So, I was browsing the internet, and came across this picture. The one on the top is my friend I knew IRL at one point, the the one below is the picture I found.

Mapping / zs_hallway_defense
« on: March 04, 2010, 02:49:03 AM »
  Hi there.

  I don't usually start a map thread before I'm halfway through with the map, but this being my first ZS map, I want it to be as good as possible. I really want to make a map that people enjoy and vote for regularly.  As such, I've decided to instead post a layout designed in paint (note: I used paint. it's not proportionatley exact, work with me here).

 With this layout, I hope to gain your input and suggestions before I even look at Hammer. I understand everybody has different tastes and desires as to what should be in a ZS map, so I won't add the one-time-entry room with a window nobody can get through 20 feet in the air with a box of grenades below it. That would be nice, though. Even if it's adding an entire level to the damn thing, I'd still like to hear it.

  This map will eventually be put into production regardless of whether anyone has responded or not, but if you see something that looks shitty - please tell me :)

So, anyways, here is the layout as I've imagined it so far, based on a single, long hallway inside of a building.

Layout: 15%
Texturing: 10%
Lighting: 10%
Scripting: 10%
Models: not sure how many will be released in the final version, currently have: 2
Sounds: 35%
Detail: 0%

Overall: 5% (estimation)

I'm not a texture genius, so if anybody wants to help out with the texturing I'd be happy to put them in the map. They need not be dirty, just futuristic. I'm hoping to use 100% custom textures for a unique look.

Approved Respected Apps / Retroactive: The Application

Hi there.

  I am Retroactive. I just got back to the Gmod scene a month or two ago, and immediately found your ZS server because of the good ping and high player count. Up until now, I didn't realize RND had a website! So, after spending so much time on the server, I think ít's my new permanent favorite and have decided to apply for respected just in case any mingebags decide to show up.

 Now, about me. I live in Deming, New Mexico, just 10 miles from the border to Mexico (in the US). I'm getting ready to go to college and plan to major in software engineering. I enjoy spending days at the computer modeling, texturing, mapping, and watching the random videos on YouTube. Currently I'm helping Lap with his gamemode, Dark Skies. I'll put a link to it and some other cool things at the end of the post. This, being the second gamemode I've worked on (the first being Lap's WarMelons:RTS as a mapper), has been entered into the Fretta contest in hopes of winning the prize! :D

 As for real life, well, I don't get out much and prefer it that way. Living in the desert, there is alot of dirt everywhere that I don't enjoy. Anyways, onto the other stuff.
