Next Gen RP Map

[Luke Brink]

So Garry's Mod 2 is in the works (It's not going to be called Gmod 2 and it's using Unreal Engine 4 rather than Source 2) assuming a City RP style gamemode makes it over to the next Gmod, we would need a nice RP map to go with it.

I'm hoping to start the initial planning stages for a Gmod2 RP map this week. I know it's still very early but this allows me to take my time and make sure the map is fully polished by the time RP gamemodes start releasing.

With that in mind, I have a couple of questions for the community.

1. What features would you like to see in a next gen RP map ?
2. How big do you think the map should be ?
3. What environment would you like the map to be set in (Coastal city, mountain state similar to Evo, etc)

This doesn't mean the map will be used by Fearless or any other RP servers, however the map will be released for free for servers to use.

I'd honestly love a huge mountain area with a small village on it.

Than an inner City, a real big one with some Skyscrapers (destrucable for RPs).

Another small Village somewhere in the Woods outside of the City and than a beach.


These are the first Things coming into my mind when thinking about the perfect map.

Have you got a source on "Garry's Mod 2"? but yeah a map would be cool.

I would like to see a city somewhat the same as on the Evocity maps, there should be one place or road where people would gather around.
Outside the city, there should be a forest and maybe a small hill on a big hill or mountain. A small lake or sea with boats would also be great to see.
Although decorations and different amusement things might look cool when making the map, it isn't necessarily the best, since it is gmod. People like to create their own things and decoration.
This size of the map shouldn't be too big as it would be hard to fill out.

Making it all on a big mountain as Peekay suggested sounds awesome too.

There's an active thread on the FP forums too about the next map editor

Layla has confirmed it's UE4 and she regularly posts engine updates / progress pictures so it's worth following the thread if you're interested in seeing small updates.

Those articles are from 2015 and the FP thread you mentioned seemed like it was more of a private project rather than an official one, unless I missed something.

It's Garry Newman straight up confirming that they are making a new Gmod, I'm not sure what more you want. A game takes time to create.

Not only that, someone asked if the next gmod will be able to load Source 1 content and she replied

We want to move away from source 1 content but I'll be working on tools to make it easy to convert content you already have to formats we want you to use. If it's not something we decide to include then there's nothing stopping someone from making an external tool but we don't want to encourage loading of source 1 formats directly.

emphasis on "We" (She is FP staff)

I understand people will have doubts until they straight up announce it.
