CP Dune (CP) [B13] 13.0.1

[Padre Snowmizzle]

Padre Snowmizzle updated Dune (CP) [B6] with a new update entry:

New Point E!

Alright, got this done a lot quicker than I thought! Now the Final Stage operates like so:

BLU must capture point E a total of seven times to win the round; RED must prevent them from doing so.

We'll give this a go and see how it works. I'll update photos and such in due time!

Sum Patchin' and Adjustin'

As previously mentioned, I reworked point E. This'll go into further detail and elaborate on the intended mechanics, as well as some brief patching mentions and changes. Images and the menu photos will be updated in due time; I'm more concerned about making the intended gameplay of Point E engaging and unique.

OPTIMIZATION:

• Hammer decided to be funny, and upon Saving As, messed up a lot of static props and considered them out of bounds for absolutely no reason. A...

Padre Snowmizzle updated Dune (CP) [B7] with a new update entry:

Tweak to E

Did some private testing and wasn't satisfied with the results, so now point E is more central to the middle grounds instead of on the map border. RED has more cover and access to health/ammo, while BLU loses a bit of cover. The big metal spawn door was also removed, and that really cleaned up navigation in the third BLU spawn.

Now the point is captured in 15 seconds by a Scout, with a 9 second cooldown before RED owns the point again. RED spawn waves are initially 10, while BLU is 6. Every...

Beta 8

Well I certainly beefed up RED, but I really nerfed BLU's pushing power. This beta should fix the problem... boy I love balancing. :']

OPTIMIZATION:

• A lot of ambient generics have been removed, so hopefully that fixes the weird audio cut-outs.

GAMEPLAY:

GENERAL

• Adjusted respawn wave times.
• Added new routes/flanks in the First Stage.
• Added additional teamspawn points inside spawns.
• Fixed some...

Beta 9

Eyo! I adjusted the First Stage and a tiny bit of the Final Stage. BLU should have a much easier time setting up shop on the Data Center roof with the removal of the stairs behind the Data Center, and the planks next to the front of the building. There's also a full health and ammo there for BLU Engineers to help keep their buildings alive. The Final Stage has a minor tweak of +1 second added universally to BLU's respawn waves. I'm quite frankly afraid to touch the area because it is an...

Beta 10, Thanks for the Support Thus Far!

Howdy! +1K downloads, between testing and exploring the map yourselves, is much appreciated. Haven't had this stroke of success in a while, so here's to continuing to grow and get this project to a decent state for the workshop!

GAMEPLAY:

GENERAL

• Rounds now start at 6 minutes compared to 10 minutes but cannot exceed more than 10 minutes. Capturing a point adds 8 minutes to the clock to encourage the stalemate nature.
• More flanks, routes, and cover...

Patched an Overlay in Stage One

It was over by point A, resetting details messed up overlay stuff, but I think I got it all fixed. Oh, and respawn timings were quite off for point E, whoops. Fixed that so now the page description and in-game respawn wave time adjustments actually line up.

Beta 11

Ey folks! Although player numbers were scarce for the last beta, and quite frankly some feedback was pretty broad, I went with what I interpreted and did some noteworthy tweaking to some stages! I'll update screenshots in due time.

GAMEPLAY:

GENERAL

• Cap times are measured in Scout time (x2), just as a reminder!
• The skybox has been shown a bit of love, with it being pretty level with the gameplay area now. I may add further details in the future but...

Bit of a Fix for Beta 11

The new ladder flank in Stage Two was awkward with the clipping, so I went ahead and fixed it. Also patched up some weird nav mesh issues around the same area, along with the First Stage. Should all be okay now!

Point E Got a Bit of a Makeover!

RED spawn at E sucks, it does. I've done a lot to make it suck less and bring a bit more classic DOOM into your eyeholes! Hopefully this'll do.

Tweaking Round Times for Beta 11

Ey! Minor thing: fixed a bit of clipping near RED spawn where the small health + full ammo packs are; kept getting caught in the corner between the open spawn doors. Major thing: initial round times are back at 6 minutes compared to 5, but I toned down the total amount of time BLU gets to capture a sequential point in the first two stages. Instead of getting 8 minutes when capping A or C, now BLU only gets 5. This should help RED a bit more during the earlier stages. The Final Stage, point...

Help, I'm Lost in the Dunes Again

Ey folks, been a while! Hope y'all are doing well.

I've spent the past few months branching out and learning some additional skills: Minecraft modding to name one example, been having fun with that.

I think I've taken a long-enough hyperfixation break from mapping, as I'm starting to miss it. So, I've uploaded the map to the testing rotation just to get refreshed on its current status. If you have any feedback you'd want to indulge right now, you're more than welcome to do so!

Beta 12.0.0 Release!

Howdy; thanks for the honest feedback from the previous testing session. Took a look at this month's, and August's, feedback and lumped together some changes.

GAMEPLAY:

GENERAL

• Cap times are measured in Scout time (x2), just as a reminder!
• I may add further details to the skybox in the future but remember that the theme of the map revolves around an expansive desert full of wavy dunes. You're not getting a lot of mesas, canyons, and cliffs....

Working on Beta 13... a Biggun'

Ey folks; all three stages of Dune are getting a complete overhaul! There's no download yet, but I figure on getting beta 13a of the map out for testing later today.

Several changes include completely cutting the middle segment of the First Stage and moving point A closer to BLU spawn (feels a lot like Dustbowl last's first point with some tweaks respectively; Second Stage has been opened more thanks to some demolition, especially around the Complex and the path towards point D; point E...

Beta 13 Release

The biggun' beta 13 has arrived with a significant amount of reworks to Dune! This will require a lot of testing, so I figure on running a few tests for the map unless something game-breaking is happening.

13b Patch Later Today

Ey, so in making a new point (E2 for the final stage, I forgot to actually have it require the old point E (now E1) for it to be unlocked, so it was unlocked by default, whoops. Gonna release a patch after work to fix that and an issue with E1's point skin not updating when BLU captures the point.
