Checkmate

Just because it exists in the real world does not mean it fits the tf2 universe.
edit: anyways, it was just my opinion.

Checkmate

You'll notice that that staircase is a) considerably thicker and b) supported fully half the way up.

I was doing to do a detailing gag, but I decided against it. Here it is, if anyone wants to look at what could have been

 

[radarhead]

Is that sign custom?

 

[Spipper]

Converted a certain map to passtime:

I'm excited to see if this even works out.
Getting the HUD to work correctly has turned out to be a bit tricky tho.

 

[Dr. Orange]

Converted a certain map to passtime:

Is that pl_frontier? It looks like Frontier, but snowy.

 

[SnickerPuffs]

Is that sign custom?

Yes, it's from this sign pack.

 

[Zed]

Is that pl_frontier? It looks like Frontier, but snowy.

1. It's a symmetrical map.
2. It looks nothing like Frontier.
3. How would one convert pl_frontier of all things into PASS Time?

 

[Dr. Orange]

1. It's a symmetrical map.

Well, it kinda looked a little like a symmetrical version of the 2nd point on Frontier to me.

2. It looks nothing like Frontier.

Idk, it looked a little bit similiar to one of the flanks...

3. How would one convert pl_frontier of all things into PASS Time?

Just remake the 1st and 2nd checkpoints, copy them, rotate them, and make them fit seamlessly togheter I guess?

 

[Muddy]

Well they made a Mannpower map out of Thunder Mountain.

 

[Pocket]

Just remake the 1st and 2nd checkpoints, copy them, rotate them, and make them fit seamlessly togheter I guess?

Or the last two. Someone already did that and made a CTF map out of it. I forget what it was called.

Completely fresh mapper and member here (if that wasn't obvious).
Working on my very first map (thanks Crash for the amazing tutorials) currently just titled "farm", although that's subject to change.
Any stupid glaring weakness/errors or just criticism is welcome. Ignore the CP messup, I messed it a bit up, and I'll fix it.

Middle point, outside. Sorry, Soldier mains for the indoors mid point.


Inside, no lights as of yet. Also missing a few walls and obstacles.


Second point, with forward spawns inside the house on the left.


And finally, the last cap.
As a question to you experienced mappers, is it better to get this "done" and start working on a new map or keep polishing the same map until it's Valve quality? I'm thinking the latter.

snop

honestly it looks like it's wayyyyyy too open
also there's not much height variation

 

[yelo]

That's true. I think I'll move the last cap to the side, rotate it 90 degrees counter clock wise, and add a new "lobby" area where last cap is currently placed.
This'll also allow a typical secret path from the house near second to last cap.

 

[ProfHappycat]

btw you should also at least add some lights in your pics before your post
also i noticed that the platform inside the building is floating?

 

[sooshey]

Hey everyone, i'm new-ish here and i just made a playable alpha of my first map, called koth_caribbean.

The spawns aren't shown because they're kinda underdeveloped, but there's mid and one of the "connectors". Let me know what you guys think!

 

[ProfHappycat]

ooh, I like the idea of the boatwreck around the point!

 

[Muddy]

Not bad at all for your first map! It does look a tad flat and open but may testing be the judge of that.

Love the tf logo on the back
