Devil's Cornfield - plr_cornfield C1

[Terr]

I think I'm missing the appropriate "devil's cornfield" and "box" reference here...

But I thought of a certain game... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdeEUucqThg"]YouTube - Grim Fandango: The Angelitos[/ame]

Don't be a lame copycat - remove the ship from the skybox.

I'd suggest you move your stages much closer together so that the skybox doesnt move so much from one to another, this will also remove the problem of one stage seeing the other end of the skybox as a solid colour due to the fog distance.

I'm not sure what you meant there. I didn't copy the ship. I don't know any other map that has that. This is just my first try at the 3D-skybox, and it's probably going to get redone since it's just a displacement floor and some hills.

cp_glacier has the ship half sunk into a glacier in it's skybox, clearly visible from point B

oh okay, thanks, I didn't know that. Will get rid of the ship then.

Pic 1: There's an invisible wall there. Pic 2: There's the other side of that invisible wall. Pic 3: But no invisible wall there?

You have to jump to get to the tracks. Not good ; could you clip this ?
Playerclip your stairs please

Played this last night and had a lot of fun If anything, it seems that there are sometimes unnecessary paths.

 

[Waif]

Played it a few time syesterday, I enjoyed the map- my main gripe was that the bit in one stage (either one or two- can't recall) where both teams tracks go down, crossover and then back up underneath a sort of building in the middle. This bottom bit has a wooden base that is really annoying because you have to jump up to get up it from the side passages.
Perhaps add some friendly clipping here.

Also in the third stage with no set up times, I noticied soldiers and demomen could get onto the centre buildings roof in some spots, not sure if this is deliberate but I thought I had better point it out.

Keep up the good work

Played this last night - I really enjoyed it, particularly the final stage. I found it to be really creative in terms of layout. I did feel that there were some sidepaths that were mostly neglected, like Radaka mentioned.

Loved the Mann Co box as well

Thanks a bunch for the positive replies guys!
I detailed some more in the final stage, the biggest central building to be precise. Here are some pics:

The BLU side:

The RED side:

Those are looking excellent, I look forward to the next playtest!

I like the "technical" side of it (your brushwork, use of textures, etc), but I think the contrasts are too big. Remember, it's a single building thus it should have a more or less consistent architechture/materials. I think it'll strike most people as weird, and stuff like the split map is just silly.

uhu, i'm gonna try to make a grey-ish map now. Thanks!

Here it is:

Will upload the material, later maybe.

That frame needs to be 32 units off the ground! /me shakes fist in anger

 

[Zeewier]

So any improvements to the cart needed?

Only the textureless area, and maybe add some black behind the eyes?

(and the secret weapon inside box?)

The map is starting to look great with your detailing

I really need to play stage 1 :O

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Don't know, but there is a triangle face inside the box that has the black/purple squared texture.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Woop, new idea for the finale!

Please tell me if this is a good idea or not. I had some good reactions but some others too. I need as many opinions as possible! Thanks!

I told you this in chat, but here it is again for the benefit of the others.
How about making an explosion that blows something like a valve off the pipes and THEN the water comes. other than that, great idea
