Yeah. Work on the skybox. It looks bad, plus http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20001.jpg shows the map is floating.


The first Clipcheck of 2011!!!! Hardhat is so simple, this is more a normal feedback post than a clipcheck. Most of the following applies to both sides of the map, so fix it on both sides. Only one, maybe two, don't apply to both sides.

Red texture in BLU spawn
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20002.jpg
That's actually dev texture. So on top of the fact that you need to texture that doorway wall (and the doorway's ceiling), fix the lighting wizardry going on.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20004.jpg
The nails along the wall, the saw, and the tiny box of nails are all solid. Make them not. Also, on each doorway for that middle shack on the side, you've got different textures for the doorway wall. On one wall, dev. On the two inner, the same texture as the inside of the shack. On the other door's outer face, you've got metal. Even it out, make it uniform.

Clipping
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20008.jpg
Clip the pole on the right so that I may walk out on the right side of the door and not get stopped. A simple angled clip will do the job.

You're doing good, Wall. I shall salute you while on this sign.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20010.jpg
I can actually crouch in through the hole there and get another way into the point. You only wanted two dropdowns, not four, right?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20011.jpg
What is the point of this. I ran that direction with the intent of walking off the ledge. I was prevented from doing so by a tiny shin-high wall that I barely saw that seems to serve no purpose.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20012.jpg
Why must I go left? Isn't right just as acceptable?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20013.jpg
A similar issue to 0008, clip the pole at the doorway so I don't get stuck walking out.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1490725/arena_hardhat_b20014.jpg
I can build back here.




Yep.

 

[heyyou]

Looking great from the screens. Nice brushwork!

 

[Jimmy]

What is this I don't even. An arena map? A map made by Penguin? I need to check this out.

 

[HellJumper]

There is red texture in blu spawn.
The skybox's texture scale needs to be ramped down.
Playerclips around the beams.
Also, there is no sun entity.

I mentioned all of these in feedback nodes yesterday as well. Just in case you didn't get them

 

[Penguin]

Why would I have a sun entity when I have a sun model?

NECROPOST.

I thought I did this a while ago, but uhh... anyway:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4072938/Pictures/arena_hardhat_b2_clip_the_top_of_this_ramp.jpg
I can get stuck sometimes when I go to walk down this ramp, consider making it a non-solid func_brush and just making a clip ramp inside of it with a cutoff to be flat at the top.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4072938/Pictures/arena_hardhat_b2_scale_ground_texture_3d_skybox_1.jpg
This is something nobody else has elaborated a whole lot on, but the dirt texture needs to be scaled down to 1/64 or 1/32 if 1/64 is too repetitive looking. It's just so pixelated, and I can see each individual grain of dirt!
You can see it better here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4072938/Pictures/arena_hardhat_b2_scale_ground_texture_3d_skybox_2.jpg

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4072938/Pictures/arena_hardhat_b2_perhaps_a_bit_dark.jpg
Also, I think the building that houses the point is a little dark inside, something that nobody has seemed to mention. Just a little too dark, not a whole lot, but enough to be uncharacteristic of TF2.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4072938/Pictures/arena_hardhat_b2_corner_is_a_bit_bare.jpg
I just kinda noticed this corner of the building is a little bare, consider putting pipes or a poster or something there.

I found a few other things that Little already posted, but that's about it. It's been a couple months since you've released anything, and I don't want to see this die. :<

[Penguin]

why the fuck was he so mad

 

[Seba]

Yyler the Necrobumper

Peng: because Hardhat is a great map for snipers, oh wait.

 

[Boylee]

Bumping for progress Pengy.

Also does anyone else want to see a KotH version of this?

 

[Wilson]

Pretty sure this is too small for KOTH.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Yea, you couldn't do a direct port to koth, it would need some buffer areas. It could be easily done, but would take time and some effort, and some testing...

 

[Seba]

koth_hardhat just sounds bad

 

[Prestige]

this is a good arena map that could use some good detailing and maybe a bit of layout tweaking. every damn arena map on here becomes a koth map and it's just stupid.

Runaway's not going KoTH...

And, I like Hardhat as an arena map, I played it a bit early on, but reallly enjoyed it.

Problem is that (last time I checked anyway) you can't run an arena map on a regular server, it fucks all the configs up. Consequence of this is that we never run arena maps on the playstuff server. Also arena servers are much rarer than regular ones.

I reckon that this would make a good KotH map with a few buffer areas. But hey, that's just me.

Either way, I'd be interested in seeing hardhat finished, hence the bump. :3
