Okay, I saw interested people in the thread about making maps for source games, and I began planning a map for TF2, based around the CC.

ps post your ideas and shit itt
Sounds complicated as hell.
But also sounds extremely epic.
Also for the void room, you should have 3 exits. The first goes to red, second blue and the third you fall to your death for there isn't anything there yet. Or maybe have the 3rd exit take you to a random level in the building.
Cept you can't see what is on the other side of the doorways.
There should also be a view of Lock Legion Inc. through some of the windows in the building. And in the basement you can see a missile.
A keypad should be placed somewhere in which if you put in the code 28240 the missile blows up Lock Legion Inc.
And yeah.
Instead of doing it in one skycraper, make two smaller skyscrapers with the field between the skyscrapers being the neutral command station
This sounds interesting, so I'd love to be involved with this, but I'd probably never get anything done due to my bad habits involving making things!
I should be in it!
The first floor of the skyscraper should be a lobby and have a giant B statue in the middle of it.
Quote from: oɦʇɐʞdoʇ;1354266The first floor of the skyscraper should be a lobby and have a giant B statue in the middle of it.
well what I designated the first floor is actually the Basement.
and if you read it the Ground Floor is the welcome Lobby.
i agree that there should be two skycrapers instead. with ctf maps both teams should have virtually the same bases, else it's kind of biased

There's 2 exits at the moment,
To the floor Below and the Floor Above, but there is also 2 more entrance only things in the form of vents.
Quote from: FIREMAN;1354222There should also be a view of Lock Legion Inc. through some of the windows in the building.
That would make a really good Skybox actually, you can see LL Inc, and the rest of a huge city.

I preferred your idea about the Anti-Clockfriend missiles so I used that :)

That could work but doesn't really make much sense!

Quote from: arneklok;1354282i agree that there should be two skycrapers instead. with ctf maps both teams should have virtually the same bases, else it's kind of biased
The floors are going to be similar.
I wasn't planning on making the map unbalanced!
Also should have a pit of death in a few places, with piles of locks in them.
A nice feature would be to have a section where you could go outside. Maybe have a ventalation shaft coming up from the underground levels and a fire escape leading to the higher levels. Have part of the ventalation shaft branch off into the gas chamber, except it's the wrong chamber and you get ignited. Have the other end go a level or two up.
The fire escape should have some bits of it that collapse upon walking so if you head the wrong path you'll fall to your death.
Also if you shoot a Peggey you should die.
Another thing to do with the keypad is that if you put in 33008, a UFO will do something nifty and then Meat/SteakClock will do something nifty.
Also if there where the Lock Legion Inc. tower visible from windows or as the opposing building it'll need the goatse radar.

That'd be very cool.
I would much rather it be Fire Escape than Ventilation, but I feel like I am over extending myself, since I've never made a map. LOLOLOL

Yes.

THE SUPER GOASTE BROADCAST SIGNAL DEVICE.
around the void room there should be some buttons and when you push them they do shit, like poor $500 steaks into the room etc.
Quote from: Charlie.;1354302around the void room there should be some buttons and when you push them they do shit, like poor $500 stackes into the room etc.
Have one send 500 duck.fla's into a portal.
And then an angry cow storms through the room, killing everything in its path.
One that summons StrangeClock and then everything goes batshit insane because of his impossible shape.
Maybe have somewhere a teleport which is Frogbag, simply jump in and you land in the void room or something like that.
Also Dwarfinator needs to be in the Peggey room with Tangerine.
EDIT
Also the count down timer should be to the end of the match for the missile.
Rather than making it two skyscrapers, you could just have one team start on the top floor and one start on the bottom floor and the control points are in every other room.
That way each floor is a battlefield, and the teams have both balanced sides.
Elevator would be nice. Also, you made me want to buy Orange Box and XBL just to see this monster.

Have you even read the first post?
It's a CTF map, you are stealing Good/Bad Threads essentially.
and the teams start 2 floors Above or Below their intelligence room.
Look at the names of the floors for more.

There is no custom maps on XBL, Or so I Assume.

Those are cool ideas, I'm thinking one button that fills the room with gas, and slowly drains your health.
a button that closes all the entrances for 30 seconds, so whoever is in there is trapped, and allows Engineers time to build stuff.
Quote from: FIREMAN;1354311Also Dwarfinator needs to be in the Peggey room with Tangerine.
Done.

