City 2 Development

How to encourage bad mapping 101. By not using nodraw where possible it not only increases the compile times but can also decrease performance in game also. The more you know.

 

Most of the time I nodraw the entire thing after I'm done finishing off the area.

It's easier for me to just work on it first, then do the optimization afterwards (Except with func_detail, I always do that while I work.) Everyone has their different work tactics, and it's up to me how I handle it.

And the bridge I'm not even done yet, it's just there as a placeholder, to know that there will be some sort of other structure leading to the other side.



Also, Kane worked on City 2 for about a year or so, then gave up the project to work on Industrial 17.

He handed the rein's over to me.

EDIT: Also a lot of the brushes that look out of place are stretched down to cover an entryway so I can fast compile, because I'm a lazy bum, mfw too lazy to make another brush, or I'm possibly saving brushes, as cutting some of those brushes would create 2 brushes where only one is needed. Players don't particularly care about the "outside" of the map.

EDIT EDIT: Redid the bridge with prop_physics and proper supports.

 

so to be clear this map isn't always going to have that annoying ass train sound? i remember you stating in the workshop page that it would only be locked to FG.

EDIT: i'm probably late in asking this but not like it matters

 

Temporary fix was posted onto the workshop page.

 

No, it won't.

That's part of releasing it.

 

making sure because heartbit tried to do the same thing, iirc it pissed off everyone

 

Day 9

- Was only on for about an hour. I got the Consul room from the leak pack, retextured it, and have it corrently positioned within the map to be implemented. This texturing is WIP, until I can find what looks perfect.

Hello everyone, and hello Alex, long time. Just so everyone understands, this map was a WIP before I handed it off to Kerm. There was probably a lot of work to do, and I'm glad people are enjoying it. I basically have up work on this map after helping Apoc finish the industrial map. I could help continue work and finish the map as I have a lot of other areas laying around in hammer I never got around to merging. I hope people appreciate the vision I was going for making it gritty and beta-like while keeping things smaller to accommodate for more role play. It's been a long time since I've played garrysmod, with kids and family it's hard to make time anymore but if it becomes popular, I could set some time aside every week to help finish it.

 

Thank you for your words Kane. Now will all of you scrubmcnoobs play nice?

 

I love you man

 

Day 10

Spoiler

Did judgement waviers. Was only on for a little bit.

 

was that really worth a spoiler?

Either way, it looks alright I suppose.

 

Really liking the look of this map. I can see great things coming.

 

I thought Freedom Roleplay closed down [member=3360]Kemerd[/member]
Regardless, I hope you don't abandon this shiznit and don't make it shit

I like it.

 

read the fucking thread first

 

Sorry, I haven't had the chance to work on City 2 since my last post.

I'm probably not going to be able to for about a week.

:-\

 

I like what you've done with the map. Keep doing what you're doing.

 

Still a bit busy with getting my minecraft server up and running.

Hopefully I can resume progress soon.

 

This map is honestly one of the better ones out there.

I'm VERY impressed, keep up the good work. For now, this is going on my server.

 

lmao wtf! There can't be a city 2 because breen said it had been vaporized in hl2.
