It has missing textures. Please fix that.

im gonna wheel around it in a wheelchair

you have my respect, because this is the mineshaft i wanted and this is the perfect one

In hammer create an entity and set the type to 'light' or 'light_spot', then you can make a second entity ( prop_static ) to make a world model representing the light source (lamp, floodlights, etc.)

hi i made my first mineshaft Map! and i was wondering sheeplie how do i make lighting. so it is all dark?.

@sam there are some other good ones you could check out by other mappers. HighVoltage did a cool underground map (I forgot what it was called).

Sheeplie can you make more of these mineshaft maps i really like them and please i look all over the workshop for years for things like this but only find crappy things.

Nicee

@Sheeplie hey man :P! I am still developing my map currently, it's sort of a campaign series, but not with a definite plot or anything yet :P

And thanks so much for the help, that youtuber you mentioned has very good tutorials!

@Sheeplie alright, nice :P. Btw, the map is really good :P

Cool, can't wait to see what you do.

Oh and I forgot to mention, if I ever finish creating a map and decide to upload it to the workshop, I will notify you about it :P

@Sheeplie thanks a lot for the tips, these are very useful! I will check out the youtube tutorials aswell, and try to get to know Hammer a little more.

@Peebis

I'm a novice as well, but here are a few things I can tell you:

1. Start every brush as the nodraw texture, Use the face-texturing tool to texture only the sides of brushes that you want visible.

2. Use light_spot if you can, instead of the regular 'light' entity. It's a lot nicer.

3. Make sure that before you try to actually do anything, you've experimented with every tool and know how to use it. I cannot tell you how much I regret using the snipping tool to try to make better shapes out of my brushes, when I could have just used the much easier vertex tool to achive that purpose.

4.Spend time paying attention to detail, this map I made here was quite rushed since it took me like a day.

5. Check out some youtube tutorials by TopHattwaffle if you're wondeirng how to do anything specific. He knows a lot of interesting tricks.
