Mapping Adventures *edited*

TF2 - OTPlol
So, I've decided that when I make a map that the first one that I'm going to make is actually gonna be a Garry's Mod map. I want to make a TF2 map eventually, but I want to get the hang of the map editor before I start designing maps for actual gameplay. :O

Anywho, what I have in my idea is a roleplaying map for Garry's Mod, and of course it's pretty ambitious because I want it to be awesome... not just one of those maps that you try, say "meh" and then delete when you're done. I want it to be a keeper. Also, I was planning on making it TF2 themed so that it would be fun to do TF2 GMod comics on. I haven't seen any RP maps so far that use TF2's style, so I think it would be neat.

Here's a list of crap that I would love to put in it. Whether or not I'm awesome enough to do so, only time will tell. I was also thinking about calling it Circlejerkington, since I love inside jokes. XD I'm also going to be including this map in my college portfolio if I can.

THE LIST OF DOOM:

-Restaurants (possibly rival RED and BLU restaurants, due to Team Foodplace being an awesome idea.)
-Bathrooms
-Alleys
-Dumpsters/Garbage Cans
-Skyscrapers
-Ponds/Water (Tentaspy and Crabspy have to have places to live too!)
-Wooded Areas on the outskirts
-Office Buildings
-Grocery Store/other stores
-An old farm with a barn on the outskirts (I would love to put some peep-peeps out here, lol)
-Police Station/Jail
-Vehicles (I so want to find a way to make the TF2 vehicles drivable, rather than just props. They're so awesome looking.)
-Train Station with the ability to turn the trains on and off
-An old abandoned mine outside of the city
-Rooftop gardens on some of the buildings
-A Haunted House
-Apartment Buildings (with locks)
-Houses (with locks)
-off/on switches for things
-Factory
-Courthouse
-City Hall
-Park
-Laboratory
-Nightclub/Gay Bar/lol
-Movie Theater
-Rob-able bank
-Sleazy Hotel

Prop Ideas:
-Tables
-Chairs
-Beds

MY SISTER SAID THAT THESE SHOULD BE ADDED:

-Library
-Strip Club
-Liquor Store
-Basketball Court
-Porn Shop

I love my sister. XD

I'm debating if I should try to keep it to the time period of TF2 (1968) or if I should just do whatever the fuck I want. XD It might be hard to stick to a time period, though, so we'll see. I'll probably be posting WIP screenshots here, from the work that I'm gonna be doing on it when I have a computer capable of doing so. This laptop won't be able to handle it.

That sounds so awesome! I would love to have a team fortress style RP map. OOo the possibilities would be endless XD

Yeah, I was shocked that no one has made one already (from what I can see, anyway) because I think it would be amazing. XD I'm gonna hope that I can build myself a desktop or that Doug can help me build one soon so that I can get started. I'll probably have to do a lot of custom stuff (like textures and models and such) for it, but I think it'll be an awesome challenge.

Plus, because the TF2 characters are so much bigger than HL2 character models, I'll probably have to make some basic props like tables and chairs to fit them. :O

yeah, stuff like beds might be a good idea. Heavy can't fit in tiny bed ;__;
