Don't mess with gameplay props.
The Mayann Project

It's like ah it would be so cool, but yeah I guess so, messing with gameplay props could prove a really bad and confusing outcome.
Quite surprised how much you can do with just the Mayan/Aztec assets EArkham did. However more than Mayan guy face, snake head, stelae and stoneworks would help a lot. (inb4 soon in like few months)
Indeed, i'm also using EA's pack but you can only go so far with it. More the merrier.
Why? I mean, there's literally a "just the center dot of the CP"-CP prop. If you keep that around, you should be good to go?
*edit: And i obviously don't mean like a complete redesign, just something that you'd be more likely to see in an mayan ruins-like environment. Like changing the other circle to a grayish rock texture.

Why not. Valve does it all the time. I've done it. It's really not that big of a deal.
Messing with gameplay props can lead to players not knowing where to go and what to do. There are still *very* clueless players playing this game. A control point for example, looks the same for every CP map. It's easy for players to notice. If you change that to something completely else, players might not go there and are lost in the map.
However, i think the idea was to make the CP "mayan", like adding some green mold, leaves, woody roots etc around it so it blends to the scene. But i think it's best not to touch those too much.

Yeah it would be really confusing if one map just had the capture point be like, a rocket or something.
changing the control point plate to some degree would not be an issue, I'd just recommend making it with the exact same proportions so it's instantly recognizable. Maybe matching the various rings in it if possible. at the end of the day, people still have a hard time finding the objective on hightower
Reskinning the cap point from chrome to gold with some simple Mayan calender style etchings would be pretty cool I think. Might even stand out better than the grey metal on grey temple floors and as long as it has the spinning icon floating on it people would still identify it easily
Probably because it's blocky-er and the glowing bit actually pokes out above the rest of the point, unlike the original. Also, the glowing bit has way more contrast compared to the rest of the control point mode, unlike the original where it's all metal-y and shiny.
Neutral/Red/Blue in both clean and mossy styles.
When viewed from a distance it's actually more readable than the original:
Its just a prop replacement, you should be using the normal holograms unless one is made to match this.
I think he was referring to the diameter of the colored ring, the original plate matches the size at the bottom of the hologram. this one looks slightly larger. I'm guessing small brick circles probably look awkward. that said the hologram probably sits on it fine, idk.
I would assume you could lower the hologram prop a little so the circle where it intersects with the point is the right size.
