Colony Fall Map: Sunfield, Wyoming, USA.

[prime barn]

Sunfield is a small, middle of nowhere Wyoming town. People around are friendly, though the weather? Not so much. With the recent blizzard, telephone lines and internet, along with roadways leading out of the town, have been down for some time now. The local municipality is clearing the snowdrift as best they can, and the local sheriff's office, the SFSO, are trying to maintain order between the usually peaceful Sunfield residents. Though, the people know it's nothing like the outer rim UA colonies are facing, and they can be thankful for that. They've heard the horror stories, the ones that made it to the media, anyway. But, nothing like that can hurt them here. Right?

a snow-based town set in good old earth, would like some spritework and mapping contributions if possible

Needed (sprites)

• SFSO uniforms

• various signage (Welcome to Sunfield sign, winter whether advisory signs, other businesses, mayoral election posters

• specialized vehicles (sheriff crusiers, local businesses, fire department vehicles, etc)

• whatever else is cool

@thick tide this is that small town map we were talking about in the JRU forum

if you're still interested

[thick tide]

mhm ok

[prime barn]

if you still want to do sprites, we need sheriff uniforms

just think like generic tan and green uniform

maybe a winter coat

[thick tide]

hmm ok

i wonder if theres any lore comparisons for it?

it feels silly to use JUST a normal modern day one..

[prime barn]

i mean im not too versed in aliens lore

who's the guy that's really into the lore?

i think he has adrian shepard as his profile pic

[thick tide]

thats literally the lore head of cm lol

hmm

NSPA is apparently TWE

wonder if CM has one for UA

i'll ping him here to ask

[prime barn]

i think that would just be CMB

[thick tide]

yeh cmb..

[prime barn]

but that doesn't really apply

[thick tide]

@cerulean hearth sorry to bother you but are there any lore bits on actual earth police forces in the UA? also should ask if the map's setting here is passable or if we need to change it a lil bit

[thick tide]

my first thoughts on this ngl are just seeing what the canadians do for winter uniforms or if they do anything at all

[prime barn]

you mean CCAF?

i could check the files rn

yeah they got nothing

the colonists do have a winter coat though

[thick tide]

nah irl ones

is what i mean

prob 80s ones too specifically

[prime barn]

RCMP winter coat

[thick tide]

we could ddo somethin with this hold on

[cerulean hearth]

Well interstellar ones are: CMB, FBI, and USCCG, so presumably there's earth based versions of them as well (along side the UA Colonial Guard) In addition to them there's a few mentions of south american counter terroism units in Aliens Fireteam Elite

[thick tide]

are there any pictures of CMB in the lore? might just start off from there for the uniform and shit

[cerulean hearth]

Alien isolation has some of them, let me get the photos

[thick tide]

thank youu

[cerulean hearth]

You can also have the Sunfield Police Department and Wyoming State Police

[thick tide]

hmm true, i could work on just aliensifying irl wyoming state police

[cerulean hearth]

CMB would make most sense for a court house or whatever it is

given they're US marshals

[thick tide]

oh yeah, any lore tidbits on like, the state of rural america or just rural places in general on earth?

or are they basically the same as irl earth just with some high tech shit sprinkled about

[cerulean hearth]

I don't think it's really talked about much

mainly because the focus of alien is space and such

[thick tide]

a shame but makes sense

guess we'll homebrew it

earth climate is like, normal right?

no crazy global warming?

[cerulean hearth]

Maybe there's a mention of it in the comics or something

i haven't read them but there's an earth xenomorph outbreak in one

[thick tide]

right, i'll look for that later

comics are usually a bit

erm crusty ill say

but might be worth a check

[prime barn]

i mean i doubt the concept of the local police department has changed much

[cerulean hearth]

From what we see in aliens the earth's atmosphere looks alright, probably due to them having terraformers

[thick tide]

yeah, im just wondering if theres been any technological changes to police equipment or farming ones

[thick tide]

oh true, that makes sense

idk we'll just make sure the crops are giga GMO or something

[cerulean hearth]

Bionational

Bionational makes tons of genetically modified food

[thick tide]

hmm good shout

could add tiny mentions of that down the line for flavor

[cerulean hearth]

One thing i'd note about the local police is: I think they'd be a lot more militarised

like you got all sorts of unrest

[thick tide]

oh, which sorts?

i know nothing about earth-based unrest

cept like UA australia thing

[cerulean hearth]

Like this

terrorism seems to be a common concern

[thick tide]

hmm i see

any mentions at all of gun laws on earth?

i know the colonies let you have em but like

[cerulean hearth]

Not really

[thick tide]

hmm

we'll figure somethin out then

@prime barn which gamemodes do you have in mind for this map

[prime barn]

mainly colony fall

[indigo hinge]

slash me looks up at title

[thick tide]

i dont read ok

xenos i assume ye

[indigo hinge]

smh asking questions you aren't going to read answers to

[prime barn]

yuh

reading in 2025 is gay

[thick tide]

whats the idea you have for how they get there

[prime barn]

oh shit it's 2026

i wouldn't know that since i don't read

[prime barn]

crashed weyland transport

[indigo hinge]

"crashed"

[cerulean hearth]

https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Aliens-Defiance/Issue-8?id=99432#13 Here's a moment from one of the more recent comics that i believe is set on earth

page 13

[prime barn]

the megacorporation MUST eliminate small wyoming town

for corporate interests

[indigo hinge]

this is the way

[prime barn]

dark blue - sheriff's office
bright blue - church
yellow - bar
green - general store
bright white - ASRS room (attached to general store) (post office?)
bright red - clinic
brown - mayor's office/administrative office
purple - motel (colonist spawn point)
grey - ?

