slide_avalanche_xtnded

Due to overwhealming requests to make my map "slide_avalanche" longer, I decided to put my de map on hold (still haven't decided a name for it, but it's gonna be awesome) and remake slide. I'm making this thread to keep those who are interested, updated on my progress.

For starters, here's what I am going to be changing in slide:

Making another slide section before the existing one

Putting more falling debris into the glass sections (stuff like soda machines, boulders, maybe even a car)

Making a cannon that will shoot engines at you as you go down the ramp.

Fixing the spawn and bottom textures so they are not purple anymore

more breakable ramp sections (like at the bottom of the original ramp)

adding an anti-afk system, so if an admin isn't around, you aren't screwed at the bottom of the map.

(maybe) adding a secret ramp with my helicopter at the end

Setting phys_pushscale to -2000 (this will make heavy objects fly towards you when you shoot them. Lots of fun)

(maybe) adding env_cubemaps (to make things appear shiny and more detailed) and dynamic lighting (no promises though, it gets hard to light a big space like the one in slide



First update: I have started making slide_avalanche_xtnded, however I have run into a big problem. I accidently saved over the original slide_avalanche with a corrupt file. This bassically means I have to make it from scratch. If I hadn't screwed up like this, I probably could have had it done yesterday, but because of the setback, I think it may take me until next Monday or so. This may actually be a good thing because now I can fix all of my old blunders from when I first started mapping, and make the map more efficient (less laggy and takes up less space on your hard drive). I'll keep posting my progress in this thread.
