We'll be moving over on the 20th, the content will be updated mid-week to allow time for everyone to download the map.

It's been (what's felt like) almost five years since I started developing the new version of City 8, originally planned only to be a small edit similar to District Zero, City 8 V4 has branched out to become an expanded and optimised version.

Using (almost) the same footprint as of v2c, new tunnels and buildings, along with reworks of old can be found across the city. A lot of time has been spent working on the most populated areas and optimising them as much as possible.

With the map change, a pharmacy will be opened under Union Medical, supplying basic products - no more going to the clinic for a simple headache or pain.

I've added a basic changelog list

outlands is a useful area for events

It has been downsized a bit, a never-ever used section was removed

I know people have been finding use for it with events, but that's what the admin box(s) will be for!

I think you might have missed some settings in your compile or something - looks a bit weird to me?

New routes throughout the city

Connection between RDC and the dumpster near the car fire

Connection between the two apartments which face each other, don't know their names

Ladder up the dumpster

They're just the city ones

Okay, so I'm not trying to shit on anyone's hard work or anything. But I feel like a lot of the posters inside the map that replace the originals clash stylistically with the map and its setting, so much so that the originals are a better fit in some cases. I'm probably blowing this out of proportion - but if you take a side-by-side in-game you might feel the same way.

I'm trying to not come off as a douche or whatever so let me put some images to illustrate my point

Spoiler: Terminal poster

Spoiler: poster

Spoiler: pro-cop poster over the dingy & shitty tong

My point here is: most of these posters clash visually with the rest of the map, with them either being lifted from another style(i.e, c24) or them being too high fidelity and looking like web panels.

The reason the custom posters in the original work is because they were mostly edited HL2 posters. They meshed perfectly with the rest of the map, these don't in my opinion.

Again, this isn't some hot-button issue that needs to generate huge controversy, nor am I trying to shit on all the people who made these posters. I don't think every poster in the map is 'bad' - these are just the ones I have problems with. namaste
