WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[Muddy]

It doesn't look too small, though it could do with some cover.

Also, protip: climbing props is never fun, so don't overdo the prop-climb passages.

EDIT: This was in response to ExtraCheesyPie.

 

[Uncuepa]

Isn't that a little... small? And no cover?

It's about the size of turbines mid, and twice the size of 2forts mid. So nope.

Cover is part of the prop clutter I have to do, also feel like it needs a pipe or something through the middle. Should have a1 available later.

Okay, so this is my custom skybox + the new orphaned map I've been recovering (which is almost done BTW :lol: )
I want to take this map as a chance to try out the pile of new stuff that's coming with the arctic theme pack.
Anyone want to take a guess as to what the original map was?

Hmm, before I post any WIPs, I gotta ask: How okay is it to take the layout of an existing map that ISN'T from TF2 as a basis for a map?

Because I just had the grand old idea of taking cs_assault, tweaking it around to fit TF2's combat, and using it as the first stage of a Dustbowl-esque CP map, and have in fact mostly recreated the map by now in dev-textured boxy form.

It's not at all forbidden, but most maps from other games don't work in tf2 because they were designed around different types of gameplay. Assault might maybe work as the first half of a stage, but it might prove a bit too simple. The only way to tell how it'll play is to make it I think.

Decided to redo everything about the map and make the sewer more of a feature.

I'm already thinking of additions and revisions based on TF2's gameplay, worry not!

Substitute for func_rotating's stop feature which func_door_rotatings don't have.

Using two func_door_rotatings spinning in opposite directions, parenting the prop to one of them and clearing it again.

This method is even easier than that. I use it often.

Edit: Wait I missed the point of that. Not sure how well stopping/changing directions would work with this.

Remeber this guy?

It's back... (with a nifty spawn location change)

Much better screenshot - I like the sky

I wanted to keep that watery area from the original Rift, as that chokepoint was somehow one of my favorite bits of the map C:

So this is my way of trying to explain how this water is warm enough to keep you alive. (The logs will be on fire)

 

[TyeZenneth]

Rift had water?

 

[chemelia]

Rift had water?

Yeah, right at the base of the circular tower.

 

[Kill_the_Bug]

Looks like you're making a curling stone

 

[radarhead]

Don't bother trying to make the water obviously warm. Snow and water CAN coexist without any gimmick!

 

[TyeZenneth]

Don't bther trying to make the water obviously warm. Snow and water CAN coexist without any gimmick!

But then how would I light arrows on fire?

 

[Exactol]

Finally returning to detailing my 2skillsets contest map

Yes, but the gimmick exists in mid, which is a giant cracked open glacier.

But then how would I light arrows on fire?

I'm not putting that in. It really only makes sense in medieval mode.

But then how would I light arrows on fire?

Fun fact: the torches inside the tunnel(next to the gargoyles) in rift lit arrows, but no one seemed to notice.
