I recently re-installed windows, which allowed me to start playing gmod again, which allowed me to start playing RP servers again, and DAMN have things improved, but it's all the same old maps, which made me think, why not revisit the idea of making my own map, and I'm coming to you to help me design this map. I'm a little rusty at using hammer editor, but I'm quickly getting used to it again.
So far what I plan on making are:
- Slum apartment. 4 units
- condos. 3 units
- 2 ghetto houses
- 2 nice houses
- 3 town houses
- 2 HUGE houses on two hills
- police station
- hospitol
- a few stores
- a gas station
Any more suggestions?
The things we need now are:
- basic map
- building designs
- 'secret' places
- ??? you decide
Also, could a mod please sticky this? I'll be working on this daily, and will upload an alpha once it's 'playable'.

Fixed
Also, what is this? I have no idea what you're talking about... got any screenshots?
When I start working on that building I'll get a nice graphic for the sign.
Yeah, I didn't really think of that. Maybe a general civil defense building?
Right now I'm working on the slummy apartments. 4 stories, one apartment per story, and I'm thinking of calling them 'zoklet'
As for ideas... I'm pretty fresh out I'll come back to this thread a little later
I'm still kind of re-learning hammer editor, but I'm almost done outlining the ghetto apartments. They will be structurally different than any other building because I took the grid down all the way without thinking about the fact doors will be thicker, and the windows will be just as thin as the walls. I figure paper thin walls in a ghetto apartment building aren't the worst thing that could happen.
I may have an alpha, or even what could be considered a beta out by the end of the week if I can get a basic layout of the town established by the end of today.
No? How is that realistic? You can break windows, and maybe I can re-explore my idea of a COMPLETELY destroyable house, but that'll be it.
Well, the maps are cross compatible, so you COULD play CS:S, HL2:DM, or Garry's Mod with this map.
UPDATE: I haven't had a lot of time to work on it, but I'll try to have something to show soon.
Fuck it, sounds cool anyway.
I had gotten basically done with the ghetto apartments when I realized shit wasn't aligning the way I thought it should, so I have to make time to either go back over it, or start from scratch knowing the things I should have known before:facepalm:
Places I think should be made:
Totsean Park with a statue of Jeff Hunter in the middle and enough trees so people have cover.
A Wal-Mart called Fail-Mart that you can go into each section and use random items as weapons and shit.
Then we could enter you in this bro.
