I hate to be that guy, but would a version without all the political jokes be possible? Frankly, I'm playing this game in part to escape politics from both sides. Don't get me wrong, I agree that the current administration is mediocre, but I just want to blow up the place without feeling like it's more interested in riling people up than being blown up, you know?

This mod was on Steam Workshop and was removed because I was expressing my opinion and I wouldn't censor it for the boot. Had I left it it would be widely more popular. Who are YOU? I don't give two shits about you or anyone who is going to get their panties in this much of a wad over what I put in MY mod. You're pathetic,  and if you hated to be that guy you wouldn't post this dumbass comment. Go fish for your drama over on Twatter.

Only thing that sucks is that this guy's afraid of the vaccine.

And this moron doesn't know the difference between a mod site and Twitter. Go bitch over there.

why is there a covid mode

Because it's a touchy subject, it causes a bunch of lame people to REEE, it makes the good ones laugh, and ultimately I kind of get a lot of amusement out of watching people who assume a videogame mod was built to convey any kind of real life advice.

I'm having a problem downloading mods and I keep getting this 

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Supposedly this site is only allowing downloads from logged in users. That's what it looks like but you might send BlueDrake42 a message since obviously you have an account. I will look at hosting it on a VPS again. You can also find it on NexusMods

I saw this on Steam once but before I was able to download it someone deleted it, this is a lot of fun to destroy you did an excellent job creating this map.

It was deleted because the vaccine in the map, which is a joke, was deemed "offensive anti-vaccine propoganda" and the developers caved into people being complete snowflakes about it and they control the Steam content through the Workshop EULA. They do not control the content posted to this site, so updates will be pushed here instead. Having the Steam workshop keep the mod up-to-date was really nice, but I refuse to compromise with self-righteous authoritarians who don't like something in my mod, or the spineless cowards who did nothing to reach out to me for something that I actually included by accident (forgot to exclude a specific layer of test code), but ultimately I don't care, the mod was to a solid state by the time it was even published to Steam, so it was actually really good timing. Not only that, but considering it got enough REEEEEEE backlash to get it removed from Steam, I am actually more assured that I'm doing something right by pissing off the right people :P

there's no xml file how do i get one i will need it to change the map name to custom and make the xml file as custom.xml otherwise the map is just rip

You have to find a vendor to buy one from I reckon, rip indeed

I don't know if this is a bug, but in the green room on the upper floor, there is an indestructible portrait and rag doll of Donald Trump. I also can't destroy the flag? It falls and enters the building, but the flag and its pole are indestructible.

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there

Yep, the project is pretty new. Updates are made pretty often, so be sure to check back frequently!

Mmmhmmm and if you download my map you can explore it in Teardown

AngryChickens,

I meant the compliment genuinely. I have downloaded and played the map, and really did enjoy it! I understand your sentiment and what you're saying, although I might disagree on some points. That being said, I did not mean to publicly shame you, and I apologize if that is the effect my comment had. I agree, let's just enjoy some Teardown and make content that people can enjoy.

Sorry I took it that way, I just really did do a lot to rewrite the code, and it actually does work differently, so it almost came across like you want your name on the lua files I actually wrote, which doesn't seem right either. That being said, it was YOUR idea. I really just wanted to move us into a direction of offering the community here a way of achieving a good environment system, since I know Cobes spent a lot of time on managing various maps. I think if we can combine what we've done, we can save a lot more people a lot of time.

What do you say we take the environment system, extract it out to its own Mod project on this site and others if you want (in your name), put a license on it (however you want to do that) and make one mod that's really good at this one thing (starting the map with specific layers from the savegame.mod registry)?

Hey, nice map! It's cool to see someone else use my weather options system! Although some credit would be nice 🙂

Hi Gabe,

Thank you for the compliment, I guess. Though I assume since you also sent me a PM you're wanting to publicly shame me for "stealing your code" which I did not do.

This is a mod website for a videogame. I don't consider any way content here can/should be monetized in any meaningful way, and everyone who does publish content should be doing so in good spirits, without an automatic sense of entitlement that there's an automatic copyright on everything they publish (and your code in particular had no license at the time that I saw the technique you are using). I understand and appreciate that it takes time, effort, and a vast skillset to mod for this game, but I spent a lot of work refactoring your code, which was really hard-coded for your map and environment system, into something that's way more generic and re-usable. So, who's name goes on the code now? I say nobody's. I don't even use my real name on the site. Nobody knows who I am. I say let's just make something great and maybe enjoy that last bit of escapism for once in our lives, but I'm just some fkin guy

Hi, May I use your options.lua script in my upcoming map?

Feel free to use anything you'd like. The options.lua in particular has some really nice methods for binding UI components to the mod savegame state - I extracted them to common functions to make them easy to re-use and re-implement.

I've noticed that in real life there aren't exterior protrusions that go horizontally between the windows on the residence like in the game. In pictures you can see that the only decorative parts on the main exterior walls are the window pediments, and nothing goes in horizontally in across the middle. Also, regarding the window pediments, there could be a little more detail on the bottom of the windows to make them pop a bit more like they do in real life. Making the Oval Office windows reach the ground also. Sorry, I'm only nitpicking because the project is going really well so far, so keep it up!

I added the suggestion to make the windows pop - great idea, thank you.   You really think I should take away the horizontal bar? I feel like it adds some needed variation, though I guess it isn't accurate, and my map description says I'm going for accuracy and realism...on the South side though, there are some slight vertical outcrops with the pillar-like headers, you can see them if you look closely.

Awesome work, did you do all this in MagicaVoxel?

Just asking but is the white house supposed to be collision proof?

@Jude Johnstone please see the latest version; I've swapped ALL exterior materials to heavymetal....(glass included)

Thoughts?

Would you ever consider adding The Washington monument ? 

I genuinely tried. I think people often underestimate how far it actually is from the Washington Monument to the White House, but it's a decent distance, even without the DC traffic. Here are some screenshots of what the map looks like with the monument "height placeholder" in the background. In the game, the monument is so far away that it doesn't render, and I had to go walking/flying for a solid couple of minutes before I saw anything. Then, I realized maybe this isn't what the game is for :P

I found an easier way to setup multiple environments with minimal code, adapted from @Gabe Wehrle's Bergwall map.

Check out my "options.lua" in the White House mod and msg me for help if you want

There's two lights inside each other  right as you go in on the left in the hallway. 

I noticed, and haven't fixed it, it's so subtle and so cute when it happens. It looks like the one light is birthing the other. I'll fix it in the next one

I found that the white house is actually very bullet resistant.

That's not good!

Like when you throw stuff at the wall.

Supposedly it's reinforced with steel, but I can't say that I've ever actually tried. Do you know anyone who has? I'm going for realism, so if you know anyone who's thrown something at The White House, please let me know so I can account for structural integrity in my recreation.

One thing I noticed was the pillars in between the windows on the North side, in real life they are only on the South, East, and West sides, and inside the North portico, as shown in the pictures. Really great project, excited to see it evolve, especially to see the East and West Wings.

 

Do you mean the way I kind of extruded the pieces vertically instead of horizontally? I kind of like how it looks as-is, but will mess around with other ways of doing it to try to match it a bit more closely.

I don't think I fully understand the question. Collision from what?

Have you seen these picturse of the front of the white house? You could use them for reference.

Nice, hadn't seen these, they definitely help. I was initially off on a few things. I also know that I am off on landscaping; I believe there's about a 10-12 foot rise on the North side, which is the driveway. I'll work on these details next!

Will you add the american flag on the roof in the centre?

Done - I did it by modelling the flag, as opposed to loading it in as an image, let me know what you think
