    TF2Maps.net Major Contest #14: Connect 5: The Original TF2Maps.net Boardgame

    The grid has too much of the same square types. Too much day vs night and symmetrical and assimmetrical, even though there are multiple options possible that although are somewhat similar in freedom are actualy more in variety: For day, night you can include as alternatives: sunset, dusk For...

    How Many Maps Did You?

    (although i did help at some maps, and even in a few cases did set a blueprint, im not going to list these as being 'my own') Red faction: I cant even remember all the maps i made for that. The only one i can remember was ism_subway which was for the iron sun mod (and i already had 2 years of...

    koth_cliffhanger a map where you see cliffparts hang on other cliff parts and everyone has to run acros a bridge and jump at the sound of an explosion. While everyone who jumped is also getting launched forward so they can reach the cliff edge aswel.

    [Information] Bot control in mvm: Control points

    If you are using valve's gatebots they will definitely do that because they have "BehaviorModifiers push". That modifier makes them never ignore their objective. You might want to try "BehaviorModifiers Mobber" on them to overrule it, although i think these will make them ignore the objective...

    From my own experience you are incorrect. Skullcove was initialy in similar darkness and even when the bots had zombie skins (which were totaly diffirent to players) they had trouble spotting the bots. People wanted the map to be brighter. EDIT: and for those that missed the moment, i never...

    VVIS source code

    Using a i5 4660 (if stating compile times this is a very important thing to note as this can identify diffirences in compile times a lot) it took me about 10 minutes of vvis on normal in giza, and that is considering a that a section is rotated and offgrid which can influence the compile time by...

    TF2Maps and Potato’s MvM Servers Present: Mappers vs Machines

    First, there are 2 diffirent difficulties of advanced. 1 of them is pre-bigrock and the other one is bigrock+2cities. In bigrock advanced became significantly more difficult due to using more spamming methods. They arent essentialy harder for a skilled team. But on teams struggling with...

    Why do you love steam convos?

    I bet she only posted that because of the mapname.

    MVM Echoe

    To add to that knockback problem. There are 2 ways these can be applied and there are some values worthy to note. For soldiers since they often use the airblast method, its worth to note that these are considered most anoying as they can give a random blast direction based on how they hit you...

    Smoothing groups make it possible for vrad to make rounded walls actualy behave as if they are 1 surface instead of being seperate flat edges. And this can realy give it a cilidrical feeling. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Smoothing_groups...

    MVM Teien

    It might be ugly. But as a last resort a trigger_hurt will autocollect money inside it. But risks are double collecting the money when players can reach the area (and it looks like the soldier and maybe scout can). But what i think is the issue is that the roof is simply too thin. Otherwise...

    Why do you love steam convos?

    I wonder how her names would be when they no longer are restricted to ASCII.

    Light is a very essential part in gameplay. Its more important than you realize. Improper lighting can guide players to the wrong direction and this does heavily affect the outcome of a map. If players dont notice a doorway and dont use it, once its lit the map changes since they will use that...

    I think that black path has a quite large detour compared to the other paths. Even if its not a main path, i think giving the bots an advantage at the spawning position (startin up higher - just like they have 2 of these in decoy) could be a good addition. I do like the height variation and the...
