Pufulet Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 A map that I was working on yesterday and this morning! And its not laggy! I cant believe it http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=121418''GutterAn enclosed map with lots of space for combat. The map is based inside a building that seems to be some form of sewege containment. It is a stormy night and it is raining inside the building, you can hear in the distance battle going on, clouded by the thunder.This map is not laggy, and I promise that, as most of my maps are. This map took me under 4 hours to make, which I'm very proud of and I hope other people will enjoy it. '' Quote

Doubleedge Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 It looks good for a 4 hour worked on map, just needs some minor improvements and I'm sure it will be a good map. Quote

It'll only damage your "reputation". Quote
Mr. Darkness Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Since I joined zs yesterday, I left a bad opinion about its maps: some of them are really much alike to gm_flatgrassSrsly, thats not a zs map, where you run in a veeeery large space and shoot zombies from every corner.Pufu, I was joking about zs_construct that day... But sereously, some "new" maps suck balls. They are unbalanced and not fun (for me).Also, personal note to Pufulet: If you release maps such as theese, you will do worser maps further. - Big dull design- Random prop placement- Poor lightning on the environment and props- Zombies can be shot from all directions (poor gameplay and unbalanced)- Long dull walks to get from A to B- Very dark and unlit environments; this doesn't make it unsettling it'll just make it look unrealistic and boring.That sums up about Half the ZS maps.That was what I am talking about. I mean, It became like that. And you dont want it to be like that. Edited May 21, 2011 by Mr. Darkness Quote

It's hard to notice when you're running away from zombies etc. It's like saying male pornstars have to be pretty-boys. Quote

We need less of these ugly Dull maps, They Should Be Detailed, It seems that Stelk is the only good Map Maker For ZS. Quote
BouweV Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I like it, as someone who never plays ZS.(I felt like you could have some nice words in this topic, Pufulet) Quote

We need less of these ugly Dull maps, They Should Be Detailed, It seems that Stelk is the only good Map Maker For ZS.Making maps for zs is actually quite hard. All the old maps like zs_jail / zs_uglyfort and so on are never gonna be made again. Nowadays people will make maps that seem more detailed but will probably fail. The main atmosphere in zs should be night, and a good feel of zombie apocalypse. But people seem to think that because a map is all dark its dull. If you have a full on lit map thats all lovely and bright, is that still zs? Its a zombie apocalypse, who is running all the power and that? Hardly anyone maps for zs now, and I havent seen stelk make a map in ages.Stelk isnt the only good mapper for zs, there are others like alexg and modestyiswimpy, but Im not totally sure about him. And what about me? Im trying hard to get the server some fresh new maps, and trying to make them better and better for each map I make, except this one because It was just a form of test. I would honestly like to see you guys try to make some zs maps, like at that contest where 95% of the people gave up for good reasons I guess, and some of those unfinished maps did look quite good.All im saying is that making a good zs map takes lots of time and thinking to how it will all go, and atmosphere is a big part of zs.
