Is that the holodeck?
It makes me sad,
because we won't ever have a holodeck as good as the one you posted.

onleavedontatme · Sat Jun 04, 2016 8:45 pm

Is rotating the holodeck currently possible?

allura · Post by **allura** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 9:01 pm #183826

Kor, rotating the holodeck is fine if you include a custom z level with rotated holodeck floors with your map

wow this is actually getting a lot of progress
go go go allura if you can make this a better map than dreamstation (and it already is looking pretty much better) than we could actually play on it

please actually finish

Really digging the civilian areas, looks like a good map overall, cant wait to see it in rotation

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Fri Sep 16, 2016 2:07 pm #211900

Is every in development tgstation map spontaneously deleting itself or are we being rused by several creators who dont want to map anymore but dont want to admit it

OR IS IT A CONSPERIACY BY OTHER CODEBASES TO PREVENT US HAVING COOL NEW MAPS

WJohnston · Post by **WJohnston** » Fri Sep 16, 2016 8:24 pm #211984

Allura has tried and remade this map like 16 times in completely different versions. It's no wonder that, alongside constantly updating your code and getting rid of old version of maps you no longer want to work on (or CAN work on because of compile/path errors) that the map could end up accidentally getting deleted.

I mean it happened with me. My remake of an away mission I spent 20 hours on is gone without a trace.

Post by **oranges** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 8:22 am #212367

accidentally, or did you just feel like you couldn't finish it to the standard you wanted.

You have to be willing to release something less than perfect or you will never finish

allura · Post by **allura** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 5:11 am #310613

This might leave a bad taste in some of ya'lls mouths, and some others I'm sure will be happy.

I finally finished a map. Not just the structure or the layout, the map is fully functioning and playable. I named it "Linemap," as promised. It's on the goon codebase.

You can view the image of 1.0 here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r91jleclme8a9 ... d.png?dl=0

This map is soon to be playtested on goonstation. If any of ya'll want to play on it then stay tuned.

EDIT: The image is slightly out of date, there's a couple of errors I've fixed. Most importantly, the fucked up APCs are all fixed.

Looks pretty interesting. I can't see anything that particularly stands out in terms of a gimmick for the design, but I kind of like how security is more centralised, could lead to some interesting encounters!

Do you plan to try to get it play-tested or remade here anytime soon?

Remie Richards · Tue Jun 20, 2017 8:19 am

God, how did goon walls get WORSE?

My gimmick was to make departments more centralized, with a big central room that everything branches off from. Security is the only one that doesn't align to that gimmick, but that was because I couldn't make a design that was both nice and compact as well as functional. If security was one central room with the cells inside of it, prisoners who get out of their cell have access to all of the shit on the tables.

As for remaking it on tg; that sounds like a good idea! My only problem is that the gimmick, centralized departments, is a lot harder to recreate on tg. Something I love about mapping on goon isn't that they have more features, but that the features are spread out more evenly across the station. On tg, science has about 60% of the station's toys, so it always has to be a fuckhuge department, and since there's so much, you can't really recreate the plaza I have on Linemap because you're forced to make a long hallway. I do think that engineering and cargo would be easy to recreate, though, and I could probably tinker with medbay and end up getting it to fit with tg code.

Were you the person who made deltastation? If so, you're a great mapper! I love that you documented your creation of the station like I did, and unlike me, actually FINISHED it. My only real gripe was the incredible amount of floor decals and warning stripes, which according to one of my friends were accidentally lost in a code update. If you take any advice from me, please don't readd too many of them.

And since you're a pretty experienced mapper too, maybe you should try hitting me up and you can give me some advice or ideas for if I port the station to tg? Or, at the least, I can create an all new map on tg that's influenced by the mapping process of Linemap.

Thanks for your comment, though. Sorry if this response was way too long in proportion.

Goon still uses the perspectived walls, the walls I used are just another option they have for their RP server's maps. I still prefer the original walls that TG uses and Goon used to use, but I went with the Destiny walls purely because they match with the Destiny airlocks, which I love. The public goon release doesn't include the glass airlocks that goon has now, so it's my only option if I want to use glass airlocks.

I've always really loved the spacewalk areas on goon, so even having just one gets me interested in this map

Yea, I can definitely see where you're coming from with the department content and interest rate, as that definitely does some.. interesting things to proportions and layouts.

I'd totally be up to helping you sometime if you ever want, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my work on Delta!

And yea, I generally make things on games to be more intricate and mixed opposed to a blank colour, which is why there were a lot of different floor tiles and turf_decals.

allura · Post by **allura** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:42 am #311191

Linemap is officially in goon code! Goon runs different maps every now and then, so watch out for Linemap.
