It was done but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I can make it better.

Oh sorry when you were asking about it I thought it wasnt done. I like it but go ahead and do more if you want. Let me know when you're done and I'll add it.

For the Citadel's support cables, they'll need to be spread around the tower, right? Probably can't connect all seven to buildings within a couple blocks of each other.

Also, where is the Ninja Turtle buying pizza from a manhole? Did he not make it in for some reason, or am I just blind and unable to find him?

I remember putting that somewhere.

Actually maybe I didn't, weren't you complaining about the car or something?

I did the best I could on this but I still think it could use some cleanup. Feel free to do that if that's your thing.

Mainly the curb on the ramps for the side corners needs work. Also none of the sidewalk lines lined up properly (except at the top) and the 2:1 was actually off by a pixel on the right side (of the original roads/intersection). And of course the center could use something, as well as a bunch of confusing-rear end arrows and signs.

I want to use this but it needs to have corners that fit the building plots.

I'm going to add some more animals tomorrow and add some people in there

Edit: I'm also going to make a gate/bridge tomorrow I think.

Give the island some land on the outside of the fence too, make it look like it's rising out of the water a bit you know?

Just saying, for a sense of consistency all traffic lights and signs will need to be Australian/American/European/Whatever.

Shak, I update my original Citadel image with a Strider, could you stick it in there for me? Thanks in advance.

Also how do you plan on doing the cables? It would probably work better if you just drew them straight onto the combined picture instead of me trying to arbitrarily draw one and seeing if it fits. A couple of my posts have the in-game tower with the cables for reference.

And I liked the idea of having the shadow over fields for simplicity. I'm not exactly sure how to do shadows, someone will have to do this for the Citadel.

I'll figure the shadows and cables out when it's all done. Who knows how things will move around.

Not too happy with having to make the corners poke out like that but I had to to make it fit and still look like cars could go around it.

Roundabouts only need room for 1 car so the road could be a little smaller in the middle part, that way the corners don't overlap. Sorry about making you redo it but I can't use the roads if buildings can't go around them

Added two more bots and Hal (The cockroach ), a dirt mound, and while I'm still annoyed at the open space I don't really have anything to fill it with, every time I try to make a mound of garbage it looks like crap.

...and not in the way I intend, either. I'd be crazy grateful if someone could build a trash heap with the famous fridge buried in it, but other than that I'm satisfied; I've reached diminishing returns on the effort:output ratio.

As far as location goes, I'd prefer something near the center, like where the Portal Bridge is- but my big plot's gonna get in the way. But I'm more than happy that I got in on this project!

Edit: oo, near the pyramids!

I made a spot for it but your road is off, if you could move it and give me the new one that would be swell.

Why not just make yours the Blue Team's instead of the Red Team's? That way, both 2forts can be in the city.

I was going to say this. Also who cares if it's already been made by someone else, I expect TF2 characters and maps all over the city dammit!

Here is the city so far in its most recent version.

If I've missed something let me know, for some reason some pictures havent been showing up for me. The little guys from doom for example I only saw because they were in a quote, so I don't know whats going on with some things.

WALDO HAS MOVED!

Edit: I started working on last nights submissions 2 hours and 45 minutes ago, so it takes a while to update. Most people leave guides and stuff in so all that has to be taken out. It's looking pretty swell so far though

I think the citadel guy wants you to fix the positions of the anchors on the coon city map so he can draw them in himself.

Well hopefully the ones in place now will stay there, but who knows.

The cables in the picture appear small because the Citadel is so huge. The closest comparison I can think of for them is 3 foot diameter steel cable used in things like suspension bridges. Some also have a small cable stretched underneath them for some odd reason. And they kinda hang off the Citadel, instead of being taut like normal tension lines.

Once enough people (7) edit the anchor into their photo, all that needs to be done is to have their buildings moved into positions as close as possible to the original layout, then the cables can just be drawn in by you, since you have that massive file already on your computer.

I'm working on a quick sample I'll put it up when it's done.

For your next update, I believe the London section was updated slightly to include a shadow on Mary Poppins.

Yeah but the base was messed up so I didn't put it in. I thought that was getting redone too.

The Shadow is awesome, but the cables all have to come from near the deployment hangar (that cut out with the spindles at the center of the main tower). The one that comes off the very top just doesn't look right. Also maybe one more pixel of thickness on the cables.

Okay I'll play with them after some lunch.

I initially started this when the thread was on the first page, and have finally finished. I did intend to add more detail but smaller details started to make it feel too cluttered and noisy so I have left it clean and simple. I see that other people have made Mario themed tiles now so I hope there will be room for mine.

I couldn't decide between two variations on this so I am putting both up for you to decide Shakra. The first is more of an old school look that stays loyal to the NES game, whereas the second has some slight dithered shading that matches the lighting being used on other peoples buildings a bit more.

Unshaded version:

Slightly Shaded version:

Very cool. I think I like the shaded one better but its a close call.

Also don't worry about room. I can extend the map forever.

I was going to try and work on the shadow, but i couldn't make it work quite right...I didn't make that clear! Sorry!

http://salvo6.com/images/faucet.png

Well some of it is right and some of it is using gradients instead of dithering and some of it is antialiased, so I'm not sure if you just coppied something or if you traced shapes with anti-aliasing on or what. Nothing is consistent though. I like the concept but it needs cleaned up. If you aren't sure how or you just don't want to I'll still put it in, but if you can clean it up it will be noticable.

I hope this is okay so far? Still working hard on it:

It feels like all I have left is detailing (the roof; interior; grass/parking lot) and adding people. I started on some tables but I feel like I did them wrong, so I'll probably redraw them.

I like it a lot so far. I liked the sign better in the grass.
