Basically just something I've been working on every now and then for the past 2 weeks. This is only a small section of the map (just what I have so far), but I'll probably work more on it this weekend (if I feel like it :p). Ideas and suggestions welcome :) Here's a few pics.

(outside area, still needs lots of work. Trying to make a cliffside, may add a couple of boxes outside to camp on, we'll see what happens.)

(outside looking down, yes that's my wallmaze down there, it's not dead yet damnit :D . walls move randomly, it's MUCH smaller, and if lag will be a problem, I can just make the doors open on touch or something. above the maze i plan to make some sort of pipe that leads somewhere else, and above the maze is unbreakable glass, and some water on top of that. If possible I was going to make it a stormy-ish outside.)

(view from the side of the map, the top and bottom sections do not connect in any way yet... I'm working on it :) )

(view from inside lower section, outside of the small wall maze. put a little place to camp above the maze, will need to test out the height and see if any adjustments need to be made.)

That's about it for now, I have to go to work, see you all on the server later to go burn some zombies :gas:

Looks ok so far...maybe if you add a house or two on top, it'd look more interesting...other than that, I can't really say cause it looks really new in development...so, work on it some more!

You make maps? Cool man. I gave it a try and made a few box maps but it was too hard for me.

im def a sucker for special hidden spots, so maybe a disco room/special room, or maybe 2 or 3 hidden teleports to get you to some high up spots.

Did some more work on the top area today. Tomorrow, I'll add some doorways up top and down below, do so more work on the cliffs outside and other random stuff. Here's some screens of what I got done today...

maybe 2 or 3 hidden teleports to get you to some high up spots.

Teleports are basically a one-step guide to ruining your map. They generally mean you weren't creative enough to do it without them. Mappers' Crutch.

It looks neat, but it could definitely use more detail and positions (unless there's like, a whole bunch underneath).

well, if not teleports,im def down for secret walls or doors or keypad to secret doors, jsut secrets that arent easy to find, but are creative too like a secret ledge to a secret wall opening, its not all about teleports for me :cool:

I think maybe 2-3 barricade rooms should be added. I know that you are still working on your map. Just a reminder. =)
A lot of people would hate a certain map because there isn't a barricade room or the phsyics sucked.

Don't worry, I plan to add barricade areas inside later when I work on that part... It'll have to wait a little while though, party tonight :D. And I don't know exactly what type of entities and setting I need to set the vending machines to though (so they work right), don't want them to end up like those in that zm_dustish map :rolleyes:. And don't worry, I have a few secret areas in mind and actually one already on the map :p

did a few more details on the map, mostly outside. Worked a bit on the cliffs, got the approx. sizes for the doorways, and started working on some pipes. (you have no idea how annoying it is to make a "simple" 90 degree angle turn with an octogon shape, and make it look good... just try it... :cry:) Here's 3 updated pics.
