KotH Breizh

Oh boy! A contest, and for highlander competition qui plus est!

For this contest, I'm entering with a maritime style koth, designed with the maritime theme of the bulletcorps pack. The map will be a fisher village that lays at the extreme west of France.

I'm not quite sure what Red and Blu are doing here yet, or what they are fighting for... But what I know for sure is that this goal is on a market place in front of the town hotel of the village.

I'm still planning an Alpha release, but it wont take long before I propose you one.

Looks like it might be a little big, but I could be wrong.

Welcome back to the competitions Deloras

Looks great so far.

This is looking absolutely bitching. That clocktower will stand out a bit once the maritime textures are in, cos its very dark and gothic, but otherwise awesome.

Thank you guys!

I think I will move the harbor to the sides and put a death pit on the waterfront.
And I'm also thinking of transforming the two 45° building of the first screenshot into two circular medieval towers, making the middle buildings of the map some kind of citadel.

But so far, what I need is testing, the map is almost operational, it's already clipped, and I placed the ammo and health kits. I also textured some parts and added props, I will post some screenshots later today.

I played it a lot with bots and it felt really good, but it might be very different with actual players.

Here we go:




The clocktower doesn't really fit with the breton theme, but it works to define the building is a town hotel

And also small changes on the point:

All right, First A1 release!

Please, report me any bug with the BSP.

Looking good, I will follow that. Breizh Atao !

I think there are too many pole on the dock. Made space between each pole.

Ok, after testing, here is a list of the changes that will occur to breizh_a2:

- The spawn exits are now in front of the player.
- The access ramps of the town hall are now farer from the capture point
- The height in front of the town hotel has been reduced.
- Removed health kit in front of the town hall
- Transformed ammopack full near the crates of the waterfront into healthkit medium.

I still have issues when trying to build the cubemaps, the console writes this error:

*** Tried to load a non-VTF file as a VTF file!
Error reading texture header "materials/maps/koth_breizh_a2/c1408_-608_0.hdr.vtf"
*** Error unserializing VTF file... is the file empty?
the file empty?Error reading texture header "materials/maps/koth_breizh_a2/c14....vtf"

It's doing this for each cubemap I just built.

Also, is there a special version of pakrat or something I should use to avoid the issues I had with my models?

By the way thanks for testing, and my apologize for the several issues that occurred in the map.

Aesthetically this is looking really amazing, lots of potential here
