HL2SP defense map

[Serever]

You and some citizens are stuck on this island (for some reason :S) and the combine decide they dont want you there, so they do what combine are good at
first you'll get shelled with headcrab cannisters, then dropships will drop off containers full of combine, then striders + hunters, and whateva i want to throw at you



should take me a few days

I like the idea, but that building looks bad to me. Why is there a building in the middle of no where? Maybe add a heliport and a crashed copter? Make the building look more believable.

[Serever]

yeh ill chuck a helicopter in then. does anyone know where the bed frame model is?

Remeber the VIP map for CS 1.3 on the oil rig? you should make something similier to that

I think that map was a nice scene for a DM map, it was pretty fluid besides the big lift, but even that had its ups and downs (ha ha ha...)


anyway, the bed frame is "models/props_c17/FurnitureBed001a.mdl"

Really odd to just have a building on an island that you almost can't call an island in the middle of nowhere.

How about adding a small lighthouse ontop of the existing building, to make it a bit more real?

Try adding a ladder on the side too, and a side platoe, or manmade dock for boats to pick up / drop off.

If it's a survival map you can always have it timed and make a boat arrive after X time (You can make it come from the horizon after like 5 minutes, and you'll see it the rest 10-15 minutes until it reaches you ... etc).

Just throwing you some ideas. It sounds like it could be fun

[Serever]

theres a lighthouse sort of thing now. and ive put in the first few waves of nasties

[Jasard]

Sounds fun

[Yoshi]

defense maps are always fun, but not in SP. i hate it when i'm alone with those stupid bots. defense maps in MP, those are fun. to bad it's still quite buggy...

but one day, when it isn't buggy anymore, everyone is defending thereselfs against hordes of snarks!!!

[Deadman]

maybe make the island a bit bigger, with a stairwell to a small dock or something (have the boat arrive there if you decide to put it in)
cuz right now there isn't really a way to get on or off the island

[snufflez]

or off the island

well thats just a stupid thing to say...even a block of concrete could get off the island if it tried hard enough

[AtomicVII]

OMG dude, i was just thinking of doing a defense map a few weeks ago, only problem is that i have no idea how to do it.. but i like the island, not so sure about the building..
if its possible to actually make a defense map, like a starcraft starship troopers kind of thing, let me know! i really want to make one, or see some

doh, now i see how are your going to do it. hopefully i'll find tutorials for that

[DarkMortar]

great idea, the building isnt done right?!?!?

anyway add some tiny is;land cliffs off to the side for senic.

EDIT: WOOT 300th post!

[Jasard]
