L4D Sulaco Survival map (Aliens)

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

One rainy day i was watching Aliens and i thought “That would be a fun map for L4D” so i had quick go at putting something together.

I don’t know if i’ll ever get around to finishing this, but i’ll post my WIP.

Features:
Colonial Marine APC with interior, Top turret can be moved into the stowable position.
Cheyenne Dropship with openable missle pods, retractable gear, ramp, etc.
Airlock - It’s a game ender. Once open everything on the level gets sucked into space.

I know the APC and Dropship are a bit fugly but that’s because i made them out of brushes.
I have 3DS models of the Sulaco, APC and dropship but i don’t know how to get them into source format.

I dont know if i’ll ever release this but the apc and dropship are going to feature in the new version of gm_interplanteryfunk that i’m working on.

Disagree? with what?

#2

Certainly original. :raise:

#3

Put

around those pictures.

#4

It looks empty, and really dark.

#5

Did we really need 10 screenshots of the same ship-thinggy?

#6

helicopters in space :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Not bad.
I would suggest models though, will look a lot better
for the apc and choppah i mean
definitley need lighting

#7

I’m a massive fan of the movie aliens, and i like your work for far so I have a video which displays the interior of the ship. Are the apc and gunship models?

#8

Those textures are shit. It looks interesting.

#9

Media tag that shit bro.

Cool idea for a map, needs more green funky lighting.

#10

I’m a giant fan of Aliens, and will certainly download this map. But get some better models or whatever for the dropship and APC, and get some lighting in there

#11

I’ve got really awesome models but they are in .3ds format

As for space and lighting, i can do those better. This map was more of a proof of concept style thing. I wasn’t sure how it would play in L4D - I wasn’t sure if i could make the airlock pull stuff into space. Maybe i’ll make a video if fraps is working. If anybody wants the 3DS files to make them work in source then i’ll upload them. I tried, i failed.

#12

You could use a fuckload of trigger_push’es that drag you into it.

#13

Pretty sure there is a point_push or something that allowed negative values?

#14

Shouldn’t that be called point_pull then? :v:

Yeah, I think the guy that did that spacestation decompressuring did it too.
