Another update: Sublevel, my newest (and oldest! and only!!) map.

In like seven more updates it'll actually be apparent what's what! Wooo!

(EDIT: I realize this must be really unimpressive to you guys, but it's my first attempt at anything related to this sort of thing, so I'm learning, I'm building, and excited for myself. Someone's gotta be, right? :D)

Looks like you're using 8x16 stairs; real pr0es go with 8x12 ;)

Have you tried drawing your layout on paper before mapping? What you're doing looks like getting a layout down, which could easily be done on paper. Screenshots are much easier to comment on once they have walls ;D

They're actually 16x16, but is 8x12 the gold standard? If so, :O

I started with a layout on paper, with varying levels of success. I've deviated a bit since then since my proportions aren't very...proportional. I would have used graph paper, but I was (and, to a lesser extent, still am) not so familiar with the conventions of TF2 with regards to maps and room/hallway/whatever size.

Like I said, it's a learning experience. :D

Looking really nice Blob! :)

Is it a PL map? Or are the tracks just for details. :p

A crane has been suggested and is in the works here, however I don't think you will be able to use it until after the artpass contest.

LEGO :D

If you use PakRat auto, it'll Pak everything sans model textures (/me shakes fist). Chances are you have some custom stuff anyway, so Pak it just to be sure.

VERY early test for Swamplands future finale! (Hopefully)

Anyone interested in moldeing a steamboat? :3 I've also decided the only bit that really needs to explode would be the deck, I could use physics props and breakable walls etc for the rest.

Inside will be barrels/crates of dynamite etc. The test was just to see how a brush based boat would look really.
