Week 2 - #2 - gm_jdconstruct

Hello all

Well i got on and started working on the track and fixed it so the trains fit. also put the turntable in and got it working just right so great day for that i think even if when i tested the track out on Gmod with a train it didnt want to stay on the track around the bends so i need to rework it till it works. Then theres the change over track will need a complete change its didnt work at all so more time and work there i think thats a about 5 hours work there todo.

Week 2 - #1 - gm_jdconstruct

OK hi all

well im going to be puting it in weeks now on this blog so i may do 3 or more post a week about the map but its a slow thing getting it all setup.

Looking at gmod server cost and should have a server to beta test this map in 2 or so weeks and thats means feedback on anythink not working or not looking right also if i should add somthingor remove it.

anyways nothing to update now been on a new game, Empire total war. but will be back to the map soon.

Day Five - gm_jdconstruct

Hello again

well i long ass day this one was, I got the staion down and the trake right around the map with it all working nice. I got a turntable there but alot of problems with that and will not fix till another day. Speaking about day i will not be working on the map tomorrow as I just got empire total war (very cheap right now on steam).

will as for the track i made a small miss juge in size and was not thinking right when i did the main set to put all over the map and will need to redo all the track and part of the station to get it set right as in all of today i had no major progress in the map and there for no new pics sorry about that :(

so on day seven i should hope to have the track down on the top and then Day 9 i will start the underground rooms as i am starting to work on the map once ever day or so after today stuff up i think i have spent too much time the last five day on source SDK and this small problem was so dumb but it was that i was just too tired LOL.

any ways i think the map is starting to look good and should be fun to use. Oh and another thing is that i will be getting a Gmod server to host Beta runs on the map but that will not be till like day 20 or 30 and the map should be bug free and great detail as i got testing going on with mate as i build and we test ever think right after is done so we know it works right for you all when i release the map.

Thanks
JasonBD

Day Four - gm_jdconstruct

Hello again

Ok so last night i got the tower down and started making the runway better looking and making the lighting and skybox better. Today i have raised the sky, made the tower longer, made the test area for vehicle's (4 differente level hill climbs and a suspention testing area) and I made teh ramp in the water longer to fit long trailers for boats. all in all a fun day that now i have all the above ground buildings in apart from the 2 stations and railway but thats going to be like a weeks work there i think.

I also found out the rail size's, 6 wide / 8 high / 80 apart. there we go so if you are building a map and need the rail size's just write them down from here.

Day Three - gm_jdconstruct

Hello all

This is day three. I am sorry about all three post been posted on the same day but I am just starting this blog today and need to catch up with it all.

So day three is fun I did the hanger last night that was alot of fun had a bit of trouble lining it all up but got it sorted out today. Any ways I did the runway and the office today as you know the runway was very easy just a bit on the gound infront of the hanger. The office on the other hand was harder to do I had it a smaller but its didn't work wiht the roof was too low to the ground so i map the office into a 4 stoy high tower thing but thats not the tower its going to be bigger. The lights where a problem but i got it looking right now and in the stair well its looks great I think.
