Build Around The Track
- Thread starter littleedge
- Start date
current version of my map is about 10 mb, about 2 mb without lighting, and it has about 230 path tracks (and over 100 breakables too). doesn't look like path tracks are doing anything extra bad to the filesize.
It wasn't filesize, but entity counts I had something like 300% ent data or something stupid.
Good to see a bunch of people working on it.

I supposed I'll try. I'll fail like I always do, but hey, I still enjoy it
I may do some livestream-ing-ing from time to time too. http://www.livestream.com/mickanatormakes

I gave up after realising Making a payload from someone else's track doesn't work for me.

I'm SO CLOSE to getting an alpha ready. I would already have done it if I didn't decide to do an alpha artpass over every little area like a moron.
An alpha doesn't have to be exclusively DEV textured.
I will admit to doing artpasses during alpha as it allows me to keep style and work aesthetic into the theme in a fluid manner. It's quite frustrating balancing an area with a specific artpass in mind only to find a focal prop you want to use is too big/small and ruins the entire concept of the map.

My work has been slow due to school but I'm just getting done with the transition between the second and third point. The fact that the end and the beginning of the track are so close together is killing me. The way its going now, blue is practically blowing up their own spawn... but oh well, this is tf2 universe, can't help if shit doesn't make an sense.

It's quite funny that a large portion of people who are entering are really behind, myself included. Perhaps disciplinary action is in order.
I probably won't finish because this is all I've made so far.
It's a mix of upward and harvest, with cliffs and bridges to make up for the small track size.

It's not really that funny. Even though there were 2 months to do this, most people couldn't commit to at least the first 2 weeks because of the sudden announcement only days after the planning thread went up and/or are starting school now and cannot commit to the final 4 weeks.
Out of the 4 maps with WiP threads 2 belong to Sergis (one of which is abandoned) whilst the others aren't even sure if they'll finish in time/want to quit.
I've been working on my own one in the shadows when i've had free time but i'm not even sure i'll finish it either. 5 weeks in and i havn't even set the cart up or built the final area yet. At this rate we'll end up with a half finished map that wins by default in a contest that had so much potential.
It's actually pretty sad.

I personally call for a time extension to Thanksgiving. Most of us will have enough time to work on this, either on the weekends leading up to it, or over our Thanksgiving breaks.
I have a (mostly) finished alpha, I just need to add roofs to the RED and BLU bases/spawns/what have you. I also need to flesh out CP 3 a little more.
