So we have the Swamp, Construction and Japan theme packs which are all great, but I'm a huge fan of snow themed maps. I feel like there's a severe lack of content for snow themed maps which is why I would love to see an arctic theme pack.
I've just put together a list of things I think would be good additions to a snow/arctic theme pack.
I want to hear everyone's thoughts on this idea and would be super glad if people would be interested in contributing as this is something I really want to see happen.
Cheers,
iibo

TF2Maps.net Arctic Theme Pack
textures and stuff
- More snow blend textures to blend snow with a wider range of materials
- textures of brick/metal with snow on them (bricks aren't flat :v )
- Wayyy more snow overlays (overlays/snow_patch, overlays/snow_horizontalwood and overlays/snow_footsteps are real lame)
- actual ice textures
- new skyboxes for snowy/arctic environments
models etc
- a snowplow-truck
- an icebreaker ship (full-scale and skybox?)
- more stuff for interiors so that the mercs don't freeze to death (i'm thinkin radiators, space heaters, coats on hooks)
- more snow covered rocks and things
- snowy variants of objective props (payload cart, australium/intel briefcase etc.)
- more foliage
- maybe piles of snow? (displacements are a thing but ya never know)
particles
- way more and way better snow particles
- steam particles for vents and chimneys
i was also thinking we could possibly include some of cp_snowplow's assets (snow covered crates & barrels, that really nice cliff blend texture that YM made etc.)
I want to hear everyone's thoughts on this idea and would be super glad if people would be interested in contributing as this is something I really want to see happen.
