Story of my life, man.

Story of koth_trainsawlaser more like it.

I think my map is submitted now

 

[Werewolf]

Submitted.....

 

[Diva Dan]

Submitted.....

That lava looks familiar... cp_alloy?

Also, that fan prop is pretty nifty. I use it in my map as well. If only tf2 had func_rotating...

Yes, from @Yrr's download

Edit: corrected

 

[takabuschik]

func_rotating...

You can use func_door_rotating, it's just as good, if not better.

If anybody is still missing an idea for an April fools map- make koth_harvest_rotating, where the entire map is parented to a func_door_rotating.

Displacements exist.

koth_harvest_rotating, where the entire map is parented to a func_door_rotating.

Even assuming no displacements (cp_junction_rotating?) I'm curious how a map with no world geometry would preform

EDIT:
More on topic (haha)

Also, that fan prop is pretty nifty. I use it in my map as well. If only tf2 had func_rotating...

Pretty sure if you use that as a prop_dynamic you can set the animation on most fans to spin. In fact, if that's moon_interior_fan01 then I've definately done that. Parenting to func_door_rotating would just spin the whole model.

EDIT 2.0:
Back off topic: I put a few hours into making a rotating map, and everything is jittery and i get stuck in the geometry. Maybe i'm doing something wrong, maybe that's how it is. maybe i shouldn't have the floor rotate, iono.

I think ctf_turbine has no displacements, at least in the playable space were it matters.

 

[LeSwordfish]

Yes, from his download

*her

or *this, maybe

 

[Mikroscopic]

I have only a few finishing touches to put on my map, but I'm still getting a little nervous. School starts again tomorrow... I hope I have enough time over the next three days.

I had no idea it had an animation... I even used it as a prop_dynamic haha

 

[Davekillerish]

I scrapped 2 entries, I dont want to scrap a 3rd one and not do anything, so screw it im submitting my most resent bad idea.

 

[takabuschik]

Map uploading to submission! I just can't wait to see what everyone else came up with!

Here's a little teaser for you all.

(note: that's actual in-game footage- I re-textured the billboard.)

That is seriously awesome... so jealous! Love the do not open file.

shit

For the determined, you could swap out the displacements with an array of triangular brushes.
Or convert them to a prop, but that not nearly as fun.

Or since the displacements are relatively flat you could replace them with brushwork, it would look bad but it would work.
