[Request] emp_lobby

Look at this!

Many Puzzleservers for HL2: DM, Obsidian Conflict, GM, ... have a Map-selection-map. A map u load, so players can decide what map should be next to play. Every map on the server is available through that map.Players choose the next map just by smashing in doors or putting something into a basket or killing something, where always door/basket/killshit represents a map.

f. ex. that oc_lobby map I stumbled across yesterday,is a decent and huge hotel lobby and even supports pictures next the doors and displays infotext when u look at one of the doors. And of course an easy to reach random(map)door, NPCs and eastereggs.

For something similar but in Empires we could have a spaceship with different rooms or ...whatever else suits empires.


SHANDY/KEEF/CHRIS/OTHERS BUILD US A LOBBY PLOZ!

 

Only if you hide the escort, district and urban chaos behind a fake wall on the highest level.

 

since the available maps are done via a txt file, one can maybe add randomization.

 

this sounds hilarious

 

This has my support, BUT..... you should have a fake door that says District or somthing, and when it is broken down a BE jeep drives out and runs the people standing infront of the door over.

This should be random, and change places with the real district or whatever its suposed to be.

 

Y U NO VOTE?

 

i can't tell if its awful hilarity or awesome hilarity

 

it needs ts_lobby

 

I loved the Sass lobby in gmod.

 

24/7 district escort money gogo

 

i dont like it. its unfair. theres such a system for sven coop. but the map was huge. it was a spiral map and it was like 20 stories high. lets say u want to play a map at the 20th story.. and u take an elevator or a teleport to get up there. people would already be wacking away or "voting" for a map at the bottom floors, while u are still lookin for the map u want at the 20th floor.

i hope it wont be designed like that.

 

Empires could do with a few more light hearted maps, playing a 3 or 4 hour session can be exhausting depending on the company & if you just run around roffling or generally arsing around everyone (understandably) gets really pissed.

I think its a fun idea, would be cool to have a map where it is just organised chaos and its not all about winning or loosing,

Make it a crazy capture the flag with an over watch for both spawns so you can shoot up people on flags you don't want to play... and give it vehicles and dropships and if rainbow road is there then you need to run scores of 3 phase turbo jeeps through a gauntlet of lvl3 mls to get there!

 

Or just have a map that strips all weapons, all talk is on, and people sit on couches and stuff just chatting. I mean we are already playing ts already, we could just ask eth0 to make it 24/7 for his server.

 

i totally agree. empires need to have some "chill" maps. something even more crazier than rainbowroad/octogons.

im thinking of like 5-10 maps with some kind of crazy story involved in each one and some sort of special crazy object/environmental interaction on the map. or maybe a map where theres lots of booby traps or jumping lol.

its important to encourage these type of map making.. it would increase community activity ^_^.

 

well, even since that was totally not my intention and is OT, you are right.

HL2: DM is only alive because of gimmicky and puzzle maps and
Obsidian conflict is a whole mod dedicated to shitty puzzles and maps by 12yo's.

 

Yes Yes Yessss!

 

If anything A lobby map would be great for late night when people are just sitting in spec chatting. It would be nice to have a map too just screw around maybe have a melee ring, some ramps for jeeps, no ticket limit, no cv, and a pool

 

i like custom joke maps, i just dont want them to go on for more than 10 minutes
