Description
"NO RUNNING IN THE LOBBY!" ~ Marion "The Wall" Moseby

===== Map Introduction and Origin =====

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody was a spectacular Disney show. Mayhaps my favorite. And the original series' setting, the Tipton Hotel located in Boston, Massachusetts, is iconic through that. A five-star hotel that's been in the branches for a hundred years or so! So why don't we stay for a few days…?

===== Map Details Summary =====

TSLOZAC is just such a nostalgic show and an integral part of my childhood. So I decided to recreate the Boston Tipton! A very vintage-looking stone-and-wood construction. And so big that I had to make the exterior of the building separately. More on that later.

Also, I'm trying a different release format for this map--I will be updating it as rooms are finished. This first version only includes the lobby and some side areas, and future updates will add more areas from the original show. See the lists below for more details.

Map features included:
[UPDATE 0: Grand Opening]
- This is a modular map, meaning that most rooms will not have euclidian connections to each other--teleport zones will be used instead.
- Includes the Lobby, the Manager's Office, and a Changing Room based on the Nintendo DS game "Tipton Trouble" (I will not be needing any money back from Cole, though)
- The elevators open, but presently will not take you anywhere
- The bell on the check-in desk rings! Modeled after a call bell I have IRL as a keepsake
- The chandeliers can swing! Is this an advertisable feature?! I don't know!
- The entrance door carousel has physics! You can push it!
- There is a limited exterior outside the front doors in the main map, based on how it appears in the show
- There is a changing room on the fourth wall of the lobby, based on the DS title "Tipton Trouble"; it features a toggleable mirror and curtained walls with color options! Just turn the valves
- The doors to the changing room may refuse to close--attack the handles with a weapon to force them shut
- A secret room is present; its method of access is strangely familiar…
- A separate exterior version is available for exterior shots, based on the Tipton's "IRL location" in Boston (This version has a secret room too)

I plan to make at least a few more rooms, but if there's a particular room you want to see added next, slip me a small tip via my Ko-Fi link at the bottom of the description to submit your request! Below is a list of the remaining rooms with planned contingencies, and their priority order of construction:

ROOM | DIFFICULTY | PRIORITY | EPISODE REFERENCE
-----
Hotel Restaurant / Patio | 4/10 | 3/5 | S1E16 "Big Hair & Baseball", S2E4 "Heck's Kitchen"
Hotel Kitchen | 2/10 | 2/5 | S2E4 "Heck's Kitchen"
Lounge / Ballroom | 5/10 | 4/5 | Many episodes

The following list contains rooms known to exist but I have made no pre-planned contingencies for them;

Basement / Laundry / Arwin's Office | 5/10 | 2/5 | Many episodes
Generic Suite | 2/10 | 1/5 | A few episodes, S2E18 "Have a Nice Trip" notable example
Honeymoon Suite | 4/10 | 1/5 | S1E12 "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Hotel"
Ambassador Suite | 3/10 | 1/5 | S1E3 "Maddie Checks In", S2 "Odd Couples"
Suite 613 (the haunted one) | 8/10 | 1/5 | S1E19 "The Ghost of Suite 613"
Suite 2330 (Martin family's suite) | 8/10 | 1/5 | Many episodes
Suite 2500 / Penthouse (London's suite) | 9/10 | 1/5 | Many episodes
Rooftop(?) Pool | 4/10 | 1/5 | S1E1 "Hotel Hangout"
Daycare | 6/10 | 0/5 | S2E3 "Day Care"
Yoga class room | 3/10 | 0/5 | S2E3 "Day Care"
Restroom | 2/10 | 0/5 | S2E16 "Going for the Gold"
Hallways | 1/10 | 1/5 | Several episodes [Note: Suites will have hallways sections outside]

Here's a small signing bonus; if you donate to have a particular room done, I will put your name in the map! Probably in the lobby or summat.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay at the Tipton! And remember: No running in the lobby.

===== IMPORTANT NOTICE =====

I know there are some of y'all out there still waiting on me to complete things for you. Don't worry, I haven't forgot about you either, I keep a list that reminds me of the impending ticking clock constantly hovering over my shoulder from that. I've been working on your stuff as well alongside this.

But this map was something I could get in a finished state for y'all in the meantime, something good to bite your teeth into while I work on your other things behind the scenes. I would've liked to have gotten this one out before 2024 ended, just to be cool, but 'twas not to be, I suppose. Still, January 2025 isn't that bad in comparison as a timeframe.

So, for those of you waiting on orders, yes, your stuff is still in the works and incoming as well. Keep hope, and may we actually reach more completion in the near future. Go team! See you in a $timeunit, if, you're not, ah, inactive. ~ ALLOS / Sketch M.

===== Support me, maybe? =====

Like the candy counter staff, I appreciate every tip sent my way. So why not fund my next purchase of a candy bar and buy me a cuppa on Ko-Fi? [ko-fi.com] (You could also donate more, but that's up to you)

It's been a while and I still have a lot to keep track of, but I still remember you enough.
Still trying to catch up with everything.

I gotta admit, a gmod map based off the locations from the show "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" was something I didn't expect! One of the many popular Disney Channel TV shows out there, especially during the early 2000's! Splendid work!

(Yep! It's me, DanukI! How you been, Sketch?)

If I'm commissioned to.

Can you make another Job Simulator map?

Do you have even the remotest idea how astronomical of an ask that is? I'm just one dude here trying to catch up on a lot of work already, and you want me to model a modern cruise ship. Ain't gonna fly.

Can you put the entire S.S Tipton in the rooftop pool please? (just like it is in my head cannon, I mean the show)

awesome map

I'm only familiar with the song.
And, making a boss fight map is a lot of work.

For one, without knowing how to script, trying to convert an RPG-style battle into a Source-compatible format is very difficult. Attacks have to be converted into impromptu obstacle courses, and your only real attacks are "shoot gun" or "run up close and melee"; as well, going from the top-down RPG perspective to first-person affects a lot as well.

It's not out of the question that y'all will receive another boss battle map from me, you'll just have to wait to see what it'll be.
