A small CTF map with indestructible sentries. I've never heard Godslayer laugh like he did when I used their knockback to get to my base with the intel. I had another map with the same name which was cute regular CTF, but noone is ever going to see that one unfortunatelly.

This was supposed to be my second entry to BATT contest in collab with Godslayer, but it just didn't happen and this map remained just a blocked out layout.

My second attempt at 5CP with a 3 story tower as the middle point and 4 rockets at last points as the namesake.

A CTF map with a CP in the middle controlling a shotcut. The connection between CP and shortcut doors was not obvious enough and paths in the bases needed to be simplified as well, but I went on to do something else.

Intended to be the best map ever with one side detailed as a water treatment facility and the other as a foundry, ended up in the orphanage with the rest of them.

I wanted to do "clean" Egypt, with no wood or broken blocks. TF2 Egypt textures however are more uniform that those of UT and the map was just yellow. At least I managed to make an actual pyramid in the playable area.

Competitive variant of Namicott. Got a fuckton of feedback from Scorpio and waxpax, but my interest in comp TF2 died soon after from unrelated reasons.

A recreation of UT99 map of the same name. TF2 variant ended up being a bit too confusing and with a bit too crappy final CP.

CTF with flags on MVM tanks, which drop the bomb for instawin of the flag is not capped for long enough time. Needed some fixing of the announcer and sirens, otherwise often noone noticed the tanks dropping the bomb.

This should have become a construction themed 2-sided SD. Construction pack is cool, there should be more maps with it.

This was supposed to be entered into the MVM contest. I built the church, thought out the rest of layout and went off to finish and release Morras Castle instead.

2-stage A/D that played not at all how I was expecting. I restarted Coppermine at the same time so this got dropped in favor of more promising ventures.

A CSF map based roughly on UT99 map of the same name. Not a true galleon tho, gameplay considerations take priority over technical exactitude.

A reverse payload map. First impressions: "This is my favorite doom map". 20 minutes later: "This sucks".

My Invasion contest entry. I wanted to add a pile of gravel at B to make the road less flat, signs of a truck going off cliff, small replica of coppermine down in the skybox and then wrap the map up, but I've decided to just move on.

Bsp link to false legacy is broken.

 

[Sergis]

yep. it looks like i deleted it sometime and left no backup or anything, not even in my maps folder

 

[Egan]

Here's cp_falelegacy_b2.bsp.bz2. found it on here.

 

[Auwi]

This thread reminds me that I should also donate my VMF files to this forum

So, you just giving up on mapping or something? Looks like you dumped your entire life's work here.

 

[Sergis]

nah, i still have a couple maps i intend to finish before im done here

 

[YM]

That's a lot of maps son.

Couple things:

One, was there some sort of plan for the second BATT map's detailing? I'm noticing a wide variety of roof heights, including a bunch of pitched roofs, and I'm curious if there was a purpose for all of it.

Two, I pulled up the cathedral to see if I might be able to do something with it, and... most of it is missing. Did you accidentally upload an older, unfinished copy?

there was no plan, i just sat down and farted out an abstract layout

that i did. heres a better cathedral https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9180221/TF2/Orphanage/mvm_unrest_a2.vmf

Ah, BATT. Good times. Good times. If you stop mapping, Doom, don't leave us forever. I'd be sad.

added 2ss maps

in case of troubles with downloaded vmfs this might help

the vmf for freshwater in the mappool thread has a "saved from url" html shiz in the beginning, which is likely what was crashing multibears hammer

fixpls

If that is the case, other .vmf's will have a similiar issue.

I don't actually remember which ones I had to force into the .vmf file type, so if you stumble upon a crash, please tell me.

I have fixed freshwater (and prescott, thanks Stega for that) so far.

If you get this error, please do the following:

• Right click the .vmf file.
• Click "Open with"
• Select your favorite txt editor (notepad or notepad++)
• remove the first 2 line until the first {
• remove the very last line (it's all stuff in <>)
• replace the very first line with "versioninfo" (no quote marks).
• resave the file

That should work.

UPDATED the second to last rule.

im lazy and refuse to pack them

 

[UKCS-Alias]

Right click on url and you can save it directly without having to view the html thingy. Its much more efficient and is a more common reason to fix such things. And this is why many hate dropbox for these things since especialy the newer interface can mess that up quite badly.

 

[Sergis]

Added Stroika and 3some. Even tho I really wanted to finish them one day, realistically it isn't going to happen.

 

[Etasus]

I'm interested in CTF C3F... just one question, the other ctf maps all had gimmicks, is there any gimmicks i should be aware of before i start work on it?

 

[Sergis]

i dont even remember anymore

its a csf map tho not plain ctf

 

[Etasus]

whats a csf map?

 

[Sergis]

three different flags on each side and you gotta cap them all

youll need csf prefab somewhere on forums for the hud icons

 

[Etasus]

oh... do you have any REGULAR ctf maps? or do they all have some sort of gimmick...
