Title: Yellow's City and Yellow's Island
Post by: Yellow Killer on June 30, 2011, 06:21:06 AM
I've been thinking of creating a city called Yellow's City and an island called Yellow's Island with my maps. This is going to be a long project since it has to do with maps. I'll make these maps with for zombie survival, possibly any other gamemode.

Details about the city:

You're in my city, and you're in one of the gamemodes, and whatever area you're in, it will show what number area you're in, and, or what is the name of the area, and it will tell you what district you're in, also whatever borough. You can also see that when I build two maps next to each other, they will have the same layout, no changes (except for updates). I will make a map(drawn) of the city in a couple of days or so. Also, to straight out the areas, districts, boroughs, I came it up with like this:
Area: The Part of a District, and Small.
District: The Parts of a Borough, Medium sized.
Borough: Large Size, takes over one part of the island.
This will show you how the areas will be organized in my map.

He didn't mean literally how it works, just how putting it together is coming along. :/

Or you could be reading into it too much.

I doubt you'd say the same thing if he said something like "my new HP Laptop."

I don't really recommend you to continue with this project. There are going to be couple possibilities and it's up to you.

A. The maps will be bad, nobody likes them, waste of time.

B. You actually take a lot of your time to finish this with care. I doubt it.

C. You will ragequit on some point and you have made big work and then it's nothing. I'd just re-design the map(s) and release it as one.

D. You gather some kind of team to help you at custom content. To be honest, HL2 props are bad. If you really want to make a good city map, it needs custom content. And your map looks huge. I doubt this option too.

"It's time to choose."

I am going to take a lot of time to work on this project. The city is going to look large, me and tehhank are working on this project together and we are trying to use our time to make this city. I am going to use custom content and possibly create my own props. I already now know how to create custom textures. I'm currently remaking zs_trainterminal from start to finish. I'm also remaking zs_yctransit and I'm trying to do whatever it takes to make the best out of it. I'm taking my time as possible right now. I already made some map plans on graph paper and I know what I'm going to build. During school, I've been making map plans on graph paper during my free time.  I have dedicated not to give up on this project. Its not going to be easy and there are some challenges but the project will still be continued til the finish.

Actually, its not going to be one huge map, its going to be separate maps that resembles one area of the city: (eg: zs_yctransit, resembles only one part of the subway)

Yeah, when I made the map for the city, I had the GTA SA map in mind.

I'm about to release another map at some point this week but I might not go on Source SDK as much this week.Sorry for lying about that, I still had problems in the map, I'll release trainterminal when I'm done(I'll probably release it at some point in July) and the servers come back.

Looking at the picture you provided, a few suggestions:

Add at least a small gap between the bridge ramp and the buildings next to it, the gap should probably end in a wall or some-such, it's just a building would never share a wall with a highway.

I'd also recommend extending out the ramp leading up to the bridge, since it looks quite steep. If you want to get fancy with it, you could have a small side road on each side of the ramp with an underpass connecting them beneath the ramp.

But looking cool so far!
