[This is Red]

Hello this is Red and great work on the map so far Oz.
Now while I was looking at your MIDNIGHT pics I thought up a few things about the district. From what the OP says this district is neglected by the Union, so chances are it's going to be -really- run down. I was thinking the insides of most of the older decaying buildings might look something like this.



Or something similar, I dunno.

Also, even though you already did the church in city 45, I was thinking - again, Union disapprove, done goes the building upkeep. Here's a example for what I'm talking about.

The building is falling apart but it isn't completely destroyed yet - and it will take quite some tome for it to fall apart on its own.

Since this picture hates me i'll edit this with a new picture once I stop feeling lazy.

Welp okay I stop bothering you now.

[garry :D]

The first image is pretty spot-on with the general look and feel of MIDNIGHT, but there will be adjustments to the lighting to suit the blue/green theme. I still have to draw up a rough plan of the district though I think I can make three large destroyed buildings and maybe eight or so small ones.

Second picture doesn't support hotlinking, by the way.

Wow, awesome job so far, Oz. I would much like to shake your hand. Keep it up.

[turhral=S=C=]

Very good job Oz, you are one of the best mappers I know.
Keep up the good work, and I can't wait playing on this map.

Current progress on MIDNIGHT:

wow oz ur bad at mapping, pls stahp

Jk jk lol.

I like the way the map is comming along, perhaps add rooftop acess in some of the district buildings? I think it would add a cool twist to the map, seeing how many maps out there you can't get on roofs (gm-bigcity is the only one I can name off the top of my head)

We're going to need so many flashlights to navigate this map...

Heh, all of it is just developer textures at the moment so the lights that are currently shown in the images don't reflect properly off of the surfaces. Brushwork gets constructed first, then lighting is placed and then all of the extras are tuned to fit the scene.

Adding little secret areas will add a lot to the map, not huge secret rooms but for example press a floorboard and it opens a little cavity, and little easter eggs like that always make a map that little bit better(to me, atleast.)

I agree. I will do my best to make parts in walls which can have their visibility and solidity toggled when you press a button so that you can hide some small/mid-sized items in there.
Post Auto-Merged: January 07, 2013, 06:48:30 PMI've built the strip club (the name for it is 'Vice') after receiving a couple of suggestions along the lines of a nightclub/casino.

This is the club without any decoration (decals/posters/etc):

[rBST Cow]

Good job Oz. I really think that the strip club will be good for passiveRP, as silly as it is. Either way, it would be a place for people to get together, chat, get drinks, ect.

Even though the lighting theme of the MIDNIGHT district is all dark blues and purples, an occasional room or building with more neutral lighting can be nice.

having a multi layered map makes it instantly 100x better, if a couple houses have access to roofs and then you can navigate roof to roof (risky jumping oh yes), that sort of stuff is cool

Makes it funner to navigate the city as a citizen if your character has to stay away from the CCA too.

Also Oz perhaps you'd consider adding a old run down clock tower somewhere that you could enter and go to the top? Just came to my mind out of nowhere.

[garry :D]

Roof top access can be done (it's already in the works for the tall building in MIDNIGHT) and if I don't hit engine limits after the Nexus is built then I'll work on a clock tower.