[cerulean hearth]

Any sort of courthouses that could be used for a justifcation for marshals?

there's a few explanations that could be used for CMBs

[prime barn]

i mean i guess but wouldn't that just be normal US marshals

[cerulean hearth]

Eh same thing really

[prime barn]

i doubt the CMB would be sending out agents to protect a courthouse in buttfuck nowhere

[cerulean hearth]

Wait yeah i didn't realize it's only for federal courts the marshals send people to protect

[prime barn]

welcome sign

[fast flame]

fye alert

https://tenor.com/view/gem-alarm-gem-gemson-gapejak-wholesome-soyjak-gif-27193685

[thick tide]

pretty fire
idk how CM snow works in terms of spriting ngl so i cant quite judge that part til its ingame
all ill say is you can move the sunfield down or keep it up there and scribble like some white pixels on a line to imply a "welcome to" text thats tiny or some other shit

[prime barn]

roger

[prime barn]

church sign

shit i forgot snow

there

[indigo hinge]

should the general store be like a rural dollar general typa thing or like a farmers market

[fast flame]

Ohio respect

[thick tide]

ok this ones a lil crusty icl

its not 3/4 perspective

[prime barn]

honestly i took the sign itself from the RMC LZ signs

this ones a little shitty yeah

i'll redesign it in a second

[prime barn]

also this

vs

[thick tide]

i would reccomend thiss

[thick tide]

this would be awesome but need a lot of unique new sprites

[prime barn]

yeah

[thick tide]

which uh look icl

havent done fruit before

wouldnt be able to do it justice

[prime barn]

i think i'll go with the dollar general

plus there's the whole sterotype about dollar generals being the sole grocery store of backcountry people so i think it fits

[thick tide]

uyuh

[prime barn]

i feel like im missing something on this

[prime barn]

mapping server when

[fast flame]

Been up for weeks

[prime barn]

oh wait im stupid

https://tenor.com/view/those-who-know-mango-mango-mango-mango-trollface-scary-gif-4486823862332184568

[prime barn]

mapping is coming along good

[prime barn]

only the sheriffs office, dollar general, and clinic are left

[thick tide]

any pics?

[thick tide]

and uh on this, gimme the sprite i can fix it up real quick

[prime barn]

yeah let me get in the server

[prime barn]

here

mayor's office

motel

bar

church

errors are placeholders dw

there's some misc buildings but these are the main ones

oh shit i guess i gotta make the crashed WY ship too huh

[fast flame]

Way too many upstream sprites brah

[thick tide]

whats up with the wooden tables on this one guh

[fast flame]

also imo your buildings need to be less geometric

[prime barn]

well i mean most of the aliens shit is space-y

[prime barn]

yeah that looks shit i'll fix it

[prime barn]

wdym

[fast flame]

too square

[prime barn]

fack i'll fix it

[fast flame]

it's about palette and sprite size

example

it just looks off

we need a wooden door though

I agree

[prime barn]

yeah it looks off

idk

i didn't think a 2100s airlock would be appropriate in a traditional american church

[prime barn]

well shit

i don't know how to code animated objects

[thick tide]

ehrmm idk ask @twin plank

[twin plank]

I can port it.

[thick tide]

ill look into more doors

[prime barn]

improvements

i kept the mayor's office as it is because i feel like it kinda fits with traditional "local government building" architecture + it made the offices look weird

[fast flame]

motel is ugly as shit

pod hotel

church will be good if you buff out lobby

extend the counter in the bar to the north wall

[indigo hinge]

0.5 ⭐ hotel

[twin plank]

I’d suggest looking at some of the layouts from buildings on CM maps. Your buildings have weirdly large rooms and weird tile/wall palettes.

[prime barn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202734573247795303/1308945922604142705/9b2wrh.gif

idk wtf i was doing with the motel

[prime barn]

in width or length?

[prime barn]

i think the issue is i'm trying to balance making this look futuristic but also not like a colony

which isnt really working out

and also i've never done cf mapping before

if i could get some mappers to help out that would be awesome

[fast flame]

furniture

benches

trashcan

[prime barn]

oh like that

[thick tide]

tldr look at hybrisa

[prime barn]

this better?

[fast flame]

Ehhh

Needs work

[prime barn]

on..?

i agree but can you give specifics

[twin plank]

Its a good start, but a few things:

The rooms feel very small and empty. You might wanna expand the building back slightly and add a small bathroom and such, plus add some basic unique detailing to each room so they aren't copy paste, I suggest you look at hybrisia apartments for reference.

