gm_sealab - 1st Underwater Sea Base Map for Garry's Mod - Developers

[QUOTE=brerben;19626203]There wouldn't be a need for a sealab if it's in shallow water. Also, to the people that want me to add the surface of the water: If there is transparent glass underwater, there must not be a surface of the water or else when you look through the glass it gets all glitchy and brushes disappear and stuff. It just won't work in the Source Engine. The way I have discovered how to do it with a sea base and transparent glass, is that the map has to be completely underwater. It won't work otherwise. It would be easy to create a coral reef with tropical islands and stuff, but there cannot be a sea base there, too.[/QUOTE] oh ok but still can we have some coral reefs ? also can we have a smaller crane for inside the base

Sounds cool. Any servers running this?

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19626865]I'd say go for it anyway, make a map with tropical islands and coral reefs and [B]no[/B] sea base.[/QUOTE] he just sayed that he can't do that.

Great map i love it but i want to know that that mod is that makes your head bob up and down.

[QUOTE=jabba69R;19626965]he just sayed that he can't do that.[/QUOTE] What? No he didn't, he just said that you can't have a sea base in shallow water...

Your textures are ugly. Not all of them. But that dark rocks texture for example, no not the concrete one. They look like they are from some old game. Original idea, could have been done better though.

You need to have a reason why you can't go higher than the limit, eg, have it in a rock wall around the edge and a trigger hurt at the top (With a warning in the base that the scuba kit doesn't work at lower pressures)

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19627996]What? No he didn't, he just said that you can't have a sea base in shallow water...[/QUOTE] IF the sealab contained transparent glass and the water has a surface. You can totally build one, just without windows. Also if the map had a water surface then that would limit how deep he could make the water. At a certain depth, you begin to see breaks in the surface brush (or what ever its called). Besides, the map is called gm_sealab not a gm_tropics.

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19630670]Yeah, because gm_tropics is already taken :biggrin: That map doesn't have any coral reefs, though, just a volcano...[/QUOTE] Gm_coral_islands, hasn't been taken yet.

I don't see why you would be wanting more water maps, we don't need more of those, we need more [B]underwater[/B] maps, like this one.

[QUOTE=Jimmg;19636283]Models.[/QUOTE] OMG You have totally thought of something I was forgetting about. Instead of using transparent glass brushes, I can just make them models! Damn why didn't I think of this, lol. I will start working on it and let you know how it turns out. If this works, it will mean the possibility of having a SURFACE as well! Haha, thanks for your input! EDIT: I just tried it. :( Doesn't work. The brushes still glitch out and disappear.

brerben i forgot to ask you something about your map can you make a lost city under the water something like the lost city of atlantis that would be cool to go with the base coral reefs and caves :3

Does it have AI Nodes?

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;19670675]Does it have AI Nodes?[/QUOTE] no it doesn't have AI nodes :| Also, expect there to be a new underwater base map in the next few months. I'm taking all of your suggestions and trying to incorporate them into a new design.

Not exactly First Underwater map but the best one.

brerben the only suggestions i got is 1.coral reefs 2.long lost city like ( lost city of atlantis ) 3.under water caves 4.some bubbles coming from the grounds 5.small and large crane inside the base 6.some airlocks if you can make them 7.some underwater canyons 8.more buttons with underwater music 9.two or more underwater bases 10. under water whirlpool if that ca be done too thats all i can think of that would go well with your under water map

and fish, dont forget some fish! :D

This really is pretty awesome, a great idea too. I LOVE the water effects, like the surface of the water when your in the sealab place. If i were to suggest improvements i'd say make it a bit more busy, add some underwater caves and shit and mabey change the floor textures of like the sea bed, the relfections on the sea floor are awesome, you could also make like an airlock or something, that'd be epic. I dno, how possible that all is, i've never even attempted to make a map hahah. Just thought id give some constructive feedback : ] Tell you what i think from a users point of view.

Why the fuck are there caustics that deep? aasrfsaggrtfg [editline]03:59PM[/editline] What is the map ceiling like? [editline]04:07PM[/editline] Filesize is big because of animated textures? I think that effects loading times nastily too. Sounds like it's badly compressed and looks like it has bad mipmaps. (the caustics I mean)

If a version2 was to be made you need to make it accommodate building a large sub and getting it in and out of the base.. Large sub...

This is a very relaxing map. Nice job.

Very nice looking map! Good job

Seriously does nobody on facepumnch have a bloody aquarium? Lrn2glass+water ffs.

I was going to say just that, it looks too boring. The concept is great, and I hope this isn't the final version because it doesn't look like much of a lab or anything, just like an unrealistic testing map.

I was getting 2 kb/s on the first mirror on the Garrysmod.org. This map's popular.
