[OFFICIAL] TF2Maps Arctic Theme Pack Thread

[Oatmeal]

Is this even still happening?

 

[Mikroscopic]

Instead of asking if it's still alive, why not create some content for it to keep it alive?

 

[Tumby]

We need somebody to make a list of what we have so far, compared with the things we wanted. Also, quality should be considered. So if something doesn't appear "good enough", at least mention why that is so.
After this list is done, people can fix their stuff and concentrate on making content that is really needed to make an arctic themed map.

 

[Mikroscopic]

The problem is:

Q: Can I submit things in this thread?
A: No. This thread is for joining the pack, discussion, sharing of ideas and WIP content. Closer to the deadline for content I will make a submission thread so keep watching this thread!

But...

Q: What is the deadline?
A: To be decided once the pack is further along the line.

I think we need to actually start promoting this project as "officially going on." Maybe we could have another jam or something?

 

[iiboharz]

Yeah - I might as well come out and say that this pack is pretty dead in the water. I haven't had the time or energy to follow a lot of this up. However - it's not out of the question to assemble a pack of the few assets that were created for this pack. I'll be looking into that within the week.

 

[TyeZenneth]

There's quite a lot of input to call it 'dead in the water'.

 

[EArkham]

Don't forget that the snowycoast assets can be enveloped by this as well. So that's a reasonable amount of models added right there.

 

[norfolk]

I hope this pack doesn't die. I'll make stuff for it and it will be beautiful.

 

[iiboharz]

There's quite a lot of input to call it 'dead in the water'.

When I say "dead in the water" I mean more that it's been kind of abandoned but...

Don't forget that the snowycoast assets can be enveloped by this as well. So that's a reasonable amount of models added right there.

I'm definitely going to be putting Snowycoast stuff into the pack!

snowycoast assets

Just a question, I'm using the snowycoast skybox (sky_outpost_01) in another map. Who made that? Was it you, or someone else?

 

[Mikroscopic]

Here's a little thing I whipped up.

 

[EArkham]

Just a question, I'm using the snowycoast skybox (sky_outpost_01) in another map. Who made that? Was it you, or someone else?

Yeah, I made it. It's a kitbash of Valve skies and custom work. Bits of sky_trainyard_01 with sky_night_01 and then painted on and gradients over top.

 

[Kube]

@PyroDevil and I should be able to incorporate assets into cp_blizzard, if we're looking for maps to do so.

 

[PyroDevil]

I know of some textures by timberghost that I've been planning on importing from the old site. He did talk earlier about letting us use the models and textures for the pack.

 

[Pocket]

Anyone here in touch with Acegikmo? The assets he made for Glacier would be perfect for this.

 

[nickybakes]

I put a poster on this thread, but I've also been making some custom particles for other projects, I can make some nice snow ones that are different than the stormfront snow particles. Maybe I can make "Thunder Snow".

 

[Mikroscopic]

Another one.

 

[Muddy]

Looks cool! But it looks to be in need of some anti-aliasing.

 

[Mikroscopic]

Here's a fixed version:

And something else:
EDIT: I wasn't satisfied with the original version of the ice poster, so here's a fix along with a version in Russian because why not.
