Serious City 8 Redux

how about using HL1/Black mesa xen textures to map out the places with xenian overgrowth wall texture etc. wise?

I do have Black mesa props and textures readily available but it means the content would be considerably larger so there is that to consider, i'll have a look into if there is anything suitable though.

Pretty cool, man, keep it up.

the original doors were pretty trash imo so i replaced some with more detailed combine doors (not all, just the ones for this tunnel since they dont have pedestrian access and are meant to be heavy city limits doors)

update: i tried using xen props and things. it didn't look very good. really i need actual infestation type props not props coming from the dimension itself. just doesn't look right.

In theory you could use them in your map (they're on the workshop after all) and just make a small content pack with them in.

i think the Dark Interval mod on ModDB used some HD xen textures from hl1 in some of its sewer sections, might be worth checking it out

its basically a raising the bar mod & RTB was supposed to have xen infested sewers too

the one currently on the workshop doesn't have like many at all and the ones it does have are a considerably smaller scale than HL2 props. it's weird.

I have all the textures and everything, but they just don't fit in. too brightly coloured and don't look very... infested. I might try a different approach but infested areas use alot of props and take a considerably longer time to do than normal areas so its unlikely.

I'm thinking of incorporating more puzzle elements and such into the map, I've not come across many if any rp maps that still use puzzle elements but sometimes they are really good for RP when you want to get out rather than just run through shitwater tunnel and you escape

part of the abandoned tunnels

It's nearly that time.

@Snowl you suggested this on spalius thread about a joint USE and Terminal office. Would you say the current building is suitable or should I remake it?

I'm ok with it being separate buildings if it means you turn out the map faster than you would adding a two in one building you can do whatever you want tho

i'm not sure how neb usually does it but opposite the RDC is a building, it has offices and a broadcasting room. So really made for both Terminal and USE. I'm just wondering if it's suitable.

Its suitable

"The coast is probably the safest place you could possibly be, a haven for resistance they say!"

"If only you didn't have to go through the old quarantined city wastes to get there - furthest most get is about a quarter of the way. It's a death trap."

 

[Dev]

Its suitable

An issue arose with the building's placement anyway so i'll redo the layout a bit to better suit the factions.

 

[Dev]

animated half life alyx screens.

it is fully animated.

alongside this there is the spinning planet, the JW screen and also another alert screen at areas of high-risk (this screen can be found in HLA at the entrance to the QZ)

I didn't include the citadel construction one for obvious reasons.

 

[Dev]

I decided to bring back some of the TnB signs but I've removed the references to TnB itself.

eg.

 

[Dev]

The new judgment waiver sequence, was kinda a pain to get the timings right but it worked.

EDIT: Made the delay between the pre-JW alarm one second longer, it sounds a lot better.

 

[Riido]

Looking good.
