Serious City 8 Redux

[deathwolf]

The newer quarantine zone sign, combine variant.

This won't be opaque ingame, I'll be using a vmt file to make it translucent.


This sign is representative of the new combine signage I'm aiming at producing

amazing

if you're still at it, if you can i'd LOVE to beta test this map.

Few key changes:
- District 1 is now Precinct 2 to keep in line with HL2 lore more closely (ironic ik), but also since I feel Precinct 1 should be where the nexus is.
- New subtransit sign as seen below. Old district decals will be replaced as will all the old city 8 holos, I'm remaking them to be more realistic and using google translated Japanese rather than fake Japanese (it's an improvement).

If anyone has any ideas for what the sign emitters for the new hologram signs should look like please tell me since I don't know what they should look like.

! IMPORTANT UPDATE !
After some consideration I have decided that I will be releasing two versions of City 8 Redux.

When I complete the main city, I will release rp_city8_redux_lite, this will be a smaller map only including the city portion of the map and not the outlands I have planned. I would consider this more of a pre-release but some servers may want a less performance heavy map or just not have outlands at all.

After I release the lite version I will be releasing rp_city8_redux_full which includes all of the map initially planned. Any changes I make to the city during the development of the full map I'll update the lite map with.

I have decided to do this since I know some people want to try the map asap and the outlands will also double the size of the map if not more.

TLDR: Two versions of city 8 redux will be released, first a version with just the city, then a version with both outlands and the city.


? ADDITIONAL NOTES ?
I will also be releasing a few things alongside the map to help with servers and IC interaction around the map, these include a collection of items related to the lore I have devised around city 8 (posters, etc); a map of the city and outland areas (some of which you will see in the city); as well as any other extras I might throw-in. More info on that later.​

Spoiler: New Subway Entrance

Excuse the hideous surroundings but I remade the subway entrance to more closely reflect the Tokyo Subway entrances. Also it allows me to add another hidden back area.

 

[Dev]

began working on the backalleys, there will be lots of areas to duck in to and such so great for combat

damn yall be giving this nebulae before I can edit it because I forgot to add something for the 50th time lmao

 

[Dev]

began working on the ballistrade and thought i'd share, you can see some of the alley in the background too

this is like the rebel hub

(kept the blue theme)
fire car coming soon, I keep promises

 

[Dev]

This is a little different and the link will download the file since there's no place I can upload it easily, but thought I'd share one of the few new custom audios that will appear in a facility in the outlands (full map only as a result).

will the outlands be different to the regular city 8?

 

[Dev]

will the outlands be different to the regular city 8?

yes very, I only call them outlands for the sake of simplicity but really its an urban, suburban and rural wasteland

haha oo any progress on it so far?

Apart from the audio files for that one specific area, no. Im currently focusing on the lite version which is just the main city then I'll work on outlands and release the full version.
