QQ about rp_apocalypse

[YankeeSamurai]

          I'm kinda frustrated. Rp_apocalypse is the perfect map for hl2rp outlands except for the one fact that it's not conventionally hl2rp-themed.  Rp_apocalypse is simply the best wilderness map you'll ever find in terms of layout and aesthetics, and map layout is extremely important for gameplay and roleplay, especially on an Outlands server. It's just that the map's appearance isn't conventionally hl2rp-themed.
          If some people would get their heads out of their asses, they'd realize that roleplay should take higher priority than asspulled canon. I say "asspulled" because most "canon" is exactly that. There's hnng, lemee think- 0% official canon on the 7-hour War, and in our server that disastrous war only ended a mere year ago. I'm content with playing on md_whitehills, which is the map that will probably be used. However, if I had a choice I would pick apocalypse a hundred thousand times over. The problem is, people are just too stuck in the pit of convention.

New favorite map ^

Well, I'll type like you. RP_Coast maps are the best because the originality, seeing most are converted maps from the canon-setting game HL2. Another thing, RP_apocalypse's lighting is brown eye rape, and lacks the solid, visibility of coasts, and another thing, coast maps are typically well made in terms of general mapping. I'm just saying, coast maps are original, fun.

the map is good but not for hl2rp.......

Pretty much this.

[YankeeSamurai]

Coast maps aren't original at all, they're ripped from hl2 single player. They were original five years ago, when Valve first made them.

The problem I have with coast maps is their layout. Because they were designed for hl2 single player, they tend to be extremely linear. Linearity in a map has a negative effect on roleplay because it restricts choices and freedom of movement. The goal of roleplay isn't to travel from Point A to Point B, but that's exactly what coast maps are designed for.

[Bromine]

Mabe if we were on a coast map, jeeps, airboats, APCs, all that stuff would come to use, maybe even water forts. Y'all just don't see the true openness of the world, landlubbers.

[YankeeSamurai]

Rp_apocalypse has all the same opportunities as a coast map, actually. Roads and open spaces for jeeps and APCs, rivers and lakes for airboats and water forts and whatever else. Apocalypse is a better choice than a coast map because it offers everything a coast map can, but it's also free from the restrictive linearity of coast maps, which I've already explained. Apocalypse is an excellently well-rounded map, and there's no valid reason not to use it for the Outlands.

Can it run day/night?

[YankeeSamurai]

Rp_apoc has a crude day/ night system build into the map, so that's somewhat of a yes. However, a real day/ night script is incompatible with OpenAura, from what I've heard. And that goes for any map, not just apocalypse.

[Bromine]

Fuck I was thinking of gm_atomic, anyway, the OTA nexus/outpost should definitely be a cordoned off block with all the fucked up but enterable buildings.

[YankeeSamurai]

I've RPed on all of the maps brought up in this topic a lot, and I can safely say that apocalypse ISN'T an outlands map.

That statement didn't contribute anything to this discussion.

If that's all you can do, than let me say this:

Herp derp, I can safely say that apocalypse IS an outlands map. Whatcha gonna do about it lol?

Bromine's posts are a good example of the sort of statements you make in a discussion. Notice how he countered my own points and presented new ones. He didn't just say "Apocalypse ISN'T an outlands map k bye."

Good job, Bromine- you get a cookie. :]

[Bromine]

OH god yes. Anyway, I just want to play coast because it's all full of memories, and good for photos like that seen on the entity "Outlands 2015" in OA

[YankeeSamurai]

Fuck apocalypse, this map is the shit!
