[QUOTE=amirite]Okay I have to just say how disappointed I am with this map especially considering the quality of the previous version. The atmosphere is very cool, although there don't seem to really be ABY locations from the game aside from the church. Also the environments are just simply not there - the school, hospitol, they're pretty much one room each. They really need to have more to them, I was real excited to go into to school and set up a creepy environment for people to play, but I can't do that. Also, this map crashes my server constantly, there are certain areas that will crash it and sometimes it will crash on a map change. Sometimes for no reason at all. It's a very cool map but it's incredibly sloppy. I don't think it deserves the title of "final". Please put a bit more work into this and it will be one of the best maps around.[/QUOTE]
Ok first off learn how to spell. Second is that I cut locations that are hardly used from past experience, the school and hospital were hardly used in RP. The map is way more detailed and has MANY locations from the real games, not the exact layout but the same shop names Andy's Bookstore etc. I am sorry I cannot spend my whole life trying to please everyone, and some locations are also small for performance reasons. All I can say is I appreciate the criticism but you must realize the original version of this map was released back on April 21st of last year. I worked my ass off on this map and I don't like people telling me that it sucks because I know it doesn't. I know it is not perfect but when your running out of resources that the engine can handle you have to compromise. Plain and simple if you do not like it then YOU make your own map.
I tried this map because I saw the cool screens, and I found out that [b]it-is-the-map![/b]
First of all, the map is very big if you compare it to all the other RP maps that are made. Some of them might be just as big, but then they got another problem; Too little detail! This map has got great details [b]everywhere![/b] Even the buildings you can't enter are detailed to the top with [i]props 'n' shit.[/i]
There are lots of shops and apartments (though you live in either a small house or one of those poor-people-trailers). I say it is pretty much the best RP map for Garry's Mod I've ever played!
[b]BUT[/b] (Yep, there's always a [i]but[/i])
If this map should be perfect for RP, it should be [i]summer.[/i] It should be summer, and the sun should shine, and the birds should quipper (If birds does that, and if it's a word)!
I'd like to make this map a real nice holiday map. If you don't answer in this thread, I'll either PM you or find your e-mail and spam you :)
[b]GREAT WORK![/b]
Okay first off please chill out. My post was very respectful, and was exactly what you said: "ciriticism". I felt the need to be honest because you are obviously a very talented map maker, plus all you are getting is facepunch ratards going "WOW COOL MAP" like they have never seen a map before. I just think this map falls short. Why even cut any locations? For me that was the heart of the map. Walking around SH is cool and everything but without the game's environments to mess around itn the novelty wears off pretty quick. I know there are engine issues but I'm not sure which ones you may have run into, it doesn't seem like it's THAT intense at this point, especially sine it's mostly brushes. Also, the fact is: the crashes are there. Other people are getting them, I'm getting them... It just seems to need a little more testing. As I said at the end of my last post, my point is simply that this doesn't seem like a "final" version, and more like the next step (a step backward in other ways).
And for the record, I do know how to make my own maps and am currently working on a SP adventure map for HL2. I have been looking for another mapper to collaborate with and release our own little HL2 "grindhouse" mod. If you are interested in doing more horror-style mapping and creating a full single player map I would love to see some examples of work from you and talk further.
Edit: yes I am a terrible speller, get over it :P
Can you make a new RP map?
[QUOTE=skateralex76]Can you make a new RP map?[/QUOTE]
I already am. No details yet for now. I have been very busy, senior year getting everything done. I had one half done but my computer took a dump and I lost it. There is a release planned just no clue when. Probably not for like a month or two.
Woot!
I'm about to play it, first I need to clothespin the end of my penis..just in case I wet myself.

Sorry I am an independent mapper as of now. I do it occasionally now not a ton like I used to. The map has a TON of models the crashes are usually memory or vertex things. I have had them before too. The map does not appear to have lag problems because it renders right behind the fog. I just do not feel like fixing it. I may in the future.
Can someone please help me? rp_SilentHill is so stuttrting on my machine.

The map stutters usually when you first get in it, easy fix is just to wander around the entire map once.
Yes. It has to cache everything so that the next time you play, it doesn't feel bad.
Oh yeah. And nowadays, clock speed doesn't matter; proven with the new C2D/C2E.
It doesn't matter for the new generation processors at least.
If this is too old for a new post, my apologies (I've gotten chewed out over 'bumping' old topics, which wasn't my intention at all, before), but I just had to point out one thing.
You have 'a mid-range computer' as the only requirement. Yet people have said you need CS:S and HL2:E1. I know it's too late to edit the post, from what I've read, but I just felt I should point out that not everyone has those titles, so your Requirements line is misleading.

Sorry about that, you only need cs:s you do not need episode 1.
I love this map. Play it so often
Silent Hill scares me :(...other than that :holy:
Trying to get the Evolved RP Urban server back up and running. When it is, it'll return to 24/7 silent hill. It keeps looping on something and crashing, it's annoying the heck out of me. Bah!

I noticed this and I have been going to your other cscdesert servers and having a lot of fun except when minges attack which is quite often, you need more admin.
I love you...
Does this include the creepy subterranean bit?
He's working on a new map now. Huzzah for the mapper god!
[QUOTE=kilroy128]Oh my god THIS IS AWESOME...
EDIT:
I cant download it.... I need to be registered to fps and the filefront and garry's link are leading me to non existing pages...
EDIT:
Sorry I was just n00b not paying attention. Downloaded it and Map King.[/QUOTE]
Does someone know how i can make a fourm for my map.
[QUOTE=Monkeypiri]Does this include the creepy subterranean bit?[/QUOTE]
Negative.

[QUOTE=Revbian]penis[/QUOTE]
That was pointless at least my one word response answered a question.
[QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt]
Also an interesting yet worthless fact for anyone that has followed this map since it was just a little concept way back last March, the map release is considered version 4 however I went back and counted the compiles and it was over 150.[/QUOTE]
IT'S OVER 150!!! Over 150!? That's impossible!
Nice map, by the way
:4chan:
Good job!
I don't know why, but for some reason, when I load this map there are a bunch of textures missing. There are a bunch of purple and black checkered backgrounds.
He uses CSS Textures :)
You got my download. This is really good. The effects and everything.
This map looks like it has a lot of potential. Unfortunately for me, I get a lot of Errors and Black/Purple Checkerboard patterns. I suppose I need Counterstrike, or something, in order to get the full experience?
I hope I can do something to make this map work without Counterstrike, because I really want to see it in full, but I really don't want to buy Counterstrike just for this because I have little interest in it, other than possibly more stuff to fool around with in Garry's Mod.
*Sigh* It looks really cool though.
I get lost in this map, but I do like it.
