This is a construct map I've been working on about 4 days.
Because the current construct does not have much space for boats and submarines, i made this and added some sweet upgrades.

I tried to create a nice contrast between the yellowish ambient lighting and
the turquoise water, and have a cold atmosphere in the underwater garage.
I added the glass sheets to make that area to feel more open.
I also created more depth to the 3d skybox with the mountains and the
buildings behind them fading into the fog.

Anyway i don't feel like talking crap now, let's move into the screenshots. :excited:








The night version.

C&C, also rate if you like. :)

I think it looks sexy

Thank you.

Your welcome

Dude, I love you. Unfortunately, I don't have Ep 2, but fuck that's amazing! You deserve a king award!

Oh god, the amount of download is increasing way too fast. :uhoh:

I took a look at the pictures, and one second later I downloaded it.
Awesome!

Edit:

Why do I need EP2? :(

That underwater hangar is awesome

Edit:

And the floor windows

Dunno, had to put something in the requirements tab.

Edit:

Thanks.

Actually looks way better than garry's :)

NONBELIEVER!!

Burn the heretic!!

Hey, this looks nice, think you can make a new version with no water, that would be great :D

Then what's the difference between the normal construct?

Yeah I am a satanist and agnostic etc.

Add A.I. nodes so the Strider can walk around and this will be a winner. In the meantime, have a map king!

Nice map

There wouldn't be much land for a strider anyway.

can't you make a non-ep2 version?

I think the lighting is a bit off.

SHOOP DA WHOOP
I love it!I mean downloading now!Is that really destructable wooden house? :O

Holy shit.

Dude.

I ♥ you.

I generally don't download anything if it isn't awesome enough to waste my time on, but this is just awesome, so i've downloaded it.

Texturing on the wooden house is a bit crap, but apart from that it's awesome.

I'm glad to see so many interesting construct maps all of a sudden. My only suggestions are to do some double checking on your brushwork as there's a couple inconsistencies/cracks and give the displacements a little more TLC, especially the island. Other than that, you've done a bang up job creating a unique gm_construct alternative.

I've been waiting for a map like this for a long long time. Thank you!

I'm at school right now (Algebra II :() And a few of the pictures I cannot see...the blocker says "pornography" THIS MAP MUST BE SEXY

HAHAH, fucking win.

Looks Very nice nVidia ! Downloading NOW !

Oh god, 3rd most popular thread right now.

well, gotta go, i have houses to blow up. :)

Is that a screenshot of the house destroying scene from EP2 ?
Is it in the map somehow?

It's in the map somehow. :)

(if you want to blow it up, look at the green button and type this into the console sv_cheats 1;ent_fire !picker unlock;sv_cheats 0
you need to be an admin to do this.)

gm_construct flooded because of global warming!

Damn you Al Gore!!

i haven't even finished downloading this map but i can tell it's gonna own.

Downloaded and installed. I haven't played on it yet because I'm SVN updating all my stuff but I can tell it's gonna own already. Mapping King'd

I don't have EP2 so I can't play with this map, but it looks truly awesome. Internets for you, good sir.

Very creative, it is a great map unless you have a directX7 graphics card.

So THAT is the problem!
I was wondering why it didn't work.
But it only blows up once :( do the red buttons do anything?
Can you make the house reset?

Very, very nice. :D

Get rid of the little island outcropping and all my base are belong to you.

Would you be willing to make a nighttime alternative of this excellent map?

Dunno, does peoples like it?

Edit:

The red buttons are for me, i can blow it up without cheats on.

This map is really nice but yer haven't got around to buying Orange Box :)

I know I do. :) As a guy who works an overnight job I usually game at night as well, so to me I enjoy night maps to build on where I can set up some spotlights like a construction crew in the late hours. Your gm_flatgrass_dark map comes to mind, which is also a favorite.

Meow [/Hoping that I am doing it correctly]

Great looking map, will download it... now! Will play in it... some other time!

I really like the map, I downloaded it yesterday and tried.
If you get time over, can't you make another one :D?
It could be the same, just that you make the map bigger, so there will be more water :)! Gold star for you!

If you don't have the orange box, but you do have garrysmod 10 up to date, you should be able to play this map, you can see few error models tough.

Edit:

Some fun I've had in this map!

Nice nVidia.

Oh, sweet. I think I saw the concept design of this in the "Wikification of Gm_Construct" thread.

Downloaded, and Mapping King'd.

Is this the map that looks exactly like mine? :D

Nice job on it!

Yes this is the picture you we're talking about.

This is an excellent map! I love the lighting!

Excellent map indeed. One of the best construct i've seen. You deserve a mapping king :D

Unfortunately, I don't have EP2 so I get model and textures errors ... but it's awesome anyways!

ps Could you maybe consider making a non-ep2 version ? without those sexy looking trees :(

Buy the episode2, you won't regret it. :)

It's too much for me right now, I'm from Argentina and the exchange rate it's around 1 USD = 3.10 ARS , minimum salary around here it's like 900 ARS , do the maths.

I also have to buy a new graphic card, wich will be a temporal one (8600GT-OC) wich is around 170 USD, do the maths again

So i won't be getting EP2 for a long time :(

Oh man... the... amount of... downloads is... increasing... too... FAST!!! :tizzy:

I would buy it for pc but i already have it for 360 but i might get it soon anyway just for gmod

Hey nVidia , I know you know me :excited: it's cool that I'm in some pictures :)
mapping king'd . I know we play this map nearly every day now on your server nvidia but I know the red button code!

No... you can't know the pass...

Excellent map. :)

More pics :tizzy:

Escuse me, but I don't know how to install this package of map...
Thanks for your reply...


PS: I'm french, so I try to speak english better. :s

There is maybe an other forum for this asking...

Extract the content of the zip file into "garrysmod/garrysmod"

I don't have "garrysmod/garrysmod"...
I just have "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\gmod9".
Even if I extract "gm_construct legacy" in "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\gmod9" What I have to do after?

Forget it, this map is made for ep2 engine, and your game will crash if you try to run it with old source engine.

I need HL² Episode 2?

You need gmod10. It's just 9$..

Name:
Gm_Construct2008

Version:
1

Description:
A construct map with space for boats.

Requirements:
Episode2


I really need Episode2 ?

Thanks!!

Well, if you don't like seeing errors and missing textures then yes.

So i don't really need Ep2
But I need Gmod 10?

If you don't like errors then yes.

and

what's the purpose of this map without gmod10?

This is the purpose To not crash.

No purpose :( ...
Ok, Too bad for me...
Thank you for your help!!

YAY, this map is on the "Popular" list in garrysmod.org

Looks like somebody ran out of mapping ideas.

OH MAN IS tHiS WAY WAY BETTER THAN GARRY NEWMAN's GM_CONSTUCT plus i have orange box (if you have that then you hav HL2 E1 & 2)

nVidia, this is awesome, I'm off to play it now, brb

Garrysmod.org is slower than ever now.

Sorry for my lack of spelling, I noticed that your map is in the "Popular" section. Congrats!

Edit:

Laugh out loud, sorry, ill stop with the incorrect spelling. Anyway, nice job on the map! I downloaded it and its wonderful!

Yer Nvidia, you are right I did run out of ideas but I didn't know your map existed with that name, and I know you think it is rubbish beacuse I looked at your chat :D anyway sorry!

Sorry for saying bad things about your map but just to ask why did you take the pics on css and not gmod?

If you are talking to me because i made the map in css
