TurbineCP_b5

Now i know you may think "hey why is he editing turbine and what not." Well i'm actually working on a new Gamemode. That involves with CTF and CPs(nothing like haarp). I'm starting out with adding the Gamemode to Turbine so i can make sure i have everything working correctly before i go ahead and implement it to map im still drawing out based around this Gamemode and same size as Turbine(which is why im using Turbine as well).

Gamemode works like this:
Objective:
To win a point,
-Gain Control of the Middle and Enemy sides capture points to Unlock Intel location.
-Ememy Team must recapture Intel Room to Lock Intel Location.

I want to get feedback on the amount of time it takes to cap a point for either to in Middle as well as the intel rooms or Should the flag stay on the ground for 30sec 10sec or just instant spawn back once dropped.

Updated: Ive added the new map to Download and ive added the CTF Hud and made CP Hud to show up horizontally

A video to see how the gamemode works

Three things.
One: people aren't fans of manipulating official maps, but they might let it slide...
Two: turbine_pro is probably a better version to start from.
Three: making a weird gametype is risky, because people need to be able to figure it out quickly.

The Asylum

ok so lemme see if im getting this right

to make the intel appear, a team has to capture both the point in their intel room and the enemy intel room, and then the enemy intel appears.

Look, I'll give it to you straight. Turbine's intel room is easily defensible, and unless the defening team is bewilderingly incompetent, invading players dont stay alive for long. I play Turbine lots and that usually how shit like this goes down. I'm not saying it's a bad idea (I'd rather not get another infraction), but you're either looking at a complete steamroll or a blackmesa-esque perpetal deathmatch.

No, The team your on already has there room Capped by default so the CP hud be like (owned by red) RedIntelroom--->MiddleNeutral<------BluIntelRoom(owned by Blu) starting off.

Also if you look at the screenshot the Intel is visible its just behind a glass door that needs to be opened by owning all well 3 points.

one: you may want to shorten the video up and turn it into a tutorial video that people can watch when playing,
two: I hope this is just a proof of concept and not what you hope to achieve fame from,
three: I can see there being so many stalemates or just one team demolishing.

Also does anyone know if there is a way to get the map on a server to get actual playtesting feedback? Instead of people just downloading the map opening up TF2 and playing it alone.

did you sign up for the next gameday? if not, you might want to lurk around that forum until a gameday pops up.

I've seen this done a few times. It's a fun game-mode IMO. The map has to be built around the idea though. Turbine, 2fort, etc. wouldn't work too well with it I think.

Here's an old classic you might want to take a look at:

The Powerhouse!!!
http://s90652007.onlinehome.us/ctf_powerhouse.html

Download link is on this page:
http://s90652007.onlinehome.us/

The map is one of my all-time favorites. I seldom see it played anymore, though :(. There are two main objectives:

1) Capture and control the Powerhouse (a single control point in the center of the map)
- Controlling the powerhouse activates a protective shield around your Intel

2) Go for the Intel
- When the powerhouse is held by your team, the opposing team's shield will be deactivated...allowing you to take their intelligence

I know that your idea is slightly different with three points, but the concept is more or less the same.

I once considered a map where controlling the center point opened an additional route to the intelligence, making it much easier to attack. Thing is, if you are controlling the center you are already winning, and adding the control point has a "win more" effect.

That is the core problem with your idea. If a team is competent enough to win the points you discuss then running the intelligence back three times amounts to adding insult to the injury.
