Got things on RC6test:

txJf23A.jpg

Texture misalignment. Goes for both sides.

5G9N6Wx.jpg

This looks unnatural. Make another steel beam to separate them.

EYWxevG.jpg

This also looks weird. A steel staircase with a stone bottom. Make it all steel.

I actually already fixed two out of three of those already for rc6! Only one I didn't do was the transition from metal to concrete. That's a super easy one, it should already be cut, even.

I'm so excited to push out rc6 through the workshop and mass update nerds.

About that: where does the workshop put the maps? I've downloaded one so far but it doesn't appear in the tf map nor does it show up in the "create offline server map" thing. I would assume it would just go into tf/download/maps since that's where all the custom maps go but right now it doesn't.

Found them. Maps go to steamapps/workshop/440/content/*some random number*/mapname.bsp.

BUT WHY????? The game can't read the maps there, there is a workshop folder in common/tf that's unused and every player ever is now trying to figure out where the hell their newly downloaded map has gone. Does Valve WANT you to not play custom maps? What's the point of adding a map workshop when you're going to give people the hardest time finding the maps?

ohright, map feedback on Glassworks. Great to see the things I highlighted getting fixed.

Why should the TF2 team bother testing the map workshop when they can just say it's a beta and have the TF2 community test it for them. ;)

Common sense. I know Valve lacks that most of the time but with such an important feature that can make or break the game they REALLY should do their own internal testing.

I really like your video changelogs, they are much more interesting then text change logs and it's always interesting to hear the reasons behind the changes.

Feedback time.

OXPTNJi.jpg

Still looks unnatural. Goes for both sides. Put a steal beam between the two textures to make the transition seamless.

hhxZOJ9.jpg

Steal beam missing, since it goes around the other side you'd think that there should be one here too. Same goes for the RED side.

GN7Pq13.jpg

Weird texture alignment on the bridge connecting second to garden.

NOjcKr8.jpg

I recon that hole has been made for optimization things, but it can be seen by rocket jumping. Also, the building on the right of that hole can't be seen from the inside. Minor thing, but still a thing. Goes for both RED and BLU's side.

JKln6Ed.jpg

I can see behind the lamp since it doesn't have a texture. I think hanging lamps would work better anyways. Goes for both sides of the map.

GVbvnpp.jpg

Unnatural lighting on the fence. Too dark.

06ltIGF.jpg

Still an obvious ghost light. Put a prop there (as well on RED's side but don't illuminate that one). Now that I come to think of it, is that light really necessary? Other parts of the same building look fine without additional lighting.

R2X9tWq.jpg

Weirdly lit door prop is weirdly lit. It should be in full lighting yet it isn't.
