Yea, my other contest entry (pl_saloon) had a strange and unfixable error that nobody I asked could figure out . So, because my last contest entry was not functional on servers, I decided to create a new payload map for the contest entry. This one I will be sure to make all my spawns, payload entites, and doors functional and not crash servers. I will also make sure to update a bit more frequently with screenshots and the usual.

I will try to get an alpha up this weekend, but it is unlikely.
The area snaking under the train tracks looks very hard to attack. Going down is fine, but going uphill pre-checkpoint is crazy.
Update! I finished the layout of flats. Now all I need to do is fix some light leakage (stupid func_details) and put the entities in. I made some screenshots because I know you guys just love pictures. http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/7.png http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/8.png http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/9.png http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/10.png http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/11.png http://www.no-moral.com/flats/dev/12.png
Please: use [noparse][/noparse] tags, please, linked images are a pain the ass, and: USE JPEGS - SMALLER FILESIZE.
DON'T FORGET TO BUILD YOUR CUBEMAPS. I noticed you didn't in the first couple of pics, so, a friendly reminder for you.
Looks nice! I can't spot any obvious layout flaws from the provided screen shots, so get play testing, and quick if you still intend to compete in the contest . Also Forthex, no one really cares about cube maps in alphas unless you have a map like mine that has water everywhere
Looking good so far. Really could use another name though. PL_Flat is just, well, flat and very noobish sounding. Not that I'm implying anything. :sleep:
I know, I know. But, I sometimes myself forget to build them in the final, so a reminder I thought could help.
Alpha 1: http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=792 EDIT! Woops! Forgot health and ammo packs! I also noticed that the round never ends. Sorry guys.
Alpha 2: http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=795 Added the health and ammo packs, fixed the never ending rounds, and improved lighting in some of the buildings.
Alpha 3: Hope to get some gameplay / layout changes in the next alpha if everything entity-wise is fixed. http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=798 Fixed people spawning in the wrong spawns, added respawnroomvisualizers to the new blue spawn and the first red spawn, added a shack before the third point to provide sniper and sentry cover.
