Another map preview, de_full_city Created 20 years ago2004-06-11 16:13:28 UTC by Coolfat3459

Not like I'm putting that much work into the newer version of full_city (for cs this time) but I think its looking just as good as any other map I've made (maybe i'm so skilled now that I don't need to work much to make a map look good, ooooo ahhhh)
Anyway, the map will have gone through some drastic changes when I release it as de_full_city, things including:
-Street lights
-(maybe) a night environment or somewhat dark environment(so I can use the street lights)
-add back old city map style of being able to walk into a building. (I'll only have one walkable building and that will only be a room and the first floor)
-some other stuff that I havent thought of yet.

I'll get some screenshots very soon, don't know why I want to preview this map, but then again, I previewed ca_the_towers, why not preview this?

If you want to see the original full_city, here it is:

You need counter strike because it uses cs_assault.wad and cs_bdog.wad

The r_speeds on that will exceed 1000.

Looks like one big piece of LAAAAAGGGGGG

OMG! That will lag more than playing Hl2 on a Pentium 133 at 1600x1200! And that will be slow!

Dont overrid it.
I play 1600 wpolys just fine, but low end computers and non-bb users are gonna have it rough.

Get the original full_city, there is actually no lag at all. A very smooth map despite all the open areas.

You cant try lag when you're admin, you know.

Look up what "lag" means before using it so gratuitously.

Why are there sodamachines on the middle of the (seemingly to be) roundabout?

Ive seen open maps with high r_speeds lag me before, if the level lags, it will lag for me too. Ive seen it done before and there is nothing wrong with this level. So get the original map so I can prove ou wrong and that the map doesn't lag.

Compiling de_full_city right now. Its gone through some DRASTIC changes. Light posts (duh), glow sprites under each light post and a light under each light post(will be a NIGHTMARE for vis), a night environment, a new sky, the bomb target is the vending area in the middle of the big intersection and when the bomb goes off soda cans fly everywhere (he he), and I added an indoor room (enterable via ventelation shaft) with a reflective floor. Probably some other changes that I didn't take note of but I can't remember them all right now

Think of 56k users and people with low-end computers, you can't test a map fully from one single comp.

you can try adding 31 bots in it... see if it... um... lags?

OK, first of all, if r_speeds lag a map, it will have nothing to do with what kind of internet you have. And if someone is lagging because of slow internet and not r_speeds, then they will probably lag on a bunch of other stuff too.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! 31 bots?! Ive never even played in a server with 31 HUMANS! hats way too mnay people, who plays wit that many people anyway?! Gah!!!

this looks alot like a map i built ages ago. ill have a look for it and post some screenies.

You do know we are talking about de_full_city right? the map you hate? Ya know?

found it.... screen shots at the following link

http://freespace.virgin.net/savage.101/screens/citymap.htm

all the textures are mine by the way except for the one on the cathedral and the appartments. they are by kyle george, but the factury windows, bricks and ground textures are all my work.

Looks awesome. Lights looked a bit weird, the light texture at the edge wrapped around the rest of the poll, just looked weird. And the one-unit thick walls were also weird

i dont know what you mean whats weird about the lights. and 1 unit thick walls what on earth are you talking about all my walls are atleast 8units.

Those walls look 1 unit thick

oh i c what you mean about the light textures. thats on purpase it give it depth, thats what street lights look like in the UK they have glass covered over the bulbs. i dont know about other parts of the world.

oh and those walls are not 1 unit think its a perspective trick becouse of the angle of the shot the top of the wall is textured the same as the side to look like cemented bricks. look carfully.

Is the top one brick thick by any chance?

Naw, that cant be 1 unit. 1 unit is really really tiny in the game. Those have to be at least 4 units.

i just checked it in hammer its actally 8 units.

Walls in my maps range from 6 to 10 units thick.

Well the angle I saw as hard to tell how many units it was.

WC Dude:
Take some screens with r_speeds 1
