cp_undercover a7

This is probably going to be the last update for this map, i've made changes to the second point and last, as i planned to do it after getting feedback.
If you wonder why i still update this map (even tho i've said it's discontinued) is because i want to make it playable with the smallest of changes. So yeah, there is some changes, but i won't go over details.

discontinued.png
Kept you waiting huh ?
Well, this map is discontinued, it had a bad layout and I made terrible decisions with it, i don't want to continue the map, but i will make hotfixes if there is ground breaking glitches or such. Thought it was fun going back to fix the map.
"Going back" because when I tried to overhaul the map, i ended up literally making a new map, i'll be releasing it later, but it's in it's finishing stage for a1. While working on it, i wanted the new map to be a re release or something, but it has only a few rooms in common, so no, it will be released as it's own thing.
What are the stuff added ? Well, i changed the bunker/underground stuff and created actual cover, instead of a lame brush i added some walls, while extending the ground...hard to explain, just look at the picture i guess...
I also heard your beggings for a damn exit from the water, and as i'm evil I added some trigger hurt in the bottom of the water so you don't get in it, that will teach the campers...hopefully...

When this map was tested, multiple things made the map unpleasant and not fun, they include :
  • Map is too colorful
  • Sighlines
  • Last too close to spawn
  • Colorful lights, "i looks like Flux is on"
  • A door didn,t opened right
  • Big sightlines
  • Map too hard to navigate
  • Respawn timers
  • Tight corridoors
  • Lack of cubemap
  • VERY big sightlines
So to be honest, i do not know in any ways how to fix the respawn timers, if you know how to, hook me up.
Anyways, here is the long changelog :
  • Added cover to cover most of the sightlines
  • Changed round sewers to square ones to improve navigation and visbility
  • Added a seperation in the water with barriers and player clips
  • Removed town underground sewer entrance
  • Opened up a bit the town underground
  • Made all lights white
  • Chnged RED's base "main entrance" to no longer be highground, stairs are now inside
  • Added cover in front of BLU's spawn and in the town
  • Added a new path with a medium health pack, is a one way door that is avaible after the first point is capped next to the "main entrance"
  • Changed the way you go to the lowerground garage
  • Added cubemaps throughout the entire map
  • Changed the skybox to be sunnier and less colored
  • Added a one way door from the "main entrance" to the open area
  • Added a little brush to go from the left side to the second point
  • Added "closed" overlays to door that don't open
  • Made so you don't crush your bones when going throught the hole to the garage
  • Added a slope from sewer exit to the left flank
  • Added a submarine in the water
  • Added signs to differenciate each airlocks
  • Improved the room from the open area to the room with sewers on lowerground, also added in the same room an extension to go down with a full health pack
  • Added a new small room from crate room to the stairs from underground to near last point
  • Made first from 4 to 5
  • Heavily changes RED's last spawn to be pushed back from the point, going underground isn't a drop down anymore
  • Heavily changed BLU's original spawn to be more backed off and added details
  • Added a 3D skybox to make it like a real world (3D spybox only used to improve the visuals of the map, still WIP and may be bugged, it's the first time i've done one)
  • Added a tank that explode a wall after the 1rst point is capped (original prefab by Midlou, can be found here )
  • Map is now frontline, I decided to actually support the community update, this map will never be finished in time if valve makes it official, but hey, now I can awser the question "Is it frontline ?" with "Yes"

New iteration string : a5
My internet is slow so expect some time before the images actually changes.
A new update. Havn't done one for a bit, but I did not knew what to do. Then I looked at the big flaws the map has :
  • It is small (that's the point, It can't do much)
  • It is chokepointy-ish
  • Maybe not fun
So I made a bit of changes to help the problems.
  • Improved details in Blus first spawn
  • Added slight lights over every packs to make the more visible
  • Changed last left door to no longer be high ground
  • Seperated last left door and Reds finale highground door
  • Added a medium ammo pack and a small health pack near the last left door.
  • Widthened B's open area, added a new room with a medium health pack and a small ammo pack
  • Sped up last capture time from 3 to 2
  • Added a small room from the point B open area to the upper sewer room, with a one way drop down
  • Changed the corner hole of the sewers to be smaller
  • Changed the door leading to the garage to be able to see throught.
New iteration string : a4
I will have to test the map.
Didn't bothered to make an a4 just for a simple update
-Increased light brightness
That's it.
Iteration string on the map's file : a3_1
A lot of changes, to make the map more fun.
The map is still in gameplay theory, any help of ingame feedback is apreciated, a lot.

  • Improved the hazard stripes that represent the capture zone
  • Changed the medium pack to a small pack in blu sewers

  • Changes to point C (last)

Stuff that should of gotten in the first update.
  • Fixed REDs not being able to get out of their first spawn.
  • Added cubemaps in RED spawn sewer
  • Added a full health kit in a zone no one would get to anyway
  • Fixed crates floating
The next update will probably improve last's visibility, and improve the capture time over all of the points.
  • Presumably fixed the missing textures, IF NOT TELL ME.
  • Added tape on points.
