I understand Level1 is the main and primary map why people know GTA2. However, I came with idea to abort making Downtown area map for now and switch on to level2: Residental Area
First of all
1) Downtown is nothing but plain buildings with a plain layout and nothing but that. I hate to waste time doing this. Also, Residental Area (and Industrial) has a cyberpunk feeling I want to achieve.
2) Since this mod is mostly for multiplayer fun ( and there is GTA2 for single) Residental map is just a way better for that with it's layout.
3) Somewhow this Area is much easier to make. I messed up first level with a wrong way of mapping, which cause lags ingame.

now this is seems really good detailed also large! and it would be hilarious if you're put one or two easter eggs on this map.

Looking amazing. I think residential area also offers more variety, good choice! And the industrial area also resembles downtown, I think GTA fans won't be disappointed. Some trailers on that ranch area would be very GTA-ish.

Those downtown screenies were lookin so good, it must require some cold blood to drop out such amount of work. Please don't start it all over again, I want to see this finished! :mrgreen:

I'm on the crossroads, not literally.
I probably wouldn't make a post but it bugs me for a week.
Once again I stoped working on a new map, for the same reason as before. Now as I advanced making map it started lag insensibly until I finally noticed it. And that's just about 20% made. :?
Before I completely abandon this project, it would be nice if you guys would help me with these questions: (if somebody knows)

1) Is it technically possible to make some kind of a draw distance fog for zdoom engine? Sandbox games seems to do that to avoid lag.
2) Create 3d floor via ACS command? They are also a problem, and I though it would be reasonable to "create" them, when the player is near 3d floor tag sector, and remove them when he is far from 3d floor.

If there is no solution, here is approximate system requirements for mod: 32 gbram, i7 and so on, you got the idea. I just don't want to waste any more time on something what will not be played, unfortunatelly.

You can't create 3D floors on the fly however you could do an instant raise/lower to hide/show a 3D floor.

the only way to reduce drawn sectors is by using 1-sided lines but then you'd have a noticeable wall in some areas, Unless you build it up to look like skyscrapers or something.

You have to incorporate structures made out of 1-sided lines to reduce the line of sight calculations, otherwise it's just going to be very, very slow. Doom engine limitation.

It might be stupid, but I avoided making 1-sided buildings so hard just for the city to be an exact copy from the game, besides I wanted to let player land anywhere he wants. Wellp, I guess I have no other choice, let's see if "skyscrapers" will work it out.
Ok, it's time to leave this page at the bottom of the Projects section, and wait for a new bump. Let's hope it'll be an awesome one.
Thank you for support!

my brain just went what in the fuck?
how well is this going to run? because ive noticed big maps are a bummer hahaha.
you ever think of running it in sections at a time? or anything like that.
i am so stoked, but my computer is so not good.
how many frames do you get a second on gzdoom?


also, is this going to be first person or is it going to be gta2 on zdoom?

No idea, really. I do everything possible to make it run smooth. Yet, solid hardware would still be nice. [that feeling when you can't run doom engine on a modern pc]

Sorry, no idea, what do you mean :(
cortlong50 wrote:how many frames do you get a second on gzdoom?
It run smooth for me, 60 fps. But it's just 20% done.

cortlong50 wrote:also, is this going to be first person or is it going to be gta2 on zdoom?
There is GTA2 for topview, otherwise it would be ZdoomTheftAuto2 :> Also, this is Zandronum orientated mod. Freeroam cooperative, DM, LMS, CTF(copsvsrobbers), domination, possession, probably AOW2 support, we'll see.
