CP Imbricatus a5

After an ungodly amount of work, I finally finished the layout! I should have a playable alpha really soon.

The shot is taken immediately outside blue spawn to show the new blue height advantage for the first area. Also, if you look in the back at the red building, that is the building the final point is in and will be where a large red tower of sorts will be visible. A visual clue as to where to go if you will - and from the first area too.

B







And now for the new layout stuff! Coming from B and just up the hill



Which leads to this



Then to get to C, you go either left or right



If you pick left it goes here



If you pick right it goes here

Here you can see all the different heights blue can attack the final point. This and the two sniper windows in the center

Man, this looks awesome. Hope it plays better than Proletariat.

I'm thinking that people will want to run up the hazard strip things at C to get on it, though it doesn't look possible? Maybe something to look at.

Thanks guys.

Oh and Yyler, those beams are a gameplay feature, walking up them is encouraged. It requires a crouch jump at the top though and ever class can do it.

Hey was a designer for the black mesa source game.

So I would say he's done a tiny bit.

Still am

But yeah, I have been doing this for 8 years. What you see there is a fuck ton of practice and work.

Having been busy with black mesa since its release, I havent worked on the map till today. But, what I did manage today is fucking awesome :thumbup1:

I got the skybox in like I wanted and the final point finally makes sense! I wanted the player to be able to see WHERE the final point was just outside spawn. My original plan was to have the final point turn on a massive laser that fires into the sky and kills all of the people still standing on the point once its capped.

bottom left of this image is the first exit from blue spawn, so this is the beginning of the map

From inside point C







From below point C so show the alignment of the laser reactor things



Just a shot of my improved blue spawn



And thanks to yyler for editing the nucleus prop for me.

Okay after much work, A1 is complete. Yyler, since I know you will see this, can you please put my map into the gameday event on sunday under the second time slot? I probably wont be at home when you post the thread tonight.