You could add a larger dettached or attached office building for checking in and such so its less of a tiny compact rectangle.

Don't use wizden assets/base SS14 assets. Those folding chairs and fences need to be replaced with the RMC/AU variants.

The console in the bottom room can't face north like that, its a single direction sprite.

Also I suggest looking at the Hybrisia or Shivas tileset, the one you have now dosen't fit very well.

[fast flame]

Anyway motel manager would be a fun map specific job

[prime barn]

will work on these things tonight boss 🫡

[prime barn]

that it would

[prime barn]

@twin plank

[fast flame]

this is MUCH better

your building is still a little weirdly shaped but overall it's not bad

[prime barn]

phew

also is this what you wanted evergreen?

with the bar?

[fast flame]

also thta is a wizden ice texture

so a few things

too many fridges

tables are too even

and the buildign is to obig

[prime barn]

it's the only ice texture that actually applies slip

[fast flame]

Okay, i'll code another one for you

[prime barn]

thank you

[fast flame]

my best advice for the bar is to just shrink it

[prime barn]

sounds good

[fast flame]

there's just way too much space

but overall you're really improving

also, windows

[prime barn]

is this what you want the dimensions to be?

[prime barn]

thanks man

[fast flame]

you just kind of have to figure it out

sorry I know that doesn't help a ton

[prime barn]

i'll get it dw

[fast flame]

but you have to learn to get a feel

also 1x1 tables usually look like shit imo

try 2x2

[prime barn]

horizontal or verical?

i'll work on this in a bit i heard we just made cyberstan

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-salute-gif-8108032990738097175

[thick tide]

fyi we should have this table?

i feel like you ought to just turn the fridges into a full on storage room then use CM racks and put meat and stuff along with boxes in it while you just move the fridge to the red box

[thick tide]

this is also hella fire now ngl
front of the motel needs still alittle something something, any dead potted plants you could put in there or smth?
for the swimming pool i feel like add maybe a stack of folded chairs and stuff like that

and of course used needles in the bathroom

[prime barn]

i love all of these

[prime barn]

yeah that's probably better

[prime barn]

by front of the motel do you mean the little front office or like the catwalk?

[twin plank]

Its already ported.

[thick tide]

like here

it feels a little weirdly empty

its something the motel would try to make look nice but fail yknow

[fast flame]

a few benches wuld work

[thick tide]

nah not there

i think on the weird sides tho yeah

[indigo hinge]

imo, move the parking lot to fill that space

[thick tide]

true true also possible

need one of these for the gate but idk if cm has that

[prime barn]

it doesnt but god i wish it did

[prime barn]

ah i see what you mean

[prime barn]

better or worse?

[thick tide]

shaping more like a diner than a bar ngl but i think you need to cram a lot more seats in there and make it more claustrophobic. (and dirty!)
drape a UA flag in there too, we should have the UA flags also

kitchen area needs an actual door into it

stage doesnt need to be that big

if you think of real stages theyre usually kinda cramped

in bars and stuff

in a real bar its fucking annoying to run around

add a depressingly broken light next to the side entrance if you can i think itd be funny

i would say freezer room shouldnt have the tiling and have some awful ass metal floor

but good decision to tile kitchen

i think the memorabilia and the flags are a good idea

imo plaster more walls with posters

makes it feel more lived in and a vain attempt to make it look good

[supple tendon]

Cultists drive into town looking to rent a room 🙂

[prime barn]

yessir

[nimble pawn]

this is a huge improvements

for the stage add stairs

for the floor id recommend adding different color wood tiles, mix it up a bit in some parts to make it look more aged, see how it looks and decide

[prime barn]

oh yeah i forgot that lmao

[prime barn]

i'll try that yeah

[prime barn]

probably final look

[fast flame]

You’re really improving

[prime barn]

❤️

[nimble pawn]

add a sidewalk

from the bar to the parking lot

[indigo hinge]

It's under the snow

[nimble pawn]

this part

add a strip of concrete

is what id do

[prime barn]

i'll try but i don't know if that'll look good

[nimble pawn]

try at least

[prime barn]

yeah idk

[prime barn]

@fast flame is there a spawn entity or something i need to put in the xeno spawn?

[fast flame]

Place both generic threat spawns and xenocf threat spawns

[nimble pawn]

no i mean

the building and parking lot

theres a strip of sidewalk

between the building

and the parking lot

you know what i mean

plz

like this

[fleet summit]

This sounds cool

Could also do an alien earth thing and have it be a crashed transport

I think that was brought up though

[still cloak]

crashed transport wierd dormant cave system old US army outpost or something any number of isolated places to be the evil ass threat home

[prime barn]

yeah i already have it mapped

[fleet summit]

Could probably throw in a USA flag

[prime barn]

we dont have one

i would have

[fleet summit]

Get it custom sprited

Sorry

Joke

Lalalalaa

[prime barn]

mayor's office + comms tower, crashed weyland transport, clinic, weyu mart

[fast flame]

Hospital is way too big

Rooms are too open

[prime barn]

i mean shouldn't it be big?

i feel like a tight medbay would suck ass

[fleet summit]

Maybe have a storage room or chemical room in the ward

Feels a bit too empty

A few offices too

[prime barn]

👍

[fleet summit]

The reception desk also seems a bit empty

Make the desk a bit closer to the door . Put in an office behind the desk

Although I’m not a mapper

Whatever looks good .

