[WIP] cp_drylands

[Randdalf]

what about moving last cp down a level?

I haven't really had an opportunity to do any testing on the last CP at the moment, so any balancing there has to be done after the current version.

I'm definately changing the spawns around that area for the next version however.

 

[Randdalf]

Yes it's Badwater, but I like how Badwater looks. I made sure it was pretty high to discourage people who thought they could jump up there. I think the roof might e a bit cluttered atm, and might need another sign around the cap wall but otherwise I'm pretty proud of it.

 

[HeaH]

It looks quite good!

/EDIT: Are you planning to make this a map for the competive community and entering it in the ETF2L 5cp contest?

[Randdalf]

How can I make this look better...

 

[MungoKing]

Getting a little detail heavy for an alpha, aren't you ;P. I'd say it looks fine for now

if you're talking about layout then it's in a4. I may after I finish the Blu side do an a5 for progress' sake

 

[Randdalf]

A little experiment turned out wrong, I'm going to scrap most of the detail here and do it over probably.

 

[Randdalf]

Coming soon...

So, I'm wrapping up BLU's side in the next day or so; and I made this little teaser campaign to start generating hype (if people get hyped about CP maps)

The full Flickr set is here (featuring 8 more bonus shots :O): http://www.flickr.com/photos/30879772@N03/sets/72157615367351784/

Oh yeah, it's also not called drylands anymore, but the new name is still a secret

 

[samn]

Ooh yes hype for your map is sweeping the internets, wheres the teaser trailer

Map looks good, I look forward to playing it

 

[Dustoxx]

Loonking good! :thumbup:

Looking excelent :thumbup1: as soon as you need a namechange for your thread send me a PM.

In this image - http://www.flickr.com/photos/30879772@N03/3358985715 - I don't really thing the sides of those I beams look so good, I'd use the cream metal instead.

 

[StoneFrog]

Nice! Looks very Valve-like. Keep it up.

Like the ones in granary?

EDIT: Turns out the ones in granary are concrete , so I used that cream metal texture instead; looks a lot better

 

[YM]

Yeah the blue and red beams in the badlands interiors are concrete too, crazy stuff. I think the cream metal is used in cp_well though
