I love the geometry.

You also get brownie points for not doing a grassy alpine theme.
You get MORE brownie points for doing a snow theme.

Looks good, quite narrow in the middle where that split is though. That said, I want to play it

The two routes to the finale look to come from quite different directions: you may have an issue with Back-capping.

There's back capping in MvM?

EDIT: Oh wait, I think I get what you mean. You're referring to when one team is busy guarding one entrance and a ninja-bot caps 'behind' them. My brain is still stuck on the PvP term of "back capping" lol

I don't know. I think that might be a good thing. It's an interesting way to increase the difficulty of just spamming the hatch entrance site. A lot of coal town's finale entrances are on the complete opposite side, and that finale is quite fun to play.

i wonder how difficult it would be to set up a multi-stage MvM map? the bomb carrying robot would have to remain in a capture zone for a certain time in the first 2 stages, then the usual bomb pit in the 3rd, or something

Maybe that's an ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD!?

It's clearly being hoisted up into that building.

You don't know that they don't just keep it there.

Should I make this tunnel a lil' bit smoother? But I'm a little afraid of those "invalid brushes"... Currently 10 sides.

Thats not how invalid brushes appears. You can add more sides without worrying.

^ This is an invalid brush. Notice how the face is bend into two triangles, because the vertex points aren't forming a flat plane.


Also, very experimental experiment:

Is the payload going through the waterfall? In that case, niiiice.

Quick question: is it okay to use a lot of func_brush for little detail that I want to be non solid to the player?

I don't see why not.

Yeah, it is.

I'm not quite sure how this will affect the gameplay. The waterfall will obscure the players sight, which will make a careless entry dangerous.

I was thinking that this could "force" people to clear the road ahead, so that the cart can be pushed through with less trouble.

More sides couldn't hurt. 16-24 is a good number. Though a door that swings open like that might run the risk of causing collision issues. You may have noticed that swinging doors don't exist in this game, normally.

Maybe I should make it non-solid after the open command (if that is possible)? It is shot only once, after capturing a point.

Submitted these three to the workshop just now. Clickable images like a boss:

Btw, can all types projectiles pass the waterfall?

Just throwing this out there — an idea for a unique 5CP setup where each team only has one spawn room but doors open and close to make faster routes more accessible. I'm only showing how it would look for the northern team to make it easier to follow; the real thing would be symmetrical.

Does this seem doable?
