Foldover - A two-story map for Contest 18 - Stack the Deck

This map switches direction between points A and B. Can BLU push their way out of the basement, across the yards, and into RED's base?

This map is being made for the TF2Maps "Stack the Deck" competition.

MrOakridge updated Foldover with a new update entry:

A4

Mostly fixes + some feedback-based changes I missed previously.

• Further shortened respawn times for both teams
• Set different respawn times for each team depending on which point is active (~5 secs for both for A, instant for both for B, instant for BLU and ~4 seconds for RED for C)
• Added a forward spawn for BLU in the yard between A and B. It activates once B is captured
• Added missing func-respawnroomvisualizers at RED's main spawn

NOTE: a...

A5

This update mainly focuses on overhauling the area around point B.

- Major changes to B
--- The building between B and the A-B buffer zone now has two floors. The upper floor can be accessed from BLU's side via a new staircase in the A-B buffer zone yard, and from RED's side via a new extension of the high balcony next to B. Another staircase is also present indoors on the side near the cliff, facing RED's side
----- The undercut area on RED's side of this building near the cliff is now...

MrOakridge updated Foldover with a new update entry:

A6

• Rearranged two of the exits from BLU spawn to eliminate some sightlines that allowed RED to see and shoot at players as they spawn
• Increased the size of the capture zone for A
• The indoor staircase in the A-B buffer building now faces BLU's side instead of RED's to give BLU an easier time pushing B
• BLU's forward spawn doors are now two-way, but will not open until B is captured

--- Added resupply signs over these doors which only appear when they are unlocked

A8

With the contest deadline fast approaching, I'm hoping to finalize the layout soon and move on to an art pass.

• Fixed a displacement in the A-B buffer yard that encroached on the play area through a wall
• Gutted the A-B buffer building and added a much simpler indoor layout
• Shortened the left flank in the A-B buffer building
• Made some of the doorways in the A-B buffer building slightly taller
• Removed an entrance into the A-B buffer building to simplify the layout...

B1

With the contest deadline creeping up and layout changes becoming fewer and smaller, I've decided to make the jump from alpha to beta.

• Raised the shed by the cliff to be a highground area, based on a suggestion from the most recent playtest
• Changed a side hallway in the B-C buffer zone to offer a more direct side route between B and C
• Decreased capture time on B to try to compensate for BLU's long walk to get there (I've tried to shorten the walk as much as possible, but the...

B1A

• Both teams now respawn instantly in their respective forward spawns when B is captured
• RED's forward spawn room and resupply locker are both deactivated when B is captured. The doors to the forward spawn become one-way so that players may exit but not enter
• Fixed an incorrect texture in BLU spawn

MrOakridge updated Foldover with a new update entry:

B2

Feedback in the last playtest said that the area between BLU spawn and A wasn't fun, so that was the primary focus of this update.

• Fixed the one-way exit trigger meant to activate at RED's forward spawn exit when B is captured being active at the start of the round, which resulted in erratic door behavior
• Removed misplaced player clip in the A-B buffer yard left over from an older layout
• Removed several outdoor lamps to reduce visual clutter
• Major changes to the area...

With the contest coming to a close, this layout is pretty much finalized. I'm only planning to change it if major issues arise.

• Added missing player clip on a staircase in the A-B buffer building
• Fixed several instances of z-fighting
• Added more signs in the RED base to aid in navigation
