NAME:
ba_jail_waterbase_v1

COMPLETION:
5% (I have the outside ready[Just the base though] the cubemaps and lightning and skybox is ready, now I need everything else :/)

PLANS:
I plan on making a jail underwater with all sorts of stuff (Like disco, and basic jail stuff)
I want to make a elevator to go up to the surface and here will be a playground and other outdoor activities.

IDEAS/HELP:
Post any ideas here and I will give you credit, also I need help. Is it possible to make a place underwater where you can actually go to?And how should I complete this if I do?

I will keep updates and such, dont excpect sreenshots today, but later on this week


Here is what I plan on making it:

 

[pickles]

I'd love to help anyone that needs it. Good job making a layout before you start (which I never do >.>). From the looks of the layout, it looks a little small, but other than that, it looks okay.

I don't suggest putting elevators in though, as they lag and more than often, glitch. If you want to see how much they glitch, go take a look at the original luxuryjail.

 

[redstarfish]

it will be bigger, trust me, I jsut needed a layout to start up with.

I will most likely remove the elevator when I test it out, but it'll probably just lag, so 99% chance I will remove it.

If you want, you can help test. Just ask me if you want to, christy is hosting the server, idk when though.

That actually was not an elevator by the means of a func_tracktrain. Bengley made it a door. Decompile and reflect. Yes thats right a door, dont ask but its a door entity, thats why it glitched a lot. Elevators can glitch but going slow (maybe 66 units/second max) enough theyre fine.

Zombie mod maps use elevators but its zombie mod well escape so different scenario... panic! spam elevator button! why isnt it starting! omg were going to die! zombified!

 

[pickles]

Lol Rogue. Yeah, I guess really as long as the elevator goes slow (or anything that is moving) it should be fine.

Yeah, I'd love to help test.

Looks like a good layout.

But, put the disco on a different floor or far away from the cells. Some CT's usually like to be in disco instead of watching the T's, so it would help that problem out a bit.

Check this map out he did something like what your trying to do but for garysmod. http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=877361

 

[redstarfish]

darn u woody!Lol oh well Im sticking to the underwater theme still.

And shadow ill keep that in mind

 

[MontyPilon]

it seems good but the cellblock area i find is too close to like the medic and stuff? also what if your up on the surface and you need to heal? that would take time to take the elevator down then back up... but you still have a cool idea and im pretty sure that its possible.

EDIT: Redstarfish, i can host a test run for your map probly max players 6-8 tho since it might lag if more people just PM me i can do it anytime, i do it for nyself and Operator.

Im removing the elevator.
I had a few tips from phase and pickles, and I think ill do good.Ill put a heal on top if the stairs are THAT long and you can't walk down XD

as for test runs, Hit me up on steam. Christy is hosting the server and he has a good server to test on. If you want in just tell me on steam, but ill tell you when Its test worthy.

What are you replacing the elevator with?
Are you planning to put a soccer field in?
Will there be vents, or any guns for rebellers to get to outside of the armory?
Any other kinds of death race's or obstacle courses planned?
Will cells be auto or manual?
Are you going to put a back wall for Ts to hide behind in cells?
Oh, and whats on the balcony? Just a place to look at the ocean?

Now for my tips, not just questions:
I would suggest putting a place for 3 ST bombs with a door that can only be opened by CTs. And don't make a hot lava/pro mode switch for climb, since it just seems to make CTs kill the Ts during cold lava and such.

Sorry to question you so much, I've just seen so many maps fail because of not planning out every single thing, and jail especially has this problem.

 

[redstarfish]

What are you replacing the elevator with?---Stairs, one huge staircase
Are you planning to put a soccer field in?---Yes, since you reminded me . And ill put it near the climb or wherever it is.
Will there be vents, or any guns for rebellers to get to outside of the armory?---There will be vents, yes.
Any other kinds of death race's or obstacle courses planned?---Not planned, but I will add more stuff along the way.
Will cells be auto or manual?---Auto, at 5:11
Are you going to put a back wall for Ts to hide behind in cells?---Ofcourse
Oh, and whats on the balcony? Just a place to look at the ocean?---Just a place to look at, decoration.


Thanks for the tips, Ill add the ST, WINNER, and other fun trails.

You didn't have such an easily critiqueable layout like he did... I'll try to find some from your dark screens.

 

[Artinz]

Oh, I see no Couch room! Sweet!

 

[redstarfish]

Alright so here is what's going down:

- The top base of the island is done, now for the water base!
- Yes artinz no couch room, ill keep it that way unless I NEED to put one there
- No railing for cells (except top) so we can try to prevent backing out of our cells.
- There will be no gun in the cells so there willb e no reason to back out of cells!
- Disco will be moved, and I will replace it with hospital
- sorry I can't work on it til sunday, im on vacation!

 

[redstarfish]

OH! and im learning to make a 3d skybox for endless water!And you will be able to swim in some of the water down to the waterbase but I wont make it so you can swim to the cells, so you t's can hide

 

[Bonez]

still sounds awesome the way its going but you should of tested if you where able to do like a couple rooms underwater befor you continue cuz its possible that they can have leaks and such
