I'm excited to see this map in-use for servers.

Re: Making of City 17.

When will this map be available to the public? It looks perfect for my upcoming server launch.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Just because it goes public does't mean you can use it as you wish, best idea is to ask him through pm's or steam.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Kill22pro mainly wanted community leaders/HL2RP owners to betatest (I am one of them, huehue.) and he's wanted me to ask people in my community what they wanted to see, basically he probably is.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

If the map is released to the public, it is quite difficult to control its use, if people just respected authors, everything would be great

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Hnngh, I wanna use this map so bad ._. Hope you don't restrict it, can understand if you would seeing as you worked on it for what... a year? Our server won't stop changing maps and decide on one.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

It isn't possible to restrict the use of a map.

The most you'll really be able to do is ask that people don't use it, but seeing how everyone downloads it when they connect, you're not going to have much luck.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Put your name everywhere.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

That doesn't restrict the use, and is likely to annoy people that are playing on it.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Yes.. putting your name right at the start/trainstation... possibly like c45... could be mentioning that cause server plays that map... Mention yourself alot.... Don't allow people to edit... (Probably already know that), edit as in mess around the map, move shit blah. Hopefully it turns into a big hit... like Apoc's weird industrial17 including his beach..

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Putting his name at the spawn is enough.

Don't need it plastered everywhere.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

I won't be keeping it restricted, just till the open beta starts.
The thing is, I can't keep it under control anyway.
At first I was 100% making this for my own community but that changed over the time, I noticed that a lot of people were interested in this map and then I realized that keeping it restricted won't do any good.
I'm making this map for free, only lost some cash in hosting the closed beta and spent a year of time in it, well... a year... maybe 6 months, the other 6 were mostly messing around and learning how to map.

And about the credits spam like on C45, I won't be doing that.
It's VERY annoying when you play on a map that has a huge spam advertisement on the billboard, it takes you right out of the RP and admins will propblock it off anyway.
I'll put a credits texture somewhere or maybe have text appear in your screen on first map load (on server restarts).

I'm just bringing you guys a map for free and hope you enjoy it, I put my best work into it and I hope people will respect that and not edit it and remove credits. (That's why I do restrict editing though)

 

Re: Making of City 17.

You should put a paypal email somewhere in the credits, so those that want to donate can.

 

Re: Making of City 17.

It has been a year!
On this exact date a year ago, this project started!
Wohoo! :
But it still has not been released yet :-\
Good news though, the open beta will launch some day between now and 2 weeks, I will announce the exact date as soon as possible! (We will gotta pick the right day)

PS. I've updated the main topic page/post, please take a look and read the edit!

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Very excited for this map!

 

Re: Making of City 17.

Just donated 30$. I hope it helps.


Really, really can't wait for this map.
