Titanic 100th Anniversary Dedication, The Royal Pilgrim V2. - Developers

Titanic 100th Anniversary Dedication, The Royal Pilgrim V2, by Acid aka Ripper24 aka Robert K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Hey all, seeing as it has now been 100 years since the death of such a grand ship, the Titanic, and so many hundreds who were on board. I thought it would be a good idea to bump this map I made not so long ago which was inspired by that event. It's not quite the Titanic, but I bet you won't find a better ship sinking map for the source engine. The Royal Pilgrim V2, and her Grave. ***ATTENTION, PLEASE READ BELOW AS IT WILL DEFINATELY IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE*** This is the new updated version of my map "The Royal Pilgrim, including the new sequel map "The Royal Pilgrims Grave". This zip contains two maps, one of the Royal Pilgrim, a map of a ship which you can sink by pressing a button at the stern. As well as the sequel map set many decades after the sinking of the Royal Pilgrim, in which you return to the site she sank at, and explore the old remains of the Royal Pilgrim at the bottom of the ocean.

Please leave constructive feedback! Thank you. **SHORT STORY** You are about to embark on the small, but stubborn ship, "The Royal Pilgrim". She's survived many a voyage across many a wave, hauling passengers and cargo from horizon to horizon. The captain, so proud of his ship, thought they would never fall beneath the waves, like so many before them... But sadly, this would be his and her last journey, as the ocean set out to swallow them up, just like all those before them. This was the last day the Royal Pilgrim would live, before becoming a permanent resident of the dark, cold underworld. Eventually, many decades later, she still lays in her grave at the bottom of the dark abyss, now a twisted iron corpse. Go there now, and experience what death in the deep ocean really is.

It will definately make things more interesting. If you break the ship, use the Admin Cleanup command to completely reset the map without having to start a new game. TO BEGIN: To start the process, there is a large button at the rear of the ship. BE WARNED: This can be quiet a hefty map to run on some computers, if you do not have a good computer, do not expect good performance. TO AVOID GETTING STUCK: I have done my best to make this ship as player friendly as possible, but I can only do so much with the Source Engine. You will be prone to getting stuck on this map as the ship lurches more and more, using crouch and jump is a good way to break out of this. Crouching + Noclipping can also prove a smooth way to "Pretend" to move through the ship as it sinks. DO OR DIE: If you're going to publically show this map in ANYTHING, PLEASE give me the credit. I put a lot of effort and time into this map. [editline]14th April 2012[/editline] I just realised I put this in mapping and not mapping/releases. Is it possible an admin can move this to the releases forum please?

[url]http://facepunch.com/threads/1177266[/url] :v: Just played through the map, it's very detailed. Good job. Not sure why I didn't play it when it was first released.

You should make a custom texture for the name at the back, brush based letters look crap. I can make one if you tell me what you want it to say.

I have this strange phobia of shipwrecks... And yet I'm fascinated by them. Well mapped.

[QUOTE=NotExactly;35570432]You should make a custom texture for the name at the back, brush based letters look crap.

Cheers though. [editline]15th April 2012[/editline] Also, is it possible an admin can move this to the releases forum? It was suppose to be posted there, my bad.

It's a shame that the ship isn't larger. I know the size of Titanic is virtually impossible, but a larger ship would do this map good, and judging by what you have now you should be quite capable of doing it. As for the rest of the map, it looks really awesome. Good job there, buddy :)

Good work, looks very nice :) This gives me an idea... [url]http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/titanic/explorer/explorer.html[/url]

I was really bored so I decided to make one anyway. Put it in /materials/custom, if it's the wrong size change the scale in the .vmt. Also it looked weird without a location below the name, so I put London as a placeholder. [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/THE_ROYAL_PILGRIM_DECAL_1.zip[/url]

It was very difficult to get the ship to sink realistically and keep it as big as I could. The only way I could make it bigger would be to sacrifice the interior. But I do plan to do that, as soon as I'm fully inspired again. [editline]16th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NotExactly;35582814]I was really bored so I decided to make one anyway.

Love this map, it seems to be the first of it's kind. Please continue on with version 3, particularly with a bigger ship and perhaps a more customizable sinking. Screenshot of the Royal Pilgrim shipwreck. [img]http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/8420/2012041700001.jpg[/img]

Wow, a ship that you can walk on while it's sinking has been a dream of mine since I first found phys_titanic. Very good job!
