[B] Intro: [/B]
Welcome all to the first Facepunch Puzzle Hub project!
The collaborative project all about about expressing your creativity through the creation of puzzles and team challenges!
[/release]
[release]
[B]Rules:[/B]
Really, this is my first shot at creating a collaborative project on Facepunch, and after seeing similar projects sprout up and fail I decided to diverge and take a new approach.
Instead of assigning the participator a confined space (which puts a huge stopper on creativity) I've elected to mark off huge areas of the hammer grid for participators to work in.
Anyways, the rules:
[B]1. Cell size must be at the edges of or within the template. (see rule 14)
2. Your teleportation area must fit within a 256x cube. (Explanation below)
3. Your teleportation area must lead to somewhere within [U]YOUR[/U] cell.
4. No 'Play Everywhere' sounds.
[/B]
[B]5. Optimize your section to the best of your abilities.
6. No strict entity limit, but use as few entities as possible.
7. Must have a puzzle and/or teamwork based objective.
8. Entities must be labeled (your Facepunch name)_entityname
[/B]
[B]9. (optional) Personal model for me to place within the camp. (Can be an NPC) (Explanation below)
10. (optional) Sounds for your personal model to speak when the player approaches them.
[/B]
[B]11. (optional) A banner to place on the arch above your teleportation area. (Explanation below)
12. When you're finished, upload your work and post it here. (in a single .zip)
13. [B]There is no set deadline! Take as long as you need.[/B]
14. [B]Everything you build must be inside this template! [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?i2tq6jk96xxt2b2[/url][/B]
[/B]There's no set theme, so what's inside your space is for you to decide! (as long is it adheres to the rules)
Custom models/sounds/textures/particle effects are welcome as long as they are included in your release.
[/release]

[B]The Main Area:
[/B]The base for this project lies in the Main Area, which is a mixture of two things:
[B]The Camp
[/B]The Camp is the temporary residency for the explorers, who have been teleported there for some reason.

Another angle:
[IMG]http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5084/devcastle0b0016.jpg[/IMG]
Once you have completed the first puzzle, a portal will appear on the center circle that takes you to The Hub.
[B]The Hub:
[/B]
The Hub provides a teleportation area for each puzzle. (Portal that goes back to The Camp is positioned at the far side.)

[B]Suggestions:
[/B]
Simple matching puzzles such as mine, in which you match each skull to the correct altar to open a door that leads back to the hub.

Could I get a mod to change the title to Facepunch Puzzle Collab v.1? :v:
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33558383]This has potential. I might actually give it a go. [B]Count me in.[/B] I am going to do a horror puzzle. When is the dead line?
I want Slot 1 :v:[/QUOTE]
Alright, added you to the list.
Also, updated the OP with another example.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33558462]Thanks. By the way; I would suggest you re-do the camp. It doesn't look very good. The big wall is blocky and the textures are bland. Also, why do you have a spot light in that tower but fire lanterns on the floor? Surely either you should use fire, or electricity.[/quote]
I'm confused. Does it not look good because of the big blocky wall, or because of the camp itself?
Also the reason there's a spotlight is because I had originally planned for an npc fight in the camp, and there's still a guy left over scanning with the turret.
Things like this will be removed and/or fixed by the time the final version rolls out. (if it does)
I see.
I suppose I'll post the better versions of the main area as they're developed.
PLEASE don't let this fall off the map like the Bunker Collaboration thread. Too many Collab threads have fallen through. Good luck.
I'll keep reporting back for as long as I get entries and responses. :wink:
World of Warcraft skybox ?
edit : and tents actually
Update on the wall geometry:

Also yeah, I forgot to mention that I nabbed a few things from WoW. :v:
Put me down, I'll take a crack at this. Sounds fun.
[QUOTE=ViralHatred;33559657]Put me down, I'll take a crack at this. Sounds fun.[/QUOTE]
Will do.
[B]Update on the camp[/B]:
Gave order to things in addition to adding tables to place custom props on.

How the entire starting area looks as of now:

[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33564467]Wall and camp look soo much better. Well done.
Side note: We won't let this die, hopefully. Because I am here. I will try get some mappers to sign up.[/QUOTE]
That would be amazing!
Thanks for going out of your way to help me with things. :smile:
Me and Anonymous are doing a puzzle as a team :smile:
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33566530]No problem. Also, as Sphinxa has said. We're going to work together to make a puzzle. So, please add him besides my name.[/QUOTE]
Alright. Welcome sphinxa :v:
Ima reserve a spot for myself... I might make a gauntlet-styled npc battle.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33571343]Me and Sphinxa are starting work on our puzzle tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33572078]Why don't you enter and give it a go? Then upon your upload, people can give you [I]creative[/I] criticism to help you improve in mapping.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=devcon;33572706]So do you want me to sign you up for a slot?[/QUOTE]
Sure but i will give it up if needed or if someone else is clearly more worthy of a slot
[QUOTE=ineedateam1;33572804]Sure but i will give it up if needed or if someone else is clearly more worthy of a slot[/QUOTE]

Cell size is in the rules. :v:
Though I suppose I could upload a template for people to build inside of.
For what do you need the main vmf might I ask?

[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33573827]I wacked up this in half an hour. No-where near completion, just a simple 'sneak peak' at the theme of my puzzle. There is [I]much[/i] more to this than meets the eye.

Lookin' good!

(not even close to finished)
The objective will be to destroy all of the enemy spawn points to receive a special collectible item at the end.
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33574106]Thanks. Just a pre-notice; "receive a special collectible item at the end." How're you going to make it so the 'collectible item' can go through the teleport? Huurr
Edited:
Please upload a VMF of the selected area we can use and when is the dead-line? [/QUOTE]
By ticking both the client and physics objects flags on the teleport trigger.
I'll get to uploading that template. Expect an OP update soon.
Also, the deadline is whenever you feel your section is complete. I'm trying not to rush this in case I don't get a full house right away. :v:
[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;33574152]ok[/QUOTE]
Updated the OP with a template.

What are you doing!
There is a perfectly good model button.
Also, we should map within Episode 2, as opposed to CSS.
Well, this is beginning to sink.

I'm having fun trying to make my puzzle work with as few entities as possible, no hints are being given though.
Just a status update on my team puzzle, it's nearing completion as we speak.
(I don't want to reveal details about it for fear of spoilers :v:)
