Gm_TowerOfTerror

Finally, after about 2 months of hard work it is finished. Gm_TowerOfTerror is a complete recreation of the "Tower Of Terror" attraction in Disney MGM Studios Florida. It has a fully working ride and preshow with many cool effects just like the real version, complete with high quality recordings.

To begin the preshow, go into the library room and wait 20 seconds, the doors will close and a few seconds later the show will start on the tv.

INSTALLATION
To install, just extract the gmod9 folder in the .zip over your gmod9 folder.

CREDITS
All credits go to me, heyo, as the maker of this map.

VERY IMPORTANT
Make sure you set net_maxfilesize 40 if you're playing the map in multiplayer to allow people to download the map.


SCREENSHOTS

Whoa, that's amazing. I've been there, so this is extra special for me =D

Very nice! I will give it a try later but it looks extremely nice. Great job!

Very good job on this! It are prettyful.

I've been there too, that's a very sweet ride, tell you something, I had a special ed person sitting next to me, and that person was drueling a lot, I really thought he was going to puke on me.

Holy. Nice work man! this is one of the best looking maps i have seen. all the lights look great and if i could give you 10000000 of of .0000001 i would.

I like the map, but I hate Disney.

*looks at username*

Uh.... Awesome!

Wow, that's REALLY good!

WOAH! I didn't think it'd be possible! Nice intro!

AWESOME! Nice work

Didn't someone already make the tower of doom a ways back?

I'm searching to see if I can find it..

I live in Orlando, FL... Awesome map, I love it.

There was a tower of terror for counterstrike but that one was confusing, and seeing as it was made as a counterstrike map, it didn't have the full ride.

Yeah, I found it anyways.

Not trying to degrade your map, just supplying info.

Holy shit this is really nice! It looks like the real deal.

It looks a little blocky but on a scale of one to ten on blockyness i would say 0.5/10.

I found out he had made a tower of terror map half way through development of my version. I almost quit working on it because of this, but my version is arguably better in some ways.

Like my ride is has the actual audio from the real thing and it's more like the real ride.

Someone host a server :D

After playing it, the map is incredibly well put together. It has many details which are very good. The effects and general ambience is perfect for the map.

The only few things that I would suggest is, add more random grass sprites in the grass to make it more lively and less propped out looking. Also, make some of your edges clipped off at 1.5 perfect 45 degree angles. it makes the map feel less blocky and more like stucco.

Just a few things to improve on. Otherwise, very nice, keep up the nice work.

Got my server up. Apollo's server :D feel free to join :D.

Great map. Reminds me of the movie so much. A very good effort.

What's your server password... umm... please?

I remember playing a old de_towerofterror that looked like this before. But that was for Counter Strike Source. This one looks nicer.

This was a very good job, man. It's really fun to use Jetboom's grappling hook SWEP with and try to get to the top of the tower only shooting the hook at the building. Anyways, good map.

Holy shit! Insane work!

Wow! My mind is forever lost in "The Twilight Zone". Great map, do you plan on making any other's?

Nice. But it's a little bording because the ride is the only thing there. Also I faund a few tree that are floating and a few error.

Wow! This map is awesome and is very detailed. The only flaw is that on floating tree. Keep up the good work!

Very well done, marvellous work. I went back through the ride a good six or seven times as soon as I got off.

Also make it more detailed.

If you want something to do, mess with the ride. For instance, I noclipped to the place where the video is shot and put in the elevator that opens a toilet and barney sitting on it with a newspaper. It was hillarious, you had to be there.

I just went to California adventure last week! Nice map!

Great map. I stayed on the ride and got boundary killed and flew through the door hehe. I'm making a server with this map on it.

Looks alright.

Did He? Cause the ride was diffrent, and the Original map had 2 rooms instead of 1.

Play it and you'll see it's architecture is way diffrent.
Besides, I was talking to heyo when he was first starting it, here's an early WIP picture for proof.

Never mind...

He posted pictures of his map a while ago, and when compared to Nipper's version, the scaling is different.

Woopdy doo, I was a noob back then.

Well hey, todays sitcoms copy them early sitcom jokes. There's almost none things that wouldn't been done earlier somewhere.

I did not know it was already made and found out half way through making mine. Also, why the hell would I take an already made map and completely retexture it from the inside out, completely change the scaling and shape of everything, change the rooms all around, make a completely new preshow video, and change tons of other things?

Oh, and I suppose I just took everything out of the map, stripped it down and retextured it just to make it look like I had a WIP version?

The reason the maps are similar is because they're both based on the same real life thing. I started from scratch and made the map completely on my own without even knowing about Nippers version.

It's a pretty stupid assumption to think I would do such a thing as steal a map.
