VMF WIP Release; Mapping Resource

Makkon

Okay, seeing as how I'll be gone for 2 years without making any progress on these maps, I think it's fine to officially release all of my decent WIPs. These files are all in RARs containing the VMF files (some may contain several, showing progression of the map) and BSPs (some may be out of date compared to the VMF). I'm doing this because I'm not likely to do anything with them when I get back, and because I want to help out some struggling artists and mappers. Interlopers.net is welcome to use these files in any way they see fit. These are for you guys.

You are welcome use use these in the following way:
1. You may open and view these files for educational purposes
2. You may modify and expand these files
3. You may release these maps compiled, modified or unchanged
4. You may redistribute these files
5. You may use sections or parts of these files in your own projects
6. You may use entire files in your own projects

UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
1. You give full credit to the original author Ben Hale, or Makkon. These files are artistic property and must be treated with respect to the creator.
2. You use these files with dignity and respect.
3. You do not redistribute modified VMFs
4. You do not redistribute map prefabs of these files
5. You do not distribute modified prefabs
6. You do not take full credit for modified maps or map sections. You may only release modified maps or map sections if you give credit to the original author Ben Hale, or Makkon.

You are God. Thank you.

Makkon

Thanks Cody
I just updated the post with some more pictures of maps, and added two new files (dm_mappingrace and dm_skywalks). I went through my entire folder, and I think now I have everything online worth uploading. Maybe next I can upload some of my models for everyone to check out.

Great job on posting these, Makkon. I hope they are treated well and respected by everyone who uses them and that you are credited correctly if distributed.
Its definitely a great starting point for any mappers out there using the Source Engine. Good luck with everything, mate.

These will definitely get me started...great designs by the way.

hawken

really like the feeling you have going on here with these environments, fired up a few on my mac and everything ran smoothly - out of all of them, trainhouse was the most interesting. It's a shame it doesn't compile properly to give it the light and shadow it needs, but I know how much of a pain it can be, compiling for quake3 was no easier.

Kinda got me interested in the whole mapping scene again, thanks.

Makkon

Thank you guys. I hope that people will find these useful too. I'm glad you like them.
Hawken: Trainhouse is one of the maps I spent the least amount of time on, but it came from a burst of inspiration. I gave up on it after it compiled without a sun. Hopefully someone will figure out what's wrong and release a working, playable version.

Here's an upcoming release. The final release will not bear definite resemblance to an LDS temple. For one, I don't want deathmatch associated with a holy temple of God. Secondly, this is for a client, and this version is for a logo animation; he requested a combination of an LDS temple and a castle. The final release will just look like a castle/cathedral.

But here it is so far:




Also, here's the songs I made for the logo animation. Both are 17 seconds long.
