Thought I'd stake my claim while i sketch it.

I'm such an investor -_-

Oh yeah, how do i import sounds and make them play constantly?
... caus you know... theres nothing quite like mowing down the enemy with your crow-bar while listening to the sweet tunes of mall musak. It's so calming yet so enraging at the same time.

And waiting for the elevator while listening to elevator music is hilarious too. especially when youre carrying a rocket launcher and SLAMs.

... just funny images

You don't need to import, just need to place the sound in an appropriate directory and env_sound it.
I'm not too experienced with this in Half-Life 2, look up an example map or google it.

To get it to loop, you might need to add tags...there might be a loop flag too...I don't know, hopefully I gave you enough to make a good google search. :lol:

yea it helped me a lot with my map

go go gadget 5 minute sketch for justice
yup.

good start, but it looks kinda small :?

This would be cool for the center of the mall, but perhaps have it so that there's a walkway all around the opening on the 2nd floor. And perhaps from the left and right sides of that drawing the building goes back a little ways at a 30degree angle in opposite ways of each end.

(don't know if that'll show up right?) but something like that ..top view ... (don't mind the dots)

that 30 degree stuff made no sense

the pathway that goes between the two top floors is (i think) what youre talking about. I was going to make that whole thing a pron shop with a connection to the lower floor, on both sides, and top floor, on both sides.

Are the escalators gonna move? dunno if this can be done, but it'd be cool.

yes.
i want to make them move.
yes.
