City 45

[.:KFrohman:.]

As a few of you are aware, We're planning on changing maps. There is no set date, but it will be "soon".

We were going to switch to a day and night compatible version of C18, but the source limits were nearly maxed out, which meant we had no headroom to add various things.

The map's based off C45 v1. There's a dedicated ration terminal, which deals with rations manually. There's also queue lines for said terminal. The nexus has a Judgement Waiver room, along with controls for a checkpoint. The nexus has a new addition for the amputation of citizens. I shall not reveal it.

In the works is a fully fledged conference suite (done). It has a pretty nifty partypiece. Also being looked at, is a shooting range, agility course and Breaching rooms. All of this is located underground.

AFAIK The move will be RP'd somehow. I just don't know when or how or what.

Map done, several million revisions later.

Update.

Added nodes. Never done them before. Tested it out, works fine, could do with refinement though.

This means that during an exogen breach, Antlions will no longer sit idle. They'll find you.
To counter this, there are 4 Thumpers, 3 located in the plaza. They are remote controlled by CCA units, within the nexus, along with an alarm.

Nice! Keep up the good work. Can you also try to add that Nexus shield thats in the V2 version of the map into the map we're using?

[.:KFrohman:.]

Will have a look.

Update: With the nodes prior, I noticed that there were slight issues with nodes and how antlions behaved. It looked wrong. 300 nodes or there about. Now? There's over 1100.

Could you possibly add func_areaportal so the map is optimized?

Also guess on the new way for amputation..

Fire pit or chamber.

[.:KFrohman:.]

There are already some. I'll see what I can do though.

Just don't go overboard with shiny lights and stuff, my PC struggles as it is on big maps :V

[.:KFrohman:.]

Obligatory images

[BltElite]

Man it seems good so far. Don't like the floor material of the what seems to be training room though.

[chunkeymonkey79]

Damn son, I just shat bricks.

Anyway, that map looks pretty good so far. One thing I don't like about C18 is a small Nexus.

But judging by the pictures, it looks pretty decent sized.

Also, to RP changing maps, we could round up the citizens and take them all to the trainstation spawn and RP the citizens getting on the train. And the CCA flying out through the Nexus or something.

Just a thought.

[.:KFrohman:.]

Note to self: Avoid working on this map in future.

Seriously. NOTHING FUCKING LINES UP.
This causes leaks. I've had to fix 10 within the last 10 minutes. I don't know when I'll finish.

Good news is, once I have, the map will be ready to go.

Bad news is, the area portals are leaking out the ass for NO REASON WHATSOEVER. MAD.

But it's such a good job Kaz! Don't give up lol
