Interesting challenge, I must say. If vrad.exe decides to work well I'll participate.

Of course, I think the goal of this challenge is actually Rimrook proving to himself that nobody can exceed his imagination :D.

When everyone is done in a month or so.

CStriker, I know. I like pools. I work in the pool industry. There's water or a pool in 90% of my maps. Really?

I should add that with the current forum activity you may as well extend the deadline to a year

challenge yourselves to make a better map than fy_pool_day, guys, it's got a outdoor pool area and separate locker rooms for both sides. Well maybe not since suggested restrictions to the pool area. In that case, remember that swimming pool from Decay?

Say, is this going to be combined into a mod a la cubicles? If so I hope everyone has gameplay in the maps. If needed, I can provide floating scientist or barney corpses for ambience. Hey, in fact I have some ichysaur model replacements, imagine you jump in the pool, and come a barney gnawing on ya. Ha!

Well anyway cheers to mapping challenges.

I work in the pool industry.

So that's what this is about... you were tasked with designing new and innovative pools for the business and you're covertly relaying that onto us, hoping to avoid doing the major work.

What do I get for figuring it out?

I work in the pool industry.

My brother did that for a few summers, and now he doesn't like pools because he knows what chemicals go into them.
I might participate. If I can think of a unique feature.

Ok addressing things:

Nice one, Rim, im in.

Awesome.

Yes for now, but I don't have any hosting right now so probably no.

I work in retail.

I sell those chemicals.

Is this about scenery/eyecandy or about actual gameplay?

Eyecandy. Gameplay could be added but not necessary. Might lift the player restrictions if by popular demand people want game play.

This was one of my suggestions for the last compo. I'm in. Got a few projects i'm beginning on though so this one might not get a lot of attention. May make a spongebob map for hl/cs and I have a fewe architecture exercises in mind for the summer.

My recent architecture project for school incorporated water and my teacher wouldn't allow many of my ideas so it will be nice with out many limitations.

Uh, what if there's multiple areas of the pool/ other features to it. I don't think there should be any limiting rules besides its a manmade pool.

Edit:

MUAHAHHAHAA

Double edit: More cleaned up and orthoganal/on axis.

Also, did you include your foot intentionally? Its presence in the image makes it a bit hilarious :D.

Well, I know the rules say constrict the player to the pool area... So I decided to make my whole map the pool area. =P Half man-made and half natural!

And yes, their is a Water slide as well as a constantly erupting volcano!

Crazy: that looks neat reminds me of Splash Mountain, a ride at an amusement park near my house. =)

I tried many time to make a water slide in goldsrc, but failed, learning you'll "bump-bump-bump" down the chute unless you're "surfing". Is this much easier to make happen in source?

Posted 12 years ago2011-05-16 19:34:43 UTC Post #294693

Cap'n Terror: Thanks, and yes, I do believe it is much easier to make a water slide in source due to one great console command, "sv_friction". By default it is at 4, so if you put it at something like 0.1 you will be sliding all around uncontrollably, ha.

So all those triggers you see on my slide simply toggle the friction way low, and then toggle it back to default. I use that with an ice texture on the slide and a couple trigger_push's, as well as a trigger to force you to crouch, and you'll be sliding away in no time! =]

And thanks Zeeba-G. As usual, I will be very excited to see your map completed!
