CP Whitewash rc1

[AtomicKirb]

After more than a year, whitewash has hit rc1!

An Attack/Defend map set within a good-ol'-fashioned desert/industrial environment, BLU attacks a once abandoned RED facility, now up and running again thanks to a newly built hydroelectric dam.

Special Thanks to:

this definitely has potential, i like the balcony/shack area in the 5th screenshot a lot

Control point A looks a little tight, and I've only seen one pickup through all the screenshots.

Nonetheless, I can see plenty of fair-ish height advantages (from the view of the screenshots you've gave us), and I think it should be fairly interesting to play sometime. (Hopefully you'll run it in one of the tf2m impromptus sometime)

Another thing I noticed was control point A being sided towards the attackers. Unless it's got a long cap time, I don't see this working perfectly well.

I downloaded it and took a quick look around and I really liked the detailing; especially the unplayable areas. I am, however, a little worried about the gameplay in some areas, as it seemed a bit cramped or linear, but only a real test will tell. Overall, though, as a first contribution, this is really neat.

Yeah, it's really cramped. Like, Junction cramped. I don't know if I'd describe it as "underscaled" as such, but it's definitely too tight overall.

On the upside, the detailing is really pretty. Like... well, Junction pretty.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think the under-scaling is an issue with the entire map, or just certain areas? I know final cap is a little tight, but then I feel like cap A is fine. 'Course I won't know until the map is tested with multiple people.

We actually playtested this last night on the server. Feedback here: http://feedback.tf2maps.net/map/cp_underground/

I didn't even know it was being tested, my bad. Thanks to all who gave feedback, changes will be coming soon.

In a perfect world you would be notified by PM from a bot that your map was playtested 'and heres the link' etc, but that's too complicated for vbulletin :'( Working on a solution actually at the moment for it but it's still a pipedream for the time being.

 

[Pocket]

In theory people shouldn't be asking for other people's maps to be tested in impromptu at all, unless it's a map that's been around for a while and they like enough to want to play for fun at the end or something.

Whoops, forum link is still called Underground. I don't know how to work this.

Mods/Admins can only change thread titles, I'm sure one of them will probably catch it via one of these two posts.

Played your map today during the gameday and had a pretty decent post-gameday discussion with Egan and RubbishyUsername. You'll hear what we thought when that comes out, but I really wanted to address some issues I had with the spawn.

It's very odd to have a route only be accessible from a spawn room when their are two rooms. We had a few suggestions, one being getting rid of the second spawn completely. Another would be to Make the entrance to the route more obvious by moving it outside the spawn.

One more issue was the exits from Blu's spawn area into what we've been calling "the warehouse." You only have two exits, one up top and one below. All Valve maps (or at least those I can think of) have three exits, and one of them is usually larger, signifying it is the "main" exit. Here are a couple of paintovers I did to illustrate one way I thought you could remedy the problem.

But yeah, you've got a decent map on your hands here, just a few adjustments that need to be made!

Just realised I haven't said how pretty this map is for at least a month. Damn it's pretty. Just... ooooh.

EDIT: Just noticed in one of the screenshots that there are some really thin beams above B. Not only are those impractical for holding the roof up, but there's no way you'd be able to do the wiring for the lights hanging off of them.
