WIP- rp_"mapname" - Openworld mediterranean island map - Developers

The map is getting closer to being finished but there's still a lot to do and tons of custom stuff to be created, so everything is still WIP and subject to change. That's why I would greatly appreciate suggestions and critique and ideas. [B]the map does currently have the following features:[/B] 3 suburban houses , bank with 2 apps, apartment complex with 3 apps, clothing store with 1 app, restaurant with 1 app. supermarket with 1 app, cinema with 1 app, motel with 3 apps, bar , hospital with helipad, car dealer, gas station, police/mayor office and garage for police/fire station and helipad, lighthouse, rune, docks, water dam, other things that I want to add are a cave , camping ground, forest etc. The map is currently made by me. I only have a few custom textures in the map at the moment, my goals are to add a lot of custom models and textures but I'm not sure if I can accomplish this goal. The reason is that I can't make proper models with Maya yet.. And yet again the map is taking ages to build it has been 587 days since I released my map [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=187930698"]rp_headattackcity_v1[/URL] [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1378689"] old thread[/url] [B]Pictures:[/B] Some buildings do not have windows because I had 97% water indices. I don't like all buildings so I might redo them or edit them, because they look to blocky or they have not enough detail.

Looking fantastic so far - excellent creativity in brushwork. How's optimization working for you?

[QUOTE=Sonador;47847864]Looking fantastic so far - excellent creativity in brushwork. How's optimization working for you?[/QUOTE] Only prop fading atm and also cheap water and I still get 60+ fps :o although I still have to add a lot of props / lights and stuff

Oh, I remember this! Didn't realize it was still being worked on.

I am loving the way this is turning out!

It's looking great, [B]but[/B] i [I]personally[/I] dislike the branding of the Stores. (as seen here [url]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535146592469696675/67A183B771574BBAF066DF4CE9460F10EC130121/[/url] ) It should be possible for Server Owners to make their own Brands. The same for ATMs. Sure it looks great when you got ATMs at every corner, but i've would rather have them as an SENT, so i can script an interface, yada yada. That's the whole reason why i still run rp_flatgrass with my friends. So we can imagine our own Brands :)

It would be cool if, like your other map, there was a Metro or above-ground train system to get from one part of the map to another. Furthermore, I find that most of the time, while adding your own props and furniture to the map, it is often much better for the buildings to be very empty so the player can add their own furniture. Just my two cents on the matter, your map is looking very good!

My idea was to add a train at first but there isn't much place, so I was thinking about something else maybe a boat over the water.

That would be very cool! I find that, when a map has dynamic elements such as an elevator, train, or like you have mentioned, moving boat, it very helps to add a feel of movement and life into the map, such as that it is real.
