Well I have a lot of free time cause I'm on holidays, but when I do go back to school I'll still have some free time. Anyway yes, that's exactly what I meant when I said “you have no bottom on you map.” Anyhow it nice to be appreciated so thanks for the thanks.
lol ok, ive put a square brush under the map to compensate for the displacement... and i am jsut getting on with it... i am also on holicdays after doing gcse's so thats why i am building this map. but im not sure hat to build next. but there is a problem when i try to compile my map i get this message. Code: Valve Software - vrad.exe SSE (Jan 16 2006) ----- Radiosity Simulator ---- 2 threads Could not find lights.rad in lights.rad. Trying VRAD BIN directory instead...

dun dun der solved... i had the skybox walls right on the edge of the grid, so i moved them in and it compiled... so i played it for a while and looked at the things i need to improve...
ok so i took some images of my map, theres still loads to be done but here is the basic view... http://hosted.filefront.com/dnc666 i did put resourse points and props in but the props do not show up on my map... can anyone uggest why?
have you selected a model for your resourse_point_props, you can use any model you like but you should not use anthing bigger the a Refinery
well i looked but i dont know where the standard one i want is (the one from emp_isle). but that should sort out the problem.

cool so i now have seeable resource points... but the thing that i am not sure about is running into the skybox. i know that it will block you, but i was wondering what should go around the outside, any suggestions?
emp_isle has water around the skybox and emp_canyon has hills but emp_duststorm dose not have anything, its really up to what you think. if you do somthing like emp_canyon then you don't have to have a 3D skybox but there easy to make anyway.
i thought my map had the 3d skyboxin it, well i cant see any corners when i look in the corner. but i will think of something, i did experiment with high cliffs, but i was thinking maybe a bit that goes down and if anyone falls of the "plateu"(sp?) than i will make it so they die instalntly. oh and i put fog in but its a little too dense so i will make it a little less occur-rent... but im on my way to finishing, i pretty much know what else to do....
I did get the messages, but the sizes you gave me are HUGE, it's a lot bigger then any other empires buildings. I made a good size imp bunker as seen below but the x is only 1160, y is 1173 and the height is just 275.5 and take note, only half of the x & y is the bunker (the rest is just tank traps) and some of the bottom dose go through the ground. If you want to make it that huge size, I highly recommend to make it in hammer as it will be a lot Quicker and easier to make. but I can make models for it like railing, staircases or even doors, so it's doesn't look so empty (that is the main goal for model after all).
