I sort of finished my exodus base. I dunno if i'll use it for anything so anyone who wants to use it is free to. I copied the yantar lab pretty much. I might have forgotten to add some lights indoors. [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3310518/gmodshit/rs_exodusbase.vmf[/url]

I started work on a map for it and I installed the gamemode etc but I can't spawn any of the gamemode-specific entities. Is there something else I need to do?

huh? open the VMF for the test map i made, it's in the OP. It has all the entities. you can copy paste them into your map. There's also a weapon you can use to spawn stuff ingame if you wanna mess around with it.

there's only like 6 or 7 entities... all of which are pretty simple to use. the only entity that uses keyvalues is the radiation entity. Just open the example VMF, it's pretty easy.

Done some progress on my map, about to start on the skybox and stuff, got the displacements done. Taken a pic and added some stuff to show where I plan to add radiation/bases. I named the map "The Lonely Road" (For obvious reasons) [IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx53/awettowel/TheLonelyRoad.png[/IMG]

good start. to be honest i really doubt that i have the time to finish my map, so anyone who wants to use parts from my VMF can feel free to. I've already got a good start on the army warehouse base, as well as the exodus science bunker.

Oh man, I may have to make a map for this, like I did for ReDead. (Even though it was pretty shitty map, but I was a noob then.) [editline]09:03PM[/editline] Oh shit, I know EXACTLY what I'm doing now... Think of Siberia + Radioactive Fallout. [editline]10:07PM[/editline] [img]http://imgkk.com/i/CYzj2q.jpg[/img] About 10 minutes of work, after making custom blend textures.

Anyone know why my Paint Alpha isn't working? It's really bugging me. EDIT: Nevermind, got it working. Got a pic of the map with the sun. There's a bunker just below the pic that you can't see which will be the Exodus base. [IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx53/awettowel/TheLonelyRoad_SunPic.png[/IMG]

Everything looks like it's coming out great ^_^

(huge pic here)[/QUOTE] I'm assuming that you are no-where near done on that, and have yet to add any major structures besides what you've shown and talked about. Need a few shanty towns here and there, a bunker or two (that factions can take over), and a gas station. Gotta' have the gas station! It's traditional!

That pic is still slightly outdated, I moved the sun a little and I've almost done the bunker right now.

I might try this. I'm not doing much else, other than having massive inspiration loss. and just out of curiosity, how are did redblade get/make that heightmap? I might use something like that if I knew how.

Following that tutorial as we speak. It's great.

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;20498159]Following that tutorial as we speak. It's great.[/QUOTE] I know, it's not even that hard either.

Compiling now :v: [editline]09:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=RedBlade2021;20498218]I know, it's not even that hard either.[/QUOTE] Most tutorials are so over-compilcated. For instance; [url=http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=27052]This.[/url] I took one look at that, shat myself and went off the idea.

But anyway, from my picture you saw how big I made mine. Well, that was a mistake. Waited an hour for it to compile, got bored and cancled it. Besides, I hate waiting like that inbetween tests. :P

My map is almost done now, the bases are finished I just need to add the details to the wasteland.

Try retro fitting this game mode to maps that already exist. If I could make some suggestions from garrysmod.org, I'd say these maps could be tinkered around with a little to be useful and fun. gm_reaction [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=58099[/url] gm_megadesertV3 [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=31262[/url] gms_rollinghills [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=56891[/url] Just a few ideas guys.

I think I'll try to map something today for this gamemode.

Well I've been sick lately so I might as well try mapping this. I'm not that good yet. :downs:

Hey, about the info_npcspawn what kind of NPCs will it make? Zombies or Combines?

Im going to put Radioactive Sandbox on my server... Just waiting for a map :)
