rp_Tree_Of_Life - Developers

This is the first map I have ever advertised publicly, so please be nice. :rolleyes: Intended for large scale RP game modes, this map has several beaches, a large quarry area, a working ferry And a downtown area surrounding a large old oak in a park(spawn). I created the entirety of the map myself with the exception of the day/night elements, taken from Sgt.Sgt's Evocity_V33x.vmf. Also, If anybody has other ideas for a name, I am very open to them!

Oh yea, and excuse my doors, they are all retarded because I overwrote them with the Black Mesa skins.

could you include some pictures please?

I would embed them, but im not sure how to make them resize, thus when I tried the post was massive

To be honest this looks quite good. Few things need touched up though such as some of the low res textures in some of the screenshots.

Thanks, yea some of the textures may look worse due to the post process filters I had turned on, and there a a few things I plan to retexture(exterior of the beach houses for instance) Oh yea, and excuse my doors, they are all retarded because i overwrote them with the black mesa skins.

Looks pretty awesome! Have you considered adding pipes on the sides of walls or throwing a little trash or graffiti here and there?

Yet more good ideas, yea I started doing some graffiti but it didnt feel right, I will probably have a lot of the in the harbor when its done. I also plan to add power boxes and pipes and such in downtown.

When you take screenshots, disable the GMOD bloom and Toy Town.

I am sorry but this looks like you stole all of Sgt Sicknesses models and materials... Also this map is just strange i should say?

Stole? not at all, I very clearly credit him all over the place, he also specifically says in a post linked below that the assets may be used for other maps, [QUOTE]Do not edit or redistribute this map, it's content, or the addons/svns in any way shape or form without my WRITTEN consent. You may use the content in another map only. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=900002[/url][/QUOTE] In addition to that, I Actually used more of Tophatwaffles textures than Sickness's. Though I Admit I created very few of them myself.

I'm not liking those cliffs, they are way to flat. You should probably consider doing a blend texture on the beach to. It looks alright, just could use a bit more work.

Yea I plan to redo the cliffs and have already redone most of the beaches, the screenshots are preliminary, not even close to ready for release yet.

Looks pretty good! Did you use any materials/content from Episode 2/TF2? It's a real turn-off for me, as a server owner, if a nice-looking map requires EP2 content (unless it gets packed with the map), but that may just be me. Also, I'd be more than happy to supply a mirror if you would like :)!

Thanks I am using few things from ep2/tf2 not too many though. As for mirrors, I will probably just use garrysmod.org and a couple others like Mediafire ect...

i can see light spots on the ceiling put the light entities in the middle of the room

which screenshot are you referring to?

anything indoors

I prefer to have the fixture illuminated by the light itself, sorry its just my style, so I don't see it as an issue.

Updated OP with new screenshots.

Very nice work looks incredible

Ok so are you going to beta this soon on facepunch and have server side / client side

I'm good at this stuff.

Sorry I haven't really kept up with this thread, but I have been hard at work on the map, look for more screenshots soon, as for helping with my text/signs, by all means im terrible at them, just link me to a .png and i would be happy to use it and of course credit you.
