Its very unique isn't it, I would like to see more lighting behind those pannels though the shadows look great.

Blister was kind enough to port this over to HL2:CTF and change a few things to make it more of a ctf mod style map and in my opinion it very well could be one of if not the best all around map Ive played. Great look, great gameplay, great fps. Looking forward to see how this map plays in FF and looking forward to other FF mappers porting over their masterpieces.

looks v. nice, i'll be sure to check it out and leave further comments.

personally i like maps with layered def rather than having 1 frontline and 3 or 4 in the flagroom.

edit: can you or someone else please re-upload the map?

thx man

Actually, the porting proved to be helpful for me too, as i learned a lot from hl2ctf playtesting which made me improve small gameplay things already.

I currently took down the FF version as it is outdated. I received great feedback from ppl here a few months ago about it, but i think it's now in a stage where i need FF to be able to put in the finishing touches and upload it.

if you really want to have a look ingame maybe you can ask some of the guys here to upload it, or download the ctf mod version here, but bear in mind the gameplay is mostly different. The bases have lost their rear parts, the ramproom has been made the flagroom, there's an airbridge over the yard etc. shots of the hl2ctf version: 1, 2, 3

yeah i was able to retrieve the ctf version from your website but i was very disappointed when i ran around in it. looked utterly simplistic and unlike what you had described.

is there a way for me to take a look at what your current iteration of your ff version is like? if this is not possible, would someone please upload the previous ff_flare version that was available?

Just had a few ideas about this map; Maybe if yellow interior lighting were toned down a bit and a strong light source came from behind all of the curved wall details emiting sharp shadows of coloured light looking quite spectacular. It would emphisise the team colouring and add more interest to the lighting.

I actually played around with this in the beginning, but my idea is that you shouldn't exaggerate with it. If you tone down the central lights too much, the side textures don't get enough "uncolored" light to feel right (they tend to be in the shadow). Moreover it gets to be a colorfest, which i don't think we want either. I'll see if i can strike a better balance in the final compiles though.

Maybe making the colour less saturated/striking would do the trick the dark blue/purple is very striking at the moment.

It's a custom, light emitting, texture.

search for lights.rad
If you're compiling into hl2dm, it should be under half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp
Open it with notepad or smt, you should see a few textures already. Follow their example and type the folder/texturename of the texture you want emitting lights. In the .vmt of that texture, there should be no env cubemap. Also the brush that it's applied on should be a world brush.

Try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, tell me where you're stuck.

no, the light emitting property is not in the .vmt, it is in an exterior file named lights.rad. selfillum is just to make the effect better.

Just read through the lights.rad you'll figure it out.
