Am I the only one that finds Mountain Lab insanely well detailed and actually has a great atmosphere and the keeps the feel of "I'm breaking through a secret base" that really few maps have?

Nope I think its great and youd be surprised to find the map is actually played a fair amount. Actually I am about to go play in a 24/7 mountainlab server for 4 hours straight :D

I'd lose the laser on C if I was you. It'd make the map feel a little more distinct from gravelpit.

Way ahead of you. :p Already got a redesign set for C and have pretty much bulldozed a good portion of some of the side buildings. Probably going to keep the stupid amount of missiles because I can, though

Mountain Lab's C building has too conspicuous of a façade to reasonably qualify as a secret anything. And it stands out from its environment too much to be masquerading as something else (like the bases in most official maps) either.

Nodraw brush accidentally overlapping stuff I guess.

Seems like everything is packed right. I haven't seen any errors or magenta textures.

However, this is a bit annoying. Please fix it in the next version.

PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE

Turn this and all other capzone markers into func_doesnotclipwithplayer, or whatever it is actually called.

It's a small thing but every time I jump while going onto the stairs I hit it.

The other solution is to use an overlay instead but I'm guessing you wanted to keep it a brush so that the people with disabled overlays can see it (i.e: 75 % of the competitive community).


Also we've got some z-fighting here, about 32 units worth of overlap.

post because i forgot to do this yesterday

cp_edifice_test2

After the recent UGC season(s) that have played this map, I have gathered, disregarded, and contemplated many paragraphs of feedback.
I have no idea if it amounted to anything, though, so I decided to hold back an official rc1 release and instead release a "test" version.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84556731/cp_edifice/cp_edifice_test2.bsp.bz2

- A was given a place to defend, where you can't get jumped on and has a decent amount of cover - through tests, this has proven to make the point more defensible and a more viable choice to defend first instead of B.
- B's right side (relative to BLU) was given a raise, which in turn made that area more useful, and which inadvertently made the point a little easier to attack (it seems).
- C got lowered by around 100 units, more or less.
- One of the flanks to C (left side relative to BLU) was removed
- Pretty much every little glitch from the old versions was fixed.