Thats what I wanted at first.
Quote from: TrickyClock;1354348I would like to support this, although I am batshit with entities.
Also I was thinking more of something like the map MARIO_KART with this CCHQ in the middle of the map.
well I dont play custom maps because they are usually all shit so I have no idea what you are talking about, but hopefully this map will be awesome.
Quote from: Charlie.;1354325There is no custom maps on XBL, Or so I Assume.

Got it.
The problem I see with this is that blue team has the advantage of gravity. Blue team can just jump down steps, while red team has to walk all the way up. Also, you don't want the stairs to be too thin, because that makes too many chokepoints. Also, the close-the-doors-for-thirty-seconds would also be a disaster, because it would make the same effect: too many/too strong chokepoints, and you'd get Sentry-o-rama.
This might be better as an attack/defense map, like gravelpit or dustbowl. I think it would be need to have two towers connected by both an underground tunnel and a parking lot, or perhaps have the two halves of the building separated by a wall, and have the only way to cross between them be at the bottom. It's always important that the sides are even on a CTF map, except for decorations and the middle. If you want to execute your original idea, I think that attack/defense would work better. Red team tries to get up to BitClock's gold room, and blue team tries to defend it.
EDIT: Also, the two buildings might be a good idea, to allow snipers to have some fun. Probably just one sniper deck though, like on the second or third floor or something.
There don't need to be stairwells. The stairway could be a huge stairway that leads up to the next floor kinda like an escalator in a mall, if you know what I mean.
I'll draw it out.
And, while one team may have gravity on their side, the other team could build some sentries to even the odds.

Ah, I guess the element of surprise would be fun.
Plus, a map doesn't really have to be serious to be fun. Look how many servers play Mario Kart.

I had thought about that, and you are totally right about gravity.
I guess a cp_tinclock map is in order.

Nothing wrong with sentrys. As long is there is more than one way up it's fine.
Plus the map doesn't
have to be perfectly balanced for every class as long as it's fun.

ctf_cc2fort =/= good idea.
Quote from: Charlie.;1354396ctf_cc2fort =/= good idea.
Eh, now that I think about it that way, I guess that's actually a pretty shit idea, having two buildings. The idea that you have in the first post should be fine.
Although make sure you add a ton of Clock Crew-related secrets, gags, switches, and doohickeys. Those are always fun. ;)
Guys I am currently doing a quick flat version of the map, things would change, but I have included alot of Stairwells as I think they will make this map fun for Demomen and Pyros to camp, as well as making them fun for people to attack.

That was the original plan, it's not like this map is going to take off and storm the world.
Airpump I just remembered something else, Teleporters would be in use on this map alot to avoid going up stairs and stuff so that would make it even less of a problem

Heres a rubbish basic plan with the entrances and stuff marked.
green dots are intel
purple shapes are Health and Ammo

Brilliant idea.
There was a map simallar to this by the same guy who made that MarioKart map, harbl_hotel I believe. It was a fun map, tons of shitty 4chan meme's though, and it was impossible to play forever because it was small. If you're going to want to make this playable, I'd recommend having tall roofs, and make sure that each floor is big. Large enough to have different routes and all those snazzy effects, but small enough to tell it's still a HQ.

My idea is based on that map. I love it.
I was going to suggest how about making it a PL map so that the clocks (blu) have to arm the anti clockfreind missile launcher whilst the clockfreinds (red) have to defend it?
Maybe it could go vertically and perhaps have lower gravity so you could jump to the payload without rockets?
or perhaps in a spiral?

that would be cool, but I like how it is now!
A point I'd like to make with gravity. Since it's ctf it'll only aid blu in heading towards red but red can make use if it for when they grab the flag.
Also I think all the levels should be about the size of the centre of turbine, if not bigger.
You can then have snipers come in to the picture along with scouts. The stairs creat a good use for demomen, pyros and maybe the engineer.
I think the engineers main use would be the defending of the intel.
Also you should provide some area's that you can only rocket jump/doublejump on. Makes people feel cool and useful.
I think I'll have to try and make a 3d mock up of the map tonight.
Also, you got to add a ton of secret rooms into this somehow. Atomic Bar would be one that comes to mind, while I'm sure there's a ton of other little things.

