My New RP Map - What do you want to see?

[WingZero]

Hey all, i've decided to give a little to the HGN community and I'm contructing a Roleplay map just for us!

On that note, I've noticed some things i don't like about some of our maps, and something i like etc. So i want to know, what you guys want, and expect in the map I'm making, don't hold your breath on it because i want it to be good, but ill be posting screen shots of it whenever i add a new key feature.

So far I have:

2 simple appartments (almost finished)
1 Large and, somewhat fancy Appartment, modeled off of an appartment in HL2
A plaza


Its a work in progress and its pretty tedious, hah. But here are the suggestions I've received

Coastal Map
Nexus should be like an old church, with an entrance underground.


So tell me, what else do you all want me to put in this thing???


<:: EDIT ::>

PICTURES, here's very little of what I have done, but I figured you all might want to see.



:nuke:<::NEW PICTURES!::> :nuke:

So I've been addicted to working on this map, and I think it shows, how does it look? (so far, of course)

Hey thar, don't sign your posts unless it's in the signature. protip.
Anywhoser, sounds cool, but when we were talking about the coastal map, we meant more of something along the lines of an outlands map for the rebels near an ocean, think those broken down rebel outposts in those coastal areas, in the driving parts of hl2, and ep2.

[WingZero]

Yeah that's exactly what i was thinking, i was using Highway 15 as a reference.

But, i am going to have a small city as well, i think it should be a decently large map.

If it's good, and we have some progress. I'll stick this bitch.

It would be nice to have a little reble area- but with some thing the combine can use to control (apartments and nexus like you said)

[nofearkid]

I don't think the outlands map should have a nexus... I think we need a place for refugees.

[WingZero]

I can put a city, with outlands no problem, its hard to explain, but you'll see.

[Creeding]

Is the map like the city...but big anuf to be the outlands aswell?

[Greenbeen]

make the outlands hard to get to, so we don't have random citizens going to the outlands.

[deluxulous]

Do want a nice classy jazz bar.

For the Nexus, be sure to have a little outcropping so a speaker can appear live for speeches without leaving the Nexus.

I?ve posted a map in the official map thread that pretty much has what everyone is talking about. The only thing is, nexus is inside a hospital. I just wish the download page had pictures of the place  :/'

EDIT!  Heres some screenshots from that one map... it might help you out.

The combine outpost(church)
Center of town
Dock/warehouse:
Light House:
Combine Jail:

[WingZero]

Yeah ill make the outlands hard to get to.. how i don't know. any ideas? and yeah its a small costal town, and the nexus will have the church tower to make announcements from, but i can make a podeum in the plaza.

Yeah That church thing is a lot like i imagined. I love that map.

[Silver Knight]

No... fucking... way.. you made this.... ? EPIC !

[WingZero]

No i didnt but that stuff isnt that hard to make >.>

[Strelok Holmes]

Two people (three if ya count me) agrees on getting that map(The one from the screenshots) onto the server. Reason, its not to big/not to small. The place is perfect for the amount of people you get mosty of the time (20-ish).

[Creeding]

Hmm...outlands only accessible by the a canals sort of place? like a sort of C45 canal? and is probebly hard to find or possible have a guarded entence? and maybe a main gate for combine use...only openible from the nexus and under constant guarding? ...please excuse the spelling and grammer mistakes.

The map from the screens is rp_venetian_v2, the Nexus isn't inside the Nexus, the hospital is PART of the nexus. In fact, in v1, the Hospital isn't there at all.

The "Center" of town is actually the docks...

[Fluffy]

I would love to see the following

Sewer system
Catwalk
Banners of Combine in certain places
Maybe a destroyable environment that wouldn't lag (Resistance bombing o.o)
Larger and more diverse slums

If you need a little help on the map just ask me. I'm a mapper myself.

[nofearkid]

You sure this is your first map?
