Title: Industrial City
Post by: PoisonIVy12 on December 21, 2015, 03:10:01 am
MAJOR work in progress amp that I literally just started a few hours ago. But it is already shaping up to be a spectacular map.
Unfortunately, it's already experiencing a bit of lag. Nowhere near as bad as the lag on my Stavesacre Castles map, but it probably will be when it's finished.
It's an average-sized map: 7300x550 in size, but it is shaping up really well. Here is one screenshot from the only complete part, the Subway Station:
It seems I have no later screenshots than this. That is very unlike me. Welp, it's not much different; it just has a roof and that second escalator has all its steps on it.
What do I mean by "Industrial City"? I came up with a sci-fi subgenre called Industrial while in Washington DC last spring, and it's basically a grungy, dirty, inner-city sort of sci-fi genre. So this map will be grungy and dirty! I want to add in some cobblestone sidewalks in some places and regular sidewalks in others.
And it will be amazing.
Speaking of Washington DC, fun fact: The bricklike hexagonal tile texture in the screenshot is actually a texture I took a picture of while there. It's the texture on the wall of the restaurant at Mount Vernon. If you go there, you will probably recognize this if you go down the stairs to the bathroom, because it's there!!!
More screenies coming soon, I hope. :D

It has a custom sky on it now to make the whole map look a bit "bleaker". I've also got music selected for the map (Industrial music, naturally). For now, I must add windows to the filler buildings, lest they look like big boxes with doors. :D 'Tis shaping up to be a great map indeed!

Wow looks pretty interesting already! We sure can use more city maps cause those are a rarity. I can't wait to see more of it! Great work!

Hey everyone, sorry I blipped off the radar for so many months.
Anyway, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to finish this map unless something drastic happens.
See, soon after I got my own computer set up with FeralHeart I all but stopped using the downstairs computer that I've been using for the past few years to create my maps and play FH in general. However, I became nostalgic a few weeks ago and decided to play with my old maps downstairs and continue my work on those projects.
Well, that didn't work out. I can't play the game for longer than 3 minutes before EVERYTHING locks up--- the cursor, Control-Alt-Delete--- nothing responds. Not even the power button on the computer. (You have to hold it to get anything to happen; in other words, completely shutting down the computer is the only way to get the game to turn off.) I have no idea why it started doing this, but I think it's safe to say that I'll no longer be able to work on any of my old maps, including this beauty.
I'm sorry to have to say this and even more sorry that I can't update any of my old projects at all as of now.

Man, that really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out for ya. However, if it did, I'm certain it would've been amazing. Those screenshots. Wow.

Thanks y'all :)
Turns out it's the computer's problem and it's been locking up on everything for everyone, and apparently won't even start up now. Looks like I'll be starting over again; I may make a new city map but I'll definitely miss the old one and all the work that went into it.

Oh my, I'm very sorry to hear that. The progress that you've made on the map so far looks absolutely beautiful, but I am sure that even if re-doing everything is the only way to keep the concept going, you will still do a fantastic job with it. Even though you may not be able to get the exact same result as you were planning, you still have talent and creativity that can make something really incredible. If it's possible, you could always try backing up the map files, object files/folders, and screenshots and keeping it somewhere besides your computer. Some users have had issues putting FH files back onto another computer when doing this, but you might be able to salvage some of your progress. Nonetheless, good luck!

Thanks :)
Update: There may be a way or two to save my maps--- I considered moving over the entire FeralHeart folder over to the secondary drive (if the computer doesn't crash in the process). My dad suggested we put the hard drive into a new machine since the drive itself isn't the issue. So who knows? Maybe someday I'll be able to work on this stuff again. Right now the future looks bleak, but hey, maybe I'll be able to work on it still, give or take a few months. I can hope, haha... With college coming up I wouldn't have time to work on my maps anyway, even if the computer situation were fixed. So yeah... someday. XD
