== Chernobyl, need I say more? Of course ==
Taking a short break from dance club mania, I have started on a grand Chernobyl map based on the Power Plant and the surrounding areas(roads, buildings and all), and not so much on Stalker's design(the big wacky emitters shooting lightning into space etc...).
Like Stalker however, it will be a free roaming map, building access and trinket control possibly included, along with a slightly faster ep2 car. To be able to scale it to accuritly match the actual size of it, I made 1 big texture from combined screenshots and used it in Hammer. While using videos such as one on [http://pripyat.com/ Pripyat's main website] which was made by the BBC back in 1996, I'll hopefully be able to make a near realistic setting that one might find at the actual location.
In the pic on the left, you'll notice a little black spec on the corner of the plant, that would be Alyx. On the right is an overview of the texture I'm using to scale the design correctly.

New Wall Measurement & Tool Textures For Hammer

I made some new tool texture for the Hammer Editor. These tools have no parameters set to them(unlike tools such as player clip, hint, and light block). They allow the mapper to keep better track of brush based enities such as func precipitation, func_illusionary,triggerwind, func_dustmotes, and perhaps any other use one might find for them.

  • I've reuploaded the tool textures with two new wall measurement textures. These are for size 96 and 112 unit walls. Don't ask me what the point was of doing this, I just wanted a wall measurement besides the 128 unit texture which would also show the player's height. And as you can see, they *are* scaled correctly. If it turns out that this was already done by Valve, I certanily never found it.

My W.I.P.

Though I've messed around with hammer for about a year now, I have yet to actually "make" my own complete map. So I thought a good start would be a place I've always want to visit, that of course being the nightclub Amnesia on an island off the coast of Spain.

Here's a reference photo, a screenshot at the same angle, and of the dj booth that I've completed so far:
