working on a rather silly map.

anyone want to help?

i'm going to make everything imaginable in it be lethal.




i must admit it is an optimization nightmare. i could probably do without the 40+ steam emitters in the pit though. i tried the orange theme, didn't really work with it. this map is huge by the way. to give you a hint at the scale: that doorway on the beginnings of the fort? you could fit the small house of dustbowl stage 2 through them.

Can I download the wip?

Looks awesome. It's a cp map?

I would help, but my mapping is a little rusty, and I don't have much TF2 mapping experience...

I wish I could map, I've tried several times to get started, but I can barely make the floor, let alone the spawn, a cap point, I can barely make walls. I'll just stick with skinning...

looks sweet

If only I could map myself I would make a gauntlet CP map, all the cool things I would make in it :3
Anyway, keep us posted on this, sounds like a lot of fun to watch/play!

OMFG, ADMIN DERAILING A TOPIC!! Anyway, when we test that, I'm going to have some fun as spychecker on that tower
PS: Find the censor

well I'm taking a break on the map I'm doing because it's aggravating me. lol But if you want send me the .vmf file and I can take a look at it. See what ideas I can come up with.

started work on the interior today. i guess what i need now is ideas for creative ways to kill unsuspecting players. there are stone boulders rolling down the ramps on the middle tower, the pit can kill you. i plan to have roaming boulders making circles around the level, all elevators will have counter-weights that can smash you, etc...

Hah, that looks fun, I may be posting some of the first pics of my map soon. All I have rough drafted on paper is the mid and part of the second, and I am constantly changing it . Anyways it's a snowy CP level that does some interesting things with height and angles. Just about every encounter area flanks the other teams (ie: most of them meet at a 90degree angle) I figured this would be sorta fun seeing as how most of the maps are straight forward with a couple obstacles. Anyways it's called CP_Klonkide

(Oh and if I can I will have a gaint laser that moves based on what team owns the center )

Ideas to kill unsuspecting players? Trap door to a pit. I did that once in a map called construct, which overall sucked. But the trap door on the final control point was good, people would have to jump to the point to cap. I also put full healthkits over the door, enticing people to walk on. Then they would fall 12 stories to their doom.

I remember that map
Way too big.

final cap area, spawn entrances will be on either side as well as on top of that overhang. does anyone know how to get a fire particle system in there?

it's lamost to a point where i can release a WIP without feeling bad. this map is huge, almost too huge. i might have to fill it up a bit before i can feel ok about calling it an alpha.

Have you seen hyce's alphas? Yours will be plenty finnneee!

(LOVE YOU HYCE!)

Right back atya, greezy.

My alphas are what they are. Alphas. Alphas are the early, crappy tests. In my mind alphas are: Baren, not detailed/textured, no dynamic lighting, sound, not many props. The basic map.

Betas: Detailed, 100% Textured, 100% Working (no door problems, etc), Propified, and has some dynamic lighting.

hmm we might want to disable snipers on that map...
