http://archive.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=18343 This is the skybox from pl_Nippon. To use: Unzip the download folder into your "tf" folder (C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\YOURNAME\team fortress 2\tf). In the Hammer Editor, open up your map properties and change your sky to sky_nippon_01. I...

http://archive.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=17480 Hello! This is my first TF2 map, pl_Dockyard. It's still in the early stages, but the idea is to have a train-themed Payload map. First, a little history of the layout: I made maps for Halo: Custom Edition for close to 5 years. My latest map...

Hmm. I can honestly say I don't remember (again, haven't really done that in 3 years). I think you'll be fine, since I seem to recall doing that once before. Test it in TF2 and see if it works. If it doesn't, rename the .vmf file, open it, compile, and try again.

Use basic lighting options. Your goal as a mapmaker is something called "rapid iteration," meaning that you're putting out version after version after version all with slight tweaks, and you're testing for "fun." Fancy advanced options can slow this process down and really don't add to your...

koth_engmob_72 Download: On server, but here. Thread: 265590 Time: Anytime I'm not quite sure what the testing rules are here; technically the map has been "released" for the 72 hour contest, but I'm still working on it for entry into STAR's contest and don't want to compile a separate build yet.

Release (for the 72 hour contest)! Screenshot: Now on to STAR's contest!

Looking at these screenshots, lots of tiny errors to fix. But I'll save it for tomorrow's artpass, I suppose.

A4 is released. Changes: +Replaced dev textures on Mid. +Made second spawn door for faster rollouts /Tweaked health/ammo placement /Made spawn doors one-way (not sure if I will keep this one)

Alpha 3 is released. Changes: /Minor lighting fixes /Changed spawn a bit +Added yard -Removed area under CP (temporarily; we'll see if we need it) -Removed a Sniper sightline

Alright, A2 is live! Since I didn't do this for A1, screenshots!

One day, the most elite mappers in the entire (TF2) universe were gathered before the forum at large for an assembly. "Gentlemen," Frozen said, "I want you to make us maps. And not just any maps. ALL. THE. MAPS." There was a pause here, for dramatic effect. "You have 72 hours. Good luck." And...

That's the idea. I've been using the heights seen in Turbine and Junction as a basis for most of the map; running around, Demomen and Soldiers seem to have no problem rocketjumping about. But I know labyrinthine maps aren't fun, so I've tried my best to make every area feel unique and leave...

For those who do not know, Propper is a program which converts brushes into models for use in props, whether they be prop_static, dynamic, or physics. It smooths out the brushes and can automatically create collision models, but is also a bit difficult to use and has fragmented documentation...

If you'd like to get rid of the red glow around the Payload, here's what I discovered by accident: If you parent a nonsolid func_brush covered in nodraw to the func_tracktrain of the Payload in question and then parent the cart's prop to THAT, the glow will disappear entirely. One could then...

How did you get your colors to "pop" like that? Is it color correction, or custom textures, or just a trick of the light or something?

I was productive this morning.
