Firstly, I apologize if this is going against the rules, but what you see here was a project that I, rather, used the game engine for the purposes of creating a still image. I wanted to see a castle (or keep, or whatever) in a large grassy/forest area, bathed in moonlight, and with a touch of warm light resonating from the castle. I made it posible for the Castle to be viewed at multiple angles, and I even did a little interior piece as well. I spent a lot longer of a time working on this than I originally anticipated, but I really like the outcome. I was curious what other people might think of it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccbMS_2jQF0Thanks a lot! It's sometimes really hard to find tuts for the specific things, haha!
Haha, exactly what you need.
Thanks guys, glad you like it so far!
And there may possibly be custom weapons added in, but as you see, I am a big time noob when it comes to scripts/importing in models and making other stuff work that requires work outside of the map maker, haha! So I can't give a definitive yes or no one that right now.
Holy fucking shit, something that looks good, is original and is not 1% done.Again, thanks a lot, I have spent quite a bit of time just putting in details like rubble/loads of decals, debris props, and what not. I'd say that this is probably only about 45% complete. I still have a whole other section to add in, which is the street side. Going to have to draw up some plans for that!
Looks pretty detailed to me, keep it up. (I love the lighting!) Will there be any custom weapons, by chance?Thanks to you too! As I said, I have spent many hours putting in the small details! Glad you like you lighting, I come from the film world as both a camera technician and a Director of Photography, so I have been trying my best with the lighting!

[WIP] Factory Street
This will be my second map to upload to the workshop, and boy, is it an improvement over the last one!
In this map, I am hoping for it to be more of a medium sized map, where the player starts in a factory, and then works their way out and into the streets and possibly some other buildings; and that will probably be where the Pack - a - Punch resides (also haven't decided, or even know if I can do this, if the Pack - a - Punch machine will be something that will have to be crafted by the player).
I should also mention that a lot of this map is inspired by Der Riese, in fact I used some of the same design methods that are present in The Giant, if you guys manage to spot em'. There are also secrets in this map, though I didn't really display any of them in the screenshots, you'll just have to play the map and look for em' when it's out!
So far, the map features:
Anyways, have a peak and let me know what you think, especially if you have any suggestions!

So far, the map features:
- Perk machines (will update this to a more accurate list as I finish deciding and placing in the machines, not sure if I will put all in, but maybe.
- Pack - a - Punch
- Dog rounds
- A working elevator, courtesy of ZombieKid164
- Zombies will not spawn/crawl out of the ground in plain sight
- Maybe custom music for the rounds. (There are currently two tracks that have been made already, but I dunno if I really like em that much)
- Detailed level design (I hope!)
Anyways, have a peak and let me know what you think, especially if you have any suggestions!

Hello again. This time I seem to be having this weird issue in one specific room, and I haven't the slightest clue as to why. (and I have pictures in game and in the editor for you guys to check out as well, follow this photobucket link here, http://s1376.photobucket.com/user/masterguyperson_the_second/library/Troubleshooting?sort=3&page=1)
SO, what is happening, basically, in game - once the player is in this one, and only one, room, it's as if the player is looking through a big caulk texture, where all parts of the room are vanishing and bits and pieces will appear and disappear seemingly at random. Upon investigating in Radiant, there is no caulk texture that appears to be hiding within this room. If you guys will take a look at the link I have supplied, I'm wondering, if maybe there is a rouge reflection_probe that may be causing the problem? Maybe a certain model is the culprit? Could it be a problem with the actual textures of the walls, or maybe even some of the FX I have set up up in there???
One thing that I want to point out, I did a test where I removed the walls and the floors (leaving all the props and decals that were on the floors and walls); upon booting up the map and entering the room, everything seemed to appear as they should, aside from the missing walls and floors of course. When I added the walls back (note that I didn't just CTRL+Z/undo what I did, I actually took the time to add back new walls) and even putting on a different texture, the same problem reoccurred, unfortunately.
Does anyone know what is the cause of the problem, and have any kind of solution?
Thanks!

Gee, this will be the third time in a row that I have answered my own question after posting for help.
So I was finally able to eradicate the problem, and I'll explain what I did in just a moment. But first, let me pitch my theory as to why this was happening. SO, the room that I was referring to was closed off (at least visually). The room had only one doorway at the time, and there was a door in that doorway. My guess is that something might of confused the optimization protocols of the game, being that there should be no way that the player should be able to see into that room, as there were no windows, no holes in the door, or anywhere, and because of that it just glitched the hell out of that room - that's just a guess that I had, it kind of sounds silly, but I have no other kind of explanation as to what was happening, haha!
What I did to solve the problem was me finishing putting in the second doorway on the level below the first. I did not put a door into that second doorway, and lo and behold, the room is appearing just as it should be!
Beats me as to what to real problem was, but I am just glad that it's working as it should be now, yay!

Most welcome friend, I'm glad I was able to help you out!
Okay, so now I have run across a new issue, in that when ever I try to have an item drop the ground via hotkey or by pushing the button in the toolbar, the item will drop to about what would be 3 feet above any surface it is above. I don't get why it would - it doesn't appear that I am dropping items on a brush that I didn't see, just to plug that hole.
So, for example, all the grass that I would like to put on my deformed terrain would be an absolute pain if I couldn't simply use that function, as again, they would all just be floating above the surface, and I would manually have to place each patch on the ground.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
EDIT: Ah, once again I was able to figure out shortly after posting, haha! It's as simple as ticking and making sure that "override drop height to zero" is on. You can find this check box in the tool bar at the top of radiant, and it's has an icon of a zero with a slash through it.
