CP Dune (CP) 19.2.0

Padre Snowmizzle updated Dune (CP) [B14] with a new update entry:

Hey Look, the B14c Patch

Get jumpscared by the b14c patch. Fixed the fuckass door (really, that bugged warehouse shutter door in the second stage was annoying to discover, lol). Did some further tweaks here and there. Added respawn brushes to the window area of that warehouse, and made RED spawn a bit faster in the First Stage.

Hey Look, Again, Another Patch

Well this has been a fairly unlucky yet important string of patches for Dune, this one's for b14d. Adjusted some brushwork around the Second Stage BLU spawn windows, added a few particles into the Final Stage's new alleyway, and moved the leftover shrubs around RED's spawn in the First Stage

Beta 15 Release

Something something overcorrected the map, so now we've taken a step back to go forward!

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.
• Nav mesh has been adjusted accordingly.
• The map now has six...

b15b Patch

Forgot to change the previous version's cap titles so the letters were off, my bad. Now they should be good!

Beta 16 Release!

The Final Stage needed some love, as it felt waaaay too cramped and short; now we have G I R T H. Preview images will be adjusted in due time.

Beta 17 Release

It's like beta 16, but better! The area around point D got some love. New flank routes and cover; as for the final point (skull), now when BLU is in the process of capping it, RED goes from a 3 second spawn wave to 0, so they'll come flooding out to fight back.

Beta 18: Anotha Biggun'

So like, optimization and proper map layout, that's pretty cool stuff huh? Yeah, so I went ahead and manually cut my map into itty bitty pieces, separating each area with skybox brushes and the like so entire stages aren't all loaded at once. I've already noticed a significant increase in performance, and generally things flow a lot better for both teams. I've also redesigned some areas to accompany this massive map change, especially point E. You'll still find remnants of old buildings and...

A Quickie 18 Patch

Some nodraw and lighting had to be touched up, whoops, all good now.

B18 Outlet Patch

Added some clipping around most of, if not all of, the power outlets around the map so it isn't as easy to bump into them while running along a wall. That and a single letter version is nice, no awkward dev b18a2 bs, lol.

B18c Patch

Alright, did some tweaks to the area right after the transition tunnel leading to B, adding a secondary one-way route for BLU to use, and a ladder (shh, it's probably temporary). Adjusted capture times on B, D, and the Skull point to make it easier for BLU, especially the final point. Fixed up the nav mesh, to boot!

Beta 19 Release

Pay b18 no mind, it was an overcorrection beyond belief. Went back to a back-up before the heavy modifications made in b18a2 (and etc) and did some additional tweaks/fixes to improve what was present. There's less detail brushes and more world brushes, so hopefully that helps reduce the amount of visleaves being shown all at once. I removed some clutter props to clear up some areas, as well as modifying/adding routes to the final stage. Gonna run a test with b19 and go from there; b18 isn't...

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

b19b Patch

Added an opening into the Complex from the left side when pushing up from BLU spawn, as well as made a slight forward spawn for BLU once C is captured (up in the air if it stays or not). Cleared up a player clip preventing people from hopping onto the large yellow pipe over the leftmost RED spawn door at point D for some sneaky Spy play. BLU spawn at point A has another exit, and a deck of sorts to give BLU some highground and cover, plus there's a nice full health and medium ammo pack there...

Minor b19b Fix

Alright, BLU's second forward spawn was borked, so for the time being, it's gone. May add it back at a later date.

b19c Patch

Adjusted some spawn times across the map; updated the file name so TF2Maps can test it proper, my b.

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

b19d Patch

Updated some respawn times and capture times to reflect what b18 had; want to try those timings in this map iteration at least. I also added some more health/ammo between point E and the final (skull) point, and sealed off a route from RED spawn that would let them flank BLU once point E was captured; felt too strong to have a route that'd take you there that quickly.
