KotH stockhouse

[spudboy]

My first map. RED and BLU are fighting for control of a Mann Co. stockhouse full of VALUABLE WEAPONRY. Obviously the textures are very WIP but that's what happens in an alpha.

(Screenshots are currently somewhat out of date.)

This is legitimately a good map.

That is always an amazing sign for your first map!

That street has no sidewalk...

-Made catwalks transparent

please just tell me this means you made it a grate texture and not like glass or something

Yeah, grate texture. Glass would just look weird.

I kinda lost interest in TF2 for a while, but with Gunmettle and looking at all the 72 hour maps people have made I'm suddenly getting back into it, so here's a little update after looking over the one playtest I've gotten.

Updated to A3:
Totally reworked the spawn rooms.
Removed some of the catwalks.
Added some props inside.
Changed small ammo packs to medium.

Updated to A4:
Changed many props into brushwork.
Changed sky to daytime.
Lowered outer brick wall.
Added an extra route to the 2nd level.

The playtest today was pretty negative and the layout needed some serious changes, so this is the biggest update I've pushed out yet.

Updated to A5:
Moved control point to the second level.
Moved large health and ammo to the first level.
Opened up the room in the center a bit.
Removed streets on each side.
Replaced catwalks with a more substantial 2nd level.
Removed health and ammo at the base of the ramp.
Added a clip above spawn rooms.
Removed main ceiling.

Updated to A6:
Added glass in the cover barriers on the high ground.
Made the 2nd level house smaller.
Replaced the random-looking block brushes with a gazebo-like structure.
Removed the large walls near spawn.
Added some cliffs on each side.
Moved spawn rooms to the top of said cliffs.
