Laboratory X18 | Now you are Curious? ;)

[opti2000]

Hello guys

I am a passionate mapper and also a big fan of the STALKER series. So i've decided to create a replica of the underground laboratory X18 from the original game Shadow of Chernobyl.

If you are sceptical how that would look like here are some pictures.

Please note that the map is still in a early construction phase and the entire 2nd lower floor is missing. Need some time to finish everything of it :)

After finishing everything i would like to release it for a public beta testing and maybe you guys can use it for something :)

Also if i finished this project i wanna recreate all the areas of the original game of STALKER. I know it is a big project but i like to map because its my hobby :) I hope you liked it so far.

Opti2000 i would recommend you use our content (Textures, sounds and models) for your maps, we have hundreds of models and textures from the STALKER game.

Beautiful.

Oh really?

I allready ported a lot of Textures from the original game to use it for mapping but you guys got models?

Where can i get those models?

It's in our SVN. http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/the-cordon/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-content-pack-*dl*-thread/

Looks really good.

Well, i know you guys are roleplaying stalker.

So my question is do you have special wishes to optimize X18 for roleplaying?

You know, if you want us to use one of your maps, they have to be designed for roleplay and have to be huge. Current maps we have take up entire sections of the game or bigger. Sadly this lab map would only suit being an event map.

But if it could be integrated into chernobyl.... that'd be cool.

Thats not a big deal to integrate X18 in another map but i will not do this. Because i want it like in the original game,
I want the perfect replica in the source engine. I will implement it in my dark valley map. Yes you guys read correctly i am also recreating the dark valley :)

It'd be great if the underground would be integrated into our map though. Would be one of the best places to do events.

Okay well your cute cat signature convinced me. I'll think about that implementing X18 in one map of your choice.  ;D

I am now trying to improve the atmosphere of the map.
Here is a perfect example.


(Guess which part this is)  ;D

[INA7HAN]

Does it come with slender man? That'd be awesome, slender man was created by the zone in the lab and is out to kill you :P

Change the light model to red and add a fake red light or a sprite to show where it's emitting from.

Hey guys wazzup dont worry im not dead still working on the map i am nearly finished. Just need to create the big hall where you meet the first time a pseudogiant and the room with the test laboratory.

But i got a question: Is here maybe someone who is experienced in ripping models? Well i mean i got the basics of X18 (Rooms, hallways, Stairs etc) but its so empty. I dont have the appropriate "props" and i dont want use some shit from the HL2 series. Just asking.

I tried to rip things from the original game with 3DXripper and loaded them into blender but well that was my first time using blender haha xD But well nevermind. Hope someone can help me with the models.

EDIT: Also i want to ask what you guys want next as a map?

There are a ton of models in the SVNs (The STALKER one specifically), which you can find here: http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/announcement/?aid=2

Awww sorry and thanks. But it takes so long with SVN to download this.

EDIT: seriously the download takes too long is there also a normal download link? I just need the models thats all.
