It's the same problem as here http://forums.tf2maps.net/showpost.php?p=91365&postcount=82

Bump because I love this map

 

[Icarus]

A new test version will be ready pending completion of the 3D skybox. I'm not going to release this version; I'm just going to put it up on the test server for one final test before hitting Beta.

That is a rad scene right there

I think it originated from Dr. Strangelove (But yes, I really liked those red lights in the background.)

Anyway, I'm not a fan of the numerous small spotlights dotting the circumference of the solid light fixture. It would look pretty sweet though if you could get a custom halo particle effect. In fact, i'm pretty sure you could do that with env_beam and save yourself the custom particles if there's a decent white lazer sprite.

from steam chat. He left before I could respond (read: before dropbox loaded the image)

05:15 - PKMN Trainer YM: @icarus when was the last time you saw a building made of square planks
05:15 - PKMN Trainer YM: looks retarded

I won't sugarcoat it because I know you can take it. Those walls are letting the scene down big time. I mean BIG-time, they absolutely ruin all the work you put into that hut.

 

[Icarus]

lol

Just my luck: nobody bothered to mention this until I went beta. Not even during the Cpoint contest. Although, I must admit, I was like :O when you pointed that out to me just now.

Fortunately, It's just a beta, though, I can fix it up for the next version. Beta 1 is still a go.

 

[YM]

Its a very easy fix though, should only take you 10 minutes to fix up the entire building.

Most people won't mind, since no one has said and everyone was ejaculating prematurely over it come the contest you can be sure that it's only a minority of people who care that the walls are stupidly thick.

 

[Icarus]

It is, but it's also just a beta.

EDIT: scratch that, I'll just recompile tomorrow morning.

I just really, really hate waiting for compiles.

Icarus, I did. I can remember it clearly, but you said 'well it's a hut in the winter so the walls should be thick'.

Make it a log house and it will make perfect sense.

And yes some log houses are made of square logs as far as I know.

 

[Icarus]

I'm not a writer, and my blurb could use a little more comedy & content.

Prepare for a Cold War
This isolated area in the mountinous regions of the northwest has long been battered by brutal weather. Two corporations have decided to fight over a run down log cabin, possibly driven insane by the isolation. Forced into a standoff with armed rocket silos on each sides, both dispatches ragtag teams of mildly insane mercenaries to forcefully disarm the other warhead.

The five control points present in this map promise to switch hands fast and often in this straightforward map, designed with both competitive and public gameplay in mind (It's possible!). The multiple, varied access points to every area will ensure the skilled will be able flank and overpower anything that gets in thier way.

The parts in red need work:

I was going to be nice, but Icarus. That was like TF2 fanfiction that collided with an IGN game review.

That second screen shot my god. I love it.

I've recommended this map to a server I play on, I really want to play this. Great work so far.

 

[Tinker]

In a mad battle over the world's only open-roof snow resort, BLU and RED built two opposing bases in the snowy heights. Quickly, the struggle caused the building to collapse even more, but teeth are gritted, snowboot laces are tightened and woolly hats are put on in this never-ending Cold War.

Presented to you by Icarus and LEGO.

 

[Ida]

Your description should be 20% story at most.

Don't start going into the cause of the conflict or anything, all you need to mention is that RED and BLU are fighting and there happens to be a cabin in a blizzard. Just a little more fancy-like.

Focus on presenting an interesting and unique setting (and, obviously, why your map is awesome to play).

Also, spellcheck.

One thing:

I LOVE the details.