Maybe give the back room of the convenience store a table and chair with a food vendor

[twin plank]

Break up the hospital into smaller rooms, reference the Solaris layout for example.

[fleet summit]

A pharmacy would be cool to see attached to the waiting room

Maybe like how it is on a few stations where chemistry can see into the waiting room

But this is also a small town

[thick tide]

wait merging freight manager with weymart is fire actually

also that is a big fucking hospital for a small town

[round needle]

The weymart backroom should totally have a .38 with few ammo

[thick tide]

weymart prolly only needs one like pc and desk tho in the store

[prime barn]

yeah im gonna downsize

[prime barn]

im gonna add that

[prime barn]

clinic mk2

very up to health codes

[fleet summit]

Looks better, ward still seems empty though

[indigo hinge]

we can use your body till fill it up 👍

[fleet summit]

Maybe some curtains and tables around

[fleet summit]

[indigo hinge]

there are hospital dividers

[fleet summit]

That is what I mean by curtains son

[prime barn]

idk man i don't want to make it super cramped

it's a gameplay centric area

[indigo hinge]

bruh, its giga cramped

[fleet summit]

It it is also a hospital .

[prime barn]

ik but like uhh

tastefully cramped

idfk

[fleet summit]

See what a few curtains look like In the ward .

It looks a bit too empty

Other rooms look great though

[prime barn]

what room do you mean by the ward

[fleet summit]

The one with all the beds

[prime barn]

curtains just like on the beds?

[fleet summit]

Whatever would look the best . I’m not a mapper son

[fast flame]

city boy

[fleet summit]

[prime barn]

https://tenor.com/view/city-boy-gravity-falls-cityboy-city-gif-7883969618059930120

[thick tide]

alright so

ive figured out sign spriting a bit

quick task and doesnt eat up a lot of time

ready to do a bunch in one go 4 dis map

[thick tide]

gimme the uhh png of this one and

[thick tide]

this one

[prime barn]

can you also do one for the sheriff's office

also we should start thinking about the color scheme

idk if i want to do usual green and tan

it'd look too similar to the colony rangers

i kinda like brown/gold

what do you think?

[fleet summit]

^ Looks good

Definitely a recognizable ‘American Sheriff’ look

[thick tide]

yea sure

[thick tide]

yeah that feels wyoming

[thick tide]

wip

[indigo hinge]

sovl

[thick tide]

gonna be adding a bullet hole or two to the welcome sign later

[prime barn]

hell yeah

[thick tide]

any requests?

[prime barn]

i think it looks great

just remember to put some snow on it

[thick tide]

true true

[thick tide]

can also remove the graffiti if its too much

[prime barn]

eh idk

it's not like this is some warzone redneck town where you'll get a bullet between your eyes for disrespecting nascar

it's a quaint calm town that's going through a very tough time

that's about to get tougher

not sure about the graffiti but the bulletholes are kinda funny

[thick tide]

w/o the graffiti

i mean i wont lie i just wanted to see if i could write shitfield

[prime barn]

lmao i get it

it does look cool

[prime barn]

but yeah this is great

you're awesome man

[thick tide]

2.5 signs to go

[prime barn]

👍

all that's left mapping-wise is the SO and engineering

and also cleaning up the enviornment a little

[fleet summit]

Bulletholes are a bit odd for a small Wymoning town

[thick tide]

one man got very drunk or smth idk

its weird but rp prompt or something

can make up your own reason which dumbass did it

[prime barn]

perfect

[thick tide]

church and sheriff to go

those will basically be ground up

need to go shower and shit ill do church one after that

sheriff will uhh wait i ought to start work on rushing trenches

[prime barn]

roger

im gonna work on mapping after i finish this HL13 match

maybe

probably

[thick tide]

i will also work on giving motel sign some idle anims

think itll look sick

youre gonna have to uhh figure out adding it ingame tho and giving it that + light effect

[prime barn]

ah shit

i'll figure it out

[thick tide]

shouuldnt be that hard i think

[thick tide]

lets him them with the neon church sign lmfao

[prime barn]

small town church that spent all their funding on the sign

[thick tide]

@prime barn can i get a pic of the church rn

forgor what materials its using

[prime barn]

this is an old screenshot but the walls are the same

[thick tide]

lowkey neon might fit here

[thick tide]

too lazy to clean up for export rn but heres the motel sign in its full glory

[crystal bloom]

Need mappers @prime barn ?

