gm_tornadohighway - Tornado chasing in Garry's Mod
321 replies, posted
I'm going to talk with you on steam about some possibilities. I hadn't done that because I felt it would steal from the randomness of the tornado, but had thought about tying it to point_template, so that the tornado would be off the map completely and then just spawn on a random track.. But that's not something I've experimented with.
We'll see what we can come up with.
[Edit]
Scratch that. This map will be released on time, and we will be making a new 3rd tornado map in the future that will focus on detail.
Why not release a beta then? I like the map the way it is. Then do a full release later for the one with more details.

There will either be a beta release and then a final, or this map will be released and a more detailed 3rd map will come out later.
Thank you.

Never mind. We're back on track.
You shouldn't put it on Gmod.org untill you have the detailed version done or else everybody will be like: "STOLENNN DURP FAKE GAY" and the detailed version will get more downloads.
oh my god I don't care I just want to play on the map
[QUOTE=MenteR;34387953]hmmm well can't you try to add a vortex texture or something to the top? the tornado itself looks gorgeous.[/QUOTE]
I actually have added a vortex at the top, you just can't really see it in any of rory's videos. It also has some cloud particles swirling around up there.

[EDIT] This map will be released. I will be making a 3rd tornado map with more detail for those who want a detailed map.
Tornado Alley = First of it's kind, dark, not very large
Tornado Highway = Brand new tornadoes, very large, not highly detailed
Tornado Valley = Same size as Tornado Alley, but with the new tornadoes, and very detailed
Tornado Nightfall = A tad bit smaller than Tornado Highway, with the new tornadoes, but night time
[QUOTE=FreakySoup;34392831]oh my god I don't care I just want to play on the map[/QUOTE]
Exactly.
Leave the damn guy alone he will release it when he is ready.
Oh I'm ready now.. Just touching up some fine details. It [u]will[/u] be released Saturday, [b][u]UNLESS[/u][/b] we find some major bugs or miss detail that we have to fix before release.
Like I said, for those who want a large and open map for tornado chasing will enjoy this map. Those who want a lot of detail will have to wait for the next tornado series map, which will begin after release of this map.

I fucking love you.
The map is broken for multiplayer, works fine on singleplayer.
Going to try to find the source of the issue. "Reliable snapshot overflow". Usually has to do with rain/water/decals. I might have to take out the water.

What about 2 versions of the map? You can have the singleplayer only one and then fix it so it's playable on multiplayer, and make them separate.

Wouldn't that create conflict between people who want all of the content on one single map?
Fixed. Too many props for multiplayer. I deleted several smaller props and it works fine. As I said earlier in this thread and on my video - We're really hitting the maximum that the source engine (or garry's mod) can handle.
Map is still on track for release on Saturday. There will only be one copy of the map. Those who want more detail/props will have to wait for the detailed tornado map.

Well, they cant get all the content if they want it on multiplayer. what I'm saying is, dont remove the stuff to make it work for multiplayer and release, I'm saying save the map with all the content in it, then optimizing it for multiplayer, and then save that as a seperate map than the one with all the content in it, so people who want to play the full map as it was can play it, and then people who want it on multiplayer can play it as well, with slightly less stuff.
I don't see how that conflicts interest, I see it as satisfying (mostly) everyone.

Release will be Friday, not Saturday.
Awesome!
I am excited for this map. I've been waiting for MonkeyJoe's map to release my storm chasing pack, which includes DOWs, Dorothy w/ pick-ups, Scout cars and even a TIV. Sadly that map was never released and my pack had been sitting dormant ever since. After I learned about Rory and The Vman with their maps. I set to work on new revamped Storm Chasing Unit. Here is what I have so far:

If you want to send me that storm chasing pack, I will upload that to my Storm Chasing gmod server once you get it settled and finished.

Sure, I would gladly do so. I just need a bit of time to finish the new TIV, Interceptor, and one of the Scout trucks. The only thing you need for the server to use this pack is just 3 vehicle packs and the weight tool.
Here are the vehicle mods I used:

That's it, I'm retiring my Derithy. This is some amazing stuff. I applaud your great work, good sir, and I look forward to getting stuck on telephone poles and then swept into a tornado with you.
Praise God, I've been waiting all week for this.
I applaud you, Rory.
