Huge Pileup Downtown Wrecks Gravel Trucks!​

Authorities Report: Gravel Appears Unharmed​

The area around the regional headquarters for Gray Gravel Co. has been closed to civilian traffic after a massive accident involving several gravel transport trucks. The area needs to be clear of pedestrians and drivers, as "cleanup crews" have been mobilized to secure the precious gravel.






There's a sewer with a current that takes you behind the point, that may change to a subway or even a generic tunnel in future versions. Let me know what you think! Huge thanks to Rexy for all his awesome models.

screenshot two looks JUST like a rainbow 6 vegas level =)

looks cool so far!

 

[lana]

Looks awesome! It makes me feel like I'm in some huge city but still fits with TF2's style... sort of.

 

[Wilson]

I approve this map!

 

[McNuggetFiend]

Looking very nice Squid!

 

[Penguin]

Dang, nice work.

 

[Prestige]

bold move trying to do a city theme. good luck. guarantee people will hate it immediately though. I like it though.

 

[NanoSquid]

Thanks guys!

There's a bit of a gimmick with the sewers and I still have no idea how optimization/soundscapes work, but I'm definitely seeing this one through to the end. It's going to require waaaaay too much custom content though

And I've never played R6 Vegas, so any resemblance is purely coincidental!



Oh, and, erm, also, how do you submit a map for gameday?


ALSO ALSO, has anyone downloaded it? I'm unsure if I included all the custom props and materials correctly. Used packBSP for the first time

Wow, this map is proof of the power of community content. A city map would be impossible with the stock models and textures. GO US!

Red team have one major advantage in this map. They can actually leave the spawn. You appear to have left some invisible brushes infront of Blues spawn doors.

Also some of the custom car textures are missing, and there are no wires holding up the lights in the alley ways.

Can't wait to play it. The Details should be awesome :O

 

[Boylee]

ooooh a bilaterally symmetrical koth map, and a city theme. Two relatively rare TF2 oddities rolled into one, looks interesting.

In addition to what Bonafide said, I can see a simple error at the spawn: assuming you kept texture scale at 0.25, the bottom floor of the spawn building is 32 units above ground, which is too high for players to walk onto (they have to jump).

Gah! I knew I was forgetting something. I was going to make some stairs for that! Well, I'll release Alpha 2 ASAP, fixing those things. I plan to iterate the map a lot.

Can't wait till you update this and texture it i can just tell that it's going to look awesome.

 

[EArkham]

Haha, wow. Looks very promising!

The street texture looks weird with the default concrete. I'm assuming you'll change that to a custom texture later (or at least a darker concrete).

I used the default concrete because that's what they used for the road in doublecross-- I thought it looked OK.

Alpha 2 released.

Doublecross broke it up so it didn't look as repetitive. It's an alpha, so graphics aren't a big thing yet. Just remember to do something to it later.

Duly noted!
