smh not accurate enough why isnt it a 1:1 recreation to scale

can you have that clown that stapled money to his balls in here?

glad that i instantly thought of vinny when i read staten island

i really should've snuck the image of sal somewhere on the map, big missed opportunity

when the jokers are impractical

Glad you posted and shared this to the public. It's still a good map despite being in an unfinished state forever.

i like the museum but good map regardless

i don't like the museum but good map regardless

saw this and did a spit take. first thought was "how do they know..."

ERROR EVERYWHERE WHY ?????

definitely a wip but it's really good so far, i definitely suggest some more background ambience though

@ hisu, I know it's difficult, but learn to read.

FINISH YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MAP YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WTF IS THIS IF YOUR GONNA POST SOMETHING FINISH IT IDC IF ITS UNFINISHED YOU MAKE MAPS DO BETTER ♥♥♥♥♥♥ GO F YOURSELF

Im putting this in my GMod collection so the map might show up if Vin plays modded GMod again

los dont come to staten island or you will perish

500 megs, half a gig
HOOLY SHOOOOCKKKKSSS!!!

Plus the map already gives that super cool 200X vibe minus again the one WTC in the Skybox.

ill go ahead and say love this and super great so far but one critique imo the map should be set in 200X and should have the towers it would play with all the NY maps set then

Dosent feel like si ur missing the expressway u got some parts but this feels like a game using assets from si you need better and more textures as sombody who lives there im happy but also offended impressive work but it can be improved hella entirely you deserve a u tried award and because you gave respect to my home and you nailed it certain spots very small

THATS MY HOME

i wish i could have this level of skill with open world maps jesus

short answer: it's an old game engine

long answer: source (plus goldsource and the quake engine) were designed to render rooms that've been split into little chunks called "visleaves", so anything that is placed on a map needs to technically be a square room and anything that isn't will cause issues (like the entirety of this map).

additionally, source also imposes arbitrary limits on how much of a thing you can have so that you don't put down hundreds of entities on the map and cause it to run really bad. you can't place more than a x number of brushes, you can't have more than an x number of entities, you can't have more than an x number of visleaves and you can make a map bigger than ~600m² because source is old and wasn't designed to do any of that

why is source/ hammer so bad at making maps work

Reminds me of that movie where crime was legal for 12 hours.

LODED DIPER

I am not convinced that Staten Island is a real place, I've never met anyone who's been there

i pray new jersey annexes staten island some day

also the displacements are really bad because i had no idea what i was doing at the time and was like "power 4 displacements?, sure let's make every single displacement on the map power 4!"

i'll release the vmf soon-ish, but i warn people that this map is literally unfinishable unless you turn a whole lot of the brushwork into propper models

i had to do that to already get the final version of the map to compile because it'd already hit the max vert limit

can you release the map file for other people to finish it

hey i can see my house from there

GOOD OLE SHTATEN EYELAND

I think you singlehandedly might make Vinny do a gmod stream for this map

This map is great! I'd like to see the other city maps from the museum and this map to be finished and completed some day.

i don't plan on adding much to the map (besides fixing any issues people point out) but your ideas have been duly noted for future use (get it, because the museum has a future section)

or like a cropsey reference in the tunnels

native Staten Islander here, i love this. you should add the staten island zoo or mariners harbor, i grew up in mariners harbor and always visited the zoo and clove lakes park you should make too, its a great park

yes, a staten island

Is that an island?

[ Trash heap] ISLAND

And when Sandbox comes out, will you make this map for this game ?

I have CS:S installed. So maybe it's some weird issue with having it installed?

just needs CS:S, which is included with gmod

it might be a model or texture i forgot to include (this map is really old and extremely disorganized)

I know this is a stupid question but does this map require any games? I found some errors and I installed the mods needed for the map before hand.

maybe one day, i still really like chicago

One more thing, Can you Please finish and release the Chicago map? It looked/looks really cool. We need more 1930's maps here.

Nice

HAD A HEART OF GLASS

about that beer i owed ya.

Kept you waiting huh?
