WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

No this one WILL get done. Might take 1-2 weeks with all the stuff I have left to do.

Oh and every day from now till release I will post 1-2 screenshots of the map.

Just don't stick to the cliché of space = no air. Do a planet that has an atmosphere.

No, do this. Cover the whole map in a drowning trigger_hurt.

Working on cp_gemini

I made a thread about this earlier, but it's going to be a variation on A/D- first stage has 2 points open at once. Depending on which BLU caps, they'll go to one of two second stages, each of which has 3 cps. The left route stage 2 has a wind/mountain theme, the right route has an aquatic/underground theme.

EDIT: When I say theme I mean overall feel, the actual textures will be consistent on both sides.

EDITED EDIT: And yes I will finally finish something this time (although I say that every time)

That waved sand texture looks ewey.

I always wanted to try space.

Blame void.

Been working on a simple trading map for my trade server for a day or so. Supposed to have a supermarket look to it.

 

[LeSwordfish]

can i recommend finding a red tile texture, instead of using the dev one? and you might want to make those windows a bit larger, they look a tad cramped?

but otherwise, much better than i'd expect from a trade server, looking really good

It looks fine in-game. Some boxes are more crowded than others. The Heavy items won't even fit in the same size box. I did some more work on it last night and decided to make it look like a museum rather than a supermarket. The display cases still need a texture though.

The map is divided into Weapons (red) and Hats (blue). The lighting is tinted blue in the Hats room and red in the Weapons room.

The cases in the hats room are full of hats.

There are also mannequins modeling some of the hats.

The pedestals in the center hold some of the hats that fit on all classes such as the Towering Pillar and Halo.

I like the idea, be nice to have servers dedicated for just trading instead of asking in servers for people to trade with.

I really like this idea. Looks a lot cleaner and well done than other trading maps.

May I suggest rounding some door corners off to make it look nicer?

 

[LeSwordfish]

boost the texture size on the floor to hide the repetitions.

Seconded. I think it's only meant to be used in the 3D skyboxes, at full scale. At this scale it looks like someone took a big rake to the whole desert.

Archway doors is what I was thinking.

Releasing it may be complicated due to the fact that the map has no spawn rooms or anything to support two teams. You have to use a custom configuration and Sourcemod plugins to disable autobalance and force everyone onto the same team to get actual traders into the server instead of spawncamping griefers. The plugins I made are honestly a mess, but once I get them cleaned up I'll release the map, plugins, and config file as one batch.

I reaaaaaally hope gooba returns to the forums one day. I totally want to continue to see how this stuff develops. Some compiled items

Man, I really don't understand trading servers over just using TF2items.com or asking in a server or on a forum. Seems like the most boring waste of time ever.

Nice models, Acumen, I like those a lot. I worry that the metal might not stick out enough -- most the space themes use that same gray for walls and floors, don't they?
