gm_wintertown

Hello everyone! I'm back and I brought a new map with me. ;)

HOLD ON a SECOND!!! I have to WARN YOU!!! CS:S (Counter-Strike Source) HL-2 and its episodes Are NOT required! Since I created the map with Gmod vanilla hammer tool, no custom textures or models, that is why the map file has a small file size, but the map is a medium size map (not a big map but not a small map either).

Now the actual map description :)

What are you going to find in this map you ask? Well, let me tell you: It's a winter map which has a town in it. The map has 4 section:

1. Park (has 2 additional enterable buildings - small canteen and a small apartment.)
2. Small town square (has 2 additional enterable buildings - small canteen and a small apartment.)
3. Tunnel.
4. Big apartament area (the one with a hole in a celling :P) It has some snow in the park area, and snowfall everywhere ;).

Additional information:

The map has AI-nodes. The map has HDR (High-dynamic-range) - you can disable it in the game menu options. The map has snowfall. The map has a sun - can be edited with ingame sun editor. The map is surrounded by fog - can be edited with ingame fog editor. I don't recommend running nav_generate for nextbots because they can't go to the second floor in the apartament area.

Stuff that I wanted to add but failled miserably: :(

I wanted to add a 3d skybox but I'm still learning how to properly implement it to the map.

I wanted to add cubemaps, but I still need a better understanding of how they work and where to place them.

I also wanted to add some soundscapes and ambient generic which would have casted sounds like wind, birds flying, and so on....

The last thing I wanted to add was proper shadows, so far no clue how they work :\

Post Process stuff:

If you want to make this map look like in the thumbnail, look at the pictures and change the setting accordingly in game by using Post Process -> Bloom and Color Modification settings.

Thank you for your attention, I hope you enjoy the map as much as I do! :D
