Arena_lumberjack - By Youme

[Chilly]

Very nice looking so far, Youme. If you get bored at some point you could even make the doors on the end open and have the railcars slowly move across the yard. Of course, that'd probably look weird without an engine on the front. Perhaps have a train slowly move through randomly, kind of like the trains on cp_freight. Definitely not necessary, but would add a bit more to the gameplay and give a little more ambiance.

Looks cool but the name's shit, gerunds just don't work well for map names. How about _forestry or _timber?

Ooh ooh, arena_lumberjack!

 

[YM]

Yeah I was looking at the name and thinking it wasnt fantastic.

I quite like lumberjack actually

arena_pine

arena_forestplant

arena_lumberyar... that's been done.

I think lumberjack is good, if I'm lucky people will mistake it for lumberyard in their server list and join unknowingly

more players = profit

You need a Paul Bunyan's sign and restaraunt, just like in Wisconsin Dells (tourist area near me):

Paul Bunyan's Lumberjack Meals? Sounds Neat.

Not sure if it matter to you or not Youme but you may want to think about making an additional game play (cp, ctf, etc) for this map other then arena. I know our clan admins hate arena so much they will not upload any arena maps to server and already have removed the stock arena maps from being in the rotation.

Just a thought.

How did you get the alpine backdrop in? is that a new skymap texture?

You can also place the forest skycards into your 3D skybox

There are TF engines

props_vehicles\train_engine.mdl

Paul Bunyan's Lumberjack Meals? I'm so going there.

It's incredible. Relatively cheap. You sit down, get a little metal plate, and they bring out platters of food to the lumberjack style tables (long benches). The food (pancakes, bacon, ham, beans, fried chicken, waffles, etc) is acceptable before a long day at one of the dozen waterparks in the area.

how do you get those good screenshots without a character weapon? cheats on? fly around?

 

[YM]

Spectate mode, then either cl_drawhud 0 or crop it in PS

 

[VelvetFistIronGlove]

I put the following command into my autoexec.cfg file (in the tf/config folder):

bind "F10" "cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0; wait 10; screenshot; wait 10; r_drawviewmodel 1; cl_drawhud 1"

Then, with cheats turned on (I'll usually be noclipping around the map to take screenshots), I just press F10 to get a screenshot without the HUD or weapon.

I tried spectate mode in my map and it didn't work - is there a setting or camera that needs to be placed to get it to work?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but is there a beta available for this map?
I searched the map downloads and I couldn't find a link

Thanks.

 

[Captain Planet]

Bumpty dumbty.

Is this map still in development?

 

[Sgt.Sausage]

This looks great as usual. Cant wait to play it sometime
