I don't know what I'm doing with this, so I think I'm just gonna make a cube map or something to practice game theory.
TF2Maps Presents: The Summer 2016 72hr TF2Jam!
- Thread starter LeSwordfish
- Start date
If you want to, I can submit for you.
Just thought i'd let people know - with just over 59 hours to go, we have nearly sixty entries already! If we keep this up, we could end up with more than double the number of entries to the winter jam! Thanks and congratulations to everyone who's submitted so far!
Since it's my first time making a map, I'm just gonna start with a simple devtexture map to give me an idea on gameplay theory. This is the progress of one half of the map. I still need to add the ammo and walls before I can send in version a1.
I got ades to do it for me, thanks anyway.
I'll be streaming me making... something for the jam in the SFM at ~mid-day BST time: https://www.twitch.tv/mkwiihacker
Hey guys.
I am making "kind of official" TF2maps overlay for live-streaming. I am also gonna be making different sizes, but for now I really need your feedback for this specific overlay. (I am not gonna lie, but I kinda have no idea what to put in top right corner.)
Any suggestions are welcome!

Yeaah. Seems about right!
(More changes to the Overlay.)

A slightly more careful count, 54 hours left, suggests that we have one hundred and three entries! We're not even one third of the way in and we're already breaking our previous record!
Huzzah!
No, it's called "overlay". Overlay mostly covers few parts of the screen. Layout, would just cover the entire screen.
Or something along those lines.
So, update.
The paltrok mill idea isn't going to work in Source. Too many things need to happen before it even becomes remotely possible to do it properly.
So, I wanted to do something. Made an SFM poster, uploaded it, then my brain said "hey, go sleep right now, or I'll give you this massive headache." So I slept for 7 hours, woke up, now kinda torn between leaving the jam and watching Crash's stream, or continue making SFM posters with the thought still in my head of "I wanna map".
Then, I suddenly remembered a layout scetch I made, oh I don't know, 2.5, 3 years ago maybe?, well before I joined this community. Never got around making it because of my inability to use Hammer (I had an old-ass MacBook Air back then, good luck doing anything useful on that) and because school was still a thing. A mirrored symmetry KOTH map with a twist: instead of putting the teams on opposite ends of the map, I put them next to each other (I did the Powerhouse layout before it was cool) with a mountain between them, with a train going trough it.
I have no idea if this is going to work, but here's the scetch. Then it was called Foglands, but that's a boring and generic name, so I decided to rename it to something else.
Meet koth_rockies. Will use the Frontline assets. Quick map story: RED and BLU want command over a bridge. So they have a fight over it.
ps don't take notice of the heights listed, I had no idea what I was doing back then and what scale meant.
