So, about a year ago I made a WIP thread for this map.
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=733169[/url]
It's been sitting on my harddrive doing fuck all since then, so I figured I should release it. It's a fairly large maze, separated by hundreds of walls that randomly move up and down. I had to put a timer at the start of the map before the doors open so the maze has time to mix it up a little bit before the players walk out into it. Go play with your gameboy or something while you wait or set the host_timescale if you're playing in single player.
Once you reach the exit, you can walk around above the maze and shoot at people down below or toss grenades at guys stuck in a cubicle. There's a button that toggles all the walls up or down, and a button that opens all the walls at once.
I'll be the first to say it's not a pretty map, it's kinda ugly, but it's more about the fun really anyway.

Sped up video of an old version of the map:

That's awesome. Definitely trying this one out.
Whoa, that looks awesome.
Wait, what happenes if the exit is cut off?
Then its impossible...and what if your trapped by all 4 walls?
But other than that is it a great map. Its origional, fun, and I don't see many ways to cheat other than getting above the walls.

The walls go up and down every minute or so, so if you get cut off just wait a bit and you'll be able to get through.
Make it a L4D2 survival map :v:
Now this is awesome!
A great idea executed perfectly :v:
Darn, I had an idea for a map like this, but you beat me to it!
Looks good though, gonna download. :)
i'm already envisioning myself raining fire and zombies on unsuspecting players below :3
This should really have a permanent server host.
Also, this is made with a shitload of func_doors and a logic_timer tied to each one correct?
Also, 30 days till gold :D
Also, is it noded?

Yep, just a bunch of func_doors and logic_timers.
And no, it's not noded yet. I guess I should get on that though.
I thought it was annoying I had to wait for the clock to go in the maze.
I think u should also make sections of it burst into flames randomly, that would be pretty cool. Or else you could make zombies spawn randomly.
also. make the roof an npc clip. It would be awesome to have pockets of manhacks/combines swarming throughout the maze. your hole opens up and WHASHAM theres a shit ton of npcs shooting at you.
its lame when the manhacks just fly a level above the doors and then come down on you.
you should put a kill barrier so people dont hop on a rising wall and cheat.

Don't the walls already kill you when they go up?
[QUOTE=Firegod522;21708080]I thought it was annoying I had to wait for the clock to go in the maze.[/QUOTE]
I'm probably going to fix that. Maybe I'll just set the timers to go off a lot quicker for the first few seconds or something. I just didn't think it was very fair that people could just rush out into the open room before any walls come up and get to the end first.
I got lost in 2 minutes
I just remembered what this reminded me off:
An old Windows screensaver that would work its way through a random 3D maze, occasionally turning upside-down. You could put lots of psychedelic textures on the walls, floor and ceiling, and so on.
I remember testing this map before its release.
It was a lot of fun.
Oh god, this looks crazy :O
Oh shit fun looking map!
DL'ing, could be useful for goofing around in sandbox.
Had some pretty fun times with this on my server playing SRP. I remember watching the video of this a very long time ago, glad it's finally been released.
Got my DL.
I played the map and I thought it was very fun. I had an idea that you can make the room near the catwalks (with the checkered floor) have monitors and stuff, then there can be a button with a sign next to it that says "Release Rollermines". When you push it it'll spawn 10 roller mines around the map. :<
I can safely assume that this map will turn me insane.
Good job!
I love this map. But without other people its kinda lame. especially since npcs just stand there. Node it, and ad an npc clip on top of the maze, and i will be your slave
WOW very creative idea, can't wait to try :D
