Sounds awesome. I'm gonna get started right away.

When this map pack is done please get in contact with me and I will put it on my Fun Map server along with the other J2 map packs.

I'm trying to build the Simmon's mansion from the 1966 film "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." It is a large mansion that is supposedly haunted. The house is the main location of the movie starring Don Knotts.

So far the building of the map is going so so but I think the finished product will be good.

Anybody else want to share their ideas?

Yes actually, I'm mapping the insides of my dream house. I'll post a screen of the main hall soon

I would suggest finishing your map before October 9th, because otherwise you would be too busy playing the Orange Box.

I'm going to start it on the 10th so I can rip all the new episode 2 models and throw them in my map. Wasn't there even a pumpkin in one of the ep2 preview videos?

nipper can you do this?

thanks killswitch23456

Ep2 comes out on the 10th? Finally...

You know what, forget what I said in the 3rd post. I don't think i'll do cs_nightmare. Like, ever. I'll incorporate the same ideas/scares into a new map i'm currently collecting more ideas for, but i'll let de_nightmare be the only map with 'nightmare' in the title. So, goodbye cs_nightmare, hello de_deadblock!

Here is the main hall. I have some lighting to tweak to make it spookier, maybe add a few props and shit but you get the main idea of my dreamhouse.

looks a lot like your hotel map

Oh, and Boo? When you do your secret this time....give us more of an award.

I'm blind as a bat, but I just can't see where those stairs lead, lmao..

Yeah maybe I should change the texturing of the walls and the ceiling.
If I want to change the long carpet, I'll have to find a texture myself because there is only one stocked one.

However, I do need the wooden beams that support that platform like thing above the point where I took the screenshot from. These beams are very similar to the ones of de_xmas_hotel.
Anyone has a suggestion on what else I could use to "support" that platform?

I'm not sure I'm gonna add a secret here. But what do you understand as a reward anyways? A dancefloor is Nipper's idea and I don't want to be a copycat (even though I like secret dancefloors, they're Nipper's idea...)

maybe make like a tree effect with the supports to change the look a little



it should cast some cool shadows too depending on your lighting
