Hi there! I happened to come across this map in a random youtube video and happened to notice that the textures in this level are stolen.

Specifically the texture you've used here for the wooden crates belongs to the Handpainters Guild and is actively used as our logo.

I'd like to give you a quick reminder that textures you find on google are not public domain and you can't do whatever you wish with them.
Please remove our material from your map, thank you.

I have only just seen your comment but still it took me a while to think of an appropriate response. I would like to state that I do agree with your comment and I will update the map within tomorrow (to not contain your texture). I have however bought every other texture on my map. It is my mistake, I had not been able to track down the origin of your texture, as I love the design and would love to buy it from you.
TL:DR: I am sorry, I will remove the texture. No hard feelings.

Hey, Oploz! I am the artist who originally made that texture. No hard feelings here too! I appreciate your response and transparency. You don't have to buy it from me, but credit would be appreciated. To avoid a situation like this, just a quick ask for permission would be enough for some artists (if they aren't using the texture in a store somewhere or already in a game somewhere else). If you can't find the original artist, I'd be careful to not use it at all if you plan to publicly post your work. Google image search can help you find the original artist if you really want to use it and ask their permission.

TLDR: Not mad, no hard feelings too. :) Credit: www.estherlove.com Originally posted at: http://polycount.com/discussion/154675/sketchbook-azaraen

Take care and thank you for being understanding!

Azaraen I have now added you and your portfolio to the map description. I appreciate the friendliness. Love the texture btw ^^

You ok with me using it on my next map aswell? This time with credit to you in the description from the start. :)

Yes, you may use it! Thank you for crediting!

First, just want to say that I love the art style. Nice work @Azaraen!

@Oploz I noticed that in the map you're not able to pick up the key with a magneto stick. This, unfortunately, makes it so you're unable to unlock the gate on the other side of the map to access the secret knife.

I also noticed that it spawns in the same location every time, it might be worth setting it to randomly spawn in different locations whenever the map starts.

@Delta7x It should be fixed now, I also fixed the flashlight issue at certain point on the map

And if you have any feedback otherwise it would be appreciated

I have a bit of a problem. Certain Models and Textures are missing on my end, like the lanterns and the textures behind the sewer grates. Are there any addons and/or games required for all the models and textures? I'd greatly appreciate if you'd let me know.

I am recompiling all the textures into the map. It might work now. Please come back to me to confirm

Unfortunately it didn't seem to work, but thanks for the effort.
