cp_erosion

[pekken]

last cap is too open and sniper friendly now, maybe move the ledges further down and add some cover. other than that i like it.

I dont think u need the tunnel that goes from first cp to middle anymore. block it halfway after the corner so it goes to cp 2 only.

the metal plate on top when u go to middle on red side often blocks u from going down.

There's a few "hovering" objects that I've noticed.

Like the rocks under BLU base (granted, that might have been because I dropped down from the spawn and got stuck behind them, didn't look at them a lot from the "normal" side), or the RED/BLU signs behind the 2/4's.

 

[ikem]

yea this was a rough put together to test the layout

 

[Sgt Frag]

Wow, those pics look like a completely different level. Sorry to say but I think that's a bad thing. I think the visuals was one of the reasons I really liked the earlier version.

I undertsand you were probably going for a more blu/metal look for one side but it just doesn't fit IMO.

 

[ikem]

it isnt that much different... like.. i just changed the logs to ibeams...

 

[trainRiderJ]

I thought the metal was kinda weird the first time I saw it too, but now I think it looks cool. Just give it time to grow on you Sgt Frag

 

[ikem]

welll.... i beat youme to it i think... i maxed out the displacements... i had ~2080 and the max is 2048... b6 will have 2039

 

[ikem]

well ok i have had some problems… i have maxed the source engine basically… but yea i got it to run properly and the layout will stay as it is now… i cant really change anything just freely. I am going to work on props and other stuff but since the last release

- new skybox
- more optimazation
- another forward spawn (for mid cap, the previous forword spawn was for 2/4 caps)
- Turned the first spawns and added an exit
- Added a little more detail on last points
- took away some cluttered items to get map to work

funny numbers right now…

2000+ displacements (2048 max)
77.8 % Planes (was 92%)
71.2 % Waterindicies (was 98.9%)
74% Physics Terrian (was 90%)

Very pretty marp you has there.

 

[Icarus]

Nice skybox, but you need to change your fog color or reduce the thickness so that it blends in with the background.

 

[FLOOR_MASTER]

After playing b5c a few times (15v15), I agree with the final points being long, sniper-friendly, and less interesting than the rest of the map. The two high metal pathways seem especially vulnerable and awkward to use. We prefer the layout of b4c (though it's not without faults of its own). Overall, this map makes great use of the Z-axis and is a welcome change of pace.

 

[Vander]

Very nice looking map.

 

[Blindfate]

We really like this map over at G4B2S. I like how the center point is half wood half metal.

I think I'd still like to see a few water spots deep enough to extinguish flames, or some more obvious med packs lying around.

this map leads to some really non convential games.

 

[Void]

Grass through the caps. Unblend that to destroy the sprites underneath the caps.

 

[pekken]

This map is now very close to perfection!

a few small things u should check tho

* the timer should always go up to 10 minutes after capping a point.
* u sometimes get stuck when trying to walk down these ledges:

* and also sometimes when u walk UP here:

* when walking here next to the wall u'll fall through the ground:

* the fact that u can see cp 1 from cp 2 makes it very friendly for snipers and also makes both teams standing at each cp spamming rockets at eachother.
maybe add cover where the red is?

 

[Mar]

For those beams, either
1. sink them into the ground some more
or
2. add some small player clips smaller then 18 hammer units so they act like stairs on all side.
or
3. Make a tiny ramp out of player clips on all sides.

And for cover, do you see the rock that is touching the bottom right corner of the red square? Maybe make that taller, it seems like that would provide long range cover, but still let short range people attack, therefor keeping the game play around the CP the same.

 

[ikem]

ok falling though the blue walkways has to be the texture... i think cuz it is letting me shoot though it...

that rock could be a little bigger at final
