I'm reviving the long dead Cordonation series I had way back when in a video format. My idea with Cordonation is to provide general tutorials on map design for TF2.

I'm kicking the revival off with a tutorial on Gamemodes, specifically the map logic required for them to work. Yes, I know that ABS has an entire gamemode library in it, but it only gives you the solution, it doesn't explain what does what or how. (I also know about the VDC tutorials but a lot of them are very out of date)

For the last couple of years, the only video explaining how to set up any game logic has been Crash's tutorial on King Of The Hill. As a result, I think a lot of beginner mappers have stuck rigidly to KOTH out of a lack of easy to access knowledge on how to set up different gamemodes. So this tutorial series is aimed at beginner mappers.

The first video to kick it off is on the simplest gamemode, Capture The Flag.

As this series goes on I plan on getting to more complicated or niche gamemodes. So don't give up hope just yet Special Delivery fans.
