Specifications & Requirements for mR Neighborhood

We need to have some common ground to work off of. Here is a short list of things we need:

1 The time of day, lighting, and Skybox

2. When naming entities, use your name as a prefix as to not clash with other maps.

Any other base requirements you can think of post em here!

Because mR is a build server, is there going to be a large park in the map to accommodate this?

How will streets be handled? Street lights, stop signs, fire hydrants, mail boxes, trees, etc?

Will the layout be urban, suburban, city, rural, or a mix of them?

I'd mention birds, but you'd just shoot them out of the sky.

EDIT:

Some of Valve's skies.

Additionally, is it going to be a 3D or 2D skybox and if 3D, what props will be in there? Hills, more buildings, the ocean, etc?

To help guide the skybox choice, what season will the map be in?

How about a map of empty lots like this? then ppl can choose where they would like to live?
I think a gated community would be easier, put up gates around the map so we can add a 3D skybox of woods, buildings, hills, and what not in the background.

Of course, this is a rough of the community. Perhaps putting a huge mR statue in the middle.



How about a night/day map toggle like how freespace used to be.

Need a list of those who are serious about making their home, and maybe a deadline so we're not waiting forever for a map release.
Then once the map is up a second deadline for the late members, and update the map to the server.

I agree, parks, and maybe a pond would be nice?

Empty lots, for visitors to want to build their home in the community? lol




Here's a list from the other thread on those who said they'd be in on this.

I need to learn Hammer quickly, Or find somebody who can do it, I already have my whole home drawn out, LOL TELEPHONE/police box on a street corner, You enter it and it teleports you to a room under the map, *Dosn't need to look like inside of TARDIS, just a room*

Either way ill figure out some way to do this.

But yeah that map layout seems cool. Perhaps some open fields, and THEN the gated community in the center? or somewhere.

As for your idea for open slots for visitor builders, Lol it should be like a Permission only thing. But thats just a idea.

There should be a lake, that would be cool, and I like the idea of Night/day, Perhaps the community should also have a switch in a security room or Mikes room, This switch turns on a big energy field which nobody can enter, (unless they have noclip) Say if we got people building off of or in and we don't want them too. THAT or have a switch in each house, therefor nobody can pass thru.

I'll try to do mine

18 is mine.
I'll work more on it next week. Stressed for time at the moment.

Also, my house is built into the side of a hill. To give you a good image of that, the top floor is the main entrance.
What do?

Working on mine

My house is going to be at the end of the street between 4 and 8

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our...

So who is going to do the main part of the map and take everyones VMF's and ****?
