CTF Haarp rc

[Dr. Spud]

Any particular reason why you necrobumped your own thread with "i'll get to it eventually"?

To get you to reply.

HAH.

 

[Citizen Snips]

Well I'll be damned.

I noticed that the version information in the first post says that this map hasn't been updated for over a year, yet the file linked to by the Download button is ctf_haarp_test6.zip rather than a beta 2 download.

Why has this info not been updated?

Note: I only checked because we haven't had this on my server in a while and I was redownloading it... and some of my users already have beta 2.

 

[Dr. Spud]

test6 wasn't actually a release, because it was supposed to be a test between b2 and b3. But I lost interest and never made a b3, so test6 is actually the latest version.

I remember playing this map a while ago somewhere. It was fun but occasionally a little too large. Of course there were not many people playing at the time.

 

[Dr. Spud]

By the way, just so you know, I'm finally coming back to this. Told you I would.

Yesssssssssssss

inb4 CP_Haarp wins the contest...

 

[Citizen Snips]

Awesome.

Are you gonna iron it out in its CTF form, or just turn it into a straight-up CP?

 

[Dr. Spud]

inb4 CP_Haarp wins the contest...

I can't enter it unfortunately.

I'm working on CTF_haarp. I may or may not make the CP version.

 

[Dr. Spud]

Maybe there will be a new build today. Who knows?

edit: this thread has hit 34 pages! Here's to making it to 69!

MUSE related map names? F*CK YEAH! THATS HELL OF A GOOD IDEA )))) :facepalm:

Cant wait for tc_muscle_museum :O

 

[Citizen Snips]

Oh well; so much for it being out by today.

Er, yesterday.

 

[Dr. Spud]

It's still today by 48 minutes in the West Coast AKA Valve AKA TF2 official time.

CTF HAARP Test 7 released!

That picture scared me a little.

Is there a changelog?

 

[Citizen Snips]

Test7, huh? So not an actual b3/release candidate/final version?

 

[PMAvers]

It is good day!

Sadly, Valve still hasn't fixed the A/D CTF HUD bug where it freaks out for a few seconds when you cap (until a new flag respawns).

That's not really anything that can be fixed on the map-side, though.

Did run into this:

Could be a graphics-card glitch, I dunno.

Curious to how the new version plays. Seems to be a new path to try to help break some of the more common stale-mate points. Is that upper flank path for the attackers above 2-2 new? Can't remember. Still slightly worried about "the trench of doom" there...

I swear the tunnel on stage 2 seems shorter. And the annoying one-way doors seem to be gone.

 

[Dr. Spud]

There were some bad problems, I'm going to compile a new version real quick.

Among other things people pointed out, I forgot to pack the announcer sounds and put a visualizer behind cp 1-2 that prevents blue from reaching sentries. Oops.

 

[ANova]

So can you put my name in the skybox for me? (because this is the new nightfall)

 

[Dr. Spud]
