Map Ideas/Improvements for Kist

xBio · Jan 31st 2017, 12:39pm

Disclaimer : These are just little thoughts I have heard, and collected. You guys should pick and choose what you like best, so Kist can see what people want. Feel free to suggest your own ideas as well!

General Ideas :

A lot of people has said the map feels small, or it feels like an addition to a bigger area. It would be cool to see an expansion of the map, or a whole new area.
More apartments, apparently from what I have heard apartments are filling up fast. When i was browsing starter apartments they were almost all full. Maybe 2 or 3 starter apartments?
Combine Scanners need to go. They blind people and give players who are new to RP something to kill with. The noise is very repetitive as well.

Specific Ideas :
Police Department :

[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…934CEABEDBF935B38773D829/[/spoiler] The outside of the PD looks cool, but the inside is very lacking.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…9B087EAC862CD7B633CE8259/[/spoiler] This is the suit room area, a few people say it needs more generators for suit. For raiding, it feels like a cluster fuck. maybe on the back wall add a new area to the PD? An execution room would be cool.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…FE1B1C68141E9E1A3A435A73/[/spoiler] This is the Jail room, and Police spawn room. It would be cool if this room had an elevator to a higher area of the PD, maybe have a few a camera room inside certain houses?
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…36F2F171A8EAE50298D535FF/[/spoiler] This is the jail cells. This would be awesome to extend this wall, and add like a challenge course to get to the core. You would still need to do the secret to get to the core though.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…A311A5BD89E85BBA62BA60D2/[/spoiler] Love this area, would be cool to make a whole underground area with these, and have like an npc at the end with valuable items to buy.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…F401ACF7A8F8FA3486D3545A/[/spoiler] Maybe add a one way wall to view if rebels enter from this way or a camera for this area.

Civilian Area :

[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…03925FB81E5816F645E7DD46/[/spoiler] The bank is super fucking cool of an idea, but is taking up a shit ton of space, it would be cool to expand the bank and add rooms to it, one of my fav places to afk.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…BDCE459617B0E3C6A25E15A0/[/spoiler] This area looks cool, it does have a bit of wasted potential. Maybe when exiting bank their cool be a monorail system, to take you to your destination, almost like the train in freeman city. Have it control-less and move as fast as 550 Units per second. I would also make the entrance to the sewer an exit, and have it under ground. Make a new slums area where the pipe runs through.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…008D9AAD00B4CEAD7A32F956/[/spoiler] This could be an area to a more country-ish area, a few players said higher priced houses, like mansions would be cool to include.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…C93790ECE3105FC5F0243CDD/[/spoiler] This area is cool af, i would love to see more new housing areas like this.
[spoiler]images.akamai.steamusercontent…9F53DA38CDDBA6B4052E76AB/[/spoiler] This area is also cool, maybe add a combine outpost inside the wall?

That is all i can come up with right now, feel free to put your own suggestions.

those bad boys are how the strider acquires a target. I admit they could probably only come out when the strider is active.

I think my map demands a recompile to some _final_x4 bullshit. The random death bug can be easily fixed, and the combine helicopter is spawning to many gibs and it crashes the server.

We could do an expansion along with the fixes. Eassidez wanted to help with the next version.

More suggestions!

Yeah i would put a limit on the bombs it can spawn, thats majority of the edicts from the copter. Doggys cleaner does a good job of cleaning up after the map but with furniture at about 400 props right now, every edict id counts.

to conserve edicts we really need to fix door - prop linking. it works very well at conserving ent numbers, as always, majority ents are player house furniture

imgur.com/a/AOoUz Map is pretty good, except with some textures and brushes placement. You might not listen, but this would make the map a bit more presentable

It would indeed make it more polished, although I believe that making it suit the player base more by extending the map along with changing a few things would be more important at this time. Although I guess he could do both.
