wow looking good!!!

i have a similar map idea too. mine is set in an alpine setting where both teams blew a hole into a underground base in the wilderness. the difference is both teams each blew a hole into the base, and its underground, and mine is a sort of ctf map (at least part of it..)

when i opened this thread and saw your first screenshot i was like this:

:eek:hmy:

because your hole looks very similar to mine lol

i look forward to seeing more of your map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p

to make ramps I just make a brush and use the clipping tool to get the required slope.

I think I've found a name that fits well. How does cp_matterhorn sound? Let me know! Matterhorn being a large mountain found near Italy/Switzerland. I think it rolls well.

Not to sound like a jackass but I know how to make a ramp heh, what I'm trying to build is a ramp that starts flat with the ground and, once a point is captured, raises on an angle and stop once it is flush with the higher level, as seen above.

More updates to come, thanks for the positive feedback guys!

Couldnt you make some kind of triggered door that opens at an angle? Im actually really new to mapping but I think thats how some people make elevators.

Matterhorn is a good name, but it just isn't if you don't have any matterhorns in the map :)

Other than that, the map sounds awesome

make the ramp a func_door_rotating. then just mess with the values and spawnflags. to make it rotate along the correct axis, and to rotate the appropriate number of degrees. then when you want to activate it give it a targetname and use the input output system

I'm making good progress lately. I've finished my initial layout for the entire map save for the final point, and all capture points are running smoothly. Besides creating the final area, I just need to finish brushwork, put down the game-affecting props (cover and doorframes) and do a bit of clipping. Oh and fix some input/outputs and filters.

EDIT: Crap I should mention the lack of roofs is strictly for development's sake. Don't worry, the map isn't going to be open like that lol.

Anyway picture time:

And finally a question for you all. Do you think this hallway is too cramped? I believe it's 128 Units tall, only giving Heavies like 20 Units of headroom. I designed it to be tight-quarters, but I worry it's too small...

i think its fine as long as the hallway is short. but maybe you could up it to 256 units high so it doesnt feel claustrophobic

Quick update, I've completed the layout of the map, as well as built most of the Input/Output systems. All that's left before the first alpha adding some test lighting and fixing up a few mistakes I've neglected to fix :)

Here's the layout for the final cap:
cap5.jpg


Cap D is on the right, E in the middle, C hidden under the roof on the left.
E will be accessible after capping B, however attacker's routes are limited at first.
There is a main entrance in front of E (connecting to the outside) that starts closed.
Capping C will open the main entrance doors
Capping D will raise the stairs needed for the majority of classes to access the main entrance
E will have a long cap time like (though not as long as) steel's final cap.

CP_MATTERHORN

5 Capture Point - Attack/Defend style map
-----------------------------------------------------
Alpha 1 - February 9, 2009

Extract to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\USERNAME\team fortress 2\tf\maps

Notes:
RED TEAM - Dropping down to B will get you stuck until A is capped, so for your sake don't go to B unless you are setting up early
Lighting - Very poor at in this version, will refine in later alphas
Looping sounds - I've removed most of the looping sounds as they refused to stop, however there may be one or two that I have missed. My apologies!

PLEASE REPORT ANY ERRORS, GLITCHES, POOR CONSTRUCTION ETC.

And have fun :D

Remember, this is a test for gameplay more than anything. Aesthetic criticism should be avoided unless it is a recommendation or suggestion, which I wholeheartedly accept!

CP_MATTERHORN

5 Capture Point - Attack/Defend style map
-----------------------------------------------------
Alpha 2 - February 12, 2009

Extract to:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\USERNAME\team fortress 2\tf\maps

Fixed:
- Some doors moving up into the floor of upper levels
- All looping sounds
- Raised Capture times
  • - A set to 8
  • - B set to 10
  • - C & D set to 12
  • - E set to 30
- Capping E before all other points results in a win
- Red Spawn 2 (lower level) now has stairs leading to E
- Blue spawn time now set to 2
- Red and Blue both receive intro messages (attack/defend)
- Added some textures (cheers to Nova Slisko for his Alpine rock texture :thumbup:)
- Added some extra lighting
- Clipped some high roofs and the sewers

Known issues:
- Red still gets stuck if they drop to B before A is capped. A visual_filter has been added over the B sign until A is capped
- Pyros can shoot through setup gates
- Standing on the lift ramp from B to the upper level while it's rising pauses it


PLEASE REPORT ANY ERRORS, GLITCHES, POOR CONSTRUCTION ETC.

And have fun :D

Hate to make bumps like this, but I thought I'd give some progress updates.

First off, a3 is nearly complete. Despite us testing a2 on the weekend I've noted most of the problems and fixed all of them, at least I hope I have heh.

- I've added a lot more cover to address how wide open the map was.
- Added more signs, and some overlays that explain what conditions open what routes
- Made some larger rooms smaller
- Added a RED-specific route between B and the upper level

Plus I've begun detailing, as the following screens will suggest.

When playing yesterday I feel map is way too big. All those huge rooms make me feel lost. Maybe its because they still lack details.
