CP Edge A10

dabmasterars submitted a new resource:

Edge (WIP) - 3CP attack-defend map set on rooftops. First map, feedback appreciated.

This is cp_edge - an Attack/Defend single-stage 3CP map set on rooftops with some verticality and a camera-monitor system. (currently doesn't work)
The map's look is supposed to be in a really bright city with some saturated colors.
To make this map unique, I utilized some features that are rarely used in serious maps, such as monitors and non-player buildings.
Also, this is not a joke map. Yes, it has some references and easter eggs, but the map was designed with serious play in mind...

this update is minor since it was made in only 2 hours, i just wanted to make the map good enough to traverse. this version is going to be submitted to the map testing program.

dabmasterars updated Edge with a new update entry:

ALPHA 5 - THE HIGH GROUNDS AND FLANKS UPDATE

as requested by a lot of people during playtesting, i will try to add more verticality to this map

• added a catwalk above point a, you can climb on it inside the building or by jumping on the vent if you're scout/blast jumping.
• added a giant flank to the point c, it goes through a storage room and a cooling room all connected by vents, both teams can use this flank
• new room 1: storage room - has a bunch of props, a container with an ammo pack inside, some small health packs...

dabmasterars updated Edge with a new update entry:

ALPHA 6 - THE GAMEPLAY AND PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION UPDATE

the map is getting closer and closer to beta

• decreased red respawn time even further when they capture b
• doors no longer z fight (pro tip: set "lip" value to negatives)
• added an easter egg in blu spawn
• window of the inaccessible area near c is no longer transparent. this should improve performance by a lot
• added another exit for red to point a
• capture zone borders are now visible
• optimized performance using areaportals
• optimized performance using prop distance...

ALPHA 7 - ONE OF THE UPDATES OF ALL TIME

the map test was horrible. just horrible. part of it was my shitty decision to lock the second point for 40 sec, which the mods thought was a bug and cancelled the test.

• removed the door to b that was closed until a is captured
• all red spawns now face the same direction regardless (this should encourage players to go in a different way, but i didn't want to remove the other ways)
• point b no longer has a 40 sec cooldown
• more height advantage on red near b
• added a flank...

ALPHA 8: THE AESTHETIC UPDATE

you guys probably forgot that this map is supposed to be in a city and that you're fighting on rooftops, not randomly placed blocks.

• added 3d skybox (still experimental, may change)
• skybox contains a base near point c (red are launching a rocket in a middle of a city, don't ask why.)
• added a walkable billboard near b, which would hopefully bring more attention to the flank routes (previously all blu players would just pile in the main route)
• point b is locked again...

ALPHA 9 - THE POLISH (NOT THE COUNTRY) UPDATE

the map is closer and closer to beta, i'm not sure if i can do the stuff to make the map look professional, so i think i'll just try to collaborate with someone, i guess.

• added a garden area between blu spawn and a
• the garden provides a long, but safe flank route
• added another door that closes when a is captured
• added a catwalk near b for blu players
• added some props to make blu progress easier and have less sniper sightlines
• changed some props to make them fit...
