In short this is a highly polished Vote Map Level.

The aim is to break just one of the many doors to Vote for a map.

The level has a build in "God Mode" feature so players can't kill each other.

There's a few hidden weapons to help break the doors, the more people breaking a single door the faster the choosen map will load/win the vote.

Install (simple)

To install download and extract all the maps in your \hl2mp\maps folder.

Load up HL2DM and run the map called: ob_gtamikes_vote_gallery_r1

That wall is certainly highly polished. Its a bit tooo polished in fact, it looks like plastic.

The green is also very overpowering. I would tone it down a bit. Perhaps change the walls to a more white color to help define the space.

I like the concept, though I'm not familiar enough with HL2 MP to know if votemaps as a concept is a common thing or not.

Is the breaking doors idea a gimmick for the map or common practice? Could you, for instance, place a button below each map picture and have players vote by hitting the button. Each time the button is pressed it would advance a ticker by one. Or would there be a problem with preventing players from being able to hit the button more then once?

Also, as advice as someone looking at this thread and not meant to be a jab at you or anything, shouldn't the phrase "highly polished" be reserved as a opinion of someone else and not as a self-promoting buzzword?

looks cool. maybe you could incorporate the text into the level instead of having it just be a UI looking thing. like make it a wooden sign with carved out letters.

and i agree that the bricks seem too reflective. unless its specifically coated brick?
