Welcome to my 1,000 subscriber special!

After exploring the original Dustbowl on Team Fortress Classic, I wanted to see a version made for Team Fortress 2. When I saw that nobody had made one, I knew instantly that I had to do it myself. It was a grueling task, but totally worth it in the end!

Thank you so much for 1,000 subscribers! I didn't think it would happen this quick, but I am happy to be able to reach and entertain so many of you! I intend to keep putting out interesting videos, so subscribe if you want to see more! Your feedback and support always make me glow! 💙💚❤️

That feeling of pure joy when the "I made" youtuber actually did make something themself

[woojoo]

I've got a great idea; Nightrock (Mossrock but night, and since Mossrock is in a jungle, I'm certain it'd be almost pitch black)

I'm so glad the tf2 mapping community still has a presence on youtube, keep up the good work!

[Dr_Dan_]

you've done a great job! i love how the textures and geometry blend together way less on source than on goldsrc. also congrats for the 1k subs, and for 2k soon! also the mic quality is so good, really pleasing to hear

[colbybryant]

could you possibly make a follow up video showing the map in action on you’re server? Would love to see all that work you put in play out in a real match!

Transparent pixels on images still store color data. The blue halo effect you see on textures with transparent parts is because those transparent pixels are still blue and when the game engine smoothes out the pixelated texture it draws from the colors of nearby pixels and grabs the blue. To fix this, color the transparent pixels with something like the average color of the rest of the texture and then make them transparent again.

Edit: oh somebody beat me to it. Don't use black for the transparent pixels because it can create a black halo/outline effect. Use a color that matches the rest of the texture.

Im so happy I came across this video! A couple years ago i tried to import the half life blue shift maps into gmod and i ran into some issues with how the map was converted, leading to most textures not lining up correctly with the level geometry. I just converted the maps using the method you described in this video and the texture data seems to have properly carried over! I know it wasn’t your intent to make a tutorial, but this video just helped me a lot!

I'd love to see mappers take the layout of old maps like this, and recreate them in TF2's style. I know that's well beyond what you have time for, but I thought I'd float the idea.

[icefairytf]

Wow. The dedication for this map recreation

I’ve been missing TF2 mapping on youtube since UEAK left. Also this reminds me of 3kliksphilips video about porting CS 1.6’s map nuke to CS:GO.

Not sure if you know this, but VTFedit has a batch converter. You can put all the textures in a folder and convert everything within that folder at the same time, WAY easier than doing them one by one. I wish I knew that long ago.

Great job LED! I am sure people who had beautiful memories of the original dustbowl are thankful that people like you can make these maps come to life with enhanced lightening and access through Team Fortress 2.

Good job!

Alright I'm going to subscribe now. I've seen some pretty good stuff from here. And I know it's only going to get better. Sometimes that is.

[DudeMannProds]

I would say just play fortress forever if it weren't dead as the dinosaurs

[krazzy]

I still play TFC to this day so this project is very warming to me. Really big props to hard work like this. A full map conversion from one game to another is a massive feat. So cool to have an accolade like that under the belt. Great work.

Another thing is many tools for goldsource is that many things that you have to use for modding is very VERY old and could have issues with new pcs.

[RashadGarcia]

This is absolutely phenomenal, anything you do is amazing with many details from the original, BLOODY BRILLIANT!

[wad]

was in my recommended. Good video. Subbed!

[that--gremlin]

I love this, Ive always been interested in map design in video games something about it has always peaked my interest and because of your videos im finally looking into it and maybe one day I will be able to make my own map

Ya know with the name led i think he should have a catch phrase: EAT LED!!!