[prime barn]

yeah, i could use some help

dm me after the playtest and we can get mappin

[crystal bloom]

Bet

I can finally use my experience as an American to ma0

*map

[prime barn]

https://tenor.com/view/god-bless-america-happy-4th-gif-26126342

[crystal bloom]

Worked on the medbay

added individual treatment rooms and gave staff a little WIP break room

[prime barn]

looks great

[prime barn]

sure hope a blizzard didn't happen here

[prime barn]

@thick tide hate to ask but can you make one more sign

it's for the powerplant

like

"SUNFIELD TRI-COUNTY FUSION POWERPLANT" or something

[prime barn]

power plant and sheriff's office

okay

that's all essential buildings done

if anyone wants to hop on and add something in an empty space, feel free

just ping me before you do

and screenshot the area

[round needle]

jeez

thats

[twin plank]

The colony definitely needs more meat and bones, even for the lowest of low pop it’s extremely small and empty.

[round needle]

that's lot of harringtons

[twin plank]

Also, remove the APCs and reduce the rifle count to 2-3 and delete the GL.

[prime barn]

i'm going to be working some more buildings, yeah

[prime barn]

AG?

[round needle]

confused the harrington with the AG80

they the same to me tbh

[prime barn]

idk i just felt like the sherriffs should be well-armed for a cf-exclusive map due to little to no GOVFOR intervention

[prime barn]

anyways, again. if anyone wants to help me fill up the map a lil, feel free

[thick tide]

sure, onto the list it goes

[fleet summit]

Realistic American PD armory

Trust the process

[boreal dawn]

waffle house :)

[thick tide]

i AM willing to sprite a waffle house sign btw thats a load bearing sprite

signs im pushing back into the queue for weekend tho

tomorrow gonna be entirely off disc and friday id like to chunk away on the sawmill

[prime barn]

oh FUCK yes

[fleet summit]

Waffle house will remain open even during a Xenomorph takeover

[prime barn]

im gonna give them armed mercenary guards and sentry turrets

[boreal dawn]

"DEPUTIES DEFEND THE WAFFLE HOUSE"

https://tenor.com/view/last-mag-make-it-count-mw2-call-of-duty-cod-gif-8081540166798103685

Sunfield PD with the Alien Earth glocks :)

[prime barn]

stripmall + hunting supply store

[round needle]

The supply store kinda needs a proper backroom

like the hybrisa one

Also what are those rifles? Never seen them before

[boreal dawn]

ABR 40's

you see em alot in colony fall when cargo buys like 20

theyre basically california compliant L42's

[still cloak]

if we got the display cases a basira armstrong would be a nice display case item for sale

[prime barn]

oh yeah, forgot about those

[cosmic bloom]

looted immediately by every clf ever

[still cloak]

hey now why loot when you can drop a stack of cold hard cash for it

https://youtu.be/n4UURcZrVKY

[cosmic bloom]

implying unwashed masses have MONEY

[still cloak]

i mean....we're gonna be diversifying the CLF groups eventually

their not all anti corporate neo commies

some are just greedy

some are gangs

some are ironically UA patriots who just hate the corps

most...most of the cells actually just fucking hate the corps

[prime barn]

CF exclusive

i might eventually add insurgency but i'd have to make a whole new CLF alternative probably

with all the new CLF features coming that might be a pain

but if i do i'm 100% doing a far cry 5 eden's gate typa thing

https://tenor.com/view/john-seed-loading-gif-8252906888690790589

when the local CLF goons are a little more religiously charged than usual

[prime barn]

[crystal bloom]

needs a safe for robberies

[fleet summit]

Allow griefing only within the confines of the waffle house .

[prime barn]

lrp is permitted within these walls

[boreal dawn]

its a lil big for the joke but I see the vision as a holdout spot

[prime barn]

yeah that was the intention

i'll call it fuckin

waffle hut or something

[crystal bloom]

Waffle-Yutani

[prime barn]

genuinely gonna use this

[fast flame]

Weyland-Too-Yummy

[thick tide]

this is hilarious

my fellow employees...the waffle house must stay open...arm yourselves..

[fleet summit]

I just realized .

No smoking sign is breaking my immersion

[prime barn]

will fix

running out of ideas for buildings

was gonna do a fire station or library but we don't have enough assets for either

maybe a park

and also i don't want to bloat it with buildings that nobody's ever gonna go into

@twin plank do you mind loading up the map and seeing there's enough shit

[fleet summit]

Understandable

Do you have an idea for engineering

[prime barn]

bare in mind that the map barriers nor the enviornment are completely finished

[fleet summit]

If you don’t then I’d say make a utility company building

[prime barn]

engineering i finished already

mountainside powerplant

[fleet summit]

Ahhh

[prime barn]

it's just under sunfield.yml btw

[fleet summit]

👍

[boreal dawn]

Motel?

[prime barn]

already done

[boreal dawn]

Methane?

Meth lab*

[fleet summit]

???

This isn’t the E2 motel Died

Or was that E1 .

[prime barn]

like just a hut in the woods with chemistry shit and needles?

