i dont know how to add pics to forum so if you know tell me pls(ty magic) (i think ill keep the pics on googles thingy cus i will be posting a lot cus i likes pictures)
*update* 6:26pm Japan time FEB 21: added more pics showing hallway with cubemaps compiled and processed

*update* 9:38pm Japan time FEB 21(lolz nothing bettar to do): more pics of entrance to a room, upped brighness from side lights...

*update* 6:48pm Japan time FEB 22: pic of service corridors leading to SeCrEt ShiZ?

*update* 6:53pm Japan time FEB 22: aaah earthquake :'(

*update* 5:52pm Japan time FEB 23: zambispawn...dont know if i shud add something looks a little bland. 2 openings to rest of map (how about 4?I know where i could fit them in)(done 4 exists prepare for molestation adventure humans)

*update* 10:24pm Japan time FEB 25: cafeteria (RIP quarantine this map wll have same features too only a little less nerfed) lols i know i added breen chairs. Is it too bright? maybe a button to turn lights on off? (done)

*update* 4:55pm JaPaN TiMe FEB 27: map isnt scenic enough, i add window room bishes. SPACE or EARTH?

*update* 10:01pm 0.0 japan time MAR 4: not much effort into this next cading room, but it has a neat camping spot in a neat little room reached by a ladder.

*update* 6:03pm jup timzmAr 5: i made another little room, its the armoury, in it is an rpg so you can blow up zambies (i figured it wouldnt be much use later on in the game when everyones caded). the armoury is dangerous! Zambies can come thu vents and break the fans! (nu i change mind)

*update* 9:32pm jp time (only 3 and a half hours O.O) the last cading room. a vast bottomless pit with a sphere suspended out in the void connected to by a bridge. couldnt see what else to add so i left it like tat. this room is ment for cade kit (no props see haha!)

*update* 10:58pm j t MAR 6 guess wat you guyz i finished loooooloooooloooool heres a crappy vid for you fags

Same situation with sanders.

i cant fix them completely becase the server lag, it happens with all doors on any map. in thenew version i just made them less likely to get stuck, but there are still some pricks who glitch them on purpose so you can kick them if they do. eg they glitch the one door into a room and stay there then you can kick or someone refuses to stand back and let the doors open properly you can kick.

ill try to refran from using these style of doors in my next map

I know you have heard it all about the stupid doors. Just wanna let you know that the corridors and overall design of the map is excellent, I don't know how you made it so detailed.

the way i did it... i actually made every part of the map in a different vmf, like worked on the hallways then elevators etc. all i had to do in te end was put them together. it requred some imagination and precision of measurement and the map will take longer to compile even with all the func details i had (probably 80 or sumthing percent of the map is func detail), but it was nescessary to do this because of the setting.
