Hello,

This is my first release of a map. I'm a noob at mapping so don't be too harsh. This map is a koth map situated in a swamp.

morass
Noun
1. a tract of swampy low-lying land
2. a disordered, confusing, or muddled state of affairs [Old French marais marsh]

by: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/morass

My goal was to create an awesome control point. I chose the swamp and night theme and in order to make the map more enjoyable I kinda tried to make certain paths more attractive by making them brighter. So I tried to control the playerflow by lighting certain areas more than others.

Also note that map is small and the water is damaging so the pyro isnt useless and I tried to break some sightlines in order to balance the sniper.

I have for each spawnroom 3 exits so spawncamping can be avoided (atleast I hope so).

Yeah that's it.



EDIT: I don't know how I get a working dropbox download link so if anyone could provide a tutorial link I'll be very pleased.

It's really nice so far, especially for a first map. One thing i think you should think about, and not sure whether you will agree or not, is to place your map in a location. Think why is this here, what is it that red and blue are fighting for? I think that will add a lot more setting to the map.

overall great job so far, I can't wait to play it. :D

after looking more carefully at my map, there are few bugs, such as a displacement showing up wrong and even missing ones.

about the location, I really dont have an idea for a 3d skybox...

I looked in the internet for pics in a swamp and how they do built their stuff there but no luck :/
