Ok. Because I am pretty much going berserk about not being able to attend this years Qlimax in the Netherlands, I have decided to make a rave map. And before you quit reading: ITS NOT ANOTHER SHITTY BUNNYHOP MAP! That's right. Its not just a map with strobe lights and rave music. Its an actual map where people can perform REAL DJ performances and light shows. It is going to be 100% customizable, too!
There really is no reason to be posting this, as I have a pretty good idea on what I am adding to this map, but I want your ideas on what YOU think should be in a rave map. I've already covered the basics... lasers, lights, sound, etc. What I want is actual IDEAS such as patterns for lights, like making them flash one at a time and sweep across the walls, or have the lights move randomly around the crowd.
As of right now, my brother is pestering me into making this a type of role play map, but I think I am lacking the mapping skills to make such a map... but maybe.
I also intend for this to be a publicly released map... once I finish it that is.
With all that said... Post away!

You shouldn't really have posted this until you had some form of content. But I like the idea, even though I hate rave. It's .. a different idea...
I figured that was clear that I have made most of it already when I said:

Btw. I forgot pictures of what I looks like so far. These are kinda out of date mabye by about a week or so, but I have made much more for it and some of the stuff that does exist cant really be seen because they are either patterns, or movements for the lights that cant really be captured through a picture.

Well then I apologise, and I agree, it's hard to capture laser movements and what-not in a picture. But next time, maybe add some pictures before you make it? Thanks <3

What do you mean?
Also I literally just uploaded a picture of what it looks like as of right now.

The 3 lights on each side can go up (current position) and down (aiming at the floor)
You can change each of the lasers colors by buttons as seen in the picture in the album, either Red, Greed, Blue, or White. The wall lights currently have 3 sequences, strafing, flashing, or alternating. I am currently working on buttons in order to change EACH INDIVIDUAL light on the floor, allowing plenty of possibilities, and patterns.
There is also a smoke screen that can be turned on, but I have it off so that you can see everything clearly in the picture.

agree +1
Being totally honest, I can barely see anything.. The spotlights are only really working on the right, and on the walls at the far back. I can't see the floor. I know it's meant to be a rave/dance sorta deal, but if you can't even see the floor that may be a little problem.
And to be totally honest, the lasers make it look like a minge fest, you should put them on the ceiling in a line, and make them move up and down in lines, and strobing. Then move to random, then to another set pattern, etc. Just my opinion.
Ill take that into consideration. And I know the floor lighting is a problem. I literally have [B]no[/B] lights in that area XD
Also I just noticed my light props under the spotlights arent showing up >.>
Im also raising the ceiling because Ive run out of room to put things without making it look clustered.
I already had plans for a rail hanging from the ceiling, but those were for lights, not lasers. I might add a few here and there now that you mentioned it though.
And as for the strobing lasers. That was on my to-do-list. Take a look at that Youtube video, because I am pretty much already doing everything in that video
Well then it sounds pretty cool. I wish you all the best with it man :)
EDIT: Are you going to add a bar and stuff?
Well, do you have the music down?
I make Techno/Trance music if you are interested.

I can add you on steam or vice versa.
Good idea, how will it be customizable?

Not at the moment... I could if you really want to.

When I said 100% customisable... I meant it. The sound played in hammer is going to point to 5 generic song names, ravemap_song1, ravemap_song2, ravemap_song3, and on.... Of course "ravemap" is going to be the actual map name... which I haven't decided on yet.
So say a server owner is using this map, and a player wants to do a light show for his favorite techno song... He gives/tells the server owner the song, the server owner force-downloads that file (after renaming it to one of the files above...) to all the clients, and BAM! the player can do a light show for his favorite song, and once it is over or someone else wants to do another show, they can overwrite the file, and VOLLIA! its the new song!
This way, the map isn't restricted to just 5 songs, and the server owner can put his own songs in that he likes, or put in songs other players want to DJ for. How do you guys like [B][I]that[/I][/B]?
Edit:
Just realized that had nothing to do with what you were asking.... well it does a bit I guess. If you would like to contribute to this that would be great! I could include your songs as a "Stock" set? If that's all right with you. It would be nice if there was a variety. Personally, I'm often switching between softcore and hardcore techno/trance, An example would be songs like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9y77czgtBA&feature=PlayList&p=7B4E5767A6EB19A9&index=3&playnext=4&playnext_from=PL"]Azrael - Tune Out[/URL], [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TqmmHZSJo8&feature=related"]Azrael - Overdead[/URL], or something softcore like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRgnV5cqraw"]Dj Joop - The Future[/URL]

Steam Name?
now that's fancy!!! Wish I could come up with structures like that :(
You can. It's not that complex.
Its not that I lack the ability to make that stuff... I just cant come up with fancy structures in my head without some type of picture or guideline. I'm just not that creative in that area.

I bet you if you put that in garrysmod, somebody would probably make a wire contraption to make a song. And nice job, did you use env_shake when you hit the base button to make things shake?

The point of your post was????
[QUOTE=SeveredSkull;21168467]The point of your post was????[/QUOTE]
What was the point of yours just now?
He was saying he agrees. As do I sometimes when I get a mapping block.

I took it as an insult... idk why. If he actually wrote a sentence it would be clear as to what his meaning was.
Anyways. I like the positive feedback, but no one has given me ideas, except for the bar which Im a struggling to find a place for.
You could probably light up the bottom of the floor and add a func_smokevolume.
I did that with func_dustcloud... I couldnt get func_smokevolume to work. Gah I cant believe I forgot that part in the OP.

Lmao I always wanted that song! thanks for that. But I'm mainly looking for ideas since the songs are switchable. :D
Great... now I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head all day.
EDIT:
No bother for another post... Ill just Edit this one instead.
Progress So Far: (This time I turned the Fog ON)
