He was making a joke about the compiler (specifically VRAD, the lighting portion) telling you the map would be "bad" / "don't submit it to the contest, you know what I won't even let you" / "Four carts you're insane". It told you this by taking 7 hours.

Jokes.

that's okay neither do I, 3hours of sleep does some shit to you

wait. that was it.

This looks bad:


Your cart is floating http://puu.sh/ju3P1/f42700e39d.jpg

The map is a big giant dark box with insane sightlines http://puu.sh/ju3Ox/b672301ada.jpg

Dispenser particle broken http://puu.sh/ju3Rh/09e59de3e7.jpg also there's something weird and invisible above this cart

This is confusing http://puu.sh/ju3S8/25104e6cb3.jpg

Your in game text says 3 carts but I only found 2 and won.

Your custom HUD work seems to have been for nothing, because I see none of it.

Your use of texture, scale, layout, lighting, and game design all don't fit in TF2 at large. It's a cool idea but this isn't a TF2 map. It's just two huge formulaic boxes with basic geometry thrown in. A two cart push for BLU sounds like it would be really interesting in an actual TF2 map, if the HUD was workable, but it isn't workable.

I feel like all the maps I see from you have the same basic problems: layout is too large, open, flat; too many gimmicks are happening at once; the player pathing is too vast and confusing to really grasp immediately. I think you should go back and reexamine feedback on your old maps and note the similarities, because I feel like in all the feedback I've given to you in threads and in playtests, you've never absorbed a word of it.

I think you should try making a properly scaled, normally detailed TF2 map. Just do a payload map with no gimmicks. I feel like you missed all your fundamentals and went right into weird experimental stuff and it hasn't paid off for you. But that's my feeling. If you're solving problems with teleporters, your map design doesn't work. It's that simple. Your maps like this will be a thousand times better if you learn to map for TF2 first and then experiment later.
