PLR Banana Bay RC4

[Blade x64]

Banana Bay - Tropical beach. Train bridge.

Payload race with rotational symmetry centered around a train. Like last stage of Cactus Canyon, but PLR.

Credits to Void and Stiffy for the palms, Fuzzy for the grass/sprites, and NeoDement for the bananas and trains.

Beatuful map, interesting concept with the round end where u have to stay on cart and wait for passing train to hit it. There are some noticeable bugs though, for example I get some weird flickering at the spawn room (for a few seconds, when the round starts) and something is wrong with underwater - I see only white screen when i'm diving.

This looks... familiar?

The areas where the white sand/grass and the red rock run together looks weird.

Dunno a good suggestion for a solution off the top of my head though. If you do red sand on RED's side, you'd have to blend it with the white sand as it comes toward BLU's side. If you change the red rock to something less jarring, you lose your team transistion that you're going for.

Honestly just losing the team transistion and using one rock texture might be for the best though.

Gonna need some Banana Boat sunscreen to ride my banana boat round Banana Bay.

Hey wait a second. Didn't this map have a medieval theme before?

I'm very impressed by the map so far, looks incredible nice

Do have some feedback:

Spoiler

underwater textures not packed or giving an error?

seams at the edges of the map under the water

tiny seam going directly out of spawn looking right

nodraw going directly out of spawn and looking up

these rock textures are mirrored + stretched giving it a weird look

coming out of spawn to the right, its hard to notice there is a platform below the cliff, confused me at first


OTHER STUFF: somehow capping as blue made red win? make sure your logic is set up right

Fixed the water, I forget VIDE doesn't detect $bottommaterial in water. No idea what could be causing the flickering.

Mushed those seams. Had the rock texture like that so the entire arch wouldn't have seams, but changed it anyway. I'll keep an eye on that cliff platform.

As for the wrong team winning, no idea what could be causing that. Logic is right as far as I know, which suggests something funky is going on in the background. Unless I know how to reproduce this bug, I can't do much.

I'll take looking weird over players getting confused about map sides any day. I want to keep the mostly natural formations aesthetic, and using one rock texture on this map would require me to dress up both sides with who knows what.

I've considered red sand, but it'd look even more weird with the green grass.

I used plr_keystone as a base, but with significant rework to fit the visuals and gameplay I had in mind. Stripped it down and rebuilt it.

COOL BEANS

I played your map on snack shack a while back. Was really nice to just jump on the train and get to a destination. Good job

Congratz on getting in game. That's what's happening, right?
