Looks awesome! A word of advice though, when taking screenshots, first go to Spectator mode, enable sv_cheats and disable cl_drawhud, so you don't have the view models or HUD on display.

Thanks, I know about bullshots & screenshots making, I'm just lazy and so busy right now. Also, I planning to make 4K wallpapers rendered in SFM.

Or use this little bind:

bind "DEL" "incrementvar cl_drawhud 0 1 1; incrementvar r_drawviewmodel 0 1 1"

Hit delete button once and your hud is gone. Hit it again and everything is back to normal.

Clever, but you left out sv_cheats, which you should probably throw in to make it a literal one step process.

The magor update is here. The "Eclipse" is in beta stage now!

(As again, I do apologize for my bad English, as I've written before, it's not my native language).

Finally, I have finished transfer map from the alpha state. The process was very long and very time consuming, but I overcame it.
And so, new screenshots and a changelog.

The map looks great, but there's something off about that eclipse. Perhaps making the map darker, because a full eclipse would block out most if not all sunlight

The map getting darker when blue team captured last point. Also the eclipse disk is dynamic, it moves after each capture by blue team.

Are you updating the version number?

 

[Flower_Shop_Guy]

Are you updating the version number?

As I understand it right, to update the map file I need to click over here?

 

[tyler]

Yes, but you also need to change the version number on your Download page.

I see lots of people forget to do this and have the same problem.

Seems I'm understand what it was, "b1" signature was attached to the old version, so update file does not change anything. Спасибо! (russian - "thanks").

 

[tyler]

Yes, for some reason it isn't automatic and doesn't really do a great job of saying what the problem is. Glad it worked.

 

[Flower_Shop_Guy]

The download was finally updated.

Welcome to the Eclipse!

"Eclipse" - is a large single-stage Payload map with a varied style and gameplay, themes set in the industrial desert of the 20th century, consisting of 4 points.

Plot:
Reds have a huge range of supply of electricity of the leading red working on nuclear and solar energy. Blue course, this advantage does not like... (well, because they do not have such a cool powerstation!) And they decide to destroy it. If this happens, the red team go is very bad, because they can not save even solar energy, because eclipse is coming!

Am going to test it as soon as I can!

 

[Hyperion]

Repack your map. I tried it and now it is only 43mb (instead of 107mb)

The map getting darker when blue team captured last point. Also the eclipse disk is dynamic, it moves after each capture by blue team.

The map getting darker as points are capped is pretty awesome.

Hello, FSG.

Your map is 107MB uncompressed. When in a BZ2, it is compressed to 49MB, which is better for download speed. But did you know that by repacking your map, you could reduce its file size to 43MB? That would be 43MB compressed, using repacking in place of BZ2, and also the file size when the map is downloaded and stored on a client's system. Repacked maps are never decompressed after download, so when a map is repacked it saves the client a surprising amount of disk space.

Learn about repacking here.

Please repack your future versions as I am running out of disk space!
