gm_nether_01

Cool little side project I did. This is a port of a Half Life 2 Beta map called "nether_01" made by Marc Laidlaw. It has nothing to do with the main story line of the Beta and seems to just be a random map Marc created for fun.

Some things have been altered. All scripting and broken entities have been removed, some brushes had to be removed, some textures were replaced (until I'm able to get my hands on more HL2 Beta materials) and the water has been changed to use planar reflections.

Generally speaking this is a much more brighter and bloomy map compared to Beta Half Life 2. Mainly due to new graphical additions like HDR, bloom and a ton of changes to Source since the original 2003 version. I won't be doing much to this map afterwards but it serves as a good learning experience on porting maps.
