AWESOME!!!!! *DOWNLOADS* I can't WAIT to try it! :D

Sick, finally a new botmap. Thanks for the release.

Well, I'm getting episode 1 and 2, if just for this map :D

[QUOTE=BmB]Why the freaking hell do you have a map on SVN? It isn't a distribution method.[/QUOTE] Some servers use SVN updating, quicker than uploading the map yourself. We just thought it'd be convenient as we used it in BETA tests and there was no point in deleting it. [QUOTE=Benie]Is there a tutorial or something on how to set up trains, using the sliders? And using wire to switch the tracks, like in V1/V2? You all had a tutorial about trains back then. I want the train from the video.[/QUOTE] I'll be making a tutorial for it soon, I had to go after releasing it so I didn't get time for any tutorials. The train from the tutorial is Nadanova's and I doubt he'd let you have it, but if you see him around just ask. [QUOTE=Sgt.Sgt]Cliffs definitely need work. They are way too straight at the top. Fix that and add some horizontal depth to them, add a 3d skybox too. Otherwise looks good. Way better than the last versions because the old versions looked awful. This one is a big improvement.[/QUOTE] The displacements were horrid to align with each other, some do and some don't because they're different sizes etc. The reason I didn't add a 3D skybox is it took up most of the space at the top, so I couldn't make the skybox high enough, and because it was so big it added extra time to the compile which isn't too bad, but with the amount of testing we was doing on it is quite a while. [QUOTE=S31-Anubis]I am only missing Ep2 and am missing alot. It sucks because I loved the others.[/QUOTE] It was made using the Ep2 configuration, so you are going to be missing quite a bit if you've not got it.

And thanks for making the sliders as models. :)

There's just one thing that I find weird, why didn't you put brushes behind the displacements so that they blocked vis, also allowing the player to play underneath the map? No map shouldn't even exist beneath those cliffs. Right now you practically render the whole map and tunnels and things like this even when standing in a small canyon. This map could really benefit from that, some areaportalwindows and maybe even fading on the trees, because honestly, the fps is crap, when it really didn't have to be. Also why put a turn right after a slope, and why aren't the slopes rounded? It was never going to work, and I derail every single time. It's a shame a map like this is let down by such silly mistakes.

Holy whatsamasauce, this is fucking awesome! I hated the v1 and v2, but this, this is really sweet, the river inspires me for my mapping, and hell, the skybox texture is great. 10/10.

This has to be one of the finest looking maps i've ever seen. Mapping King!

You do render the whole map, but only the displacements. As for the hill and corner, I ran out of space unexpectedly, so I had to find a way down. Just go slower.

I hated the v1 and v2, but this, this is really sweet, the river inspires me for my mapping, and hell, the skybox texture is great. 10/10.[/QUOTE] Personally I didn't like V1 and V2 either, they were blocky and horribly optimised, it took 18 hours to compile. This without HDR takes half an hour and with takes 1 hour.

The map is really great but i have a little problem, when i sumerge in the water and i look up i see black and purple square, i tried with the fix and nothing, i putted into garrysmod/materials, and nothing, i putted in materials inside addons/gm_botmap_v3, and nothing, by the way i have hl2, ep1 and ep2 mounted. I need help, i don't know what to do.

Awesome. But I don't have Ep2 :(:(:(

My name is in the build area that I designed... The interior train build.

Just go slower.[/QUOTE] I'm going the other way, there's just no way you can come up over that hill and stay on, it's kind of a shitter to be honest. Also I still don't get why you can't have a huge brush say in the middle of a cliff "island" and build the displacements off around it. This settles the problems I am concerned with, and honestly I thought it would have been quite obvious to do this in the first place, because map space is not needed in there, and with this, it would just be void, and automatically block vis.

I tried those methods, and they all failed, the FPS stayed the same (which was worse) so I decided to use another method which hides entities.

[QUOTE=AlfieGroove][QUOTE=ColinSSX]Private build rooms?[/QUOTE] Not really. But there's a ton of space to build your own room. :P [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Train build room?[/QUOTE] Yes 2, one inside and one outside [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Hill room?[/QUOTE] There's some hills dotted around, not very large one's [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Hoverboard Park?[/QUOTE] I don't really see why you need one of them. It's pretty much redundant. GMod's motto should be build your own. [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Arena?[/QUOTE] See the above sentence [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Custom Maze Room?[/QUOTE] Build yo-... there's some places more bots to go. You can place boxes in the way to make it more difficult for it. [QUOTE=ColinSSX]Central Teleport Spawn Room?[/QUOTE] Nope[/QUOTE] Fuck, there goes most of my favorite features.

wow this map looks awesome, too bad my computer probably can't handle the awesomeness :( Also, I'm glad you removed the teleport system, it completely ruined the purpose of building a train

holy shit

Guys, I got a little problem, whenever I try to spawn something from the botmap menu (The slider or the map), it shows up for a second and then disappears... Anyone know a fix/ has the same problem? (This happened inside Botmap_V3 itself, haven't tried other maps though, but I can spawn other stuff in Botmap_V3)

From what I've seen, it looks epic. Unfortunately I can't really play it, because I don't have Ep2. Any plans for a non-Ep2 version?

Guy's sorry for insist, but i can't be inside the water when i look up i see black and purple square, i have mounted hl2, ep1 and ep1 but didn't work also i have the underwater FIX 6(final version), but didn't work, i putted into materials in the garrysmod folder and into the materials folder inside the gm_botmap_v3 folder, but nothing. I would to fix this because is the only bug i detected inside the map anything else is perfect.

That's one sexy looking map, you instantly have my download. And who doesn't have the Orange Box these days? I mean c'mon guys it came out a year ago.

To the person who is saying about a pink and black square: Maybe if you gave us more information, like a screenshot we could help.

Make sure it's not falling through world. Other than that, I have no idea what could be causing it. [QUOTE=WoofFoow]From what I've seen, it looks epic. Unfortunately I can't really play it, because I don't have Ep2. Any plans for a non-Ep2 version?[/QUOTE] I can't really do a non-Ep2 version, since pretty much everything is from Ep2, without the trees it would seem empty, very empty.

[QUOTE=thingshappen] I can't really do a non-Ep2 version, since pretty much everything is from Ep2, without the trees it would seem empty, very empty.[/QUOTE] Don't do that, the vast majority of people have Ep2. And I like the style of it. It's pretty cool.

Does it still have AI nodes?

Nope, sorry. I couldn't find a logical place to put them. Again though, I've never seen anyone use the nodes nor have I used them.

cool map, i think the down stream waters pretty neat.i havent got to play it tho.

Ho-Ly-Shit I've been waiting for this! I saw the WIP thread on the other forums you had it on, and i almost Asploded, this looks so amazing! Good job +mapking

[QUOTE=Mbbird]Beautiful map, if only I had the Episodes.[/QUOTE] Join the club.

Dotmister, this is whay i got when i sumerge into the water, the strange thing is that i can see the waterfall perfectly. [IMG]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/1908/gmbotmapv30000ki8.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the size of the image.
