Welp. After a small hiatus of not wanting to upload the map (since it felt incomplete), I decided to just upload it and get it tested once again.

This is a semi revamp of the map adressing most of the issues people sent me. I went as far as starting a new map file and importing assets and buildings from the previous version to make it easier.

But here we are. Enjoy this new and improved version.

THIS INCLUDES:

-Made some sightlines less bad by adding some more obstacles and walls
-Adjusted the distance to the point a bit
-Added a Plattform to the Full Ammopack House for higher ground
-Made the big Ammopack near the point a medium one and moved it up to the new Platform

-Excluded HDR (it takes longer to compile and is just a pain in the arse to deal with but it'll be re-added in a future version (probably closer to beta))
-Moved the Cover by the Point closer to the actual capping area
-Removed all the orange and replaced it with white dev textures
-Added a small texture that shows the point of the Point Indicator (This Texture will be redone in the future to fit TF2's Artstyle better)
-Added a slight incline to make the map a bit less flat (these will probably be replaced with displacements someday)

-Made the layout a bit less similar to Lakeside/Viaduct/Existing Koth maps

Have some images:

Welp here we are.

After another test we are getting fewer and fewer problems. Which is good? I think.

What has been changed?
Well...

  • Re-added the hazard tape (i accidentally removed it sorry)
  • Fixed the issue that the spawn doors wouldn't open after the round ended
  • Roofed the health building by the point up and slightly raised the walls to accompany this change
  • Increased the width of some other building… I should probably name 'em…
  • Decreased the height of multiple things (including the point plattform)
  • Added some health into the stair building
  • Added some lights into the now roofed building
  • Added some fences on the now roofed building's balcony to stop Engies from placing hard to counter sentries

Have some images!

  • Covered up the Training Player Model more to stop confusion

  • Made the space behind spawn smaller
  • Made the Slope Leading to the Middle Building Balcony not flat at the bottom
  • Removed the "Who got it" thingy

Since this is more a slight patch with some improvements, i'll just put this here:
  • Tinkered with some more optimization (NODRAW everywhere!)
  • Added some more lights in one of the Side Buidlings and the Stair Buildings
  • Added a small poster
  • Removed the shadows on the doors
  • Removed the Spots that were on the slopes of BLU Spawn
  • Made one of the Slopes into Stairs
  • Gave credit to the future 3D Modeler Kyle/Bluejay by adding a room into the BLU Tower to credit him
Things I couldn't do for this Version:
  • Add more backroutes for Spies
  • Close of the flank route of the middle building
Now get the images in here!

A more or less major one!

The changes include:

  • Switched the floor and wall textures (i.e. big dev textures and small ones)
  • Made the floor texture in most buildings the dark grey one
  • Added 2 small healthpack by the point
  • Moved the Healthpack and Ammopack in the middle building closer together
  • Replaced the medium Ammopacks outside the control point building with the balcony with small ones
  • Made the patch of the Medium Healthpack on the Balcony reappear
  • Added another Resupply Cabinet to spawn
  • Increased the size of the Control Point Plattform
  • Added another slope leading up the control point
Have more images!

Nice feel of the map.
Some details I felt: the space around spawn is too large and unecessary. Maybe reducing it to focus on central point would be good. There are also some large spaces left at the south of the map around the lowest building. Either put ammo/med or something interesting in it (slopes, hidden or plain, little building..). The colored central building can be hidings for teleporter, it would be nice to have some spot with several floors in it.
