Alright. There's been a complete lack of Half-Life 2 themed maps. I'm not happy with this fact, and since 1 Duck's beautiful City12 map seems to be released sometime in the next 50 years, and the most played Hl2 map is Dav Brun's weeaboo City 8 map, I've decided to take it upon myself to fix that.
Now, I miss the days when City 45 and City 18 were the most played. They're still the best, even though City 45 is a pile of broken shit. C45 and C18 are STILL the best. I just hope mine comes anywhere close to those beautiful maps.
Now. City 35 is a strange sort of map. It's [i] teeeeeechnically [/i] a Valve map. Well, more of a discontinued Valve map. You see, I came into possession of the WCMappack, and while looking through them, I noticed that some of these could make perfect RP maps. So I did just that. Now, you can whine, bitch, and moan about how this shit isn't mine, but I had to refucking texture this entire thing, because Valve cannot into Nodraw. So this is my goddamn work now. Oh, and I made most of the interiors like trainstations and Nexuses. (Or is that Nexi?)
Right, enough of the introduction, you came here to see some fucking cities.
[u][b]Main City [/b][/u]
Main Plaza, I.E. first thing you see when you walk out of the Trainstation.

The apartment building. Yes there will be doors. And yes. That is a 1984 reference.

[b][u]Like one picture of the Trainstation. [/b][/u]
Completely unfinished. I've still got to overdetail the whole place.
[IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/rp_city35_new0000.png[/IMG]
I've got a few more I'll post later, I still need to fix them all up though. But yeah. That's City 35 so far.
Obligatory Credits section.
Valve - Obviously, since they pretty much made the map.
Myself - For retexturing EVERYTHING, and doing interiors and everything.
The Missing Information team - Seriously. You guys rock. Thanks for letting me use your textures and models, (Even though they are technically Valve's Models. I still fucking love you.)
And the Red Letter Day Roleplay community, mostly for forcing me to make this map.
So yeah. C&C/Death threats below.
Victory apartments, is that a 1984 reference?

Wow, I'm stupid :v:
[editline]1st May 2011[/editline]
Nice map though too, if not a little blocky/undetailed. Although if you got it from valve, I suppose that's not your problem.

Yeah. The undetailed problem is partially my fault, y'know, I usually leave the overhauling till the end. As for the blockyness, C17 is pretty blocky, but hey, so are most cities, I'm just going to detail it so the blockyness isn't as visible.
Yeah, the buildings in the fourth picture are just textured cubes, and that really stood out I think.
[QUOTE=Isaiah Mustafa;29538743]Yeah, the buildings in the fourth picture are just textured cubes, and that really stood out I think.[/QUOTE]
Actually, the thing on the right is a fence with a light on, and the building on the left isn't blocky, it's just the screenshot.
[QUOTE=Rowtree;29538605]

Also the lighting looks really bad, those buildings look out of place next to the ctiidal. Train is ripped from beginning of Hl2
I'm talking about this one

Point still stands, just flip left and right.
Also yeah, those buildings are pretty blocky, however, that's being sorted, I've got my team of highly trained monkeys working on it.
yeah, they're pretty blocky actually
-whoop-
Good start, I like the sky a lot although the fog needs a bit of adjusting.
I'm working on a Half-Life 2 map as well, so you're not alone. :v:
Hey good work on the map.
The same is too original O.o
and im not sure about the citadel either, but it adds atmosphere even tho it doesent make the most sense.
Anyways good job
[QUOTE=Soret;29543159]I found content made by daaev bruwn aka the tranny.
It is at the "hors on a colum" part, if you look at the door, but still I don't give a fuck.
This map needs to be done. :P[/QUOTE]
Actually, that door's from Ep1.

Yeah. I've been working on the fog, trying to see what's best for it, and I think I may have come up with a decent solution.

Believe me. I've had alot of problems with the citadel. It's just too bright right now. It doesn't fit the mood.
So, I've got two ways of fixing it. A. I use the E3_terminal citadel, which looks beautiful.
B. I use another moving citadel which looks good, but is extremely fucking small, although, I think I can fix that.
[b] Hey. Read this. I've decided to livestream my mapping and shit. Go here: [/b]

Updaaaate plz.
[QUOTE=Soret;29648936]Updaaaate plz.[/QUOTE]
Or you could, ya'know, be patient :colbert:
There, I made you something nice what you can use on the map. :P

Btw, I'll add you on steam.
Use some texture brushes to make parts of it seem faded, and you got a really cool texture.

This is not a fancy-o-smancy banner, this is a complex index for the city, lol, what I just put together.
It's not "combiney" or "half lifey" enough :confused:
Alright gentlemen. Let's see some updates.
Firstly. I've noticed some problems with my lighting. Quite frankly, I hate them. So. Lights are going to be fixed.
Secondly. Detail. Deeeeeeeetaaaaail. The one thing that can make or break a map. I've been attempting to detailify the main plaza, rather than the trainstation, which I am going to get to.
Finally, we have the citadel. I didn't like the citadel at first. So I removed it. Went through three different citadels. None of them worked, so I used a brush based one. Looked horrible, so I had to fix that up.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/rp_city35_new00343202.png[/img]
Yeah. There it is. Completely shitty, but amazing.
Oh, by the way. Based on this: [url]http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Citadel#Tiles_version[/url]
Can't you tell the fog colour doesn't match the skybox?
[editline]6th May 2011[/editline]
That would help add to the atmosphere

Yeah. I know. It's being worked on. I've got several ideas with the fog and the skybox and all this stuff. Hell. I just found another citadel to try.
Nice work Rowtree keep it up
