The FacePunch Mall

[leontodd]

Ok so i thought it would be a good idea (this will probably be a very large fail but its worth a try) to make a Facepunch Mall. Basically, everyone who replies makes a shop and uploads their shop vmf, then when i have enough shops i will put them all together into a mall and upload it as some kind of rp map.

You could make a...

Furniture shop?
Restaurant?
Lettings agency?
Music shop?
Art Gallery?

Rules...

1. The floor must be 832x832 and the walls must be 128 high.
2. When you reply please include your name, shop name and/or any other info. (For credit)
3. Most shops will be put into the map.
4. Must be playable and realistic.
5. You may include a sign to put above your shop.
6. Please only upload a vmf. Dont upload a bsp as i will not need it.
7. You must include lighting.
8. Include all custom textures in the reply if you use any.
9. Try to keep it real and not completely out of place. Eg: Dont make a haunted cave with a load of hl2 props in, it just doesn't belong in a mall.
10. Be as creative as possible!
11. You may include staff rooms and/or toilets :)
12. PLEASE UPLOAD THEM AND SEND THE LINK BY EMAIL! (This will stop all the shops clogging up garrysmod.org and so other people cant download it and edit it.)

So let the Building begin!

Any questions will be answered as soon as possible.
If you have any ideas for the actual mall part please feel free to reply with your ideas!

Here is the list of lots...

Lot 1: Zilo's Hardware Store
Lot 2: Cameleot's Electronics Store
Lot 3:
Lot 4:
Lot 5:
Lot 6:
Lot 7:

Lot 9:
Lot 10:
Lot 11:
Lot 12:
Lot 13:
Lot 14:

Silly idea because people need custom textures (Not necisarry but still) it would be difficult, and it also looks like you will be putting the maps together, like... freeloading people's ideas.

And stealing the "Facepunch house" thread is not cool.

[Fishke]

Awesome idea, I think I'll participate.

Isn't that going to kinda be weird where lighting will be different throughout entire mall?

[Zilo]

I'm making one now but cant get the door to work :/

[Fishke]

Hmm.. 832x832 is a bit too large for a mall store.

[leontodd]

true but still it gives people more space to work with and will enable people to extend there creativity. Atleast no one will have a cramped shop.

But I know that no one wants a full bright mall

Add lighting at the end.

Cool,ill participate :smile:
EDIT:Do we upload them to garrysmod.org or send them by Email?

[Fishke]

Made my store, it's a Books&Electronics store, posting pics soon.

[laserpanda]

It doesn't seem like this really fixed any of the problems that caused the Facepunch House map to fail.

You also didn't specify wall width, so some people are probably going to use 16, some will use 8, and a few will use something completely ridiculous.

What happened to CatfishTango's mall?

[leontodd]

[QUOTE=0v3rkill;17678016]What happened to CatfishTango's mall?[/QUOTE]

I dont know, i guess it died...

[Fishke]

[QUOTE=0v3rkill;17678016]What happened to CatfishTango's mall?[/QUOTE]

It died in 08'

[leontodd]

[QUOTE=cameleot;17679038]It died in 08'[/QUOTE]

well this is the new one so please take part.

[MetricMoose]

It would have been nice if there was a template or mall without stores, though I guess somebody can make that if they wish.

[Iconic]

We can be under the 812x812 limit, correct?

[leontodd]

yes

[GawsherMcGee]

Interesting collab project. Great idea! I hope to see this finished soon!

[hexpunK]

You should probably add what people have chosen to do to the OP so that we don't get duplicate shops (could be a chance for rivalry mind you).

[Jimmy422]

We tried this before, actually. It failed horribly.

[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=541754&highlight=mall[/url]

People contributed and all that good stuff, but when it got time to actually insert people's home-made lots into the mall they were either horribly made, or they just didn't fit into the lot they were assigned.

If you like, i can rebuild the template we used and let you have it.

[G71tc4]

meh, snip.

[SharpS]

Oh, look! A layout for a town.

[URL=http://img59.imageshack.us/i/world0001.jpg/][IMG]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/4755/world0001.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Each area has a number, people choose which they want then they build a house to go on it. To maintain the project, different roles must be assumed, much like if a town is to work in the real world. For instance...

HEAD OF OPTIMIZATION - Goes about, getting people to make their windows fade out when viewed from a distance. Makes sure things don't get overloaded, splits the map up if needed with hills / mountains blocking out certain areas if needed.

PLANNING PERMISSION DUDE - Yes, that must be the proper title for this person. He's in charge of conflicts between allotments and alters the size of the areas if he sees fit to do so.

BACK ALLEY PETE - Decorates the alleys between buildings, makes sure there are no brawls at night (jk)

ROAD CARER JOE - Decorates the areas outside plots, gives them correct properties (say, for instance, an industrial or park area emerges)

I don't know what else would be needed at this stage. But the rest should be able to take care of itself. The town will grow, bits will be added, areas will be chopped, and arguments will arise over who will be allowed the areas next to the sea. There are currently 45 allotments for people to choose from, which should last a while.

This is just my idea, I'm fed up of people debating things with out getting anything done so I'm just throwing in this idea to get people started. If it's a total disaster then so be it, but lessons will at least be learned and the people who participate will have used up some of their life devoted to the project in the process.

The mall could be done properly with effort.

[leontodd]

yeah, and i hope to do that. but yeah if you want to post templates you can.
