At least go with no chimney-thingies on the engines. Looks like you just copied and rotated a second cart into the first.

Errr... Hi!
I'm a new guy. This is my current pre-alpha-super-in-dev WiP for a CTF map (I'm thinking 2 flag CTF, though, 1 flag may work)...
Lots of orange, no real name yet for it.
It will be a snow themed map set in a train-yard, moving trains included to appease the train gods.
Unseen on map is behind the sky boxes there is ramps to a tunnel which will hold a raft that the teams take the capped flag to.
Plan to add more cover to break up the line of sight from up top (I have been reading some other threads I know a bit about what is needed to make it balanced.)...
'Nuff talking from me.
Trash the map if you must.
Also, how does one set up the camera views to get the ingame- shots?

looks pretty good for a first map.
When you're making displacements, though, you only have to select the side that the players will see. It looks like you've selected all the sides, not just the top. You can select one at a time by using the texture browser and just clicking on one side

I was using it to make sure I have scale right, which on my previous "practice" maps i found was an issue. I have thus replaced it with the red/blue 128x128 textures.
You mean fixed viewpoints like places where dead players/spectators can see what's happening? For those you need an info_observer_point entity
Ah, thanks.
I have the skybox set up, except it says that it can't find the file for the texture(s), I'm working on a solution to remedy this. There are still a few leaks too that don't seem to want to show up anywhere. But one thing at a time.
I would post a screeny of my current progress ingame, but whenever i take a shot it just comes out as the valve loadup screen (guy with facet in head)...
I hope to use this map possibly in my schools server rotation (when it gets set up)

Is that for the skybox texture? If so, don't worry about it; it's a bug found in pretty much every map that uses Valve skies. Focus on the leaks.
What do you use to take screenshots? If not F5, type 'bind f5 jpeg' in console and get your screenshots from the tf/screenshots folder.

The issue with the skybox texture is that when i compile, it says it can't be found, and thus not loaded, but when I go ingame, its there, just a little glitchy. and they skybox 1/16th model i have set up for the 3d aspect, it ignores the skybox i have set up around it and just show in the sky the bottom of my map >.<.
