Decompile it and change the qc file, but then you need to pakrat that in as it will really be a new model.

I wouldn't necessarily say make it bigger... make some small changes and then test?

I thought I'd mentioned this before, but I can't seem to find where I posted it. The merging of different types of gamplay in this map is really exciting. I love the evolving nature of the battlefield as it revolves around the cart in a payload map, but I also enjoy the back-and-forth of 5 point cp maps. Here the combination of the two promises to create a really fun gameplay style that, in my opinion combines the best of both worlds - something that I mentioned on my blog today. I keep missing gameday, but I'm hoping to get a chance to play this one soon.
Cool concpet with 2 way cart, was fun to play. For some reason we (red) kept losing.
Never gotta play blu but it seems like they always came out of a top spawn and red came out bottom. Not sure if both sides are the same, they seem like it in layout.
I got there late so I was just learning layout.
Inside areas for PL was cool.
It seems like good gameplay but has a long way to go with details so I'm sure it'll only get better.

Well I invited some friends, and they like to play with each other.
Unfortunately for team balance, they are all very good at the game.
The gameday was fantastic! The map played out very well (albeit a few bugs) and everybody enjoyed it!
I believe I'm finished with the bulk of the layout, and I'm going to start detailing now.

Yeah you did
Those boys are pretty tough over at [Q] so I'm used to being punished by them.
Fortunately there I am somethimes on their team which wasn't the case during gameday.

I've just begun detailing (yes, I'm not making an orange map).
Here are some pics of the [nearly finished] central courtyard.
Still looks a bit plain, though. I'm not finished yet.
The gameplay changes I've made in this area are:
-removed area under the bridge
-added short barriers for cap area
-moved the pickups onto the alternate paths to encourage more use of it.
Oh yes, and all the bugs from the a2 playtesting have been fixed <3
Map Beta ETA 3 weeks?

I was so surprised a couple weeks ago when I found this map, because I had come up with the linear payload idea myself seperately! Looks brilliant so far.
The lightmap shadows seem too distinct IMHO. After all, the whole point of the map is pollution and haziness, right? You might want to try playing with the SunSpreadAngle in the light_environment entity.

Looking very cool mate, nice work
Looks great. Much better than the dev tex
I think closing off under the bridge was a really good idea. Coming out of those doors and facing the other team was a bit overwhelming during gameday.
The only thing I think I would change is the position of the decal/speaker on the red building.
The speaker throws a shadow on the logo, they look kindof squished together. A little breathing room would be cleaner.

Detailing is roughly 50% complete. I just finished touching up BLU's entrance, and made RED's Entrance.
I was ashamed of what the pseudo-neutral building looked liek before, which is why none of my other screenshots showed it. I added some sex to it and now it is something I can be proud of.
And of course, Red Shed Distillery (Note: No Skybox made yet)

*wowed* This is looking awesome! I can't wait till it's 100% finished so I can play what seems to be another great payload map.
