Netherlands b1 fix3

Since this is more a slight patch with some improvements, i'll just put this here:

• Tinkered with some more optimization (NODRAW everywhere!)
• Added some more lights in one of the Side Buidlings and the Stair Buildings
• Added a small poster
• Removed the shadows on the doors
• Removed the Spots that were on the slopes of BLU Spawn
• Made one of the Slopes into Stairs
• Fixed a small texture bug on the Wooden Platforms
• Gave credit to the future 3D Modeler Kyle/Bluejay by adding a room into the BLU Tower to credit him​

Things I couldn't do for this Version:

• Add more backroutes for Spies
• Close of the flank route of the middle building

Now get the images in here!

HAPPY TESTING!​

This could be one of the, if not the last Alpha Update.​

What has been changed?

Here ya go!​

• Replaced the small healthpacks with medium ones in the stairhouse and the middle house
• Covered up the Training Player Model more to stop confusion
• Fixed the sightline Sniper gets in the Stair Building if he crouches
• Made the space behind spawn smaller
• Made the Slope Leading to the Middle Building Balcony not flat at the bottom
• Removed the "Who got it" thingy
• Fixed another small but overpowered sightline that I found while playtesting on my own
• Added some minor detailing
• Started with Optimization

Happy Testing!​

Welp here we are.

After another test we are getting fewer and fewer problems. Which is good? I think.

What has been changed?
Well...

• Re-added the hazard tape (i accidentally removed it sorry)
• Fixed the issue that the spawn doors wouldn't open after the round ended
• Roofed the health building by the point up and slightly raised the walls to accompany this change
• Increased the width of some other building… I should probably name 'em…
• Decreased the height of multiple things (including the point plattform)
• Added some health into the stair building
• Added some lights into the now roofed building
• Added some fences on the now roofed building's balcony to stop Engies from placing hard to counter sentries

Have some images!

That should be all for now.

Quick Patch #2

A small patch to fix another Sniper sightline.
Added a small stairs leading up to the health kit so it's more easily accessible without being camped by Engineers

A small patch that raises the walls coming out from spawn because Snipers can directly scope onto the Enemy's Spawn from the higher health Plattform.

Welp. After a small hiatus of not wanting to upload the map (since it felt incomplete), I decided to just upload it and get it tested once again.

This is a semi revamp of the map adressing most of the issues people sent me. I went as far as starting a new map file and importing assets and buildings from the previous version to make it easier.

But here we are. Enjoy this new and improved version.

THIS INCLUDES:

-Made some sightlines less bad by adding some more obstacles and walls
-Adjusted the distance to the point a bit
-Added a Plattform to the Full Ammopack House for higher ground
-Made the big Ammopack near the point a medium one and moved it up to the new Platform
-Excluded HDR (it takes longer to compile and is just a pain in the arse to deal with but it'll be re-added in a future version (probably closer to beta))
-Moved the Cover by the Point closer to the actual capping area
-Removed all the orange and replaced it with white dev textures
-Added a small texture that shows the point of the Point Indicator (This Texture will be redone in the future to fit TF2's Artstyle better)
-Added a slight incline to make the map a bit less flat (these will probably be replaced with displacements someday)
-Made the layout a bit less similar to Lakeside/Viaduct/Existing Koth maps

Have some images:

-Updated the name to a2 mid3 (because I forgot how I wanted to name them (i'll increase the Alpha Number after every test it gets))
-Temorarily removed most of the env_cubemaps
-Added WCTP-Indicators (Who capped the point Indicators)

WCTPIs when no one capped (RED Side)

WCTPIs when no one capped (BLU Side)

WCTPIs when BLU capped (RED Side)

I thought i'd be a neat little thing that make my map stand out!

Happy Testing!

-Added some env_cubemaps
-Made some of "The Wall" into fences
-Switched two Ammopacks for Healthpacks
And maybe some other stuff I forgot about...
