Pharaoh rc1

The light values Egypt uses for it's inside torches are really inadequate for anything other than a small room. I can give you the values I used for koth_tomb to help brighten up the inside areas if you want.

Probably one of my biggest issues while playing it was the spawn rooms being a bit too big and a bit confusing.

I have added it to my servers rotation. The balance is better and my regulars liked it a lot. Blue got the first point 1 out of 3 times. The 2nd point is another issue as it choked up there too.

People said that projectiles could get through the red spawn doors but I cant confirm that.

At Blues 2nd spawn you go underwater but I dont understand why there is that extra area thats a dead end.

Getting out of red spawn the logs are easy to get caught on because of there angle to the ground.

In reds spawn, the door for C shouldnt open until Blue has at least the first cap so people dont get lost.

The arch in the water now seems kinda awkward, perhaps roughen it up a bit or add interaction to it.

Feel free to join my server to see how the map goes.

love it, on rotation on slaugherhouse

um only issue with this current build is red's FIRST spawn after blue caps the second checkout two doors stay close and people get stuck insidethere, as well as you can build inside that area, potentional for griefing I DO MISS (personal thing) I miss the upper spawn exit in the first spawn but I can live without great work! I love the changes you put in overall since I last posted here

Played it this Saturday Gameday, and it's a very very strong map, I can tell it's seen some polish! The egypt style is executed very well here, indeed. There were a few things that jumped out at me as I was playing so I went through just now and took a few screenshots.


This is probably the biggest critique I have (and ties into the previous suggestions of improving the lighting). Basically, mostly everywhere you have these red overlays, they're in no way eye-catching. Signs should grab your attention, not something you search for. I think the reddish/orange tones in your lighting drowns these out. This screenshot shows it best, I think (can you find all three Red A signs?), and it's prevalent almost all over the map where the red signs are.


Just a small nitpick, but to me, this seems like torchiere overkill. It's pretty distracting and looks a bit cluttered, though this may be just my opinion.


This is a lighting issue as well as a signing one. In the spawn, you have a sign over C, but nothing to indicate the door on the right can be used too. Without the light leaking on the floor, I would have in no way be drawn to it as an available route.


I had a few issues with this particular area during Gameday, namely that it's easy to get stuck underneath, and rather difficult to get out and onto the pillar correctly. It may be a design choice to make it something to work for, but I wanted to bring it up nontheless.

Bottom line, it's a fantastic map, plays very well, and hits the egypt theme perfectly. I look forward to seeing the final result!

Moar liek pl_dust amirite

In B16a players can get up by the trees and sand near C by red spawn.

New changes are nice. Track shadows are on and aren't rendered by the mesh, so a lot of the track just has black blobs on the ground beneath them.
