3-CP map in "reversed-gravelpit" mode (A, B+C). Both teams got 2 spawns, switch occurs after point A is captured. B&C got long capture times, paired with rather short travel distance and spawn time for attackers it ends up as constant fight and capture interruptions. B to C distance is also rather short and got multiple routes avalible for both teams at any time giving different advantages when preferring one to another. Point A build for some intence vertical combat as it basicly got 3 "height" levels.

Main goal that made the design of this map was constant and rther tight fight, with ability to flank rather fast and prevent "sentry locking" of points by being able to capture different points and easili travel between them.

This version uses the second revision of experemental spawn logic introduced back in second beta. The idea is adjusting spawn times on capturing points to prevent "ninja-capturing" as the map is overall rather small. So after any point got captured BLU gets a 15-second cooldown and red got 15-second instant spawn. This logic prooved to work seamless and rather effective.

well..i fixed most of that. The most painful for me was to find the teleporter and "big hole" displacement issue. The displacement issue was never there, even in .vmf its there, it was a compile issue. About teleporter the nobuild trigger simply wasnt there. Thank you again. Anyone else got anything to report?

A couple of annoying things that are out of place in an RC:

cp_heaven_rc0000.jpg

Some weird clip here, I think. Makes me bump when I walk over it.

cp_heaven_rc0001.jpg

Clip that.

cp_heaven_rc0002.jpg

These stairs are ugly (make a trim) and you need to clip them as well. That goes for all other equal stairs of course.

cp_heaven_rc0003.jpg

Fences like these are annoying because to a casual player it looks like they can be shot through. The same goes for the wire at C. You should cover the fences with something (metal?) or make this a window.

cp_heaven_rc0004.jpg

Tiny signs are really ugly.

cp_heaven_rc0005.jpg

Weird fade distance on the metal sheet.

cp_heaven_rc0006.jpg

All those boxes have bad fading.

Other than the bugs I found, this map is excellent! I had very much fun on it, and I don't miss D at all. :)

after more and more feedback i get i decided to make some layout changes as well.
Point B now has more space inside as the attackers balcony is now smaller, also, there is a new entrance to point C to resolve a "corridor bottleneck" as red could enter it from 2 sides while blu got only 1 entrance. In other news, im thinking of adding second spawn exits for BLU forward spawn, still not sure as there were no reports of spawn camping. Finally, all the issues listed above got resolved.

Hopefully i'll be able to get a test of _rc2_test1 version that inludes all this today.

And here goes a new entrance to C (clips and hint\skip visgroup turned off here)

I've got a collection of over 60 pictures, and I feel rude posting them in this thread because it's 14.4 mb to download, lol.

Basically, I'll put all the BBCode into a PHP box. Then you quote me, remove the PHP tags, and click "preview post". That will show you all my feedback properly :)

PHP:
This is chock full of pictures! 62 overall I believe! :D I don't think there's much or any gameplay feedback here, but i'm definitely sad to see point D leave :(

This building seems to have broken very uniformly and with no waste or rubble whatsoever. Wut. Also, why are those trims playerclipped but the loudspeaker is not? Those trims provided me with a great hiding spot for spy in the older versions of the map

Add signs or something else so the player really knows they're supposed to go up there!

This prop needs a trim to cover the empty bit.

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0019.jpg[/IMG]
Let blue team know they're allowed up there, even if you just put a small sign or ammo pack in clear sight. Also why is there a crane thing (just at the end of the rocket launcher) on that building? It makes no sense! :X

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0020.jpg[/IMG]

This was really weird. If I rocket jumped at this door and held down W...

...I would stay suspended in midair until I let go.

Why tease players with the ability to climb the boxes if they can't get behind the fence? Remove either a box or the player clip

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0025.jpg[/IMG]
Door is wrong way around

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0026.jpg[/IMG]
This needs fixing with regards to the lighting. Why are the props pitch black and why is the ceiling weirdly lit?

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0027.jpg[/IMG]
I know this is out of bounds, but maybe nodraw that?

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0028.jpg[/IMG]
Random red light behind a grate. Real clever idea! >.<

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0029.jpg[/IMG]
What narrative purpose does this serve? A bunch of barrels in an unenterable ditch with two red lights in it. Maybe add a conveyor belt, or a door at least

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0030.jpg[/IMG]
This feels really claustrophobic because of the grate texture. Not sure what you can do about that other than make the grate a bit thinner though

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0031.jpg[/IMG]
Silly, obvious displacement error, plus you should probably clip these fences

Rocket jump up here to a tiny ledge...

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0033.jpg[/IMG]
Then sidle around and get to this rooftop.

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0035.jpg[/IMG]
Very bland, ugly spawn room, and it's very far back from the action. Make sure to set the spawn times correctly!

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0037.jpg[/IMG]
Needs better indication that you can't go through, even if it's just another stripey line underneath

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471205/mapsfeedback/HEAVEN/cp_heaven_rc0038.jpg[/IMG]
Should probably clip this
