So I love all the suggestions and bug reports I'm getting soooooo much that I'm making this thread dedicated to the development of the update of rp_pray. I have no idea when this shit will be done.

Clearly, theres a lot of annoying shit that could be fixed. Death bug in bank/pd, those scanners are getting removed, helicopter crashes server, youhavechosenorbeenchosen, and idk im sure theres more.

You guys can post suggestions here too if you want but there's already a thread.

Other people have talked to me about wanting to add their own apartments and spaces to the map. This is the place to post the vmf of apartments/plazas to have them added to the master vmf.

I'll accept most anything (after a lil tinkerin by me)

Heres the current final of rp_pray: mediafire.com/?tt3g2sx1komge9c

So I've started working on a new map that's completely unrelated to pray.

I'm going through the Half-Life 2 Beta's City 17 and filling it in with actual apartments and shops.

This is gunna get done pretty quickly, as most of the work is already completed. I'll hopefully be able to include some interesting Beta NPC entity work.
The map will use all of the beta models and textures, and I'm gunna make sure to use them when I build new structures eg. The PD.

Heres a top-down view:

I've already finished 3 buildings, I'm going to do them individually and pray they make sense together.

Up close screenshots keep telling me errors. I'll add some later.

If anyone is willing to help me lol just say so. Lucifer offered to help but hes a kangeroo fucker

If I find a spot for some water ill include it lol, same issue as the last one. Plus fishing eats probably 800 edicts just by existing

Edit: I've changed the title of the map to Terminal, as it was named e3_terminal in Missing Information. A building also has a "Terminal Hotel" sign.

I created a working Combine Guard to patrol Terminal.

I had this idea when I remembered about the model pathing glitch that Npc_combine_s has.

Sure enough, simply repathing the model for combine_s as a Combine Guard works perfectly. All the animations are correctly bound, so It performs walking, running, melee, and shooting flawlessly.

Teasers:

Idle



Running


Melee




I might be able to get a Cremator to work as well, but the model I have only has player model animations.

Heres my current progress. 8/13 major buildings.



I need suggestions on where to place the PD and the banks.

Heres a pic of a Beta Stalker with correct animations. Only issue is you can still see the stun stick its attempting to wield, anyone know how to make weapons invisible?


As long as a model has animations, we can make any custom NPC we feel like.
Here's a working combine elite synth. In HL2DM.

Bored of making geometry so I started fucking around with ents.

Made some combine shit that attaches to you and dissolves you after 10 seconds. Maybe its a PD defense, maybe I could turn it into cop armor.


Heres some bullshit. I was thinking of making "rebel armor" that you could acquire somehow, but its "fueled" by a tank attached to you somewhere that can explode.


Im still workin on a controllable combine mech. It can move all directions and fly, but the weapons don't fire anything yet. The weapons follow your eye movement though.


How about some suggestions?

Just put a version with finished brushwork and lighting on the test server. Take a look around. Judge my lighting and spot some fuck ups.
