Ok, a few things... This is WAY early beta.. Sight lines.. are.. well... a snipers dream. You can almost hit the whole map from the base. The entire land scape is 4 brushes. 4. I am currently adding a LOT of trees to block the view, add cover, and a lot of ambiance. The textures are repetetive, yes, this will be fixed at a later date. Had this up on the clan server yesterday and tested out the game play. It flowed decently well after we got done playing who can snipe who from the corner of the map.
The bases arent there really. Those are just respawn rooms and a little sniper nest. There are a few ways down to the ground level, jumping is not advised as it is just high enough to cause damage. This may be changed later as well.

I dont even know why Im posting this, after looking at all of the awesome work you guys are doing, mine looks like.. well.. garbage.. :unsure:

When it works (apparently it's.... tempermental)

Actually it only "breaks" when Valve introduces new weapons that use new entity names (ie tf_weapon_sniperrifle_decap, tf_weapon_rocketlauncher_directhit, etc).

I did not know that.

But it re-affirms that you do some really weird stuff in your map.

Sure I guess I could let Medieval Mode handle the bulk of it, but winning teams getting their weapons back is a gimmick that I just haven't the heart to drop.

Nah, its to be expected. I suppose I've kind of pidgeonholed myself into the funmap genre, and so far my attempts at actual maps (you know, ones that you play actual TF2 on), haven't gone all that well.

One of these days I'll make a real map that gets everything right. In the meantime, however, I'll just let raw creativity take me wherever it may.

So I have been working on Breach going off of the feedback,
One of the things I had been working is changing the lights pending on who owns the point.
Neutral

Red

Blu

I feel the colors may still be a bit harsh, I tried to mute them out a little, but overal, I like the way they turned out. I also made the light prop were the hologram is parented to a team flag so that it glows, however, due to my computer not being able to handle direct X9, I cant test to see if it is working.

Other feed back suggested opening the point a little so I extended the capture zone to the deck which will hopefully help.

The rest of what I have been working on is FPS. It was slightly optimized before, but I have been working on that part more (not my strong suit). Ive also been searching for possible leeks.

Any thoughts?
