map idea thread

[Guerilla]

hey all well im wondering if you guys wanna compile a list of map ideas you would like to see made for zps from any custom mapper or dev mapper

here are my ideas for maps which might be fun add yours too:

--


Airplane 20,000 feet up with zombies (zombies on a plane) haha

A cave?

Hospital

School

church/mosque/temple


A moving train? thatd be fun


the moon?


alaska/antarctica snow maps

european cities

asian cities

middle east cities towns etc..

cruise ship?

fishing boat

aircraft carrier

Highways (what would YOU do in traffic with 1,000 zombies chasing u?)

i had a moving train in my map (unreleased), but it started to lagg the map like hell so it was never released.
im going to find out why it lagged and see if i can fix it.

[Guerilla]

its easy to make it non laggy, make the train stationary and make the road and the enviroment move not the train, theres some func something that does that, if i remember correctly in HL1 mods ive seen trains move on a small track that animated which gave the ILLUSION that you were moving, im sure source could do the same trick and get away with good fps

i still think we need a new mall map.
With actual details and less open.

agreed. I played a mall map the other day that was so crap..
there was just ammo everywhere and no chance of zombies doing anything.

I could design a mall on paper and post it here for anyone willing to make it?

i dont really like mall of the dead, its just 1 long hallway that lags

malls arent just straight long open rooms they bend and...stuff

anyways if someone made the monroevill mall, that would be cool

or the tunnel system from day of the dead

hell maybe even fiddlers green from land

I would love to see a fairground map. All run down and abandoned with the music from blood (first ones circus map) playing over a speaker.

[Guerilla]

you mean a circus map? that would be killer fun


a forest map would be cool too, so many trees for zombies to hide behind

i am willing.

post a mall with a diagram of everything, doors, vents, lights, and some secrets(i might add some)

i owuld totally do a mall, i have mad writers block, and dont know what to design as a mall.

[Brain Food]

i have started work on a mall map which will be my project after my 2 current maps zps_horror and zps_bloodbath. im going to emulate many of the locations seen in dawn of the dead (original) its going to be an eye candy map probably not to good on fps etc but i dont care. :)

isnt one of those malls in bangkok? i think it is if i remember one with all the esculators

[LunchBox]

ah cool mall from dawn of the dead 70's version. Would it be before the bikers came in or after tho? And also u have to make all the cool rooms n stuff (like the upstairs room where they hide) and the shaft they drop out of to go to the gun shop.

that would be sick.

i have no idea, found em with google ,
since there aint that much pics out from Dawn of the dead mall.
atleast as far i can find em.

[LunchBox]

i can screenshot my way through the movie if you want pictures.
Or i can draw some specs out for it aswell, do u mean the origional Dawn or the new one? Because i can remember both
