SS Autumn Deckplans- Click Here (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Snipsville/AutumnDeckplan.jpg)
The SS Autumn is a luxurious transatlantic liner favored by the rich and famous.

Scrutinizing:
"Mancini's" is a large, Italian themed restaurant on C Deck. This huge room is filled with large dining tables as well as a mahogany grand piano stuffed into a corner on the Port side. I had the Presidential Dining room of the Cotopaxi in mind for it's interior design.

The room should contain no security cameras or guards, it should be empty and the tables should be ready for dinner.
There should be very little artwork on the walls in Mancini's, instead I'd prefer to have portholes like these from the Atalanta:

In fact, on C Deck all of the windows should be this kind of porthole. The only exception is in the forward section of "Mancini's". Where just between the two staircases on the well deck the wall should be filled with large, full length windows that can be easily broken out, providing quick access to the forward decks.

The Foyer on the SS Autumn should look similar to the one from the Connemara.

There should be security cameras present in this room, but no guards.

Corridors on the ship should resemble this one from the Huronian.

A standard First Class Suite on C Deck should look somewhat like this one from the Cotopaxi.

The windows on the upper decks (A and B) should all resemble this one from the Cotopaxi.

Except in "The Sundown Lounge". A large bar and nightclub on B Deck. Where the windows are full length ones exactly like what is in the forward section of Mancini's. I felt the Sundown Lounge should be decorated in a similar style to that of the "Aquila Bar" on the Connemara.

Just no so bright and orange-ish. Darker, warmer colors, such as brown and red should be used throughout the room. It shouldn't look very modern, but it should have a feeling of the Art Deco era. The room should be filled with tables, chairs, and plenty of comfortable furniture. On the wall that adjoins the Foyer, there should be a very long bar counter, lined with barstools. The bar counter should be centered with the room and in it's center it should converge into the shape of a semi circle that matches the curve of the wall that looks onto the forward decks. This wall should be completely lined with full length windows. The port and starboard walls should have no windows whatsoever.

And finally, the Library on B Deck should resemble this one from the Cotopaxi.

Further Scrutinizing:
The Brig should not contain any windows whatsoever.
I'd prefer the Games Room to be a warm, greenish or burgundy painted room. I'd prefer not to have the usual blue walls.
No roaches required in the kitchen.
If this ever does make it to the game, the time of day should be late afternoon.

Music:
In the Mancini's Restaurant and the Foyer "Chant Sans Paroles" should be heard.
In the Games Room "Clover Club" should be playing on a gramophone.
In The Sundown Lounge "Extase 2" should be heard.
In the Psychiatrist's Office on B Deck "Coppelia" should be playing on a gramophone.
In the Mall on B Deck "Ciribirin 3" should be heard. (The Mall is that large, open hall at the aft end)
In Marco Graza "Extase 1" should be heard.
In Victorian Secrets "Fancy Nancy 1" should be heard.
In Nautilus Sports "Gambrinus Polka" should be heard.
In Pour Vous "Garden of Love 2" should be heard.
In the Brig "Dinah 4" should be playing on the radio in the security office.
In First Class Suite 1 on C Deck "Danube Waves 2" should be playing on a radio.
In First Class Suite 4 on C Deck "Carmen 3" should be playing on a radio.
In First Class Suite 7 on C Deck "Funeral Marionet" should be playing on a radio.
In First Class Suite 10 on C Deck "Any Girl Looks Good in Summer" should be playing on a radio.
In Deluxe Suite 2 on A Deck "Cord and Tassel 4" should be playing on a radio.

Okay, I've added the deckplans. I can imagine they must be difficult to read in some areas. So I'll be glad to answer any questions.

I took a look over your plans, and while there are elements of the design I think are nice, I worry about a lot of the long, unhindered views. I'm not sure how familiar you are with level editing with the Source engine, but I highly recommend you take a read through Zombie's excellent optimization guide as it will help you approach your layout with game performance in mind...

Just shout if you have any questions :)

Ah, I see. No, I'm not at all familiar with level editing in the slightest. Whenever I make plans of any kind I usually like to have realism, as well as some artistic elements. But oh well. If you like my ideas (Josephine and Autumn) go ahead and fiddle around with them. Josephine sure would need alot of work, it's much too large, and there's this problem with long hallways and such. But, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll keep it in mind whenever I get an idea for another one of these! :)

Okay, I've gotten very detailed and added a list of music to be heard on Autumn.

That would be great, but I'd like the prison to have windows. I like to throw weapons inside to provoke fights between inmates. I also like to kill my quarry when he/she is in prison.

Sorry, I just don't find barred windows appropriate in a First Class corridor.

Just to let you know, I've just revised both the music listing and the room descriptions.

10 first class rooms and 4 third class? ...cool!

i like the foyer on the ship the best but overall i think you did a great job with the deck plans, i think it'd make a great ship, maybe another floor though

Four third class? All the rooms are first class. But, thanks!

Disregard this post. A silly mistake.

I've got a new idea for a ship in mind. At the moment, I'm calling it "Magnolia". Mr. X's personal yacht. Based off of the old presidential yacht USS Sequoia.
