CP Cathedral (A/D) B1b

[Da Spud Lord]

Cathedral (A/D) - Huh? Geneva Conventions? What are you talking about?

Red team has cleverly hidden their secret base underneath an ordinary church on the Frontline. Now Blu wants to steal it, and Red has to stop them. Capture or defend the two control points to win the base for your team!

Beta 1: First Artpass
Welp, I've done it. I finally detailed a map that doesn't look like total garbage. There's still a lot of stuff that I probably should fix. The brushwork in the spytech base is messy and dumb and I hate myself for it, but I also don't see myself fixing it. There's also a few weird shadows that I don't even know how to fix. But there's still some good work in here, and I'm actually really proud of myself.
-Fixed the Blu forward spawn resupply locker being clipped into the ground
-Removed the consoles on the side of the final CP upper room with the stairs
-Adjusted railing clipping between first and second CP
-Artpass
-Fixed railings between the first and second CP not being nonsolid
-Slightly raised the railings surrounding the first CP
-Shifted the large ammo pack near the first CP onto the balcony outside
-The vent route to the sewer is now blocked until the first CP is capped
-Replaced clipping on stairs with blockbullets
-Added a medium healthpack behind the wall with the dropdown in the final CP area
-Shifted the resupply lockers in Red spawn

So, the detailing looks very nice but..

Might've forgotten clipping.

 

[Da Spud Lord]

FUCK

 

[YOYOYO]

Don't worry, everyone has to go through it, but while I'm here, ruining your day; These stairs unfortunately don't work. Maybe another clipping problem?

Otherwise, very naise job.

Yes, the stairs are supposed to be blockbullets. Fixed version should be out within a couple hours.

Heyo! We recently played this map on our server. Players were reporting broken reflections throughout the spawn and second portion of the map. It's a bit of an eyesore.

 

[Da Spud Lord]

When I loaded the map up in TF2, I saw no reflections in those surfaces that you showed. There wasn't even a purple checkerboard; there were just no reflections at all, which was odd because other surfaces (such as the CP bases) did have reflections. So I screwed around with the cubemaps near the second CP, somehow fixed the problem, reverted the changes for the heck of it, and the problem was still fixed. I have no idea how I fixed it, but I did, so I did the same thing with some of the surfaces around Blu's spawn and got those fixed too. Doing a full compile now, let's hope it doesn't break again.

Source is weird.

 

[Da Spud Lord]

Beta 1B: Cubemaps Fix
I think I fixed all the broken cubemap surfaces. If you find any more, please let me know.
-Fixed broken/missing cubemaps on certain surfaces
