CTF Overlook rc

[DaBeatzProject]

Time for some updates! I might release a6 later today or tonight.

Changed the intel position to the middle of the yard. and changed sewer exits.

Added a ramp+sniper deck leading to the intel room.

The new sewer entrance!

An other look at the sniper platform.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions before i go on and release a6? Do tell!

The changes look pretty good to me. I'm glad you moved the intel out into the open.

Again, extend the barrier across the walkway. It just seems to stop suddenly.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Hmm.. After the short test this afternoon, what did you guys think of A6 (and I will release properly tomorrow evening!)? I felt that the sewers were (again) too easy to use, so giving some suggestions might be helpful for me. Thanks!

Extend barrier go back to dropdown

 

[Psy]

Dropdown needs to come back!

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Extend barrier go back to dropdown

Dropdown okay, but why should i extend the barrier? It's also meant for snipers to cover the middle area, and not (only) for attackers to give them an other route to the intel.

Feedback boomerang!

Looks like you could go under there, but NOT POSSIBLE. [1]
Set the props in here to nonsolid, and the fusebox-thing on the outside too! [2]
Clip this area, it's worthless. And, funky black edge [3]
Sentry spot covers all exits. 'Can' be shot from the big diagonal one, but with the dispenser there there is no danger for a camp-engy. [4]
Nodraw. And I don't like how far down the floor is. I personally would raise it something like 64-128 units. Just an opinion though, not a suggestion [5]
All these arrowsigns are solid and you can stand on them, easily fixed with entity report! [6]
This is a one-way path.. somehow I feel it should be clear to the player earlier, though I can't blame you because I have the same issue in my map! Also, you clipped one corner but not the others, do you hate these other walls? [7]

That's what I could find, not as extensive as your feedback on my thread, but that just means yours is more polished, good work

I might release a7 tomorrow, but here's some pics of the middle (some changes, like the sewers, they don't exist anymore!!)

Tududuuuu details!

I think you should finish Cornfield

 

[Hellfire]

agreed with radaka

Hey guys, this is a thread about Overlook, not Cornfield. Anyway...

I don't know if you've clipped everything properly in the new version but - using the above as an example - you need to clip EVERY GODDAMN THING YOU CAN GET SNAGGED ON. There is nothing more annoying then getting snagged on a doorframe that is 8 - 16 units thick then dieing as a result of it. Triangle clip everything. Otherwise I will hunt you down.
