shoeboxes?

needs more detail man

 

[YM]

needs loooooads more detail and your background/skybox terrain needs to be looooads smoother.
Also, did I mention details?

 

[le_toms]

have you played the iceworld maps? ...there was little to no detail in them at all.
I was trying to carry over that type of thing to this map.

something diffrent is always good if it works well you can make a v2!
Change is that everbody is going to bitch that they don't get it (sorry for me being so negative )

Detail in general is there for one thing in my mind.

It cuts down repetitiveness. In general no one will enjoy playing in a clean walls room over and over again. Add some dirty, maybe a couch in the middle and items around and although it doesnt effect your game play, it adds a lot of stuff to look at, meaning its harder to see the use of the same .25 texture scale across the whole ground.

I'm all for a clean map, don't get me wrong. But there is a huge difference to a "clean" map and a "bare" map.

If gameplay on this is a blast, i really hope you move it to a clean map =)

Ok you've done it.

If your goal is to create an iceworld for tf2 as a mapper. FAIL. :sneaky2:


Iceworld has been made by a monkey that found a computer with steam.

 

[le_toms]

Have any of you even played the map? Because as it stands right now, it only has 2 downloads. Seems that you're all jumping on the bandwagon the first poster has started and not thinking for yourselves.

P.S. For the record, Iceworld was created long before Steam even existed.

I wasnt on any bandwagon. I was simply saying why its good to have detail. As for the 2 downloads, The screenshots themselfs show everything about the map, no offense. Because its generic and detail-less you can almost tell my the screenshots how the map will play. Past that though i havent been on resently but tonight i will download this and give a run though.

sniper, please at least explain what is it that you disagree or don't like about the map.

helpful criticism please guys.

I understand the details are lacking, its only a start with TF2..
This was just a quick crash course for me with TF2 mapping, with the entities (restricted entry, capture zones, etc..) different from counter-strike maps I used to do back in the day.
My first CS map was as similar, an Iceworld modification, which we ran on our server for a little while until it was later taken out of the rotation for newer maps I created.
My next map should have more detail, I'm working on a linear capture point map, which won't be anything like this.
If people like how this plays I may consider ramping it up a little on the visuals.

Don't mean to sound like a prick in my responses, I just hate when people judge something on one aspect alone. Half the custom maps I see on TF2 have purple on most of their models still, yet they're in a bunch of server map rotations.

I think everyone got the meaning wrong then. your looking for a playtest of alpha map? from the begining post i think everyone felt it was a finished map.
but like i said, later tonight, ill download and give it a go ! =)

 

[le_toms]

yeah, this was usually how I released maps on our server, if people like how it plays and/or need fixes, I'll throw out a revision and rename it, if not I leave it as is. I guess its a little different getting people to play them if you don't have a server to introduce them on.
I'm new to releasing them on public forums such as this.
