One of the SS1 mods I am working on takes place in a city (New Atlanta to be specific), and I am trying to get a layout for a city. Problem is SS1 has a view distance limit, so I need to block off sections of the city to make it work. and with this limitation I can't seem to find a layout that I like, I have tried 3 times and am on my 4th attempt and IDK what to do other than keep trying till I get something I like.

So if anyone has any ideas I am all ears.

Making a believeable city sounds like mission impossible. I would try to constrain to a few very dense walled-off sections (think Kowloon city) within a single block, limiting open areas to alleys and small courtyards. You could also make it take place in an arcology and have all of your city functions spread vertically across a single building.

There has been numerous Doom 2 city level wads released over the years. I dunno how the SS1 engine would cope in comparison (especially as it has harder restrictions than the Doom sourceports).

Some examples:

dertsehaI think I want to do new atlanta, which is fictional so I can't exactly go off of real life

ZylonBaneProblem is, SS1 doesn't have a view distance fade quite as seamless.

If you mean pop in then basically it just fades into existence in front of you

each post has a fully functional edit button, btw.

So, can I announce a mod early on its own page and have it on the mod pages even if I don't release it yet, just to gather feedback as it is made, or would it need to be finished or have a download first?

It's just nicer from a viewing perspective, and fills up less of a page. Double posts given context are fine, but beyond that it's good to have them all in one post.