[fleet summit]

That would be a fun story telling area

[prime barn]

it would and i'll probably add it but i need like

space-filling stuff

[fleet summit]

I’d say a small school

But

Maybe for the best you don’t

[prime barn]

yeaaaaah no

[fleet summit]

Town hall ?

As the colony admin building

If you haven’t already

Electronics store

Pharmacy

Basketball court

Flower shop

[prime barn]

oh yeah all those are good

[fleet summit]

I’d imagine you can have the colony admin and weyland manager on one part . A medium sized ‘briefing’ room and the synth room

Reception desk maybe

[prime barn]

i already have the mayor's office but it's kinda dinky

[fleet summit]

Ahh .

[prime barn]

i'll do a rework somewhere down the line

[fleet summit]

Where’s the synth stuff so far .

[prime barn]

in the mayor's office

it's like a 6-tile closet with a vendor and phone

[fleet summit]

Lalalaa

A fast food place with a drive through

Maybe .

But you already have a wafflehouse

[prime barn]

there's alot of different fast food places in american towns

[fleet summit]

^

Is there a bar

I dont know how many buildings you want

Gas station

[ebon canopy]

Holy fuck that bar is fucking keno

That shit has soul

[cosmic bloom]

drop an empty narcan injector in the waffle house

[thick tide]

the church shall be 80s

[prime barn]

https://tenor.com/view/sillygroovycool-gif-6014980648855741738

[prime barn]

fuck i need to make the store bigger

[prime barn]

shitty ass holdout spot

[prime barn]

actually it might not be that bad

just need to add a backdoor

[thick tide]

ok i thought abt it more

wtf would an sherrifs office sign even be like

i dont actually know

[fleet summit]

What county is this town in

[prime barn]

this is what i was thinking

[prime barn]

okay i just realized that there are no township sheriffs

fuck

[twin plank]

Township sheriffs exist, they’re just not a common thing.

It’s usually the sheriffs department using contract to act as the police for a town that’s not actually within their jurisdiction.

[prime barn]

i guess we could do the "police department but looks like sheriffs" thing

like the hawkins PD from stranger things

[crystal bloom]

Honestly, this look is common with most small town PDs in the 80s

Stetson hats were pretty in style

[prime barn]

nice

also you told me to ping you on monday to work on the clinic

ik it's not monday because i forgor but get mapping boyah

I GOT AN IDEA

IM GONNA MAP A GUN SHOW

[crystal bloom]

I'm with the lady

[twin plank]

Waffle top uniforms look so god damn good.

[prime barn]

remember what i said about multitasking

but fr work on it when you can, no rush

mapping (i think) is nearing conclusion but i still have to make yamlslop so you got plenty of time

[thick tide]

good thing its wyoming thats a VERY easy state to sprite lmfao

[prime barn]

@crystal bloom server is back up

do you want to work on the gun expo

[crystal bloom]

Sure, gimme five

[crystal bloom]

go VC1

[prime barn]

spaz you gremlin

you covered all of the clinic in a random RMC area

[crystal bloom]

Oops

[prime barn]

it's fine i fixed it

oooooh george @twin plank

https://tenor.com/view/clash-of-clans-hog-rider-call-gif-4169590

come look at my shitty map again

i added alot more buildings, did spawns, fixed the map wall, and touched up the enviroment

[twin plank]

otw

@prime barn ...

[prime barn]

they're unloaded dw

[twin plank]

Thats still... not okay.

[prime barn]

i mean i could go in and remove all the gun components if you want

[nimble pawn]

yeah gixer

no way we will put this in the codebase

[fleet summit]

Is this suppose to be a museum

[prime barn]

it's a gun expo

it looks like shit ik

i'll replace it

[fleet summit]

Ohhh .

Well I don’t think a gun expo would have 10 of the same guns lined up

[twin plank]

Is this a colony fall map...

Because uh.

Weapons are way to accessible.

Like there is 4-5 guns in like half the buildings on the map.

[fleet summit]

Lore accurate to a small American town

Lalalaa

[twin plank]

Dosen't matter, it dosen't work for colony fall.

[fleet summit]

But Maybe don’t have 50 guns everywhere if it’s for colony fall

[twin plank]

Also I'm sure the <@&1474330326594486282> can give better advice, but a lot of the buildings have varying levels of quality.

Some of them are amazing, some are just squares with weird designs.

[prime barn]

there's hunting rifles in the supply store and an M16 in the shack in the woods

[twin plank]

Also, a lot of the buildings are using GOVFOR doors rather than colony doors.

[prime barn]

all other guns have had their components removed or are unloaded

[prime barn]

they aren't locked tho

[twin plank]

The colony, locked variants are.

[prime barn]

what do you mean

[prime barn]

yeah, all the govfor doors are intentionally not locked

[prime barn]

the govfor doors are for all access areas

[twin plank]

Use normal airlocks, not GOVFOR ones.

There are also no lock variants of all the colony doors.

[prime barn]

i don't see the issue though. the govfor doors that i'm using are not access locked. is it just the sprite that's bad?

