You've really just got to be careful about how you use them regardless of the map type.

Thats the Underworld bit.

The lava looks a little plain. In case you are not planing into making it a model (which would solve the listed things), here are some things you might want to consider:
Scale it up. It repeats a bit too much imo.
Use the TF keyworded one. There is another variant that is almost identical but uses vertexlitgeneric, therefore having visual glitches.
Displace it. Just give it distortions in all kinds of directions. Mainly anything but up or down.

Yea, thats the plan. I realized later how repetative it was.

I remember when the carts came out and for a short time everyone wanted make a race course.

Gotcha covered, Frozone.

Question- Does this look overscaled? FYI it's about 2500 units across.

I think I've made 15-20 new points for B on cp_theory by now. Thinking about something like this:

Split caps, 2 small areas and 1 big. The idea being you need to take the door controls. Although the door won't open.

 

[YM]

Well that sounds ludicrously disappointing. Why capture the door controls if the door doesn't open?

 

[tyler]

Yeah, that's kind of the same problem I had with this iteration of the split cap idea too.

 

[Muddy]

You should have the door open slowly and dramatically and have it be pitch black inside, and then all the lights come on at once and reveal that it's a tiny room with a small health kit in it.

Yes.

 

[Moonrat]

Shittrock was flat as fuck anyways, so why don't I try making something decent for once?

Beautiful view going on at BLU's spawn here:

Rather than making the door a passage for player. Make it a the doors to a more important control room (or whatever stuff is important in the map). This way you can keep it out of the playing area while still giving it a little bit of sense. The door in that case can be just a detail while at the same time making the system easier to understand.

Yeah, I mean beside the door I'll probably have windows showing a control room or something else important once it's finally detailed.

I might go with this for the time being just so I can get a new version out.
