Looks good and I like the changes I'm seeing too! Your big generator room looks a bit identical to Powerhouse, though, try to spice it up a bit!Big things are coming in Overflow's B5!
yeah I'm scrapping the map I showed on the last page
the layout is incredibly flawed and the brushwork is messy
so there goes about 18 hours of work time down the drain...

You wouldn't believe how much time I've wasted on projects I've given up on midway (or even some time after release).yeah I'm scrapping the map I showed on the last page

This is my reasoning for recreating outflow, now overflow. The map had a solid theme and was favored a lot, but the issue was I didn't really feel all that inspired about it. It felt lacking in the way I had made it, even though everyone loved it.
So, in my opinion, if you ever feel a project dies, go back to it a little bit later but recreate it from the ground up with something new in mind.

That lighting!
I love it!
The generator room may need a bit more brightness, but the rest? I love the vibrant, bright and easily identifiable light levels. <3
Still placeholder water on the bottom there in that last screenshot I hope?Big things are coming in Overflow's B5!
Also, I wanna download that map so bad. Oh, and in case you didn't notice, that particular 2D skybox has its clouds messed up i.e. not aligned with its neighbors, so there's a clear seam which is pretty ugly. Might wanna fix that in the vmts, or just replace the skybox with a different one.

I wanted to make the generator room slightly darker based on the idea that no one is using the larger open side areas at the moment. This way it pushes players away from it instead of towards it.
I think the skybox is fucked up because of the angle I took the picture at was an area where a skybox is in front of another skybox. Could just be a simple fix though. And I'm working on a 3D skybox, so it shouldn't look so obvious with where it's at.
And yes, the water is a placeholder for the bottom area, I just need to look around for a better river texture.

What's the name of the fork lift in the item directory? And does someone have the download if it's a custom model?
I'm talking about the visible seams in the skybox, like the 2D skybox. You can clearly see where TF2 places a "box" around the map because the skybox itself is textured wrong.
Is this a leak?
I've seen that before, it was because a light was at the exact level as the ceiling, Is the light you're using touching a wall or ceiling?
Could be wrong, I'm just a scrub.

That was exactly the issue, thank you!
So here are some more updates! I've made some big changes that will affect the rest of the maps gameplay so I should be releasing a new version in the coming days. Here's a couple screenshots.
Here's a shitty skybox while we're at it:
Yes, I know the cliffs look like shit and everything, I'm gonna do some adjustments and stuff.
Now that's already looking good.
