I forgot to post screenshots last time I tested it. These are of a11, which I think is still the current version.

That is near the balcony near 1-2. The pipes aren't aligned correctly. Also, you can jump up onto that brushwork that the pipe goes into. I don't know if you want us to or not.

Pipes aren't coloured the same.

I forget what I had taken this screenshot for, but I think it was because I saw a red player go back into that forward spawn after we had capped the first point. (Stage 3, I do believe)

This reflection looks weird.

The door to the room behind it to give that wall some detail doesn't look right. If you take another second to look at the building, that is one small room behind the door. Barely large enough for one person to fit in comfortably. I'm weird like that and notice things like this, so do what you want. It doesn't affect gameplay, nor do many really notice it.

Hey look! HAARP's not dead!

Here's more WIP. The transition of the outdoor areas to snow isn't totally finished yet. I'm not sure exactly what I'll do with the skybox and the lighting:

Nice nodraw or skybox texture in the first pic :p

The style looks lovely.

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments!

I'm going to try and get a new version with more detailing, and a few layout changes into Friday Gameday. Unfortunately it's still missing some custom props, missing a skybox, and a good snowing effect. But that'll all come later :p

Please say you did something to the boring 3-2 :/

I haven't decided exactly what I'll do just yet, but there will be changes to 3-2.

Finally, here's another update. It's not quite beta, but it's getting close.

BTW this is alpha 14. I skipped 12 and 13 because I kept making backups and delaying this update.

-------------------
ctf_haarp_a14
-------------------
Gameplay Changes:
-Added the new hybrid HUD
-Red's respawn time for CP 3-2 increased slightly.

Layout changes:
-Removed the giant pipe in section 1, and replaced it with a small wall of cover.
-Removed some of the glass around CP 1-2, making the point easier to capture.
-Reworked the area leading up to CP 3-2. There is now an extra piece of cover for blu inside the main entrance, and the glass room across from the hallway should be more useful for Blu.

Just did some flying around. Random thoughts. (Yes, I know it's alpha, but I have to nitpick over something...)

  • Very clean func_detailing. There are still a few floating around, but it might not be worth the effort to fix.
  • I don't see any areaportals. Not that you need them (ironically my computer is a bit too good to do perf testing :p) but just throwin' that out there.
  • On the areas with falling-deaths, you could put a non-solid brush (perhaps with sky texture) so that when people die, their bodies land just below it (thus, being 'invisible' at least from above) rather than appearing to stop in midair.
  • In the snow-dusted entrance to the final building, the wires on the floor (a whole untweakable model, I know) disappear into the wall.
  • The final point looks like it could be an awesome vista, but it still looks like the spawn-backed-sentry-crossfire-of-death-with-snipers-at-the-desk for attackers. I fear it, even with that new bit of bulletproof glass.

Most everything is nicely clipped, but found a few possible spots. Some are along fences, and thus maybe unsolveable, I just circled one in this picture since the person is "inside" the lamp.


Capture point roof isn't quite high enough for the hologram.


Small texture alignment issues with curvy pipe. (Aren't there always?) Also the pipe texture itself at the 90-degree pipe bend.

In an unprecedented move, HAARP has been updated to a15, just over 2 hours since a14 came out.

(AKA I fucked up)

a15 is now uploaded to the EU server for gameday, and to the US server just because I won't be at the gameday (asleep) because I still want to play it later.

EDIT: Internet's screwing up, can't finish the upload to US server, so I'll do it tomorrow. The map is on the EU server for gameday though :) 'Night

I jumped into Haarp alone so I could enjoy it more than find bugs in Gameday today.

Note: Now that it's almost completely detailed, my clan's server will have it, and I will tell you anything that comes up when we play it.

Screenshots time. Yay.



Stage 1:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150000.jpg
I know you know of the discoloured pipes, but I forgot about that until I had already taken the screenshots.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150001.jpg
I can get up here.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150002.jpg
Right outside of the first point, I can get stuck on a pipe here. It actually seems like it could be useful too. Doubt you want to keep that.


Stage 2:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150003.jpg
Black windows?

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150004.jpg
I can get on top of the windows.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150005.jpg
Oddly lit.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150006.jpg
When I rocketed up there, i got stuck at the top by the bars, and then stuck on my way back down. I couldn't stay up there, but I got stuck, and maybe with more time rocketing up there I could find a way to stay. check it out in Hammer and playerclip accordingly.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150007.jpg
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150012.jpg
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150014.jpg
Discoloured pipes again.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150008.jpg
The edges here seem very dark.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150009.jpg
Only two of the edges have that shiny silver/blue texture. The other's dark.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150010.jpg
I can get on this pipe.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150011.jpg
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150013.jpg
Really dark back there.


Stage 3:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150015.jpg
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150016.jpg
You seem to have the same problem with the coffee pot as Furnace has. Weird reflections.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1490725/ctf_haarp_a150017.jpg
I didn't try jumping up there but I'm implying you playerclipped it?



Can I just say a few things?

The snow is perfect for Haarp's white/grey concrete architecture. It looks beautiful.
You did a real good job preventing soldiers rocket jumping up to high places. I found barely any.
2-2 is like sex, dude. That pipe that runs through the middle? Epic.
