapping programmes are limited to using a power of 2 for texture dimentions, 2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024 etc.)

Netheous, returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/GGTowers;96452.
*edit* Old video I made.
Some things are prefab like the health and ammo cabinets and I might have copy/pasted doors and doorframes, but I'm damn proud of this tiny map, especially having a working map.
Also, May I have a prefab of that church, I like it, Does it have window panes? I can't tell from the pictures.

@Up: Really cool map! Too bad that I dont play that game and because of that I cant really rate it.

It's free to play and allsorts, you can get it on gamershell.com, don't forget to use the patches incrementally.
If you install Wolf:ET and install GTKRadiant, I'll give you the .map file to see my work in detail.

You can use "prefabs" or Pre-fabricated peices, like you build a door with a door-frame or an entire floor of a block of flats, you can "prefab" it and re-use that file for other maps and things.

Me ? Dawg, I am mapping for around 3-4 years, I know what prefabs are.
