Title: City8 VMF's ready for Catalyst. Ideas?
Post by: Statua on March 27, 2012, 12:35:28 PM

I talked to Davebrown about City8 and he agreed to let me modify the map for CG's needs

Statua: You wouldnt happen to have the vmf of city8 do you?

Davebrown: Just decompile it.

Statua: Decompiling breaks all areaportals and deoptimizes a lot of things. It can also cause brush and ent errors. If you could get me the VMF of City8 and City8_2, that would be greatly appreciated.

Davebrown: Be sure to extract the custom content from the maps RARs and put them in the right folder (ep2 i use) so you see all the shit when mapping with it.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? The pack contains:

rp_city8
rp_city8_2
rp_city8_canals
rp_city8_outlandstest
rp_salvation_2_stalker_snow

Nice, I would suggest either smashing those maps together (I hear your awesome at that)

Or just expand on city8/city8_2

City8_2 is unstable due to it wihin a few brushes of the brush limit. Will most likely do city8

I'd like to see rp_city8_outlandstest, I'm having trouble trying to imagine what it would look like, buy most likely pretty cool.

As much as I understand you, the name says outlands. And this is for the city server.

Statua, you should focus on the citizens, give them somethings to do other than a bench in a plaze and a building with apartments.
Yes, this may seem(is) very hard and my expectation of this may be high, but 'Christ, you're a very good mapper and I'm sure you can do it.
- Make a comparison why C45 is used right now at not C8.

Perhaps this time the CCA couldn't get everything handed to them on a plate, such as a pre-made RDT where all you do is press buttons.

Citizen wise, some areas that promote passive RP, although I have none at the moment as I only play on OLs with a Citizen char.

 All you do is merge a few maps together into one and add additional props which makes you are a great mapper (i am fucking serious about that too). On the otherhand, you should add a few sniper towers along with the border between a country (search up the Tokyo border in Google images), add a airport probably and a large tower (if you can make one ofcourse). Something in resemblence to rp_apocalypse.

Make it very open, with lots of hidden areas. Example: The hidden bar in D6, The Sewers, any other place.

Don't make it super retarded like City18, how it's all dark and shit. It's to hard to see anything.

Well, I personally love the City 8 maps, with the exception of RP_City8_2 (eyerape city for me), and I think, perhaps you could expand on the maps, and also:

REMOVE the Vending Machine Entrance. It promotes meta-gaming and lolwebuling.
