CP_OVERLOAD
By Gijs "Dustoxx" Smit

I began doing some sketches yesterday with paint for fun. Something with 3 points in a small area. But since I actually didn't like that I just changed some things to a 5 point map.

I'm focusing now on the layout and entity's. So it plays (hopefully) smooth on gameday

The first Alpha is coming most likely tomorrow or even tonight.

changed to "cp" for you :lol:

 

[ikem]

love the layout.

 

[Shmitz]

I do like the fact that the winning side will have to actively defend the center point as they go after the last one. They can't just rely on offense running through the area to take care of any opposing forces.

Since the egypt textures and models are useable. I'm think of making this map egypt-ish. Shall i do it? And do i need to major change the layout foor the pilars and stuff?

Personally, I love the way egypt looks. It reminds me of the Serious Sam games, which I really enjoyed. That said, I know a lot of people who think it doesn't fit with tf2. I disagree, but just keep that in mind.

Yeah, the look of Egypt can work in TF2. It just needs to be more grounded in the 60's setting. Just make sure that you find good places to add spytech stuff. Opened tombs revealing computers; piles of gold and treasure with an intel case on top, maybe a skybox pyramid with it's top split open; revealing the dustbowl rocket etc.

The central cp would certainly benefit from a set of pillars providing cover.

 

[Dustoxx]

Okay, i'm sure now that i am going for the egypt style. I've already changed the layout to fit it more.

So erm, anyone got an idea to use blue and red in the egypt style?
I was thinking of changing the little edges; found on: control points, wallsm etc. Like making them soft blue/red. So the color doesn't comes out to much.

 

[Dustoxx]

Made some good overview and tried making the control points egypt-ish.

To do list:
-Work on lighting.
-Edit height of buildings.
-Wait for feedback

 

[Dustoxx]

I've been thinking about the map name. And I didn't think it fits the map. Because it has actually nothing to do with overload.

So i was thinking about a name and this is what was in my mind:
Amarna ( some place in Egypt )
Cairo ( some place in Egypt )
Abydos ( Egypt's City of Osiris )

Anyone has suggestions?

 

[Fogold]

Cp_Thutmose (a pharaoh)
cp_Kemet (a reference to the blackish land around the Nile)

Just a couple

 

[NovaSilisko]

I vote Cairo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo

 

[Phobos]

I would choose a name that goes well with the ruin textures/geometry. The name of a ruin site. Cairo is too modern for that, so Abydos sounds more fitting. Or, what about Thebes or Luxor as new contenders?

 

[Dustoxx]

Sorry for crashing, guys. I was so dumb to add the wrong file.
This is the good one: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=5551
Hopefully till next gameday...

re: cp_overload_a1c

I think for the MOST part...you could probably grab the whole map and do a transform 0.75. It seems too big to me.

The part of the map between spawn and final point...these ledges seem too high. If they are meant to be too high without rocketjumping...I have to question why you would choose to make that area so hard to defend since it's pretty much at the last point.

I remember playing this one, and something seemed a little a-symmetrical about it. It was either one team got to the center faster or it wasn't exactly symmetrical...
