Super Tower for TWHL

Posted 20 years ago2004-04-06 09:28:28 UTC Post #21376

hey, i have an idea, how about we all put forth a tower created by all of us, each person could have his or her floor, and it would be cool if someone put some cinimatics in there, and we could have neighboring buildings (but they would be like the sets on movies) and maybe cars going down the streets using func_train, we could have loads of stuff, and it allows anyone to do it, we all could make the lobby, and the elevator's buttons could have our names on them so you could just hit the "use" key on the persons name to go to their custom floor.

the great thing about this is that it is for everyone, and noone can critisize anybody elses.

we would have to have size limits though, but overall it would be a great team effort, we could put a big "TWHL" at the top of the building, and everybody could ask the more experienced mappers to help w/ their problems

so, what do ya'll think?

this is gonna be the third i guess, lol

well, unless they are as independent and for every1 as my idea i think i should start this thing, oh, by the way, monkeys are cool,

if anyone is interested then they should email me a map at "frankyg@I-55.com

the demensions for your floor need to be a sqare "2" of the bigest units wide and "1" of the bigest units high

and i dont care if anyone is a newb or a total wiz at this, the point of it is to learn and do teamwork, and to make some kinda super skyscraper

There'll be room for just 16 floors with that height of the floor, but I don't think this will be a problem. Use my new elevator system and you can have mush more aranged next to each other.

well, i'm no expert, but i wanted to do the lobby too, we could both do it, or have sep. entrances

but i have a lobby format already made, i guess i could email it?

or whatever

oh, i love your lobby, it looks like if the grid level off perfect dark had a baby w/ the government tower from the matrix, sorry for the wording, but i thought that this map would have a sofisticated look to it, like a tower for a major corporation, w/ nice shiny stuff(which i know you can do for the lobby, but just the lobby) and cubicles on sum floors, then our own wacked out floors

and um, world craft dude, you totally lost me man, i'm confuzed

ok, me and a friend are possible gonna make a expansion map pak for half life, here a hint. what is roswell famous for, and where is another close by(but in bordering state) conspirical area, hmm

wouldn't it be natual that they all might be connected to the foregrounds of black mesa(i don't know what it was called)by a series of underground railroads

hmmm, maybe you would be freeman, going back in Time, hmm.

well, rosswell is well know because of its first aline landing, but it is very good possible it was a weather balloon.
and the area nearby...is area 51, groom lake base ore, i cnat come up wiht the icao code but when i found it i tell you.
iffcialy the base doenst excistso you should be allowd to take sattalite pictures form from outer space.
and they do, the runway has been extend to 5 kilometers

Hmmmmm . . . I'm interested in both the tower and the railroad/subway level. I have a suggestion for the railroad thing: Instead of making a track that extends miles and miles, you could just go a short distance and then reach a trigger_changelevel. When the next level loads, it could display something like "Three hours later" and you're at the next stop. That way, you could concentrate more on the actual levels. shrugs

good idea dude, and the whole level wouldn't be just about being on a railroad, it would start off probably at black mesa,i'm still thinking about my idea of the character, maybe a marine instead, yeah, i can see it now, your one of the marines in the chopper when it's hit, you fall out into a small sand dune while you watch the osprey crash in front of you, you turn around and run behind a boulder while aliens are poping up around you,after the area is secured an alien comes out and shoots an explosive barrel by the marines and kills them, you have the option to pick up a gun near you , then you have to get inside a small building/thing, it would be like on of those storm cellar doors, like on home alone(LOL) or something, and it would lead you into the top of a underground railroad system,and from there on out, i'll have to think

yes, a good idea, but there are a lot like it right now, and in progress. since I am a part of pretty much all of them, why not this one, if you are willing to do all the work that is

.

Why not have each floor be a different level?

we could all give you our floors, and you could could put them together to create it.

Strange I have never seen you here before?

oh, and you could keep uploadign it whenever you get a new floor.

If this is MP, and I don't know if it is because I didn't read all that writing that appeared here over a day, I'm out.

Make each floor a separate map. That way, we won't get lag or anything. We all design our own floors, and then link all the maps with transitions. When I get my comp fixed, I'll probably design myself a heavily guarded office with traps and defence guns etc. everywhere.

lol, whatever, but i guess we could all have our own floor per level, it's just that the elevator would look weird loading a level constantly, maybe we could make a level totally devoted to the elevator shaft

So the idea is that everyone that joins creates a floor, in wich he shows off his mapping skills? Everyone gets his personal floor, so others can see how good/bad he is and what he likes/dislikes... Sortof a showcase?

Funny idea indeed...

OK, lets decide who is going to lead this, cause I really want to do it. Vassy would you still do those transitions for the each floor because that would be the best way to go about this. First thing we do is put a date on when the maps have to be in, everyone sends them to you, and if you still would do it, make the link ups.
My idea for getting to each level is an elevator, somehow we could make it not actually move but just open and close its doors at each level? Im just putting out ideas common people
