Have you considered making a tower climb? =) i know its been done in Darkness but a large tower that causes falling damage is always fun I remmber my best LR ever was doing a deagle toss ontop of a tower so yeah I would love u if u put that in =)

I still have a quite large area left outside, maybe I'll turn that into an outside climb.. hmm..

I added a sandbox, it's probably the coolest sandbox compared to any jail map currently on the server. NO SPOILERS!! You'll have to wait and see if/when the map gets put on the server :D

Also, I never figured out how to stop fall damage in my indoor climb WHILE keeping it from letting the players jump around the area on top of the water.. any ideas?


And another question... How do you get text to appear? Like the map says something? I know a few maps on the server have it but I can't figure it out, all my attempts FAIL and nothing shows up :'(

For the outside pool, maybe you could make it epicly deep? And a catwalk around the outside that only cts could access from the armory, and the cat walk would be super high up with some awps on it.
Just an idea :P
 
BAD NEWS!!

I don't know wth happened, I compiled to test something which didn't end up working and now Hammer CAN NOT open my map.. Gets to 5% on load and gives me a "reference to memory cannot be read" error or some other bull.. :(

Good thing Hammer made a backup.. I almost died inside..

The Deep End of the pool is pretty deep, if you stay at the very bottom of this end for several seconds you will start taking damage on your way up :)

I'm gonna add some diving boards to that side too, hopefully they will turn out nicely.


And catwalks are a no go, I've already finished the layout and catwalks are not included sorry :P

Still need more suggestions for the large open area in the pool/s4s/sandbox outside area. If no one has a better suggestion I will just turn it into an insanely long climb area

Used the large area to make a Hedge Maze (sorry Swat, didn't feel like spending a whole day to make sure the climb was possible)

Map is pretty much done now, just need to fix a few bugs and spend a couple days compiling the final -_-

Who do I talk to to get it up on the jail server when it's done?

If you mean to type something in chat, you use a point_servercommand and a logic_auto. As for the outputs, I'm not on my main computer right now. I will add the outputs when I get back from school.
 
On Map Spawn

<point_server commands>

<Cant remember this output>

Paramter - <insert text here>

Delay - <Whatever you want it to be>

I had logic out:
OnMapSpawn
input: Command (it's either Command or AddOutput, the rest is FireUser1/kill/etc)
parameter: say "text here"
delay: 0.00

and nothing showed up(even read the log in case I missed it), then (if you read above) I couldn't get back into the vmf and had to load the backup which didn't have it so I just left it out. any ideas?

Quote from source sdk wiki:
An entity that issues commands to the server console. It's used by simply placing it in a map and triggering the Command input, the parameter override should be the exact console command to run.

This entity can corrupt the vmf file if used improperly. If your map crashes when you open it, this could be the problem. Open the vmf file in notepad and press Ctrl+F. Search for command and remove that line.

No problems with my phys_pushscale command to make the soccer ball more fun, not sure what parameter to use for text though..

You should put a delay of 10 secs or more. Also, its Command, not AddOutput.
 
As for the other kind of text (the ones you see of buttons), thats a custom texture.

Here are 2 tutorials that I used.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbEGj8kCLx4&feature=channel_page"]Custom Textures Part 1[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCwLLcyp_ZA&feature=channel"]Custom Textures Part 2[/ame]
 
tutorials help if you don't know how to do a certain thing, then doing it enforces the teachings :D

P.S. I was talking about chat text pickles, no problems with custom textures here :)

edit:

Okay, text isn't showing up..

logic_auto:
OnMapSpawn, Command, say "Map by: =(e)=™ 3vlNomad", 12.00
OnMapSpawn, Command, say "Visit us @ EdgeGamers.org", 12.01
OnMapSpawn, Command, say "Cells open automatically", 12.02

^got nothing in game

Hmmm,

Add me to your friends list, I will see what I can do to help... (Click me signature)
 
Okay, now I feel stupid. Removed the quotes around the text on the say command and it works now, had to increase interval between the messages by 1s for all of them to show up.. One problem, it is ME that is saying it.. I'm guessing because I am playing by myself? It will probably say "(ALL) Admin: text stuff here" on the server right?
 
Oh yeah, you should always have at least a 0.5 second delay if you are going to use delays.
 
KK thanks for helping me clear that up guys.

0.5s wouldn't work when "I" was saying it, does the server allow for 0.5s intervals? Or should I stay safe and keep it at 1s?