[twin plank]

They're reserved specifically for GOVFOR/OPFOR buildings, so placing them elsewhere will confuse players.

[prime barn]

...until they walk into the door and find they can open it just fine

i'll replace the doors though

[twin plank]

• The firearm count needs to be heavily reduced, I've counted 23 outside of the expo
• The expo should probably be outright replaced, if you're dead set on having it you'll need to make prop prototypes for all the firearms that are inert that mention themselves as being inert (don't VV the components away, that can cause issues)
• The basketball court is very small for a basketball court, I would reference the one on Varadero
• Even though its supposed to be a rustbelt town, you need to reduce the amount of random apocalypticesque clutter. Having an abandoned house or two is fine, having buildings that are already barricaded up with HESCOs and a mounted machine gun is not.

I'm not really sure what this building is supposed to be, but its very weirdly shaped, try to block it out a bit more.

The hospital is better than before but could use some work. The hallways are very empty and the tile selection dosen't look very good. Delete the military APC.

[prime barn]

house

[prime barn]

yeah, i'll give it some shit

[fleet summit]

That’s a really weird looking house son

[prime barn]

that was mostly @crystal bloom 's workings

[prime barn]

spaz called it a penis house and now i can't unsee it

[twin plank]

This looks fine, maybe work on the tiles though, generally you want some variance. I highly suggest referencing hybrisias tile layouts for inspiration

[prime barn]

sure thing

[twin plank]

The generator room needs a lot of TLC, probably repair the bridge as well.

[prime barn]

aw come on you know you like spaz's schitzo storyline

[twin plank]

All of the colony doors you've placed appear to be the marine versions and not the colony versions.

[prime barn]

the idea is that a blizzard ripped through the town right before the events of the round, so alot of shit in less maintained areas are fucked

[prime barn]

aw fuck

[twin plank]

Pile some snow, but I don't think a blizzard is gonna literally destroy the town.

Otherwise, there is a lot of empty space, but I know thats a WIP so don't worry about it. I'd consider blocking out more buildings as it feels very empty even on the mainroad right now.

[prime barn]

sure thing

[twin plank]

I'll leave the rest to the <@&1474330326594486282>, but you're getting the hang of things man. Keep it up!

[prime barn]

thank you man

i appreciate the feedback

[nimble pawn]

what id suggest is boot up hybrisa

or any map

just in general use them for reference

garrison was massivley inspired by hybrisia

[twin plank]

Also shot in the dark but <@&1419201595412844617> anyone interested in getting this man some CM appropriate ice tiles?

It is not a bad thing to copy elements of other maps, it is highly suggested for new mappers.

Especially for interior design and building shapes.

https://cm-ss13.com/w/images/6/60/LV759_Hybrisa_Prospera.png

[prime barn]

gonna take a break on this and focus on hazops for a bit

will restart in the future

[nimble pawn]

okay 👍

[languid hemlock]

this is the worst rmc map i literally don’t care

[twin plank]

Horrible take.

THE most well designed soulful map CM has ever cooked.

[warm thunder]

i must agree
urban warfare is kino

[cerulean talon]

hybrisa is the top tier map of CM that had months of work put into it

[prime barn]

https://tenor.com/view/he-made-a-statement-statement-dog-leaving-the-dog-is-leaving-gif-2116045989672169

[boreal dawn]

Fact he called it an RMC map tells me all I need to know

[thick tide]

we were talking about Hybrisa in reference to it's aesthetic not how it plays anyhow lol

[nimble pawn]

[crystal bloom]

@prime barn what do we got left on the map?

[prime barn]

filling space, replace gun expo, improve basketball court, fill up hospital, make the houses like more like houses

[boreal dawn]

Probably can turn the gun expo into a pawn shop

Bunch of random stuff in the game you couldn’t really put anywhere else

https://tenor.com/view/pawn-stars-gif-4899922095565476362

[languid hemlock]

i’d say something but i’d get warned for it

[cerulean talon]

https://tenor.com/view/he-made-a-statement-statement-dog-leaving-the-dog-is-leaving-gif-2116045989672169

Could have state troopers be a third party spawn

[nimble pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/dreaming-key-smash-kitten-cute-gif-17505545

wyci

[boreal dawn]

Goofy idea if you still need buildings, pizzeria with the fnaf 1 security office+hallway in the back

[boreal dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-door-gif-22997957

[craggy torrent]

nothing happens in wyoming is finally being disproved

[crystal bloom]

Huh?

[prime barn]

restarting

[prime barn]

does this look like a house

[boreal dawn]

garage needs a door, and needs to get filled out

man cave would be funny

[cerulean talon]

there are better table sprites from cm13 these ones are from bay legacy afaik

[prime barn]

tru

[prime barn]

you got them on hand?

[cerulean talon]

these already are in use on hybrisa, neroid, etc

[thorny dome]

missing the TV

[boreal dawn]

every day goes by where i want to get into mapping just to map out a frathouse and a FNAF pizzera but the lazy inside me says no

[fleet summit]

You can put it as free place to center that

[boreal dawn]

what map

wait is this rmc?

