WIP CTF_Call2Arms

[Nosher]

This is a first map effort - it is a joint effort. Here are some early screenies followed by some 'afters'......

Here is the red intel room BEFORE......

and now....

...and the Blue Intel room...now..

The 'Cavern' before....

and after......

Cavern - from the higher level, before....

And now...

and finally Blue generator room.......

Date and time of the FIRST alpha test for gameplay for CTF_Call2Arms is very soon, where we want to make sure it plays CTF well....

Comments and feedback would be welcome

I like it, it's very well lighted, but I don't like the water texture, seems more like a HL2 texture.

Map looks great but those sharp corners are bothering me... why would someone make a corner like that? (architectural wise) I know you have squared the end off but it still looks unrealistic or impractical. Anyway, all other stuff looking great, just add some details and your good.

Awesome job so far! Especially for a first map. I like the volumetric light/dust particle effect going on in the main cavern. Be careful with the sloped ceilings as in the blue generator room, they can really screw up visibility calculations.

Point taken - and I will look at other TF2 water textures.....

That said, Stinky and I are working flat out to get it ready to test game play (just to make sure the CTF gaming element works)

Cheers for the feedback

Mmmmm - to be fair, you need to see that particular wall creation and structure 'in game' - it has not been made to look structurally accurate, but more of a class balancer within TF2....the alcove can now house a sentry, transporter, supply station, Spy recharging cloak (if crouched, you cannot be seen from the window), etc etc...

Thanks for the feedback!

Point taken on the sloping ceilings....