First point, makes sense. Second point, definitely yes if possible. Third point, I'd love to see snipers peeking around the edge of a giant B and sniping. The B would make great cover all around.

That's almost exactly what I was thinking, a nice wide bunch of stairs, but I was thinking more of one wide staircase in the middle, then halfway up it splits into two narrower staircases that continue going up in the opposite direction, like this:

Skinny stairwells would be a perfect way for engineers and demos to completely demolish the other team with minimal effort by clogging up the entrance so that not even a spy could get through without sap spamming. I can understand camping the intel room, like on 2fort or whatever (and that even has two entrances), but anywhere else, a chokepoint that small would be frustrating for the losing team and way too easy for the winning one. If sentries and demomen are almost single-handedly running the game, that's no good.
So far things sound great, I can't wait to see the map. I don't have many ideas but I think it would be cool to include some other classic Clock Crew characters such as the Pube Muppet or mr artist, etc.
Try adding something on the third floor...some cameos of SBC or someone red (it can be me).
UPDATE:
I've spent today making a 3D version of the map in google sketchup and it's coming along nicely.
I'd like to add the Void Room is now 8 Floors Tall, and 2 Floors Wide.
Shit just got real.

Silence you, I ain´t seen this man so pumped. We are gonna do it, I was just out getting from fresh audio for it.
Also to help I found a tutorial that tells you all the minimum heights and widths you need http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/4923
I'd love to help out with some of the Hammer stuff, but I could never get it to work, even when I tried 4 different tutorial sites.
Skyboxes don't like me :(
But, tell you what.
When you finish the rooms, I'd love to add in the details to the room and whatnot. Like, desks and firehydrants and shit.
Also, there's some website I know of where you can download prefabs for making maps. Lemme try and find it, hold on.
EDIT:: Fuck, can't find the site :(
I´m currently pushing iPod to include a HELVETICA SCENARIO bunker.
Basically it would be like that cool deathmatch map from HL1 where there would be a button in a bunker which would start an alarm. Everyone on the map would then rush to the bunker and would have about a minute to get in before the doors finally shut. Then an atom bomb would drop and kill any player not inside the bunker.
Think that, but with the HELVETICA SCENARIO
That sounds like a hella fun map.
Also I'm confused by what a Helvetica Scenario is. Is it where some Windows font comes and kills everybody or something?
Also, I just got an idea.
On one of the floors should be a door (that you can't open), and above it is a sign that says "Clockcrew Forums", and as you get closer you can hear the song Smell Yo Dick playing.
Also I'ma open up Hammer now and see if I can give it one more crack.
Maybe doing it with TF2 will make it easier, I dunno.

I was trying to build a barn in Hammer, and it was actually going quite well until the damn program crashed and I didn't save the fuckin' file.
:(
So, I'm also kinda good at building the geometry of places and whatnot.
At least, I'm okay at it. I can use the vertex editor somewhat. Nothing extremely complex, though.
EDIT:: Ohshitwait it kept it so I could continue working on it the next time I opened Hammer.
Sweet.
EDIT EDIT:: But it didn't save until after I did all the hard work. Fuck.
How about making it a PL and perhaps try and have it that when BLU gets the bomb (Someone should reskin it to look like a nuke) to the final point the middle would fire and destroy something in the distance?

PEGGEY GET
[flash]http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/1236/peggeyzwe0.swf wdith=320 height=200 wmode=transparent[/flash]
Now all thats left is to unwrap and texture the Peggey. After I'm done with this I'll make the clock's that'll take place on the map.
I can do some logos and graphics for each floor and I came up with an idea last night we should have this picture in a frame on corpsegrinder's desk.

I can get hosting and playtesters if needed!
Quote from: Medic;1355840I can get hosting and playtesters if needed!
I already have that (possibly)
My clan's server is a custom maps server so it'll be pretty easy to coax my clan leader into letting us test there.
starting to get pissy with this peggey, did something wrong with the unwrap along the way and now some of the stripes are providing to be a major pain.
I'm testing this map just so you know.
Anything else needed at this point?I can help.
3d modellers to make some clocks.
we need CLOCKS god-damn
Peggey is done, now I just need to know how to get the model to work in hammer.

