Really impressed by your brushwork and geometry- just try and keep it fitting the tf2 feeling

EDIT; Also the textures on the displacement cliffs in pic 2 aren't aligned properly, might want to fix that.

Thanks, that is what I'm REALLY trying for. What I'm trying to do with the "Quake Style" Isn't map for Quake, or make it look like Quake.. at all. What I'm trying to bring when i say that is Quakes Complex brushwork. There clean but super detailed areas... I love it.


And thanks for the heads up about that rock, i missed it when i made it =)

Holy hell an update!?

=)

Revamped the complete left side, hallway and middle room.

Added some displacement to give idea of a final. etc etc.

Download Muse A7_c !

Finally downloaded this today and had a run-through. Came away very impressed.

Enjoyed the Quake-feel of it. Looking forward to see how you integrate it all into a TF2 theme.

Couldn't help but think it would be cool if the monitors above the intel cap did something whenever a cap is made.

Hmm i may see what i can do about this, maybe somewhat of an easter egg heh.


Anyone else give this a run though yet have and comments or critique?

So far i hear that the ambient lighting is too low.

 

[DJive]

Bump? =)

So I updated the map, took 3 years.

What I'm looking for

Is the map worth finishing? as in is the layout poor? I'm not against completely redesigning the middle area if we feel that is what is needed. This is still Alpha and I look forward to critique.


I'm very open to all critique so long as it is valid, good bad and the ugly.

*Things I know will be fixed next build*

Clipping on stairs in base.



redid flag and under as well.

Honestly if I were you I'd completely redesign it and only use this map from 2009 as a base, quite a few things have changed, a lot more knowledge about mapping standards has been established etc.

I also never revive old projects because I'm not comfortable working on something without knowing what I was thinking and trying to do at the time but that's a personal thing

Whilst that's partly true, if not largely true, i don't really see anything wrong with the map besides the quake-esque theme/style. Scale seems reasonable, certainly not as bad as egypt, and if egypt can go official and you're within those bounds it's at least an improvement on existing accepted TF2 maps.

Care to elaborate?

*DJive points to his heart* Right here Grazr! You hurt me right here!!

OK so a lot has changed.

Re-did the middle to add a alternate route (under the bridge and well a bridge

*Cough 2fort!!!!1

Ya I can see that it has a bridge >.<

Also screenshots are of very rough alpha of the area, I'm hoping this gets rid of the stalmate/clutter in the middle.

Also redid whole front/direct route. Hopefully more shots tomorrow once tested to see if this layout is worth keeping.

*thanks Aly for joining me last night and giving some advice.

So where to start. First I renamed the file extension. If any of you have downloaded this map in the past please delete it. I reverted the name over from "ctf_muse_a7_2_l2" or some other silly simply to "ctf_muse_a2f" which for me is just Alpha 2[f]lip. I was starting to get a headache because I moved all my versions of this map into a folder and realized I have over 182 different files of this and naming was killing me. So.. ya..

Before and afters.
