From 12/2/09 gameday: I definitely had fun on this map. The layout didn't seem vulnerable to sniperage and I was able to play a variety of classes (medic, heavy, engie) with a fair amount of success. So that is good. As you have already noted, throwing some detailing in there seems like the next step.

Thanks

Also I did more work on the back of the laser, since a lot of people were complaining about how the pipes looked entirely inflexible for something that would tilt 0-15 degrees, hopefully these look better.

Currently 4358 triangles, ignoring Sub-D's and animation frames, more than the level it's for at the moment!

should be way more rounderish ! tf2 never saves polygons on such huge objects when it comes to them being round as round can be !

Were you referring to the object as a whole, or the wires?

Because I definitely agree with you for the wires, and have already smoothed them out a lot, but the object as a whole is definitely not in need of more detail.

I seem to have run into a bit of a problem with the laser.

In source various triangles have become incredibly malformed, and look absolutely awful.

These issues are not present on the mesh inside max.

Idk what I did, but re-exporting and recompiling fixed it, thanks for the help tf2m chatroom people.

You need to make it clear that this door: (in spawn)

is not actually a door. I see people trying to run out there every game

 

[Sel]

Yeah me too hahaha, I'm gonna rework the spawns when I finish the next version. In the meantime I'll just listen to them talk about how silly they are that they keep running at it even though it's not real

1. The walls look ugly as all hell.
2. It a bit big for arena
3. Make a KOTH version!

 

[Sel]

It was alpha 4, so visuals aren't really on my priority list.

No it's not :\

Maybe.
