zm_mansion (first post)

[DrFronkensteen]

For a little over a year I've been working on a potential map for EH that I'm calling zm_mansion (it's not a super complex map, I just work in Valve time) and since I've finally implemented the map's lighting, I figured I'd showcase some screenshots.
Of course, there's no guarantee that this map will be accepted into the server's map pool, but I like what I've done and wanted to at least show it off a bit.
Unfortunately, though, my PC has gotten fairly old and I don't have the best GPU, and upon compiling the map with lighting, my PC was really chugging, so I don't plan to continue work on the map until I've gotten myself a new computer.
Probably won't fully finish it until some time next year.

Looks nice! have you tried optimizising the lightmap? it will decrease the compile timer ALOT.

This article will focus on how you can manipulate the lightmaps in your level to reduce compile time and file size, without reducing quality. It is not intended to answer your questions regarding the basics of lightmaps. If you don't know what lightmaps are, check out this tutorial and VDC...
