Trainwreck - A small King Of The Hill map based around trains. My first map.

This is a small King Of The Hill map that I made. It was inspired by koth_viaduct and koth_harvest.

To Do List (things I'm still doing):
1. Add more skybox detail
2. Fix leaks
3. Fix Skybox error
4. Add spectator cameras
5. Add to Steam Workshop (Maybe?)

The leaks were fixed, but I compiled again just now and they exist. I think I messed up my skybox a bit, not as in skybox errors, but as in it may be causing the leak.

And also to any newcomer, I know the screenshots are bad quality.

It'll be fixed when I have time to do it.

After a liiiiitle bit of testing,I found STUFF!

yay

First of all,it's an A1,and you already did a shit ton of working (aka "detailing",displacements,etc). It's pointless. Sort of.

In alpha your map is going to change. A LOT. Like,maybe add a route here,or remove this other route,or edit a current route (Trust me,your map is going to change a lot too.),and it's a real pain to just do all that when you've done 5H of work detailing/making displacements/making it look awesome.

Now,for the little "gameplay" I just did:

- RED texture on BLU spawn.

ALSO,both spawns looks way too cramped. Maybe expand them,and MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. Add a third exit?

Sniper sightness-ish-whateverthemappersknowswhatimtalkingabout.

You basically can snipe the enemy's spawn from these positions (Maybe even snipe from the spawn itself?),and that's a bad thing.

Yes,you've done a second exit,but it should be used when they're getting a big spawncamping... Like,5 meters away from the door. Not 5000. (You get the idea)

Also,the point itself is really small. And the ammo-health on the corners (ALL the corners) are,well... Way too much into the corner zone. :V

These big wooden fences are not playerclipped. I noticed you ACTUALLY playerclipped a little bit (I think where the medium health is,under that "sniper-camping-stuff". People could get stuck there while running away,and well... get killed.

And THIS. Is REALLY pointless. Yes,it's a full health pack,but STILL,WHY should I just crouch myself into it? I could just get back to spawn. It's faster and more safe than THAT. People are going to die there. A LOT.

Sooooo yeah. That's it. I think. I just did a 5min gameplay. Nothing fancy,just "quick stuff". Maybe someone can give you a better/more detailed feedback.

It has potencial,yes. But you should work more on the map. MOAR I SAID! (ง︡'-'︠)ง

Thanks Rata. I'm going to do a big edit right now, and more soon. I still don't know how to counter the sniper sightline to the spawn door. Would it be better to add another door there or to just move the exit?

First of all,try to make the map bigger. Look at all the KotH maps: King,Nucleus,Viaduct,Badlands. Check what they have,what they don't have,and try to add it to your map.

Sky's the limit... and all that stuff. ye.

Also, I still have no idea what to put in the courtyard outside of spawn. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks @Rayere, and sorry for unintentionally taking your name. Now I need to think of another one...

What about Traincrash, is that taken? (Probably)

No need to be sorry! :D
And making your map around train-something theme is a hard work namewise. People around here like trains. *cough* trainsawlazer *cough* @Crash *cough*
