Strikezone - A unique spin on King of the Hill with a second point that launches airstrikes

This King of the Hill gamemode variation has a secondary point. The point can be captured after the main point by any team, but it does not contribute to team progression.
Instead, capturing this point launches the airstrike: both main and secondary points are locked and reset, the doors slowly close and an airstrike happens, killing everyone outside of buildings...

ALPHA 2 - THE VENTFUL UPDATE

  • added vent systems, each system has 4 exits (1 red base, 1 blu base, 1 near the main point, 1 near the airstrike point)
  • added a door to an upper spawn exit on both sides (before you could just go in as any team)
  • added some details to the underground area
  • added a second spectator camera
  • added a conveyor belt texture (by MegapiemanPHD)

dabmasterars updated Strikezone with a new update entry:

ALPHA 3 - THE PRETEST UPDATE

this is a small update to make some changes before the playtesting (as of 18:50 my map is on 8th place in queue)
  • decorated spawns with props
  • applied basic textures to differenciate red and blu buildings
  • fixed shadows being casted from the wrong direction
  • fixed invisible water (apparently it introduced a new bug where the water would create a visual hole into the void, i've been trying to fix it for 2 hours to no affair, so i'm just gonna leave it in.)

dabmasterars updated Strikezone with a new update entry:

Strikezone development indefinitely postponed

Because of several factors beyond my control (vbsp breaks the 3d skybox after an update), this map will not receive updates until I fix the problems. This is not a big deal for me, since the map is considered ready for general play. I will still reply to any comments on the workshop page, as well as on the map thread. Playtests may also happen occasionally.
