[WIP] cp_frontier

[daemon]

Hello, after a few months and a big fail map, I've been playing with hammer again for the past 2 weeks, and I decided to try again to make a map hehe, hopefully this time will be better.

UPDATE:
Changed to Attack/Defend mode

Still making changes to the layout and everything, it is very crappy early alpha as of now, just thought it was time to reserve the name hehe.



Overlooking CP1, blue respawn to right, CP2 to left

Trainyard, blue respawn left, CP1 right

CP2, those 2 holes in the wall lead to red respawn hehe

Layout, red cross = no access =)

That's it for now thanks for watching. :blush:

could be interesting. Have to play it to know, though.

first point looks great (but still not enough sniper cover, perhaps make a shack to contain the CP) . second point needs some work, I think it being in the middle of an open area like that is a bad idea. Nearly all valve CP (all points on the most popular maps) are in enclosed areas.

 

[TotalMark]

Seems small to me, needs some cover as Bonafide said.

Maybe this could be the first round, and you could try to expand it into a true Dustbowl type map with a few more mini stages.

Hi guys, thanks for your comments, I implemented some changes and I'm releasing alpha 2 version, I hope I pakratted everything ok and did all like it is supposed to.

I don't know if I will be able to do more stages. At first this was supposed to be an attack/defend map, but it bugged me that there are no sounds available yet, maybe if this is fixed soon I'll change it back and perhaps that way it will be more interesting than a single dustbowl like stage.

Anyway, here is the current version, its still early alpha but I think i set up everything correctly and should be playable/testable lol.

Here is the download link, and some more pics.

so...model textures were missing...just pointing it out...

As for gameplay...i dont know...it just seemed very easy for scouts, and in the brief time playing as engie I didn't really see any good sentry spots near either of the points.

And...just wondering...does that shimmering spot do anything? I kinda expected to get killed the 1st time i passed through...

 

[daemon]

Thanks man, I'll try to improve that.

The shimmering thing is env_dustmotes or something, just was testing how it worked/looked.

For the models I don't know what I did wrong, all the model files are pakratted in the map file, is there any other step to take?

Thanks.

 

[MrAlBobo]

oh right, someone explained this in the game, apparently pakrat does not add the model textures automatically and you need to do it manually
