Limelight Forums

No, but making a flawless map is not hard if you have play testers. And given that their is about 500 players in this community, and my point is - if LimeLight were to have a custom map; most of us would download it, and assuming its a good map - other players who look at the LimeLight CityRP Section will most likely download it, thats what id assume anyway - also did some lighting today;







Added lighting, its a little dark,  but its there!

I'm all for you guys but I don't think even combined we as a community has enough experience in Hammer to nail out every single bug, optimize it etc. People won't download this map unless it's known to the community, and needs to be "easy" to download in a way so people who have just bought Garry's Mod know how to play on the server.

I have enough experience, how ever, this map is alot of work as it is, I'd need to be in a team if i were to make one for this community.

The only person who said it needs to be bug free was Vol. No map can be bug free unless it is as simple as having flat land. It can be made popular if it has what players desire. Evocity & Rockford does not have everything. Hence why we can attempt at making a map with most of the features.

Yes Midget, but no one in this community has had the experience of creating a popular map.

Who said it had to be popular?

So people are going to download a map that they've never seen before/heared of. Even the Author's name?
What I'm saying is that no one in this community is a "experienced map developer" who has the skills to make a map like evocity v33x, rockford as them guys have around 8+ years in hammer. I'm all up for a custom map, but I think it'll affect the player-base if we go ahead with such a idea. I'm glad you guys are thinking and wanting LimeLight to improve but I don't think this is the way to go forth.

Just because a map is popular doesn't mean you are experienced? People have stated they have around 3-5 years experience. I see no reason why we can't attempt it. This thread was originally made for a custom map that was going to made around the CityRP 2 gamemode. Was never going to be released for LL.

Sure there are many ways to improve Limelight. This is one of them. This is only something small compared to what Limelight can bring.

Just going to refer to the quote in my signature; EvoCity was not popular until a few years after its released as Downtown dominated the rp servers, if you make the map and do it right, and post on a forum like facepunch where even my thread has just over 3000 views, people download it just to test it, intern it gets pushed up the raitings of steams workshop.

Further more if you make based on what the community wants, they will download it, then new comers will see alot of people on and intern download it.
