The Blue vs. Red Team Payload Saga Continues… Episode # 502

In this episode, the Blue and Red team accidently decide to take a vacation in Roswell, New Mexico at the exact same time when a shiny object falls out of the sky.

As they approach the ship from different sides, a vortex opens up and they are both spirited away to an abandoned, yet still functional, space station.

Neither team knows if they will make it back to earth or not, but, one thing is certain – they’re not going to let the other team have the technology .

________________________________________________________________________

Beta 8 has been released

Blue pushes both carts to the end at the same time - then they push 1 final cart to victory.

I know there's still a lot of work to be done on it but it's a start :)

Ok have been doing some more work on it - the glass walls may or may not show up in the pictures right but they are there.

This is the right side entrance into the fusion reactor (alt path tunnel is to the right) I am lookinh at putting in a second ramp on the right side.

This is the alt path tunel -

The main reactor room with Core A and B and the antimatter pit - which is why I'm working on the dual concept mode - blue pushes both carts to the cap point - the blue doors open and they they push the final cart into the pit for the big boom.

I have posted a pre-alpha map (the other side isn't mirrored yet) for you to run around in - any comments or suggestions are welcome but you can see where I'm starting to take this :)

Update - info needed - Any ideas where or if I should put in mid spawn points, ammo and health? Also, lighting - odd lighting on tracks in an out ot the buildings. I've cranked up the env_light for this compile but lighting suggestions would also be appreciated :)

Beta 2 released - please download it and let me know how you like it!

Now for the thanks to:

A Boojum Snark - map library resource
UKCS-Alias - the dual payload game concept mode - he saved me a lot of work at the start with his code which I then modified even more
Berry - for letting me know about the radius thing when I thought half my map disappeared
Frozen - for something that I can't currently remember
Paulmega - for helping me out with pesky teleporter issue

Thanks for the map test on the game day - am making the changes now.

I'm going to do a tele jump for blue also - does anyone know a good glowing ball type of entity?

Maybe how to change the vpk file you were taking about.

I think this map may have serious fun potential - you can do 360's in space coming out of a teleportation chute and for more fun do it as a charging demo!

This might be the best looking map I've done!
