The main page says A8 and so did the file name on the download page! D: I told FLOOR it was an old version and he stopped the test so if the team switched the outcome could have been different.

aw,sorry mate,this thread does not belong to me...ive now got caldera_pre_a11 uploaded on the tf2maps..u can try it or wait for full _a11 version soon as this one got some minor issues and is here for testing only

I will give FLOOR the heads up on the new version. But next time try to keep the map version link up to date just saying. Also you gave me an idea about how to improve the forums!

Aye, my fault, I've been at a lan and haven't been able to update it today

EDIT: I'll update it now with A11. if you wanna test it

Hellfire · May 30, 2009

I found some flickering surfaces in Stage 2 that you might want to fix:

Hellfire · May 30, 2009

honestly,there are 5 places i know with that problem) anyway thx

Hellfire · May 31, 2009

bad news is that there will be no a11 till next GD,i suppose

good are,ive got three more screens from further tuned HDR version) enjoy

Hellfire · Jun 1, 2009

thx for testing yesterday. well..based on in-game feeds i cdn say we went right direction re-making the whole stage, but it still nrrds polishing

>add 2nd exit to both spawns on stage2
>make A less and B more SG-frienly
>fix trxtures
>fix green shadows
>fix the ability to leavr map nad to get into blu spawn for red
>fix rocket-stuck issue

but overall, i liked tha gameplay alot more thta nreviouq one) cya on gameday with finished and polished alpha11

I think A is, at the moment fine, and does not need changes in regards to sentries, where as B does.

Aside from the graphical issues, you've done epic work on the map. would you like me to redo the displacements? (Although I saw nothing wrong with them while ingame)

Hellfire · Jun 1, 2009

well,alpha11 development is going good. so it will be out in day or two
apart from that i made a test with both HDR on and off. It seems that perfomance drop is not so big ive expected, in 3 fps controll points ita was from 155 to 144, from 188 to 170 and from 190 to 172,so i can now focus on layout and not optimisation.

still i will wait for GD to see whats happeneing with fps on other players PCs

Hellfire · Jun 2, 2009

alpha 11 is here!!!
featuring new stage,HDR and much more

DL page HERE

Shaar · Jun 2, 2009

eyyy

nice to see you get A11 out.

anyway, did you manage to fix up the displacements that I didn't have time to finish? Or...

I'll update the main page now.

Hellfire · Jun 2, 2009

well..partly. they are still not optimised but no stucking or anything there

Shaar · Jun 2, 2009

ah alright. I'll work on it when I get home tonight If you would like. I'll also need to try and get some ideas for stage 3 though.

yeah,some light sources are too bright. the reason i released is that i wont be able to work on it in next days\week so i need some version for ppl to test.

there are also some dev textures in stage2,but..i will just say thats why it has alpha and not beta status

AntonJ3000 · Jun 2, 2009

Here's some problems I found under the testing:
ALERT! BIG PICTURES INCOMING

(Also in that picture, you can see that you placed the respawnroomvisualizer outside instead of inside)

Also, in Stage 1 red spawn, The resupply locker have no animation.
And in alot of places in stage 2, the respawnroomvisualizer is missaligned

Hellfire · Jun 2, 2009

Whoaaa,seems like alot of things to do) super arch mega über thanks for feedback))

Hellfire · Jun 3, 2009

BOOM! Headshot!

alpha12 is here sooner than anyone could expected)

changelog and downloadlink HERE

well..yes. its a 3-stage map,so st stage is easiest for blu,2nd is harder and 3rd s the hardest. so i can say blu got advantage in stage1

I think your just giving blue the first stage.

nipet said:
about cp2..it has different ways u can attack it,lower pass,upper left and right. right one has one way door for blu to build teles etc,but it can be taken out by red with either rocketjumping or flancking through lower pass.

The lower pass is very unappealing to attack from. While you could rocket jump or double jump at top left. It's not something to be used a lot. I think way too often people are gonna go top right down the hill to cp and gg.

The new 2-1 could use another exit out of spawn.
