Gismo Gaming updated ctf_nile with a new update entry:

Alpha 10 - Spawn Changes

Removed the bottom route out of spawn, removed the side exit from the spawning area, and routed it through the garage area.

Removed the upper area in mid, hope this will focus the action toward the gate area and the sphinx more.
Added a side passage where the upper area in mid used to be, it is enclosed by should allow for some flanks

Raised the skybox ceiling a bit

Reworked the bit around the main exit/entrance to the garage a bit more since I removed the side exit out of the spawn

Alpha 13 - Revamp!

Basically scrapped all of the maps and started from square one in an effort to condense the map as much as possible.

All areas within the old map's pyramid are here in spirit, except reworked to fit the new layout.

Gismo Gaming updated ctf_nile with a new update entry:

Alpha 15 - Lotso Changes

Added a 30-second setup time at the start of the round. After capture, the captured flag is disabled for 7 seconds to reduce the speedy capping of the flag

Added a new underground passage area that connects the coast side of the pyramids, old blueprint room (which has been reworked as a result), and a small building partially inside of the operations for both pyramids.

Added particle effect which plays when a flag has been captured above the pyramid where it is captured.

Dropped the...

Gismo Gaming updated ctf_nile with a new update entry:

Alpha 16 - Sandstone Changes

Completely reworked the interiors of the pyramids to help ward off rouge engineers dominating every entrance into the pit.
Reverted the big archway back to a normal size to reduce sightlines (trust me I tried a bunch of odd stuff and it never looked good, so this is my compromise)
Fixed seam issue in the underground area
Fixed red's quick escape hatch not working
Added a few boats, and quickly sunk them, in the water. Should allow being climbed up on.
Added a displacement to the sandy bottom...
