Title: [Mapping] Penthouse near the beach in the LS Main map
Post by: seraph117 on November 22, 2017, 01:17:40 pm
Well guys we all know how hard it is for the president to survive in the Los Santos Main map as there is almost no place to camp safely and the roads too are too narrow and twined up to make a good run.
So i decided that why not map a kind of penthouse or safehouse near the LS beach so that the president can get there and the secs get a solid chance to protect the president.

The specifications:
1)The penthouse will have a sniper tower for experienced sniper secs do justice to their skill.
2)The penthouse will be riddled with a kind of tunnel and micro bridges for the president to change positions during assault.

3)The main part that the penthouse will have a large helipad on top of the roof for secs to escort president safely to the house by means of helis.It will also act as anti-plane suicide bombings. :P
4)It will have a lagoon house like design not to bore you with its looks.

5)And it will be beside a beach ain't that cool...

I will be posting screenshots ASAP if Jonne allows this project.

So technically u are saying that we go inside the penthouse and kill everyone?
Just tell me how we are going in..? By door or what?
I know things are not good enough for President in ls but i want you to explore ls thoroughly and you will see there's a lot more anti aircraft explosion and safe camping areas if you know how to go for it
It's a -1 for me now

I like your idea, seraph117.
This area, (Santa Maria beach ) would be great place for mapping the penthouse you mentioned.

Thanks and what I mean to say is if there were so many places to hide then why is that one of the toughest map cmon the presi is always so underpowered so a penthouse won't be a problem rather a good thing...

I'd like to see how it looks like, before I make a choice.

It's not that hard to survive in Los Santos- RC, WV and FC are all very difficult because there isn't much to hide behind and in. People survive doing really weird shit in LS, like jumping from the tallest building down to a camping spot, taking over the ship in the southeast corner of the map, and by not camping at all. Part of the fun is finding new camping spots- many of the old ones have been forgotten. For example, have you tried parachuting down to the lighthouse near the beach? It's a very nice spot. Have you tried the city hall? Have you tried taking over the pier area that Crash suggested? There is only one way in, and plenty of buildings to run around and hide in.

Don't forget that driving, flying and stunting can also be used to survive, and in LS I think they can be much more effective.

No sniper towers please.

Snipers have enough of advantage already. :'(

That's some interesting stuff, but as YoMama mentioned you can't really say that it's hard to survive in LS.
Title: Re: [Mapping] Penthouse near the beach in the LS Main map
Post by: seraph117 on November 23, 2017, 02:50:19 pm
Well the sniper tower is justified cmon lets give the presi and secs some advantage, they run errands with no hope of survival almost...

Post by: Shark_The_Helicopter on November 23, 2017, 02:54:16 pm
Well it goes both ways tbh. If the Presi is popular he will get loads of protecting/helping members with only a handful of opposing class members against him.

But then again it's mostly Terro>Protecting Classes. So ok I get that. Besides Rifles will get good cover.

How about placing some objects to avoid sniper fire and taking cover? Keeping a sort of Balance.

(http://preview.ibb.co/mgzHhm/sa_mp_021.png) (http://ibb.co/nEaq2m)

Features:

1)Safehouse has 2 doors to enter and a garage with vortex and a helipad with maverick.

2)safehouse has built in prevention systems for air attacks and chainsaw rampage.

3)has a loop the loop in the backyard side for the president and secs to ambush terros.

4)has umbrellas in front so as to give some cover to terros from sniper fire(cmon fair play  :P )

5)has bulletproof windows so nothing punches in and the rest you can see in pics...

Everything is complete but i need Jonne's approval to post the map file.

The helipad roof absorbs the crash damages and buffers are placed inside the rooms to prevent rampaging directly

Lmao i dont know what to say,your idea is great but 50 50 HERE in ptp.Because
Half of players in ptp are vips
40% are regular players
5% are newbies
The rest are undercovers
But on the other hand your idea and your pictures are good BUT they need some edits.Like we dont need stairs like that because for example one president can kill the enemy by dropping some nades.But Admins can handle them.so my vote is
+1

So it is done then that as all of you have liked the map the final thing is that jonne takes the map data from me and pastes it into the game mode which only takes 5 mins.
I happened to send him a PM regarding this but got no reply back.

Well good effort on it! It is looking nice, but the question is how this map update bring us more fun in PTP?

Because the house looks like just a house at beach with helicopter base on roof and some rooms inside house which can be easily reached by enemies. A bunch of terrorists with granades easily can kill president there.

I was waiting for more complicated penthouse like as corridors, stairs to reach upside, more blocking map items which brings some challange. I mean an Area 51 version on ground which president can easily camp there and makes it challange to kill president in the penthouse.

Idea is good, but this penthouse is not fits idea. I think you should improve it more.
Title: Re: [Mapping] Penthouse near the beach in the LS Main map
Post by: Carg on November 26, 2017, 12:51:33 pm

I thought the same, but such mapping would make us remove other objects and Jonne is totally against that.


Seraph I like your idea and I already suggested to make some new spots for presidents, because I think that the game mode is supposed to help the president survive, not to give so much advantage to the terrors, and I had some great ideas about making some small forts in some maps (Not LS, LS is probably one of the maps with the most places to camp), but like NSA WV(because I got tired of president camping in the same spots over and over :D), RC and FC (most of the places are really small and don't give much cover to the president and its team). So my idea is to make it somehow more difficult for the terrorist to kill the president, since the gamemode is protect the president, not kill the president.


Btw no offense,  your plan for this house is great, but what you made doesn't really satisfy my expectations.

When I suggested this idea to Jonne and some admins, Jonne told me that he would like to keep our maps like it is now,  but having this topic makes me think that players actually want new areas to camp as president. So if Jonne changes his mind and let us make new spots, I would like to hear any suggestions you have. We can open new topic and share ideas, pictures and etc.

I don't really like neither the concept, nor your implementation, sorry. As it has already been said, there are a lot of interesting places on the map already, you just need to explore them. -1.

As much as I support mapping and like your mapped out penthouse, this is a tdm server and that would be more suitable on a freeroam.

I appreciate the time you took to make the map, and it does look cool, but I don't think it's a good idea to add custom maps to the game. So, we won't be adding this.
