(code name)
-:"ATIX HELI 2":-

Total Time Spent on map to date
80+ hrs I think LOL on and off of course
What is my map about?
To start off, I believe all of you have obviously played my atix_helicopter map in the past. After so many complains and crap, I decided to continue work on it one LAST time. Honestly i'm not even sure why em I still doing this since i don't really play zombiemod anymore. Maybe because this final version will be something completely different from what you are all use to playing, so right now I am looking for motivation to finish it, read on the current map plans below..
Completion Percentage?
75-80%
Current Map Plans/ What I will be doing
I am here for feedback from the community, as I was trying to make this map a surprise but decided not for suggestions:
Features:
same map -_- but extended
at night with a my custom 2d surrounding skybox
Around 15 shops to barricade/camp
Vents in cafe hehe
Easy in and out door shops
Random key code secrete every round
2 Ladders for the platform
Additional climbing boxes for platform
Sewers leading to a boat escape
New helicopter model for escape
Below bridge subway train escape
Garage dotd truck for escape
Tsunami massive water wave
Rising water for survival camp round
Street air strike for survival camp round
Death gas for survival camp round
Admin Balcony for triggered chaos
Oh and some extra cool/weird secrets
( Every round will be randomly selected for an escape style or catastrophe)
Overall i think this should set the standards in how a barricade/escape map should be, and that's why i will be releasing the vmf upon final release.. So i know you guys will be playing this map a lot, and so I ask you all: What do you want to see in it (feature/camp shop/suggestion) since you wil be playing this over 9,000 times haha

Does indeed, excited to see what it turns out as :) And I would love to see the standard in zombie maps of all sort be raised. And since you're releasing the vmf they can even see exactly how you made it. Good show.

ha thanks everyone for the positivism heh but trow me some suggestions, what the hell do you wanna see in this map, (It's not a complete different map, it's just an update version of my past map with a few fixes) I just want to get this project out of the way so I can continue working on a zombie mod for crysis

*EDIT I Uploaded some screenshots*

It looks like you forgot to buildcubemaps/mat_reloadallmaterials for the screenshot. Looks good though.
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID DIEING UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY ESCAPED. This includes secrets. Secrets are fine as long as knowing the secret doesn't change the gameplay very much if at all. People love including secrets in maps but in all honesty, it is a very easy way to ruin the map if you don't reallllly plan out what the secret will be. Secrets like that nuke room that kills you are fine, because they are funny but don't change gameplay since nobody wants to die. But if a secret can take you somewhere other people can't get to..=no good :)

Make a power cable which is connected into one little shop or something and when you break the powerline thing it will fall and cut that cable and make that building dark :P

Well.. I can't make up my mind now if I should continue working on this map as I don't play zm anymore, so I'm putting it on hold until I try out my friends mod "Situation Outbreak"
if the mod is decent I will convert the map for that mod.. otherwise it stays for zm, but recently my friends got me into garrys mod rp haha:

extremely happy to hear that Atix. what i love most about the original atix_helicopter is that even if the first zombie has a bad start, he always has a chance of making a comeback. other escape maps dont have this quality. some examples: all the shops where a couple humans try to barricade in can easily fail. the main platform has lots of fail jumpers. too many humans in the helicopter will cause them to glitch out further helping the zombies. basically it's the idea that the round is never over till it's over, no fail/boring rounds. im confident you'll make this new map as balanced as the first.

that's my suggestion, hope it helps. post here if you need beta testers. good luck!

Glad to hear your back on track. I have a few suggestions. Try to make the map balanced is proboly the most important. Try to take away some of those cheap secret spots where a human can hold off 30+ zombies. Keep the fun of the map and the originality but also add some new things. What alot of people did not like with the first one is that it wasnt truly an escape map but i think thats what defined your map, the entire map is to hold off and wait for an escort out so keep that in mind. Remeber this is gonna be pretty huge when it comes out so it better be good.

Neji

K my idea, get rid of the place where zombies could gitch, make the chopper bigger, add train escape, and maybe a tornado o.O

But thats off the point...

When you say Beta, do you mean in the Server in the hands of certain admins? Or closed Beta?
