I'm using Autodesk Inventor, a 3-D modeling program, to do this so that we have horizontal and vertical positioning possible. I'm using a 1:10 scale, that is, 1 inch in the model = 10 feet on the map. Now, we already know that Rain Genetics has an outer wall and at least two buildings, one with a control tower/communications mast. Questions I need answered: How thick is the outer wall? How tall is the outer wall? How many entrances are there, besides the main entrance? How large is the area inside the wall? How much area does A Building cover? How many stories tall is A Building, not including the tower? How many stories tall is the tower? How much area does the tower cover? How many stories tall is the communications mast? How are the B Building and A Building positioned relative to each other? How much area does B Building cover? How many stories tall is B Building? I'll add to this list as things come up. I will accept input from anyone, but I reserve final judgment on measurements. ~~Also, I will not model any area over 500 square meters.~~ As Giul is GM, any measurement he gives me I will consider final and not up for discussion. The map will be posted as soon as I finish it. There will be tags for locations on the 3D map, but they will be limited to what building a character is in and what story he is at. I will also create 2D maps for the inside areas of the buildings, to aid in navigation, etc. This is what has been decided so far: YARD: 500ft by 600 ft (30,000 square ft), measuring from inside surface of outer wall WALL: 3ft thick BUILDINGS: A Building - Labs/Storage: F6: Guard tower walkway access F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint F4-F1: Labs (There'll be a large 4 story lab used for testing/observation/subject detention. Remember, Rain Genetics is eeeebul.) Also will have adjoining 2-story security checkpoint/guard barracks/Security Control Room. B1: Quartermaster/Scientific Storage B2: Equipment Storage/Access Tunnels B Building - Residential/Offices F6: Guard tower walkway access F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint F4-F3: Residential F2-F1: Offices Main: Double-height Atrium/Offices B1: Storage B2: Garage/Access Tunnels C Building - Library and Supercomputer F2: Mainframe Terminal F1: Library Access/Mainframe Security Checkpoint B1: Maintenance B2: Maintenance/Access Tunnels D Building - Power Plant F1: Power Control Room/Security Checkpoint B1: Fuse Room/Maintenance B2: Maintenance/Access Tunnels Rain Genetics Compound Features Cafeteria: Two, large one in B Building and small one in A Building. Workout rooms: Somewhere on the residential levels of B Building. Also, the yard is large enough that people can take a run around the inside of the walls for exercise. That's 2km or 1.2 miles. Library/Supercomputer: I'm thinking more that the supercomputer would be in it's separate high-security building, with a low-security annex that acts as a library...think Star Wars-style library, no books, just terminals. Terminals: Scattered throughout the buildings, fairly densely in A Building (one or two in each lab, depending on its size), and a little less dense in B Building. C Building would have a mainframe terminal. Gun Cage: This'd be in A Building, on B1 with the Quartermaster. Employee Parking: Some in the garage on B2 in B Building, but the majority is outside in the yard. Spoiler: click to toggle The Access tunnels do not have free access, as you enter each building there is a security checkpoint. Spoiler: click to toggle There are automated turrets throughout the complex. When power is restored, we should have Marian or Ozzie turn the powerplant back on, while the rest wait in the Security Control Room, where security badges can be manufactured for all players.

I would say the group is on the ground floor where the security is the most lenient, I'm not sure how many floors it will be, but i'll be sure that you climb the stairs fast enough. hope this helps a bit..

Horned Rogue Posts: 187 Group: Members Member #383 Joined: 14 August 2009	Well, it'll help for the 2D maps, but "large" and "very large" aren't very specific. "Many" isn't very specific either. Mostly, I'm asking for opinions on how large it should be, how tall, etc., etc.

Offices and residential areas above that, with the third floor for storage and the fourth for the guard towers. The wall should be about 3 feet thick, with the inner courtyard surrounding the building being... Something of 500 By 600? Or maybe a bit more reasonable. At least two floors of stairs for each level with a service stair and elevators, but not working. A warehouse somewhere on premise... Anything else?

Horned Rogue Posts: 187 Group: Members Member #383 Joined: 14 August 2009	Alright, sounds good & large. I'll work on it some when I don't have homework. Warehouse will be up for discussion once A building and B Building are finished. By floors of stairs, you mean flights, right? Right now I'm working on a general shape 3D model, I'm NOT modeling the inside in 3D, THAT will be as 2D maps. Edited by dragonshardz, 21 Sep 2009, 07:28 PM.

Horned Rogue Posts: 187 Group: Members Member #383 Joined: 14 August 2009	Actually. third floor as storage doesn't make sense. This is a scientific installation, what if you drop some acid on the floor? Also, it wouldn't make much sense to be carrying chemicals through residential/office areas. So, here's the floor breakdown: A Building - Labs/Storage: F6: Guard tower walkway access F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint F4-F1: Labs (There'll be a large 4 story lab used for testing/observation/subject detention. Remember, Rain Genetics is eeeebul.) Also will have adjoining 2-story security checkpoint/guard barracks. B1: Quartermaster/Scientific Storage B2: Equipment Storage/Access Tunnels B Building - Residential/Offices F6: Guard tower walkway access F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint F4-F3: Residential F2-F1: Offices Main: Double-height Atrium/Offices B1: Storage B2: Garage/Access Tunnels I'll be doing the 2D map of the yard first, to help get an idea of spacing. We have 30,000 square feet to work with inside the yard, but much of it will probably be taken up by plaza and park areas. Once I get an idea of how much space each building so far will take up I'll post how much room we have left to work with. -Patrick from America

Posts: 1,503 Group: Moderator Member #30 Joined: 17 February 2008	Instead of making single offices...i'd make chained cubicle office workspaces. I know oyu said you woouldn't do more than 500 sq m but...this is more realisitic. Obviously you'd have manager offices and other rooms off of it and such.

Horned Rogue Posts: 187 Group: Members Member #383 Joined: 14 August 2009	Well, of course there'd be single offices and cubicle farms. F2-F1 in B Building is cubicle farms and some single offices, while the upper level of the atrium has large single person offices. I do know what I am doing, I've made maps for RPGs before. Also, 500 square meters is a little on the low side now that I think of it; I'm doing a yard area that is 30,000 square feet which comes out to 9144 square meters. I'll update the first post in a minute or two, I'm still working on the 2D maps of the yard and first floor of each building, I'll get a start on the 3D yard and outer walls this weekend.

Horned Rogue Posts: 187 Group: Members Member #383 Joined: 14 August 2009	No, no, it's fine Luemas. I'll try the 500600 foot first, then if that doesn't work I'll do my 500500 meter. Wait...hold on... crunches the numbers okay, 500 feet by 500 feet is 250,000 square feet. 500 feet by 600 feet is...oops, dropped a zero...300,000 square feet 500 meters is 1640.4 feet 1640.4*1640.4=2,690,912 square feet. 500 meters square is 250 meters on a side, or 820.2 feet on a side...times itself...which is 672,728 feet square. Anyways, Luemas, I'll be going with your measurement as they are well under my limit.

They probably also generate their own power so that they're not vulnerable to a blackout. That power would be off now, but they could get it back online. Things to think about: cafeteria, workout rooms, library, computer terminals, gun cage, employee parking...
