Ares

An idea I've had in my head for a while has been the idea of a map with a strip of mid that entirely flips around and changes as the round progresses, but for a long time I really didn't know what would be a good way to justify it; after all...

tf2maps.net

Custom Mechanic(s): Changing mid layout, Underworld, Random effect potions, Prophunt minigame.
Contributors: Aulli
Extra Info:
one of the potion effects is batallion's backup, which for some reason doesn't show the particles in first person nor the icon on the hud nowadays.
every 32~ seconds after the first mid flip a random event occurs with some slight weighting to make sure one doesn't happen too often, there's only two and I think I'll probably keep it that way; underworld, and potions.
I plan to have a custom announcer at some point if/when this is finished, which will announce things like the random events, instead of the ambiguous sound queues.

Ares is the Greek god of War, Courage and Bloodlust, sometimes refered to as the Spirit of battle.
Using the greek assets made for it, I decided I'd echo the naming scheme of the original Hades, naming it after a Greek god, and I figured Ares would be the best fit for such.

I feel pretty satisfied with the layout for now, so I'll probably be spending a lot of the remaining time just giving it some detail.

Custom Mechanic(s): Bouncy Lava

[Mess About]

Map name: Spookery
Game mode: koth
Link: koth_spookery_a8
Custom Mechanic(s):
- friendly ghost that heal & resupply your team (same as a payload cart), and scare the enemy team
- pumpkin bombs that deal less damage than Valve's, allow you to do cool jump
- underworld that is a portal maze, find the right door and escape before the whole place explode, also avoid skeletons raining from above
Contributors: just me
Extra info:
- the map has embed.nav file for the skeletons
- skybox is sky_night_02 from Swamp theme pack

 

[Brokkhouse]

Map Name: Vacuum
Gamemode: Special Delivery Hybrid ("Double-SD")
Link: sd_vacuum_a7
Custom Mechanic(s):

• Vacuum area that gives you a speedboost, low gravity, and constant damage, making it a high-risk-high-reward flanking opportunity
• Custom Special Delivery logic and administrator voicelines featuring two lifts and two Australiums
• Cthulhu

Contributors: Brokk and Muddy
Extra Info (optional):

• Please restart the server before playtesting, otherwise the skybox may show up as completely black. This is a particle issue. Other than that, the map will play fine, though.

 

[SuperLuxDeluxe]

Putting this here before I forget!

Map Name: Soul Pit
Game Mode: Robot Destruction
Link: Click here!

Custom Mechanics:

• The robots are actually different in this map and can server purposes or retaliate!
  • The A robots move forward to the enemy's side to stoke the pyre. This generates cores depending on how many robots are around the pyre. As long as one robot is around the pyre, a secret fast route to the enemy intel will open!
  • The B robots are capable of casting spells in retaliation on hit. Some spells include summoning Jarate, Mad Milk, Gas Passer, fireballs and pumpkin bombs.
  • There is a singular C robot. It has a lot of health and can cast more spells, including summoning skeletons! If you do manage to defeat this robot, you will be rewarded with a ton of cores!

Contributors: SuperLuxDeluxe (Map and logic) - Pinewabble (Cultist robot models, logic)

Extra notes:
This hasn't had a test yet! Everything is verified to be packed though.

[norfolk]

Map Name: Orange Grove
Gamemode: Payload
Link: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/orange-grove.14626/
Custom Mechanic(s): The cart died and is now a ghost. This means it is non-solid and spooks players if they touch it. It also "haunts" various things as it passes, such as rising skeletons from the dead and moving objects to dynamically change the map.
Contributors: norfolk

Extra notes:
Haven't tested it yet! I also forgot to pack the nav file for the skeletons, but hopefully I can fix that in the grace period.
Uses Yaki's new skeleton prefab for basic skeletons.
UPDATED to a1a during grace period.
