I've put together a project called the "Map Mosaic"
Basicaly, there is one Half Life 2 Death Match map split into 10 areas. There will be one mapper per area, each of these mappers will create what ever they want in their "area" of the map.
Anyone is welcomed to join, you can read more about the project on the website.
http://docglass.net/Game_Mosaic.htm
btw, there is no limit of space on the project, once ten 'areas' have been taken spots will be doubled up and the first person to finish will have there section put into the first map, then a second map will be started, and so on and on and on.

thanks for the support. As it stands I think we need 2-3 more mappers to sign on for the first Mosaic.

Last one didn't have any structure. With the web site, and all the rules layed out, and the fact that there will be more than one mapper for each area. I think it will work out.

I have actually finished my part because Instead of making a detailed area I wanted to make an artistic area with weird shapes, all the traps I could think of and good ol combine balls 
I will send it sometime when it is up to standards!

Dr Glass in the email you said that there will be more than one mosaic ...
Does that mean there will be more than one map?
Because I thought it was going to be one map with different rooms.

there will be more than one map, the first map will be one map with a bunch of rooms, the next map will be the same, if I understood correctly

It will.
and Snpbond has it right. The map mosaic will be 10 rooms by 10 diffrent mappers, and as more mappers sign up then a second map mosaic will start, same 10 rooms diffrent mappers.
By haveing spots open for more than 10 mappers I can have some one fill in for anyone who drops out or takes more time on their map.

Yeah, same for me. I spent a good few hours on it yesterday on the basic brushwork.

Just one question, since the different areas are boxes, are there any rules regarding sky brushes?
I imagine we can't make any since a map only uses one light_enviroment entity.

I'm going to use a day time sky texture, but add no plan to add no light_env, so you can have ssky texture (no 3dsky box tho) but you will have to add the light from the sky yourself.

Dr. Glass, I'm having trouble working in the Gateways. They seem to be up quite high, and are unrealistically huge. I suggest new template areas, with smaller gateways and keep them a bit lower, they just feel too high.

sorry folks your going to have to work with the gateways. You can always build your map and if the entrance is only 128 units and the gateway is 256 then you can just block off the top 128 units of your gateway.
but remeber... if I put your area and the map and it doesn't fit with the other gateway I will have to whip out my clipping tool and make it work!
I will draw up a diagram later for you guys.

when is the deadline for the first map? We may not get the map we worked on for 10-35 hrs put into the map?
Posted 18 years ago2005-05-16 22:17:15 UTC
Post #109844
no, if you worked on a map, you will, in one way or another get your map in a final relese. lets say the first mosaic is done, all 10 areas, I will relese it. If you finish your area (lets say its area 3) and it looks like no one else will add to the project then I will make a second map with the original 9 areas plus the addition of your area 3 and relese that as mosaic 2.
As it stands there are about 15 people working or finished with their area.
I plan to take the first 2-5 areas and make them into a mosaic_beta, which should spark even more intrest in the project.

Post #109908
yeah I already have a section, though it is for section 2 so I'm not going to steal habboi's spot.
I'm able to come up with an area in a few hours so if we area a map short and it doesn't look like the person will finish I can alsways pop in and put a random area together.
I dont think anyone who is active should take more than a month on it, the largest area only has a volume of 5.3 billion units.

Post #109931
I can cordon your map and check the entitie report. Its not a big deal if you go a little over, becuase some maps only use 10-15 props.

I'm steadily working on mine, tweaking and detailing the basic brush work. I'll begin more stylistic brush work soon as well as the props, lighting and other effects.
