It's not a bad idea, but everyone's going to have different addons and models and skins, so by the time we get to user 7, users 1-6's offices are going to be filled with ERROR, and there will be a stream of lua errors thirty miles wide.

Aye FZE does have a good point, but if we where to do this then people would have to include any custom models/textures/scripts ect. that they used, though yeah I think we need a new HQ map, the other one is okay but...

It could be done better.

Fortresses always seem awesome when you build from nothing, but when you look back at what you've created, there's always so much you think should change but you're too lazy to.

Doom Fortress Awesome has an olympic swimming pool at its center. And now, as I look back, I ask myself why.

Well then Would it make sense to limit to one specific addon or maybe a spawnlist native to Gmod?
Cause I've been going through the various things included with Gmod that are on there now like the Age of Chivalry content and the Dsytopia stuff,
I don't have EITHER of those games and there's a million and one things that would be not only useful, but look rather nice, given a well made map with proper lighting.
Just a thought, I know it's not much, but come on, it's coming from your Janitor for crying out loud.
In all seriousness though, I just thought it would be nice, and we could work towards a better, more well-founded Union.
That and I wouldn't have to clean so much damn crap out of people's offices.

Well I'm not poo-pooing the idea if thats what you think, I kind of like the Idea of a group map that is made by/ideas are given by the group. Of course I've just got to get my curruent srs busness put of the way first

We're getting a Lobby?
Wait, but then who's going to man the post of the Front Desk?
Damnit, this means I'm going to have to clean even more places.
Have you even SEEN the basement?
It took me a MONTH just to clean the damn stairs!

But Anyways;
Yeah, if it ever becomes a possibility, I'd really wanna at least try the idea of a group design for individual offices/rooms n' such.

Flash the only corpses we have are of all your dead clones.
And I get to complain because I work,
unlike some lazy ass cooks around here.

All right, I mocked up that lobby:

Posted Image

The giant globe will have the logo around it, think the BDU logo but the laurels are wings that surround the globe.

The fountain is obviously a secret pillbox, the planters at the top of the stairs individual fighting positions.

The door at the top of the spiral stairs leads to the offices, the one below to the barracks. The two stairways in the upper platform lead to various functional areas.

I still don't know what to do about a receptionist's desk.
