Discuss Our Dorm Map Here

[Beetle]

So I have been talking to Hax, and I think I would like to do another community map - specifically a dormitory. I just need to see who is interested because, well, if no one is interested I shouldn't waste my time, huh?

Assuming this is made, there will be major differences between this map and cchotel. A few are:

- Much smaller rooms and lobby
- No music (unless specifically told by me)
- A limit on the number of prop_dynamics/prop_physics you can have (later determined)
- optimization, func_details required
- Greater use of geometry, less use of props
- It will be stable and will not crash
- Will have a goal such as Hide N' Seek

So anyone interested? No need to ask questions until I get a set of rules in.

[Haxwehttam]

Of course I am interested

[BILLY MAYZING!!!]

i was ALSO talking to hax (just as i was planning to redo my shitty cchotel room) so i think we should try this.

and ive been requesting a hide n seek thing (that ISNT prop hunt) for months now. so im all in

[Trilby]

Seems like a good idea, I'm interested.

[LaN]

I love this.............wish I could model instead of design

[Twister]

I'm interested......

[the asylum]

Oh yeah. I def need a room. I totally missed out on cchotel

[Taedium]

Set me up. I had a lot of fun making my Hotel room. Unfortunatly I haven't even touched SDK since the hotel, so I need to completely refresh on how to work Hammer and such.

[rudedog04]

Im in, and this time im going for glory. From using the most models available in Hammer to having slim to none is my goal. lets see what happens.

good. I'm putting a strict limit in this time though, so you won't have to worry about me sending it back. I hope to cover all the bases when I set the rules this time.

[squishy]

I'm interested. I've been looking for something creative to do lately.

[TgameP]

Well I guess I'm in but my input is going to be very limited without hax's help but I do like the idea of a rework of the hotel maybe we can finally get the one big map that will get people off melee checkers (oh god PLEASE!!!!!!)

[Bishop]

I'd be interested if you'd do the honor of making my room again? I suck at SDK :< But this sounds like a generally great idea!

[Egonny]

I see that you have learned from the disaster that was cc_hotel?
The rules sound a lot better, so I'm gonna start making a room today .
I'm making a Minecraft themed room, so don't you guys copy me .
Also Beetle, is there no way I could add custom sounds for stepping on grass, stone, planks (like on pl_minecraft)?

[Celtic]

Is this only going to be one floor?
Also, do you want more custom user artwork? I have plenty of stuff I didn't put up for use last time.

i just finished planning my minecraft room YESTERDAY

i hate you so much right now

That's not custom. Go into each texture's vmt file and add

...though they should have come with it unless you're making your own minecraft textures.

Sure. Just make sure it is yours and I'll use some of it. It will be more than 1 floor, but that's not too important right now. I plan to make a few more floors, but many less rooms per floor so its not like cchotel.

[Beetle]

Egonny if you're going to make breakable blocks, PLEASE don't make them tiny and abundant.

Don't get your hopes up. I would find it hard to believe anything would topple shitty melee maps on votes. I think we've all seen it all by now.

I meant Minecraft sounds of stepping on grass, stone, ...

[Beetle]

pl_minecraft's sounds sound just like the ones in tf2 to me.

[LaN]

Anyone want to make a room for me.

I haven't touched SDK in months so I might have to refresh myself.

[OldManJenkins]

Oh God, yes.
I've been wanting something like this ever since Hotel's painful and untimely demise.

Count me in, brotha.

[KarmA]

Ill make one
Cept I gotta learn about optimization. Damnit.

[OldManJenkins]

Because I am an incredibly bored person, I went ahead and started.

I know, awesome, right?
This is only after about five minutes in hammer (or the "oh look at the time" equivalent), but I think I've got a pretty good grip on what I'm going to do.

[Beetle]

What texture is that from? I don't remember it, but maybe it was added with medieval or manor.

I'd complain if my dorm room's floor was dirt and grass.

[OldManJenkins]

The material is nature/blendgroundtograss008. I can't be sure, but it looks like a standard HL2 texture to me. I'll probably change it before I'm done, anyway.

I'm not done yet, jeez.

LaN was just being funny.

and OMJ, feel free to use whatever textures you want, just be sure they will work when you send me everything. I don't install things that I don't need, and therefore I haven't any hl2 textures myself.
