I'm going to test out a version of the map before releasing the beta. This is to double check that everything is working out right, since I added a ton of new content. This is basically exactly what the beta will be, minus a long VRAD compile.

Also, say hello to Red's newest doomsday device (edit: still needs a real texture, but whatever):

More screens in the first post.

-------------------
ctf_haarp_test1
-------------------
Gameplay Changes:
-Overtime removed
-Red's spawn times are slightly increased.

Layout changes:
-Added skybox, snow, models, and other wonderous things.
-All capture points have new computer models that are uniform throughout the map.
-Added a small wall to nerf a sentry spot at CP 1-2
-Added a side path near CP 2-2, and edited the area under the AC unit to be a new path for Blue, rather than a sentry spot for Red.
-Changed around some health and ammo locations leading up to CP 3-2.

Love how you made the double-desk there - and the radar dish is looking hawt despite textures. Great work!

Edit: Btw - who did those re-colored nucleus glowing beam textures? I'm going to want to use it for an upcoming project.
Edit 2: Aha - looks like its self-lium is determined in the .vmf, not the texture .vtf itself - playing with it right now!
Edit 3: Why yes - the red one is indeed a stock texture. Don't know why I never bothered checking Ibeam_light_01a.

I dont like computer model. It is too modern to fit TF2 theme. Also at begning of third stage there are (prabobly) computer station that look to modern.

Anyway ant wait for first beta :)

Firstly, your doors need [ame=http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=8753]bullet ricochets[/ame].

Secondly, stuff:

Little cracks between brushes.

Needs playerclipping so I don't get stuck on that end post.

Playerclip that whole area by the wall so walking is flush with the door frame, right now you get stuck in there.

Texture needs re-alignment.

Hazah! I survived the killpit! Also, I remember somebody, Supertoaster maybe, who jumped onto the support beams (supporting the top path) in between them and the wall and survived the killpit.

I'm on a light.

BLU spawn, Stage 2, in the elevator.

On a pipe.

BLU spawn, Stage 3.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_test10007.jpg
These lights on the left of 3-1 aren't completely on the wall. They're hanging off a little, which results in bumpy sidling of the wall and a place to stand.

In the outdoor area of Stage 3, top of that displacement looks odd compared to the wall.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_test10009.jpg
Same place as before, I can hang out on this fence.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_test10010.jpg
Same place as before, I'm on a window. I'm implying the other windows are the same.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_test10011.jpg
Just something I noticed. You have three clocks right next to eachother making a V that are the same time, and a fourth in the bottom right. Nothing important, just rotate them some more if you feel like it.

It seems weird for the blue light to be in a red spawn.


Also, on 3-1, the upper walls look very bland. Supertoaster suggested windows, and I agree. Maybe in the corner to the left of the point (from RED spawn), you could have a door that leads to a detail room with stairs in it. Above that a little, you could have another glass window that looks upon a staircase. Above that, you could have a third window with a computer overlooking the area. Just an idea.

Also, a fun fact: You can see a small part of Stage 3 from the First Stage :D

Absolutely phenomenal detailing - I loved the creative skybox usage. The third stage doesn't feel anywhere near spytech IMO - too much office space and hallways - I'd suggest more sinister console rooms if you want a spytech feel like in Vector.

Completing the first capture point in the second section causes the map to end.. Ideas?

Beta is released!

Between the test1 version and this version, I've fixed the laggy particles and optimized a bit more.

Go! And remember, this means it's out to the public. Tell your friends!

Congrats on the beta! Hopefully the final capture point will hold up to testing by idio.... err.... non-mappers playing it.
