WIP Beta released gm_bigcity

GM Big City from Garry's Mod
Original Author of it - Bigwig
Most of work converting made by Digitalexplorations (afaik, found already .obj model on p3dm site by apcmods)
Small part of work by me, here's some screenshots

 

can you put city car driving old citymap in bea mng

 

Nah, it's really be tough process if use some ripper and clue all parts together, different way to get this map i don't know..

 

Real, great idea for map)

 

this is pretty sick ngl.
when you go to the cursed coffee shop does your car fly backwards

 

This is really nice!

 

it is, great in topdown mode too
feels like gta2

 

This is cool.

 

This is so great! Are you planning some more exports from gmod?

 

Gmod have some good maps for driving and just scenery, i would like to convert at least a few but for now only i can do is convert a mesh without textures, still complicated with hl2/gmod texture images that needed to work properly. Early i tried to make a gm_carconstruct using Crafty and (wow) SketchUp (also 3dsmax sometimes) to get only mesh to work with, it has few texture on it but still wip and dunno if i comeback to it (found only that non ingame screen)

 

I always loved driving cars in games that were never really explicitly meant to have vehicles. It would be a lot of fun to mess around with maps in an incredibly advanced physics engine. The Hellbender Race maps from Unreal Tournament 2004 come to mind. Also the last level in Halo 1 where you're driving through the belly of The Pillar of Autumn would be a fun and challenging experience in a D-Series lol.

 

You got my permission to port any of my Garrysmod maps if you want, most even use mostly royality free textures which is nice.

I would recommend Dunwood though it relies heavly on models and idk if that will export with the mesh.

curious, i know you gave permission to kekos, but is it limited to him only?

i took a look at your workshop, dunwood does look pretty interesting.
By pure coincidence i also ported GM_Bigcity about a month ago from p3dm, but i cancelled it after seeing this dude made it weeks before me lol.

If you still got the original map project files and i dont gotta bother with ripping it from gmod, id love to port at least one of your maps for sure, even wangan looked nice and fun to play in beamng.

this rip of GM_Bigcity was a literal 5 min job because of the way it was ripped. all textures was assigned to an .obj and after exporting it to dae i didnt even have to bother setting up the materials as it all just worked right out of the box just like that.
so it probably will take longer for a map with separated assets.

Let me know if its of any interest to you.




Also, @kekos
do you plan on adding ai roads?
also atmospheric effects? like ambient sounds n such like the map has?
modding takes a while so i completely understand but ive been curious to find out how that all works
when i started the port of the map last month ish i wanted to get those in, altho i got no clue how but its a learning process im planning on learning at some point when ill have the time.

 

as a fellow gmod player myself i love both new exton and rp dunwood still my favorite gmod maps of all time.

 

Yeah sure to whoever is interested, yeah Gm_wangan might import eaiser due to it mostly being made of brushes.

Haha thanks

 

Ambient sounds (also creepy ones) - i would like to, already exist in folder but i didn't place them as it was in gmod. About AI roads idk how to make it right so i will not make plans. Also don't have much time for now to polish map.

 

But how?


Also i found a secret in this map its in the tower but this easter egg is from the gmod one
