Sounds sweet! Love the "twist".

Here is an idea I just had: I don't know how you have the map set up, but you said that CP3 is blow/behind CP2... how bout when CP2 is capped, it causes an "earthquake" and part of the temple collapses, changing the layout and opening up new hallways/openings in the floor...

Just an idea...

The geometry looks really good so far, and I like the idea of the twists.

Although you just gotta turn AA on before taking screenshots.

o_bumgravy · 07-29-2006, 10:42 PM

how you do that then?

o_nezumi · 07-29-2006, 10:44 PM

Anti-Aliasing, in the advanced video options menu.

o_alligator · 07-30-2006, 01:03 AM

Thanks for improving the lighting

. The overall looks of this map is really starting to shape up.

o_coalesce · 07-30-2006, 02:42 AM

like the "twist" though it sounds like how avanti works, except the flag goes back to CP1. CP3 sounds really interesting! good job!

o_bumgravy · 07-30-2006, 03:58 PM

I had another idea. At the first point, instead of waiting for gates to open, the attacking team start in a room full of high-tech junk. A generator powers up and after 30 secs/ whatever, spawns a teleporter (see pic in post below) Which the attackers go through and comes out at the start of the map, in the sky. So instead of setting up to defend an attack from a respawn, the defenders will be setting up to defend against people spawning and falling out of the sky! Airshots ahoy!!!!!

o_kam · 07-30-2006, 04:18 PM

Heh, like they're going back in time?

o_bumgravy · 07-30-2006, 05:13 PM

No, its a teleporter to the enemy fortress they have to attack, so capping the flags moves them closer to their goal: the blues energy core! In this room with the teleporter (above) i was thinking of copying the red base final cap from dustbowl, sourcin' it up and making it destroyed, with rubble and stuff. So it was like, the blue team had to destroy the red base in dustbowl because the reds had their sweet source teleport hidden out the back, this time its payback time and its reds turn to attack, making use of their new technology to infiltrate close to the blues base.

I was thinking of calling it ff_revenge or something.

o_dark applepolisher · 07-30-2006, 05:51 PM

I absolutely like this map. However, there's one part that I slightly disagree with. The flag spawning back at cap 1 sounds.... tedious. In a Fortress game, tedium is a bad thing.

o_darksoul · 07-30-2006, 06:19 PM

looking good!

just don't make it too dark!

o_kastofsna · 07-30-2006, 07:29 PM

i liked it better before all the twists. i'd just make it straight dustbowl.

o_bumgravy · 07-30-2006, 10:20 PM

I migh just make it normal 3-caps dustbowl style, if its too much hassle or too confusing this way, but i still want to leave in the barrier at the last cap point, i think its gonna be cool.

anyway today i got kinda wasted and went nuts on the teleporter:

which was a good way to learn the HL2 I/O entity system! Been putting off learning about all the new stuff for a while.

o_addicted to morphine · 07-31-2006, 03:28 AM

That teleporter is awesome. Get wasted and go nuts more often

As for your gameplay twist, you said if the flag that originally spawns in CP1 gets dropped, it'll go back to CP2, so whats to stop an attacker from touching it at CP1 then killing himself, and spawning at CP2 to hassle the defense until the flag respawns at CP2?

o_bumgravy · 07-31-2006, 04:46 AM

i thought that too, but figured it wouldnt be worth the advantage rather than just going back for it. the point is, to get the quicker cap youll have to work out the best way to split forces. i guess it seems a bit unnecessary.

o_oblivion · 07-31-2006, 04:53 AM

This map is looking awsome from the screenshots. I hope the rest of the map looks this good

But it looks like theres alot of entrances and open areas, so do you think this will be to easy for offense?

o_geokill-----> · 07-31-2006, 05:00 AM

That teleporter looks pretty
Overall map and layout looks good
But I dunno I do see map a bit dark...
Not too much but just a bit

o_coalesce · 07-31-2006, 05:02 AM

that new ss you posted, is that the barrier you have to destroy to cap the flag at cp3? i love that idea, just cant figure out what that is in the screen shot. teleporter? im tired as fuck.

o_bumgravy · 07-31-2006, 01:59 PM

ive not startred on cp3 yet, the screenshot is the attackers first spawn. waiting behind gates for a minute is boring so i thought id have a teleporter power up, and teleport you into battle. this will come out at the start of the run to CP1, and high up so the defenders will have an easy job killing them as they fall.

o_oblivion · 07-31-2006, 06:17 PM

If you have to travel upward to capture point 1 then maby you should have it so you have to travel downward to capture point 2. Just a thought.
