PL Swiftwater (swift revisited)

[What Is Schwa]

I did smaller tests with RC2. I don't want to overwhelm server ops with too many versions. For example, I'm rolling in the suggested changes that result from this build into an RC4 and will privately test that. Assuming all goes well I'll be releasing after that.

Yay, then send it to Valve.

I dont no if someone renamed your map and distributed it but the other day the server changed to pl_lumberyard. I figured it would be bad but i figured mine as well try it. After the download it was pl_swift.

Anyone else scene this?

Remember 2f2f will test even the smallest of iterations if you msg me

Some graphical feedback: There is a light/shadow seam at the 3rd cp (fuel line). And the sawblade at red spawn doesn't spin. It has some motion blur effect on it, but it remains static which makes it look weird.

There are two other things I noticed, although I can't tell if they 100% map related. In the final area were two textures flickering when I was some distance away from them. It got better the closer I got.

And the console was flooded with strange error messages regarding the bone setup of the scout model (I was playing Scout on my playthrough) after capping cp 3.

This map is my no.1 favorite PL. It has beaten Hoodoo since it is RC1 (No offence Youmee, I perfer Alpine). I've done my best round as a spy in this map and as a sniper too. If ever valve has to add a Pl map, it has to be this one!

I've asked for help from other people with that problem, and so far no-one has come up with a solution. I cannot replicate the problem, and the texture is the same as all the other custom textures.

And the console was flooded with strange error messages regarding the bone setup of the scout model (I was playing Scout on my playthrough) after capping cp 3.

I can't replicate this either. Anyone else experience this?

Update re: flickering.

Problem solved. I wasn't using $decal.

Stupid mistake on my part, I can't believe it took this long to fix. Thanks to all those who have kept reminding me about it =)

Played rc3 the other night, was good stuff

 

[What Is Schwa]

Updated to Final.

Thanks for everyone's support over the past year. I couldn't have made this map without TF2maps - there truly is no better mapping community in the world.

Grats on making a great map. Works great in any size pub, and works great for Highlander comp play. Glad you got the final, we might even play this again tonight just cos the final

Keep the maps coming!

*Crossing fingers for community update inclusion*

I really like this map. It's awesome! I think Valve will knock on your door asking to include it in the next update. But before this, I should say about two things:

1. Bad engineer may catch all the team into the trap. Place there func_nobuild:

2. Too short trunk for the tree:

Congratulations for the release !
One of my favourite maps, since the gameplay "fixes" in Swiftwater (I didn't like Swift that much tbh)

 

[DontWannaName]

2 minor things I saw on my server today. Perhaps fixes can make it into the valve release.

1. The cart goes over a dirt mound, I dont know if already mention this one. Talk about derailment.

2. Sentry on top of a silo? Easy to kill but wtfbbq. lol.

Today was our first day running this map on my server. The response was great. Download times can make or break each player's decision to join the server so the small file size is so refreshing to see. Keep up the great work. No complaints here.

Have you seen this exploit yet?

[toutfou]

Nice find, I like the way you look at maps

 

[AlphaChannel]

Glad that exploit got posted. I came here to report that exact one. Guy really ruined a game with that one.
