Well, since my Deluge gamemode is unlikely to happen, I present to you FM_FISHTANK woo.
Should work with Flood and any derivatives.

What the hell?! This is bloody freaky! @_@
I'm a fish. Wheeeeee....

Great map. I love it.

Thanks. Disaster got the idea after playing rats maps with us on goldsrc. I found one of the horrific BSPs he sent me of it recently (with a txt file saying what it was supposed to do), and for a laugh I decompiled it and put all the entities in. (and fixed all the textures and brushwork)

I haven't played the map yet but it's looking really cool :)
nice work

cool idea

I swear them bloody people stood up and tapped on the glass, I was turned away though.

They were supposed to do a number of things like wander about, interact with each other and tap on the glass, but I wasn't sure how to do that and couldn't be bothered to learn at the time.
If someone could give me a good tutorial on scripted sequences, I'll make a v2.
The wiki explains pretty much how they work, but I'm not entirely sure how you'd do something like "grab two actors, make them talk then have a fight and have a third one run over and break them apart"
or if that's even possible.

Make a gif texture of it somehow and surround the tank with that? I don't know. Anyway, that map looks pretty damn sexy.

I think not, but thanks for the input.

Does the water go above the castle or under? I would hope so or it would be easily exploitable.

Above, by about a player length and a half.

I know about Floodmod and what-not, but if you have the gamemode on Sandbox for example, will the water still automatically rise or not?

That is such a good idea.

Wow this is creative!

to get the water to rise, you need to put "ent_fire water open" into console when cheats are on. You will start drowning as soon as the water is at the top. "ent_fire water close" will make the water sink to the floor again, but you won't stop drowning when in the water until the water is completely down, due to an oversight.

Sweet.

Hoshit over a thousand downloads. I never expected this to be so popular.

Can I be GayFish?

Wow thats kinda freaky in many ways,like random type of creepy.Good map though,I like the idea :P

I love that song now

The thing I love most about this map is that you can no-clip out of the tank. Then you can look around in the darkness for the room and mess around in there. Once you go back to the fish tank its all changed on the outside...

I think you should make a copy of the room in the sky-box with a fish-tank in it, but smaller so that people can walk outside of the tank and look in and have a render-target camera on each side of the glass to send the image to each other. Then you can play as a big person looking in the tank, or a small person looking out. You could also put a door that teleports you into the tank. Do you get what I am saying?

wow well never thoght that some one whould make something like this well its cool good for flood mod you know you can make more flood maps like this

Haha this is awesome! The castle can be greatly improved on but other than that everything is perfect XD

If you noclip into the TV, you arrive in the room fast, rather than having to look for it.
I think I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure it'd work. Also you can only have one camera going at a time, unfortunately.
You want me to make more flood maps? I guess I could, there aren't that many good ones.
What's wrong with mah castle? >:

Also, again, thanks to the 14 hundred people who have downloaded this map so far.
I'm really stunned at how popular it is. I actually came fairly close to never releasing it. >_>;
I've never tried it on a proper flood server, only in singleplayer on my deluge gamemode. Does it work properly?

The castle is blocky but that's ok it's still great, a different water texture would look good though, the gm_construct water would be PERFECT

Unfortunately, according to the Valve wiki, if you use any other seethru water texture on a func_water_analogue, everything underwater will fuck up. ):
Also it's quite hard to make a small castle smooth using only brushwork. If I knew how to model, then maybe I could make a far nicer one.
That said, I might learn to model as I just had an idea for a flood map set in a nuclear reactor, and hl2 doesn't have any nuclear props. :v

Oh you're right, sorry XD I forgot about how source hates seeing the sides of water. Epic map anyway XD

Thanks :)

When I try this map, people get stuck in eachother on spawn (only 1 spawn point)

Looks awsome, ima download asap

They really shouldn't, there are about 70 spawns.

this map is ok, but should have an underground sewer type of place under the castle.

also if you could, get the npcs to walk up to u or tap on the glass or something.

...How many fishtanks do you know with a sewer in them?
And I plan to have the npcs walk about when I learn how to.

2k downloads fuck yeah~

it would be cool like a secret underground tunnel system going to another fishtank....just an idea =)

I guess it would be kinda cool, but not particularly useful for Flood.

Good idea, well implemented. Good job.

instead of adding a sewer, how about adding a filter system that you could walk through!

It wouldn't be a very good filter system if it allowed the fish to go through it, would it?

yes

:2:

Sure it would.

Well filters are supposed to stop things going through, hence the filtration part.

F$%K YEAH.

This would be a good map for go fish too.
Remember go fish?

Surely you've seen Finding Nemo...

EXaCtLy...

... but maybe a secret button can shut off the filter...

Yes, and they had to shut off the filter system to stop it crushing, mincing and filtering him.

If I remember correctly, he used pieces of gravel to stop it up.

Use some from Counterstrike Source, it is pretty much a standard for GMOD anyways.

Make a filter that crush, mince and filter the player then
