Oh wow, that's a fantastic replacement for the intel!

I really want to play the map with that in it now.

 

[Owlruler]

Now that we have custom particles, you should make it so the paper isn't falling out but something else, since the paper is plain weird.

 

[Psy]

I don't think you can turn off that particle effect and replacing it with a new one would probably cause it to appear in other CTF maps in the same session.

 

[Rexy]

It is possible to turn of the particle effect, but it's only worth doing that for a late Beta or RC imo. (I havnt posted yet how to do this, but if there are many request I will make a tutorial)

(a modeler can ofcourse also change the origin of the particle efect inside the prop)

I mean...I guess you can, but since you have to parent the intel to the the stock intel model, I'm not positive of the process for that, hence the addition of a feedout printer on the intel. I'm honestly not too worried about that atm, right now, getting it a reality in the game is #1.

 

[Hanz]

Waah, I saw the untextured intel, but this textured intel is amazing man.

Thanks Rexy!

 

[Rexy]

You dont parent it to the intel, and that is why i only recommend it for late beta's and RC's And it's something the mapper can do.

I was talking about defining the bone where the particle effect should come from, if you want to add it

Also, if you know of a simpler way to implement the custom intelligence, please share with me, it would save me a lot of time at this point. I'll be in for a lot trial and error ahead.

Still shouting at Valve to make item_teamflag have a 'world model' variable, and the option to turn off the particles.

 

[jpr]

Custom flag model looks sexy.
I wouldn't use a custom flag though, since it causes so many problems, hud still shows a briefcase, you have to parent a model to the flag, the particle effect...

 

[Rexy]

The best thing really, like zpq said, is if Valve was kind enough to let us pick the model for the intel and on/off particles. Or even pick particles. I have one that I'd love to use for this model, but env_sprite doesn't parent to moving items...unless I'm not doing it right.

 

[Terr]

Is it possible to parent an info_particle_system instead? That'd give you even more options in terms of neat trails.

Ask also if they can implement a way to stop invisible spies from blocking captures in Invade CTF, while you're at it

I might--but I believe I like standing invisible on a point to block the capture...

Gameday Bump

Well I played 15 mins of it I think. If red was focused it wasn't that hard to defend the point, but sometimes red wasn't focused so that's why it was maybe a bit easy to cap a point sometimes.

I also saw that 2-2 was defendable today, so I think, if red is focused, they can defend it.

Other feedback, opinions, other stuff?

200th post in this thread, now I demand the lions share!
It was a nice map, all you need to do is to fix the fact that if you stand by the pedestal when the intel returns, even in overtime, you pick it up.

"all you need to do is to fix the fact that if you stand by the pedestal when the intel returns, even in overtime, you pick it up"

What? I thought I fixed this already for Hanz =(

I don't know, I joined in the last round and it was there last alpha so I just guess it was still there since he didn't say he'd removed it.

 

[Hanz]

I think it is fixed. :/

Since the thread is like on the 2nd or 3rd page or so I'll quickly bump this for the little test Youme made on the EU server.

I couldn't attend on the server so it would be great if some good give me their opinion.

Thanks!

The gameplay isn't bad, but some people think that the spire is overused, and that it's too hard to cap the second point on the 2nd stage.
