CP arabia-remastered a2fix

[takabuschik]

Revived.

A 2 cp a/d map (not 5 cp as planned originally by Di Gorgonzola).
Featuring a somewhat new theme to tf2- the market theme! A theme I'm very familiar with irl.
All credits for original planning and creation of the 1st cp goes to Di Gorgonzola. Credits for the rest of the map may go to me.

 

[Bunbun]

Looks really nice, even though the 3rd screenshot looks incredibly empty and flat it still looks pretty decent.

 

[Bull]

Looks very promising, I'm curious to see what you make of this!

 

[veng]

I like the theme

 

[Jummbl]

It really does look nice. For some reason it reminds me of CS:GO.. maybe it's the arches, or just the place it's based on. Either way, I'd love to see what comes of this.

 

[Kraken]

Looks great even with developer textures.
That's hard to accomplish.

 

[takabuschik]

Check out A1!

 

[takabuschik]

Please can you guys could put it up on some imp?
I'd be very happy to get some feedback on the map and how it plays!

 

[takabuschik]

Progress on cp_arabia_remastered!

New BLU spawn

New 2nd cp connector

I know I shouldn't detail too much in alpha, but I really couldn't stand the bareness of that wall, so...

I hope to get a2 in a few days, so it will probably happen next month... Real life takes so much time!

 

[takabuschik]

And the 2nd cp is made up from a mix of the market theme and the space theme! Hell yeah!

(the cp will be under the giant RED unfinished building, where the nodraw is)



EDIT: what's up witht he picture? is it only me??

Trys again but still looks wierd
Steam never did that for me

EDIT 2: well, here's what steam says, in this colors:

What is going on?



EDIT 3: phototbucket to the rescue!

 

[takabuschik]

As promised- a2 is next month.
New BLU spawn, new 2nd cp, new a-b connctor, new RED spawn.
Much less overscaled. (should be propper size now, according to bot 'testing')
Filesize reduced to about 2/3 the original size, pre-zipping. Not that the file was particularly large before.

[Bunbun]

Your map looks sooooo smexy!!!!!

 

[Tumby]

Could you put the screenshots in the place they are supposed to go? Loading tiny thumbs of images is much easier than loading the whole entire thing.

 

[Kraken]

That tower in the 1st picture looks out of place.

 

[Kill_the_Bug]

yep make it a muslim minaret tower

 

[takabuschik]

According to the Muslim religion, the mosque must be free of violence. You are also forbidden to wear shoes. I don't want to risk people getting mad at me and banning my map/threatening my life for offending them/throwing grenades at my house. I'm not looking for trouble, so I had 2 options: No mosques or no violence. That's why I decided that minarets would exist only in the out of bounds area.

I agree with you that the tower doesn't belong. I actually copied it entirely from a different map (that never released) that had a medival theme. I'll change it for a3.

 

[takabuschik]

A2fix, featuring a working 2nd cp, much higher quality compile, and removed BLU tower.

DOWNLOAD! .bz2

Proof

 

[takabuschik]

So 2nd cp still doesn't work.



I need someone to do me a favor.
Can someone please test this on a listen server (launch through the + button on the tf2 next to the server button menu, then choose cp_arabia), then join Blu and cap both points? on the tf2maps servers the 2nd cp doesn't work, but on my computer it works without any problems. And I want to know if it's just me.

 

[worMatty]

Opened TF2 from Steam.
Opened console, typed map cp_arabia_a2_fix and spawned as a blue scout.
Captured A. B was still locked and belonging to Red.
