CP_BADWATER_RAIN_ALPINE

Some say it's boring/unoriginal/criminal/stupid/fantastic to take Valve maps and change the game type. Those people are all correct, especially that last guy. Give him a raise.

But cp_badwater_rain_alpine_ace_attorney_episode_2_empire_strikes_back isn't just a Valve map with a different game type, because that would be far too easy. It's also a Valve map with rain particles plastered everywhere, because all the cool kids at Facepunch are doing it these days and I just want to fit in. :(

But wait! There's more! Order now and I'll throw in a poorly-done retexturing job, complete with Sawmill grass and alpine rocks, absolutely free! That's right, a Valve map with a new game type, rain, and a new theme, free of charge! It doesn't get any more creative than this, folks.

Made on a bored Saturday afternoon for kicks and giggles. Credits to VelvetFistIronGlove for the alpine rocks and Psy for the colliding rain particles.

note: first person to tell me I'm unoriginal and/or uncreative and/or unfunny gets my congratulations for missing the point and/or being entirely correct

I honestly think this looks good for being a rethemed valve map, but still I don't really like recompiled valve maps.

Though i'd suggest you not posting it on tf2maps, most people here do aswell not like recompiled valve maps.

Eheh, funny.
Did you really do all this in an afternoon ? You must have been /really/ bored :D

Looking forward to see a real map by you.

Haha. It actualy looks quite (visually) good, especially the first bluespawn area with the cliffs.
LOLI love how you kept the cart tracks in there and just wacked the cp over the top!
Hope valve puts this in the next update :p

Ha ha, does the point just EXPLODE when you cap it?

No, just your maps folder.

P.S. Might be worth changing your world environment settings, the bloom, fog and shadow colour gradients don't look right. If you are gonna swap game mode's you might as well put all the effert in, rather than just hit "replace texture" a couple times and throw in a cp prefab. I understand it was for kicks, but that's a major throw off.

You mad a good map look dark, gloomy, and look like a nice place to jump off a building. Honestly alpine rain is by far the worst theme ever.

I haven't looked closely at this map, but I like the alpine theme and I like badwtaer and I like rain. What's not to love. I will say this, since there are the obligatory "don't edit valve maps" here. That is a traditional way of thought. But the alternate line of thought is the more updated thinking that Valve intended for people to play with their stock maps by releasing the ... code, or whatever you call it. I would try this out on our custom server.

I tried a cp_badwater map once. It made me sad. I looked into this. It made me even more sad. :,(
