Thanks for your elaborate and insightful comment, it has been of invaluable contribution to this civil suggestion.

I do think having more enterable buildings will be a good idea. If there are more enterable buildings (if possible) then it will give more oppertunities for different things.

While it would be impossible to make all building enterable, visleaves and areaportals could reduce lag, and having buildings like a Police station and car dealership-type building, at least enough to support a vehicle-centric RP environment, that would be pretty awesome. I also suggest tearing out the airstrip, GMod maps are generally too small to support aircraft, at least in any meaningful way. I also suggest maybe adding some volumetric clouds, a la Ironsky. Essentially a bunch of large smoke particles. Makes flying aircraft a lot more immersive.

And before I forget, excellent job! You've managed to make a GMod map that DOESN'T look like a**!

I really do think this would be a great idea, I've had so much fun playing in this map, i just wish there were more enterable buildings for roleplay. It would add another use to this map.
P.S: I love it a lot, defintely one of my favourite maps.

...What do I even say here? I'll give you 24 hours to think about how little that statement applies to this map.

The airstrip is fine; not for actual functionality but for aesthetic value, which is obviously the main focus of this map.

I'm not a mapper myself but I'm aware of the many restraints present when considering additional constructs to a map (especially to one as large as this one). So if possible, more enterable buildings would be a great addition. If Source simply doesn't allow it, then so be it.

I think that having a few specific 'buildings of importance' that are accessible would be ideal; for example, the lighthouse, the Nervin54 supermarket/office building, the train station and so on. I don't expect many people who have quite bad-performing computers to play on these large-scale maps, so people who have capable computers should at least receive minimal FPS drop if a few accessible buildings are added.

That would be awsome

Sakarias88 has an addon called "Air vehicles" which works beautifully with this map. I don't know what all this talk about the airstrip being useless is about. It's pretty much the only place you can take off and land the jets.

Edit: Oh hey, there's also a helipad by the factory at the top of the mountain. It's like he had Sakarias's air vehicles specifically in mind.

Oh, the skybox suffices in terms of size then? In that case the airstrip should most definitely be kept.

If You Did Make All Room Enterble You Could Make A Day Server Out Of It!

I do agree more enterable buildings would make this map even better, especially the lighthouse because lighthouses are awesome, also it would be neat to see an interior for the church, so bottom line keep it up because this map really sets itself apart.

I don't think it would be possible ( Because of tremendous lag), it would probably be another year's of work if he did do it.

there is a map that is probably about the same size or a bit ♥♥♥♥♥♥ than this that has a big underground base, lots of enterable buildings, lots of entities, and more misc stuff and i dont have much if any lag. the map is Rp_Pripyat. I would love to see more enterable buildings :D, also to see what kind of extra bases would look like that are behing the unacsessable doors like the secret base door on the beach hidden inside the rock. If this does go into a RP map, there are LOADS of "shady" places to do black market deals and other "illegal server activities" ^~^

This map is probably one of my to 5ish maps i can come across :D. I dont know why people dont start making huge maps like this? I think the bigger the ma the more fun and the more things are possible to do in the, ^~^. If you do make additions to the map. Seeing a few more enterable buildings (po po station, dealership, a few houses outside the mini city, some interior extensions to the factory base, and good size base hidden in the mountian side on the beach head ^~^) So many possibilities are possible with this map :D, please make more additions to this map, if you do and tell us "hay, im doing some things to this map for you guys" and it takes a long while (like a year or 2 for example) the longer we wait = the more impressed we a re likely to be and the more popular you map will become :D


KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK ON THIS!!!

I can imagine the day this gets enterable buildings the day that HL2RP Outlands servers, LifeRP, ARP/MRP's and other serious servers will have just this map.
