Title: RP_Rockford Progress
Post by: Statua on July 26, 2013, 02:49:03 AM
If you wish to follow my progress on Rockford, this thread will be mostly up to date. For my latest thoughts, follow me at www.twitter.com/statua

Rockford is the map currently being designed for use with OCRP, however it will also be publicly released in hopes to become the new fad of Evocity. Its based on the coast of Oregon hence the cliffs, mountains, and oceanside beach. The map is also going to be a fully functional and accurate city including proper blocks with three digit addresses, realistic traffic lights with a 1 second all red, proper signage, and of course everything a city needs to run. Without further adoo, here's the progress information.

I changed the lighting on it to the HRP environment. Might change it again though. As for the roads they are'nt as wide as evocity but I might change that in some parts of the map. Its not that bad though. In evocity 2 ambulances and a person can fit in one lane tightly whereas rockford, only 2 ambulances fit in one lane. SO its about 64 units tighter then evocity. But like I said I'll widen some of the major roads.

Hospital is a destination, like a jail for PD. They are not going to start at the end point and move to where they need to be to transport someone back to the hospital. They spread out to minimize response time. This brings up the question, are there available areas for police and EMS to set up (IE near major intersections, near malls/supermarkets/gas stations) to be able to preform their duties and be out of the way of the general populous?

I know the sketch is rough, but please just remember to have plenty of spaces for parking (like v33x has), spaces for bus stops, and lots of different places for people to live in. I see a lot of freespace on the drawing. Just fill it out with something useful instead of mainly trees ;)

The old blueprint (which isn't in this thread anymore) shows plenty of parking spaces in the city, as well as area for bus stops, and current development pictures and things shown in Statua's stream show parking. There actually isn't, by the way, a lot of freespace in the city area, and you wouldn't put parking outside the city, except at gas stations. Areas that look like "freespace" on this current blueprint are elevated, inaccessible land, necessary to Statua's optimization techniques.

Unfortunately in order to optimize the 3 sectors in the city, this isnt going to happen. Sorry.

That's done in the gamemode itself, so you'd have to talk to Crap-Head or Pvt. Grif about that. Don't see why it shouldn't be added, though.

Map's coming along great, Statua. Can't wait to play it.

Even if it can, helicopters probably won't be (and shouldn't be) added. But if Statua says it can, then go and make a suggestion for it.
Title: Re: RP_Rockford Progress
Post by: Statua on August 05, 2013, 03:24:29 PM
Well the way optimization works right now, I most likely wont be able to add helicopters. If I did, FPS drops would be crazy which is not good. I'm trying to make this map output a decent framerate to all computers while not missing out on detail so.

Is there any way you can still have render point but keep the skybox open? o3o  Also, the hill, why not have on one side the hill is smaller and cutting it down in size you make it into a river aswell. :O

question... did you make cosmos city? o3o
Title: Re: RP_Rockford Progress
Post by: Statua on August 06, 2013, 12:22:20 AM
There is a way, however in order to do it i would have to make the skybox really tall and the walls cutting off sectors would also be high. You would have issues crashing into them lots and it would look like garbage. Not to mention compile times would skyrocket.

For the river. It would look silly if i tried to do it that way. And theres no way im moving buildigs or roads around.

I helped with cosmos city. I assume you ask because of my ambulance and fire dept?

I could but i'm not all that great with teching people. But I learned a lot of things from www.tophattwaffle.com who shows you how to do things very well and shows you how to do them the best way.

Still though, mapping is like any art and no matter how many tutorials you memorize, you still need to practice to make maps pretty.

Nikolai's Bugs:

Weird shadow:
The lighting is currently set up for developing so its shit i know.

The floor of the fire training center still has dev textures:
At the time, I hadn't yet figured out what to use as a flammable surface. Its done now

This door is locked by default:
As are many. They're background doors. On the other side is nothing.

This flooring is awfully bright. The same thing happens with some of the wood floor textures:
This is caused by the cubemaps. Again this is an alpha so the details to make it pretty are not present. Type "mat_specular 0" in console to resolve this.

Floating tree:
Resolved. There should be a planter under it too but. Hm, must have not packed.

I seem to recall you putting a open/close gate here when you made it, but there isn't one:
I dont think I did. I left it open like that as I can see it getting annoying whilst towing someone.

I would remove this, or make it a door of some sort:
I might. Depending on what Karma does with the proximity door and gov officials.

You can't walk through here (countryside gas station):
Doors issue. I replaced all the shop doors in the level.

There is no button to operate the elevator on the outside here, or on the next floor, and the button on the inside does not work:
Thats part of the Incomplete Buildings bug.

Are these meant to be there? (the rope on the ceiling):
Yes thats where lights will hang from.

These doors are a bitch:
They will be replaced during the completion of the building

Door doesn't open
Im just gonna nuke that room.

No way to open this:
Will complete it later

Not sure if this matters:
No. You cant get on the other side without noclipping

These windows don't match:
Yeah I wont worry about that

There's no way into this backyard:
Yeah that reminds me I need to build gates for all the fences.


Cobs Bugs;

Back room of cobsgm has nodraw on the wall
There's supposed to be a clip to not go back there. Resolved.

Texaco has no pumps
Resolved

In the city transit place the sign clips the walls
Good find, resolved

The roof of the tiny room is non existent
Its supposed to be a change room and that shop is supposed to be a clothes store. I guess I forgot about it lol.

Just in sight of the transit area the grass clips over the curb
Resolved

Just going right from the last photo where it joins a new area the grass isn't flush with the previous block
Shh. Lazyness. Ill see what I can do

This building here, the tall evergreen tree on the bottom left corner of the building has a bit of foliage clipping inside
Resolved

Doesn't lead anywhere (Put the tunnel idea I mentioned which is really fenced off with radioactive warning signs etc with a broken old sign saying "Cosmos City this way" etc
Wait for the 3DSkybox where I will fill in the edges of the map.

