Gonna be pushing this out into beta real soon (hopefully within 10 days).
If anyone wants to help out, please message me because i'd love to work alongside someone who has ideas on how to get the detail on this map looking even better (especially the point area, I have no clue what to do with that).
Besides that, i'm also looking for custom assets! I don't know what custom assets specifically, but some signs would be a good start.
Thanks

There's already multiple maps with this gamemode type (often referred to as push CtF or occasionally invade CtF), which all use the same "ctf_" gamemode string. There's no need to change the name if it already fits; there's like five different gamemodes which use "cp_".
As for how long it took to make, you can look through the version history of the map. The first version was uploaded on the 7th of February 2020, and went through five major alpha releases before getting to beta (though it is based off of Isotope, which had just under 20 updates), and has had three major beta releases up to this point

If you mean just building the map in hammer, about 3 months (to where I am now).
If you include planning, research, and everything else, around a year.

I wish I could understand what was being said in this thread but ronii's messages are so messy all I can read is them flexing about how they developed their own maps with nitpicky feedback added on. Try to keep it more relevant to the map itself, right? Since I've seen you have had a history of trying to flex your own development.
This post in particular just ticks me off.
This post in particular just ticks me off.
The compiler will automatically nodraw most textures it deems as not being visible, so there's no need to nodraw all non-visible surfaces in most instances.
Not much I can do about this, i've tried to get the correct lighting and textures but seamless transitions are pretty difficult. I'll see what I can do in future but it probably won't be much
...what?
This area is clipped due to the complex props here, if it was unclipped players could get easily stuck.
again... what?
???
I appreciate the feedback but a lot of this is really confusing. Also; you've attached images but not actually put them into any context, so I need to try and match them to what you're trying to say and i'm pretty sure i've got some of them wrong because of this.
Apologies if this comes off as harsh, but if you aren't going to take the time to make yourself clear and concise, then why should we take the time to listen to you? You pride yourself on taking so much time to develop a map, and yet complain about taking the time to make sure people actually understand what you're saying, and if what you're saying is wanted. If you want to be taken seriously, then you better start acting seriously lest you be dismissed as someone who won't amount to much. I generally have a rule that I don't speak up unless I think the conversation would benefit from me doing so; if what you have to say has no meaning, then why say it at all? Also, general rule of forum etiquette, but double posting (that is, posting two posts in a row with no replies from other people in between) is generally frowned upon, as it adds unnecessary clutter.
Keep in mind that I am not attacking you, and I have no personal qualms against you; this is a community based around criticism and the betterment of ones self, and I am merely criticizing your actions, in particular failing to listen to others. I would not be surprised if some of this is new information for you, and I am not holding you responsible for not knowing, but it is better to learn what mistakes you're committing early on and take steps to correct them than to continue suffering from them later on down the line. It may hurt now, but it'll make the future much easier for you.
(Apologies to Star and Sandwhip for continuing to derail the thread; if this discussion continues, I'll make efforts to move it elsewhere)
