You will never confuse an enemy player--the bases might look predominantly one color or the other, but the lighting is quite neutral--those textures self illuminate and glow red or blue, but the light they produce from light.rad are much more white than any other color.

Ahh, excellent. A second round of applause for thinking so far ahead.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. It's also not dissimilar from 2fort's underground access. My whole intention in using these is to prevent the too well known ctf 'turtling' effect, caused by heavy defense and impenetrable fortresses. It's proven to work quite well in my alpha testing on my community server.

Did you notice the sentry gun blocking the pipe ?

There are a few places that are still in need of func_nobuild.

I love how you applied your style to fit the spytech theme. you have some really awesome ideas going on.

but I can tell this file size is going to be buttfucking massive

buttfucknig is not an adjective you noobs

 

[Penguin]

This looks gorgeous.

And it's bloody CTF!

I can only imagine how great this map will be.

 

[Zanpa]

And it's buttfucking CTF!

Fixed for you.

Looks awesome glad you took the Intel contest entry further.

My only reservation is the colored lighting...

It's quite neutrally lit, don't be fooled.

I'm adding an alt download link until the maintenance is over. I'll bump to first thread:

Damn you, maintenance!

I hate it when people give no indication they're working on a map or any insight to its progress and then BAM. Disturbingly awesome-looking map, already relatively finished at that.

I admire your layout drawing skills. :O

i tried out the map and it looks freeking sweet. i love the intel rooms

however it looks like the middle room with the platforms the come up needs a lot of work, and maybe some alternate routes to get in there.

also there are some textures on doors that dont look right

and you can build stuff in the tubes above the middle room

other than that it looks pretty good and i cant wait to play it

:O this looks buttfucking amazing.

Update bump. Beta 1. See you all after extensive detailing.

This is without a doubt the best CTF map in existence.

However, if I may make a suggestion?

Sirens. And Lights.

Remember 2Fort in Meet the Spy? I wanna see stuff like that happening when the flag is picked up.

That really sounds like a hot idea. I can certainly do something like that. Can you explain a little more of what you mean though? I'm thinking something like the light on the bombcart, that light with siren sounds. What were you thinking?

My good man if you were to find an unused wall in the spawn room(s) and assemble a smaller version of the lightup sign board from the video that displays a message in the same manner you would be a god. It wouldn't be terribly expensive in custom textures either, say a 3x3 sign grid of "random" boards, three of which spell out a message declaring the absence of the flag. If I recall the textures for the boards are pretty small.

Revolving alert lights (think old-style police dome lights) and a siren played at a reasonable volume in the vicinity of the intel room would be icing on the cake.

Like all the lights go dim except for the red siren, which sticks out like a sore thumb. There are also many noises and sirens, a whole base change when the flag is picked up would be really sweet.

Oh I have an idea, it's a bad example but sort of like in Monsters inc. when the little girl touches the monster and they quarantine the building. If you haven't seen it well, at least you're not a child like me. But it really illustrates what I'm thinking of.
