KotH London a2

But since it's the 1960's they also put aside the Demoman.

I'd probably hit it.

You know you're going to need a LOT of custom overlays to make this work since the typography and signage in the UK is quite different to the states.

Map seems very dark - the reason why I made it fullbright.

We're making massive changes for A2, based on feedback, including a whole new CP, spawns, and:

Britishness

How retro.

There better be one of these hidden on the map.

This looks cool except, usually with night themed tf2 maps, or valve games in general, light is a directional marker or a place to go that's safe. So while I do think the street lamps are a cool idea, I think that it could lead to a small amount of confusion. The map is pretty small so I think that would be a rare happening.

You can use a night map and not sacrifice the benefits of a lighter map. If you have your overall light source, that will create more-or-less a flat plane of light for vision (ie, the street lamps). Then, using of point_spot and light_spots you can point out entrances/exits and highlight more important features if your a bit creative with your lighting.

Also, subtle adjustments in the lighting color can help too. Those street lamps should eventually give off a bit of a yellow light (like a brown bulb) where as a spot light would be more closer to white. When the white is shown on the yellow, it'll easily highlight whatever is needed.

Yeah if you actually look at Pipeline, very little of the game play areas are actually dark. :>

I see sharpening seams.

In pipeline, no gameplay area is dark. Its lighting is relatively good, but could still use some more interesting highlights.

btw this is my round about way of hinting that I'd like to make some overlays for this, since I studied typography and lived and worked in London.

 

[zpqrei]

Thoughts?

 

[Tekku]

Yo, i heard you changed theme again.

Theme changer strikes again!

 

[zpqrei]

Not really, it's just the lighting.

 

[Randdalf]

Thoughts?

Those skycards are way too close

 

[Pocket]

Not enough London fog.

 

[Psy]

Now it's super obvious that the buildings in the background are 2D fakery.
