i'm working hard on my map and its coming along pretty good so far, hopefully i can have the motivation and the ideas to actually pout it out there, this will be the first big source release of a map i made, so i got my fingers crossed that i can finish this nicely, i'll talk to Mr. Homicidious :-P about the beta testing

lol Deski, my idea is a whole neighborhood snowed in and you fight under an ice cavern where all the houses are. Thats what I meant by the ideas are kinda the same. I just started working on the cavern displacements and I don't want to change ;P

EDIT: I am fine with you doing what you want, I very much doubt we will make anything close to eachother. Just wanted to give you a heads up

Nice ideas from all. I hope Stormseeker won't mind us using his models... I was planning to credit him.
I'm still thinking about how I can make the main room of my hotel "warmer". I'd need a big old-looking bookshelve with old books in it, and a texture for a nice carpet. With that, I could make a "reading corner" which immediately adds a "cold winter night" atmosphere to the map.

The upper floors with the hotel rooms will be easier to make, and I'm tinkin about making a pool that goes partially outside.

PS Is it normal that whenever I make a map not using my own textures, I have the feeling the map is not really "mine"?

Wish I had the time to create my own textures for this one... would be a nice challenge (for me)

does snow still not work in source?

Snow works in source- func_precipitation: type: snow

edit: oh there is snow and snowfall for type. Anyone know the difference?

Yeah. Snowfall works, snow doesn't.

I used snowfall in Nightmare's prison room.

I need some opinions: I'm hesitating between two kinds of wallpanels...
Which one do you prefer? This:

Or this?

first one.

The second one looks less out of place in the room, but it looks so bare. The first one makes the room seem less empty, but the walls just look a little off to me.

So I'd say the second one with some more props(that bookcase you were talking about, maybe some pictures/paintings) to break the repeatitiveness. The first one would work with a lot less work though.

First one looks more christmassy

The red is definitely a nice touch, but it's abnormal. That doesn't mean get rid of it; just add stuff to make it work. Also, the lobby seems kind of overly massive, but that's up to you.