This road causes a bit of noticeable fps drop, in a full server might become a problem
This version is not optimized.

Going into an industrial estate on the left of that main road (as im facing) there is a texture error
Hopefully resolved. Had to do with my areaportal.

Just behind the last photo you can see a similar error
Resolved

From Tacobell to give you some perspective, where my physgun is pointing is clearly not correct
Should be resolved now

No pumps in this texaco too also clipping textures all around it too.
Pumps resolved. Its actually world gemoetry pooling into the lot. Ill see if I can add something to hide that.

No houses, wrongly textured grass on top right and i'd add something in the skybox to make it not look like its floating land.
It's supposed to be a campground. It looks dumb though and I cant really do it right without breaking my limits. Probably just gonna nuke this.

If I was you, I'd block off this tunnel as it goes nowhere
Will do in my final detail

Block off please :C
3Dskybox

Dodgy lighting & Please also block off ( too many loose endings for my liking really )
The wall is in the known bugs. 3Dskybox will fill that area.

sign saying you could possibly go right when that isnt the case
If this wasn't gmod, you could go right...

A lot of stuff is physgunable (all over the map)
Then dont physgun it. This is a RP map so most servers dont allow players to physgun world props. The props have to be dynamic or they will be pure black during daylight of day/night


Quarantine's list:

All your bugs have been mentioned before but thanks :)


Thanks for all the reporting guys!

I'm gunna let others post bugs for the initial revision or two. My posts will be strictly developmental things for better possibilities and lesser chance of lag by having to duplicate things

ATMs:
If at all possible make into prop_dynamic instead of part of the world. Will help prevent having to overlay another atm prop on top of them to make atms work and will lower the minor physics lag that it would cause after time despite being worldclipped.

For now that's all. Remind me later and I'll send you the revised day night script from the lighttest map tests so you have the one that will be running on the server.

There is a fire hydrant behind in a inaccessible fenced in area in the industrial (good location, might want to move the fence around it), doors of the Texico in the outskirts has issues. Doors open but the glass that is in the doors stays in the walk way. Textures overlap in the bank in the back where the tellers stay.

Could you show pics of the jail?    Also.  Idea for the map if you don't have it yet.  Could you add in areas with rugged terrain that players could go off roading on?  Just areas maybe by the camp grounds or whatever that are rough and have steep hills and water.  Cars would not be able to get through, but trucks would.

Outskirts are going to be redone so there will be something interesting. No I wont show pics of the jail because its nothing more then basic holding cells with a garage entrance. It's been moved to the PD.

Got a lot done today. Rebuilt the hospital. Redesigned the PD interior. Rebuilt the 7-11. And rebuilt the strip mall. I also reduced curb height in the uptown district.

Ok.... I went to a holding cell with EMS for an OD. It's LITERALLY a large room, with cells. Attached to a garage so cops can safely escort people from the car to the cell. No fancy maximum security prison. No guard towers. No spotlights. No giant sliding bars. No padded rooms. Just individual holding cells. I made exactly that.

Idk. I'm not gonna worry about it either. It's not as important as you seem to think it is.
I know.  It's just the little things that make the map that much better.

This is not in St. Louis. It's in a metroplex in Oregon.

  That contradiction though.  It may be.  But it is just an idea.  So could you lay off?  It's in the US.   Does not mean all police stations are different.  a lot may share the same floor plans or Specs.

A lot of that stuff is outdated now. Also images are too big for my phone so I'll look at them later. But thanks.

Today is a sad day. I am unable to resolve this lighting issue. Rockford is simply too complex with old unoptimized brushwork from 2011 to compile properly. I have 2 choices. Release it with this shit lighting issue, or rebuild it from scratch. I'm going to try to rebuild it. If it is not ready by the time CGRP is complete, we will use what I have now until the new version is ready. RIP Rockford.

Oshit thats bad... I think I can speak for us all when I say that we really appreciate all the work you have put into this problemchild of a map :) It's looking to be great and would be such a shame to not release with. Im sure a bit of bad lighting for a while wont phase too many

would it not be possible to use the map as a reference model to rebuild it in much quicker time?

I'll be taking small bits and pieces out to use again like the government building, club catalyst, etc. I'll be saving the new outskirts. However as for the central main city part of the map, I need to redesign it for optimization. Going to have to make it less evocity style and more city45 or city8 or city18 etc style where areas are tight and only small bits get rendered.

So I'm going to try to keep the residential and commercial districts and just rebuild downtown and industrial (as that's where all the old buildings are) and go from there.

I don't know what I did or how this happened, but the lighting seems to be fixed now..... Almost. Static props aren't casting shadows but they are being lit properly finally... I'll probably still make the second layout in a subsequent update just because it will boost FPS for a lot of people.

As promised, here are the outskirts. I changed the lighting again for HDR. Gonna tone it down a little bit more and decrease the ambient lighting too to give darker more defined shadows.

I also decided to take some in-town pictures that I thought looked nice with this new HDR lighting:

Looks great but please don't make it to dark. Nothing is worse than playing on a dark map even when you put your brightness to 100%, impossible to see.

Looks pretty good. I'd say try to keep it at centralized as possible. I remember on evocity that if you weren't growing weed or raiding houses, you were dicking around by the gas station and bank. It kept the playerbase nice and tight and didn't have everyone all over the place, which would suck(heuheuheu ineu pass).

Post by: OwenCobs on June 26, 2014, 06:52:00 AM
Cow actually has a good point there, but i suppose if the gas station is being put where the old bank was then that leaves the gm and gas station as a potential gathering point