I've started a list of custom models to make. Along with how far I've gotten along with said model(modelling, unwrapping and texturing).
So far the list contains Peggey, BitClock, MeatClock, RedClock, BlueClock, GreenClock and B(not sure if I'll have to model that).
Those are based off of the first post, tell me the models you'll need and I'll get to work on them.
Going to start BitClock in a minute.

We need the elders in there somewhere, just for Clock Crew's sake.

Quote from: THE HELVETICA SCENARIO;1355218I´m currently pushing iPod to include a HELVETICA SCENARIO bunker.
Basically it would be like that cool deathmatch map from HL1 where there would be a button in a bunker which would start an alarm. Everyone on the map would then rush to the bunker and would have about a minute to get in before the doors finally shut. Then an atom bomb would drop and kill any player not inside the bunker.
Think that, but with the HELVETICA SCENARIO
Hey, the HL2DM Map RunOff has something like that as well
MAybe I could Help?
I'm not sure how much I could do though...
Finished BitClock

Aight added them to my list. Is Elements still in the gas chamber?
Have we already put down the idea that the gas chamber hurts you when you're inside it?
Also, it'd be pretty rad if we put a control point in there.
But these are just ideas.

Patrick Stewart on Sesame Street
I imagine it would create a better sense of awe if that room was silent. In fact, muffling all the standard sounds in that room would be a really cool effect - if that's possible.
But I haven't heard Patrick Stewart on Sesame Street that might be a more perfect choice.
I have some ideas for Bitler's office.
There is a large server in the corner labeled CC DNS, and if you unplug it then the unopenable door that Topcatyo was talking about turns into an fairly strong black hole until it is reactivated.
Also, his office has a trap mechanism in a phone on his desk that releases an army of noisy wookies in skirts for about fifteen seconds, touching them is instant death.
Oh, and there is a large leaden safe in the corner with a nine-year-old Chinese girl in it. You can figure as to how she is interactive or accessible, but she must be included as Textbook was the only youth Bit was to spare.
Are animations easy enough in hammer? Perhaps make it so that the phone activates the death wookies, and shooting one causes Bit to get up and unplug the DNS. Reactivation shouldn't be on a timer, and the forum door should be in a devastating area.
Alternately you could have a second DNS with a toggle switch in a strategic location to turn it off.

MeatClock is next on the list.
Those are excellent, Fireman!

:hi5:
Yeah, their server is great. I spend most of my time on the server he's talking about. Great fun people, full of custom maps.
Also, I pictured BitClock a bit thinner, and I'm pretty sure that's how the design is, not so much cubish. Great work :thumbs:

There are various simple ways to do that, I'm sure the iPod or someone else is on it.

What do hammers have to do with TF2?
Tremclads job, I'll probably learn how to use it for this though.
Quote from: The Spout;1357291Also, I pictured BitClock a bit thinner, and I'm pretty sure that's how the design is, not so much cubish. Great work :thumbs:
I figured he'd be all cubic like due to me seeing him as 5 2x2 blocks. just that one of the 2x2 blocks would be intersecting another. I wanted to make it that you'd also get the same sillouhette from him in all directions
Also if I wasn't going to have him all cube like he'd probably be wider due to the original .fla. Also the .fla by rupee was all square like except he was slightly wider then he was tall.
QED
BitClock is a bit chubby.

why did you have to be such an annoying shape

pffffttt.
Seen most of that stuff in CSS maps.
Only exception is a trap door.
Also should get back to work on these models.
Even if it does work, I'm sure people will have fun with the 100mb+ map with terrible FPS.

Oh sweet mercy
Fireman your 3D models are beautiful
Is there any progress on the map?..
Hey I just saw this thread. Since you haven't really touched on the issue... How do you plan to have 13 floors and still be massively optimized for multiplayer gameplay? The biggest maps are still very small compared to what you're designing. Hell, even the guys working on GMod Tower are splitting up each floor to a different server.
And if you finish it and need any help with server side stuff (setting up servers, adding plugins/modules), hit me up on Steam.
What's this "Gmod Tower" you speak of?
Quote from: Topcatyo;1369247What's this "Gmod Tower" you speak of?
http://www.gmodtower.org/faqsLooks like I was wrong: their biggest maps will have 4 floors, but that is still a
long way off from 13 floors, and there isn't going to be continuous fighting, which will have to be dealt with in TF2.
