CTF Overlook rc

[Vander]

Wow DBZ! I'll come out of hibernation to state this map looks great! Downloading now.

*edit* Ran through it just now. You've created something special here.

One thing I noticed was on the blue side around the drainage pipes there is something clipping through the wall and one of the pipes.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Thanks, I totally looked over that.

And it's DBP, not Dragon Ball Z.

 

[jpr]

dragonball pee!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr.Blob]

Looking amazing with the new details.

 

[Tinker]

Man, you've gone from an initial alpha that made me cringe to something that's pretty damn well crafted. Awesome job!

 

[Penguin]

it's like doublecross and offblast had a baby.

And they named it overlook.

Yeah, that's a displacement, and I got stuck in it. Those drains need playerclipped as well.

Also this:

Bloomtacular.

Why is everything extra-shiney in this map? Especially the vents. Did you build your cubemaps with larger surfaces?

Just a comment on the gameplay of this map:

I got a chance to test it last night on 10v10. It was very spammey, and really not very fun. However, once I got used to it, I managed to use the flanking paths, and it made for an amazing game.

Anyways, I would really like to try this map 6v6, as it could be really amazing then.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Thanks. Not really sure what you mean by "shiny", as I didn't build my cubemaps in a special way or whatever. I just have a lot of reflective surfaces, and i try to play with special lighting often.

Bump - Once the voting is over I'll release a B2. Ofcourse I need some good thoughts about the map.

Are you guys happy that the touch-return is gone?

Remove the windows at mid. Or else.

Uhm, not 100% sure what you don't like about them. Is it the fact that you can see people, or shoot through them. Because if the last thing is true, I could just put some glass in them!

 

[Tinker]

Yeah, you should probably put glass in those.
One thing I also noted at gameday:

Odd thingy in this room, when prompted you said it was "for cover" but it's tiny, has a huge hole in it, and the room is so small anyway that it doesn't matter at all. Get rid of it.

Au contrare, it's used to hold up the catwalk above it. Notice how far the walkway extends away from the wall there?

Unrelated but how many times does the map stack up your captured briefcases? I ran out of patience after capturing the intel 10 times or so and those red briefcases just kept stacking up...

Also, a small and simple issue: playing as scout, if you take the low path out of your base, you run into a piece of the roof if you move forward constantly. If you just kick that section back a few feet it should solve the problem. Don't have TF2 available right now so no screenshot but if you don't get what I'm talking about I can take a picture later tonight.

Briefcases go up to 15.

And I'm not really sure what part you're talking about, so a screenshot would help. Thanks.

 

[ANova]

This map is bad!!! jk

 

[HeaH]

sexual map!

 

[E.B.]

Okay this is what I meant:

If you run straight at that area with the danger stripes, the tip top of the scout's head will hit it and he'll stop for a second. It's just a little annoying and should be easy to fix by raising the roof there a tiny bit.

Also if you pretend the lights are eyes it kinda looks like a face:
