Looking For In-Game Hospital Room With A View

Unfortunately, none that I can think of... and no, Manticore's mansion does not have windows. The only existing maps I can think of that have windows are President Marchand's Office (overlooks St. Martial, I believe, available in AE), the room where you meet Odysseus and his Warriors (I think it's him, anyway - it's a mission map that overlooks Talos), and I think the Loyalist office in Praetoria has windows.
The only playerbase I ever saw with 'windows' was someone's orbital space station room where they did a PHENOMENAL job of making it look like windows out into space, with small, medium, and large lights as the stars. Really fantastic job.
Although...
You MIGHT be able to cheat by demoediting... I'm not sure if there's a hospital bed/stretcher/thing that's available as an object (this might work - V_OO_Vahzilok_Operating_Table), but if you could map that in, then you could maybe use Studio B in the AE building of your choice, put the bed there, put a medical station (which DOES exist as an object in as well - V_OO_Medical_Cabinet_01), and put said character on the stretcher.

Yes, I was coming up with some ways to cheat it, just in case, but I knowing those object models could be enormously helpful! Thank you! I never ever think of being able to do that with demo editing!! |

(and have no idea which objects can or can't be done)But yes, I was checking out the AE building as well as the Atlas Park Atrium and a few other locations. Didn't think of Marchand's Office map (love that one) and the Loyalists' Office. I'll have a looksee. With the right camera angles, I might be able to fake it. Not sure which direction I'll go with yet.
I've been in a few bases that took a very large room and made it like an outside area and then built buildings (with windows) all around and among it.
Unfortunately, the one I have access to isn't the right fit, but I am sure I can whip one up for my purposes pretty quickly. Just wanted ot make sure there wasn't something that already existed in the game world (which might have better art assets than what I could do with the base, really).
Sidenote... I need to throw a party, redside, in my Rogue Universe casino hotel some time soon.
Thanks for the ideas! Those objects very well might make a huge difference!

Are you looking for an observation window or a window view to the outside? For an observation window, the midnighter arc mission when you go see Argot BUrwak comes to mind.
Not sure about a view outside though.

This was actually more for a private hospital room, where the patient recovers, etc. that has a window to the outside.
I think I've managed to overcome the lack of such a location by good old fashion movie magic of just using a different wall with a window whenever I want to show that one wall of the room. Editing brings worlds together, hehe.
By the way, the Vaz medical stuff, unfortunately, is too dark/thematic, as I was looking for regular medical equipment (not the scary, rusty variety).
All good though. The camera angles make what I've got work... Now if I can just figure out some other problems I'm having, hehehe... (seriously, I have no time for this right now, but the closure is making me really want to finish a few of these videos I have screaming in my head).
Thanks again anyway!

I've got more of an ICU unit built, not sure if it will help.
Beautiful setup, Red Valkyrja!
I'm happy with what I'm using now, but, yeah, the main thing I needed was for the window to lead to the outside. One of those, fly up to the window and visit sort of things that just can't be altered, due to the feel of that type of visit (in my opinion).
Regardless, I love that bed setup, especially.
You remind me how much I'd love to visit people's bases though...

That's an impressive job Red Valkyrja. Props to you. I'm frequently amazed at what people manage to do with the limited base building tools.
If you know how to use a chroma keyer (or even have the option in your movie maker) you could use a existing widow and make it a view outside.
Sort of an odd request/question, as I'm putting a bit of time into a CoH video:
I'm looking for a hospital room (where an injured patient would be staying) that has a window. None of the hospitals seem to have windows. I checked the Praetorian ones just to see)... So, I am thinking maybe a player-made base might be the best option.
Does anyone know of any such location (even if it is more of a bedroom looking place with a window, that might do better than a hospital without a window) developer or player created? Hrm, Manticore's mansion didn't have any such room with a window or anything, did it?
I may have to create it myself in the base editor, but I figured I'd ask here. By all means, if you have or know of a player-created base with something like this, let me know.
Thanks for any help!