[fleet summit]

RMC

would be funny to see the FNAF 4 house

[thorny dome]

theres no arrow

so i cant see it

hence you're missing the tv

[prime barn]

damn you're right

[thick tide]

if you want a minimalist garage
beercans+ beer container
toolbox
folding chair
loose tools one or two
some electrical stuff (wires, wirecutters, etc)
flashlight (idk if possible but make an out of battery one lol)

minifridge with beer would also work

[prime barn]

hey now i can use vehicles as an excuse for my map being empty

[warm thunder]

isnt that the point

[fleet summit]

Have you considered a map exclusive national guard platoon

[prime barn]

i actually have

but i don't plan to put on insurgency (CLF wouldn't make alot of sense here) so there wouldn't be any govfor

i'm going to replace the admins console with the "mayors console" which will be able to call in US army support instead of the usual colony law

[fleet summit]

Insurgency but with terrorists instead

[prime barn]

idk how possible it would be to have map-based CLF variations

[boreal dawn]

Probably have to lore primer it

[prime barn]

mainly code wise

lore i'm not worried about

[still cloak]

insurgency but it's literally the bloods

[prime barn]

bro bloods in Buttfuck, Wyoming is crazy

[still cloak]

they get around

[tribal wagon]

if you wanna yaml warrior it you can just make new jobs with new gear

[fast flame]

Lore primer is in lol

Just press c

You’ll understand it

[prime barn]

bro it's not the lore primer i'm worried about

it's coding the CLF alternative

[fast flame]

i can add a feature for custom safe house contents if wanted

It’s like 10 lines

Just ping me when i’m home

[prime barn]

oh sick

thanks man

[prime barn]

@fast flame you free?

also how the hell am i gonna put ambassadors on this map

[cerulean talon]

Multi floor building like in flight

[prime barn]

like logically

how would multinational ambassadors be on a random wyoming town

[thick tide]

just dont have it

[prime barn]

true

[fast flame]

Better off without

Imo

Not every map needs them

[prime barn]

sunshit is almost done

just gotta clean up the road, fix the lights and it'll be ready for review

oh and also spriting

[prime barn]

@nimble pawn lights and sidewalks have been fixed

[crystal bloom]

SITREP?

[prime barn]

it's done, i should probably ping george for review

@twin plank lots of changes, ready for review

[prime barn]

map is Sunfield/0.0.4.yml

[twin plank]

<@&1474330326594486282>

[nimble pawn]

on it

what modes it made for @prime barn

[prime barn]

colony fall

[nimble pawn]

xenos on earth?

🥶

[prime barn]

yeah

isolated rural town that was cut off from the outside world due to a blizzard

and a weyland transport crashed in the colony

also bro why can't people read the damn body text of a post

[prime barn]

what if

i did insurgency but no CLF

and only UPP GOVFOR

red dawn

[boreal dawn]

WOLVERINES!!!!

[crystal bloom]

Make CLF

[nimble pawn]

List of things to improve:

[nimble pawn]

clf would not be active on earth

at all

[crystal bloom]

IRA?

[cerulean talon]

the australia wars

https://tenor.com/view/mad-max-driving-dessert-animated-gif-2418915475265525921

[prime barn]

if i ever did insurgency i was going to make them homebrew

probably a project eden's gate typa thing

[tender crescent]

Im Irish and im offended!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAA
/j

[prime barn]

yeah?

[nimble pawn]

still in review

[nimble pawn]

@prime barn

what factions operate on the map

and what is the local police force

[prime barn]

it's colony fall

in the United States

[nimble pawn]

strictly colony fall?

so the local police force would be:

[prime barn]

unless i make an insurgency version with custom CLF

police is going to be custom

SFPD

[nimble pawn]

so

that wont work

[prime barn]

why not

[nimble pawn]

if you want it in soon

you will have to put one in its stead

id recommend CWPS

cause right now your map

is under review

[prime barn]

so

CWPS as temp law enforcement

until review is done

[nimble pawn]

is the map even done?

this shouldnt be a question xd

[prime barn]

the mapping is done yes

i just need to do spritework and code

i.e the signs and LEOs

[nimble pawn]

so

oml

hold on

[cerulean talon]

crips vs bloods

[prime barn]

in WYOMING

[cerulean talon]

expanded the territory

@nimble pawn will work on improving the map based on the review, few things though

• Map is not distress signal
• HESCOs are inside of a doomsday prepper's house
• I.. did have the department consoles

though i did lack hydroponics

also, how would you recommend i standardize the mapping style throughout the map?

[nimble pawn]

my badness

you still have a billion other things you need to work on

[prime barn]

yes yes i know

back to the mines

[nimble pawn]

i don't really know but its a varience in quality

one is really good

and then the next is just

🐖 💨

[prime barn]

what are the specific buildings

[tribal wagon]

this is prime example

the first room is detailed, next one has a truck inside

[prime barn]

es garaje senor

yeah i see your point

[tribal wagon]

i thought those were windows 😭

[nimble pawn]

the weyland facility
