Rp_Cityway_V1 Beta - Developers

[/pathetic] Man get some theme. Dang, this is the same thing as the last map. Sickness and The Pro have monopolized the whole "It's a modern city in a landlocked area." Sickness may have even killed the cliff texture. Get something fresh man. A new location, a new idea. Make it hot, make it cold, make a beach, ANYTHING. Also, curbs?

I still agree, we need more variation with maps especially construct and RP.

Added some hdr but now my pavements look a little bit bright. any suggestions on what light environment settings I should use? My current is Brightness : 235 222 177 600 Ambient : 75 92 118 400 pitch : -60 [IMG]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/hdr2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/hdr1.jpg[/IMG]

That's a lot better.

I still want more theme. >:| The light environment is, well, bland is the only word that come to mind. Maybe play more with the color? Can the map be at sunset or sunrise? Raining or snowing? ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SUNNY DAY?

New vid [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DluviGuhj_o[/media] Video may still be processing.

The maps taking shape, remember to fix the doors and the gate that auto closes. Also add some lighting to that tunnel as its awful dark.

The overall layout seems fine. However, judging by how your textures look, it seems like you're not mapping properly on the grid to make your textures fit the way that they are intedned to. Or you can just align them properly as well. On the topic of textures though, the overall use of textures is poor and needs improving, especially the sidewalk. Also, just to nitpick, your parking decals in the video at 0:40 (the one at the end) aren't used properly. They're meant to be surrounded on three sides, right now it looks weird since the end decal is suppose to be against a curb of some sort. Speaking of curbs, the texture on yours is very repetitive, either flip it 90 degrees or find a nice trim texture. Moreover, you don't seem to really have curbs, just the sidewalk. Clip it. I also suggest redesigning the sidewalks since they look very unrealistic. On the topic of unrealistic, the stairs at 2:07 are not only textured incorrectly, but also made incorrectly. I'd just like to reiterate the poor texture placement again, I'd say that you are going to need to completely retexture the whole map, specifically to your glass surfaces too. Overall, it seems like the map has potential but just isn't being executed properly. It also appears that you're not that experienced in Hammer judging by most of the architecture. If I were you I'd work on this map and perhaps release it, but keep in mind that the main purpose of creating a map is practice. You should make another RP map in the future after you're more experienced at mapping. /rant

Looks pretty epic.

cool

Looks nice and warm.

I'll get some more pictures up tomorrow :) Got cross road junction done and currently starting on city train station.

Update [4/2/10] : Cross Road [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0000.jpg[/img_thumb] New early city stages pic1 [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0001.jpg[/img_thumb] New early city stages pic2 [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0002.jpg[/img_thumb] Entire map from above (Entire map does not render at once so don't worry) [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0003.jpg[/img_thumb] Train Station in city with no platform detail or props yet. Just showing the building [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0004.jpg[/img_thumb] Rape Van. [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0005.jpg[/img_thumb]

This picture really bugs me because the road just suddenly cuts off. Add some curbs or make it a displacement and have it curve down to the dirt. [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0000.jpg[/img_thumb]

Damn, amazing for a early stage, definitely going to check this out.

Agreed, looks amazing so far cant wait for it!

Looks even better.

Alot of detail to be added and so on.

Looks epic jamzzster :v:

A few suggestions I would like to point out as I am usually trying to earn my money by handling public transit in RP: - The bus stop shown in the video looks good, but the road ends quite quickly, how is the bus going to turn around? - I like the look of the train / tram, but could you please make it so it is player drivable instead of what most maps use these days where the system is automatic. Looking forward to the map already.

In the magical world where roads don't have gutters and sidewalks hover in place. :iiam:

[QUOTE=jamzzster;21401300]Haven't got round to adding gutters yet and what do you mean by "sidewalks hover in place"? Edit: 400th Post[/QUOTE] I used the wrong word- but disregard that last part entirely.

Looks great!

Update [20/4/10] : I've decided to bring the 2 holiday apartments from Townsend_v1p Though the area and scenery around them will be much more detailed and nice and nicer. Improvements will also be made in the apartment buildings them self's and around them. As soon as I get some pictures of the apartments in Cityway I'll upload. For now here's 1 of the apartments you might recognise [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_townsend_v1p0009.jpg[/img_thumb] Also another building added to the city: [img_thumb]http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/jamzzster/rp_cityway_v1_beta0009.jpg[/img_thumb]

You buildings are amazing jamzzster, Also it will be good to see some buildings fixed up from townsend and added.

It's lovely. Great work Jamzzster, have always enjoyed your maps.

Update [25/4/10] :Another update with pictures. First few are the new holiday/beach area still being worked on and others are just newer random bits around the map!
