gm_botmap_v3 - Developers - Facepunch Forum

I'm sticking with gm_botmap_v2, and here are three good reasons why: - I don't have EP2, EP1, or actually HL2 (I run GMod on Portal and CSS) - You took out all of the features that made gm_botmap cool anyways - I don't really give a crap about how it looks. IT'S A BUILD MAP, NOT AN RP MAP.

I love the map, but my friends don't have episode 2. I've seen some maps that have the Episode 1 and 2 textures in the map file. Can you do something like that? If no then ok.

After playing around with it a bit, I'm kinda disappointed. None of the original things for gm_botmap 2 that made it so popular are left, now it's just overcomplicated with trees and lakes. You should seriously consider calling this map gm_botmap_forest or something. The next botmap should be THE botmap2 map but with new features. If you restart the map it's not the same map. I gotta admit, the map IS really pretty though. It just doesn't feel like a build map that much.

Looks great. I don't have Ep1 or 2 yet, but I will in about 3 weeks.:dance: I'll definitely download it then.

[QUOTE=ColinSSX]Fuck, there goes most of my favorite features.[/QUOTE] He probably shouldn't have named it botmap, because this is a great map, it's just that he named it botmap and everyone is missing the all purpose sort of areas that were in the first 2 botmaps. Normally people wouldn't complain about NOT having those kinds of things. I think it's all the same, if not restricting, since a build zone is a build zone. Private build rooms can be replaced by admins.

Thanks for a great night on the official server, you guys. Great map, and I learned alot.

[QUOTE=thingshappen]Check you wasn't spawning it at spawn, it removes objects. Make sure it's not falling through world. Other than that, I have no idea what could be causing it. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Dotmister]If you're near the spawn area, it will get deleted to stop spawn killing.[/QUOTE] Ah, ok, that solves the problem :D Is there a list somewhere with this special stuff about the map, like not spawning stuff at spawning area and such?

[QUOTE=cba1986]Dotmister, this is whay i got when i sumerge into the water, the strange thing is that i can see the waterfall perfectly. *image* Sorry for the size of the image.[/QUOTE] Nadanova had this problem or a problem like this. I'm not quite sure how he fixed it, but I think it was something that he re-installed. Also the waterfall is a particle effect, nothing to do with the water at all.

Most people like building in a nice environment. [QUOTE=Iced]After playing around with it a bit, I'm kinda disappointed.

The reason it's called gm_botmap_v3 is because it's easier to see what version of the map you're downloading, if I called it gm_botmap_forest people would get confused over weather this is updated or not. [QUOTE=defreddy44]Ah, ok, that solves the problem :D Is there a list somewhere with this special stuff about the map, like not spawning stuff at spawning area and such?[/QUOTE] Not really, if you have any problems/questions just ask.

thingshappen, it's very strange, i really don't know what to do. well i will continue trying to make that work.

After testing, I say it's a good map, BUT: 1. using the SVN, I thought the particles would be in the right folder. Apparently I was wrong.

Pants will be creamed. This is so epic! Best map ever! Mapping KING!

A massive improvement. It's a shame the cliffs look like bricks. And I've never seen a tree that grows directly under a cliff. And none of the trees actually cast a shadow. So realism, not really. But, I really do love the lighting and overall feel the map's got. The lighting is great and the brushwork isn't bad either. By the time you reach V9, the map should be awesome. :v:

The only reason it's not blocking the entities is because you're inside the brush that blocks it, if you're inside it it can't do anything as it can't process where you are in relation to the entities.

I didn't want to have too many displacements either, since they can't be hidden with the method I'm using, and I was optimising as much as I could, which after some comments obviously still isn't as good as it probably could've been. Also the cliffs that look like bricks are probably the one's that don't align right, and I've had to compromise somewhere.

thingshappen, you should've made the availability to switch tracks(not talking the intersections). Longer trains aren't really favorable for this map because of the short turntable. I understand that you may've had no room for a longer turntable. But this map needed switching between tracks to recouple for longer trains.

Thingshappen.. YOUR MAPS ARE :krad: :D

This. Map. Is. AWESOME!!

I won't lie when I say I wasn't fond of the first 2. I didn't like the plain flat-grassy look to them, but I'm [i]really[/i] liking the look of this one. I appreciate the new take on a build map, and that as a mapper, you've seemed to branched out a bit more. Congrats, got my download. :4chan:

Guys, I'm having a problem with a texture I think. I have EP2 and EP1 installed and mounted, and this is what I see (forgive me for the big pictures).

That's happens when your video card overheats. Well it does for me. Or does it happen everytime you go on the map? Tried different servers? SP?

Sconza, that is Issue on most of ATI videocards, it happened with me in L4d too, try to use methods like we used here - [url]http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=638929[/url] worked for me

epic map ! just awesome

HOLY SHIT! IT'S RELEASED! This is great! Everybody spam him mapping kings! Edit: I must make a rocket, right? I made one, but then i have to use thrusters to make it fly. I don't know why it didn't work, do you have to wire something? Or use the console?

Episode 2....Oh well, I shall still give you map king.

Dying crashes the server on this map.

Wow! This map rocks! Oh, shit, my EP2 is still being a fragged piece of crap. Damn.

I have EP2 mounted but there's still huge missing textures in the indoor building areas. So you DO need Episode 1 also. come on, AT LEAST add the ep1 textures in the map, jeez.

Glad to see this map out, thingshappen. I was playing on your server yesterday and had tons of fun with the missile silo. Kinda lags... At a steady 10-20 FPS. But the server needs fixing or something.. 'Cause there's points where the server just randomly stops responding for a few seconds then comes back, and this map will soon be on the Friendly Players Fun Build server! Anybody who would like to go there here is the I.P: 94.76.195.39:27015 That server doesn't have random lag spikes. Good luck fixing your server on that. ;)

Holy shit! Awesome! Totally downloading now!

Looks excellent! Very scenic and real looking. Great job!
