Description
Map summary

A map of the inside of the castle from the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 2002 PC Game.

The map comes with all of the textures, models, sounds, and magic (of course) that were in the original 2002 experience (some features are not included, see side information). It's also packed with all of the secrets as in the game, so try to find them all if you can (try not to cheat)! Unfortunately, you can't use magic to unlock the secrets, but if you have a keen eye then it'll be easy for you to find them. The spongify carpets (the green carpets with a swirly symbol on them) can by used by damaging (shooting / hitting) them.

The map is also equipped with a node graph and a navigation mesh for all of your Nextbot needs.

Side information

This project took 7 months to make and the process can be described as mostly painful (and boring). I didn't include the Grand Staircase because the map was already reaching it's limits, so I'm sorry if you were expecting that to be included as well. Also, if you're a die hard fan of the game, you may notice that some of the map geometry sizes are wrong (ex. too big or too small), and I'm also sorry for that, but I was already too deep into the map making to fix these issues. Lighting also isn't completely accurate, but it was pretty much impossible to 100% mimic it.

You can read about the the creation process of this map in this PDF[mega.nz].

Feel like supporting my work?
If you feel like I deserve a reward for all of the hours of misery I had to endure to create this map, and for the sanity I have lost, I have a Ko-fi page[ko-fi.com] that you can donate to. I would greatly appreciate it. All proceeds will go to buying Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

@BushNinja Thank you. Yes, it still is possible, just go on myabandonware.com and search for the game, then click download and download the "Repack by MagiPack (includes fixes and dgVoodoo)" version.

@MaxElderKnight The next map is going to be the Filch library sneak section from HP1. Maybe after that I'll do the grounds, who knows. I took a bit of a break, but I'll start working on it again soon.

Are you planning to convert Hogwarts grounds next? Love the work :)

The map is complete! But there are still a couple of things I need to do. It should be released by the end of the week. :)

Lighting is done!

Most likely not this month. I've already started working on lighting and already got some rooms done, but it will very likely be released next month.
