Hi guys,
I made a map... this is still very much a work in progress, but im happy enough with it to release for beta testing.

Security controls lasers & drawbridge.

Please let me know what you guys think needs to be bigger / smaller / longer / shorter etc... I do plan on changing the following already:

Add ramps to cap point.
New flag and cap point models.
Add ladder to battlements on ramp-room side.
Redesign midmap (maybe add a center island).
Retexture everything
Add signs

Some Pics:

Lighting makes a pretty insane visual improvement to any map, as I'm sure you know. But it also goes a long way in helping a player judge depths and distances, corners and angles and such, so even some basic lighting would be useful for play testing. It's also a little easier on the eyes, I think playing on full bright maps for too long can put a strain on them.

Edit: I never could get homie to light any of his dumb maps, which is a shame because they really probably would look quite nice.

As FDA said, lighting is extremely important piece of the map.

Okay made a few adjustments so i thought i'd update you guys.
Completely new midmap design, carved new ramps for sec and ramp room, added a ladder to battlements and changed a bunch of textures.

I also added some basic lighting which i am yet to position and color properly... there will also be models added for light sources (im still learning all this mapping stuff).

Also added cubemaps everywhere.

One thing i would like to know... is it possible to disable detpack placement in certain areas, akin to the nobuild resctricted areas enforced upon engineers? After a few playtests i realised my entire flagroom is vulnerable to offense detpacks.

Updated to b12, a few minor tweaks, new doors added some signs, areaportals and a couple of hint/skips.

I think, not 100% sure tho, that if you do a trigger_ff_clip set to block_buildables that will include detpacks

edit: or, block_buildableweapons

oh wait, I think that wouldnt do what you want, would force det to clip in the upper area and look stupid probably

Dexter 06-30-2015 07:51 AM

well, I checked and nobuild doesnt check for detpacks which surprised me

Dont carve
 
Not sure if when you said you were carving you meant that you were using hammers carve feature. If so that is a bad idea. Interlopers has a ton of great mapping articles on this and many other points.
