WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

[SnickerPuffs]

Working on the landing zones for the map me, Diva Dan, and BenCo are making for the MvM Contest.

Here's one of them!

Spoiler: Large Images Ahead!

 

[Yabayabayaba]

here are some screenshots of my map

Some of those walls look really thick, prehaps even half their thickness, depending on the final wall material

More WIP!

same old, same old...

started to work a bit on the tample are (yes, a tank can fit beneath that broken pillar)

Spine!

Still feel like I should lengthen this one...

I changed the skybox to a bit more of a deserty skybox, and I may or may not have taken the light settings from mvm_giza... But he did put them up for the taking on the download thread of the sphinx pack, which I have taken most of the assets I'm using from...

I felt like trying out making a weapon skin

Spoiler: 3 Of the better outcomes

And a full album (without wrench or knife)

 

[MaartenS11]

Does anyone know how I can set the mission briefing to attack defense rather than control points?

Which is fine, i did put the info there so others could use it. Which is the entire idea of such pack.
Also, the giza light settings are a modified version of those (generaly longer fade distances and angle which improved the fog in the map due to the huge visible range you have in the skybox). The settings in the thread were however the ideal settings earlier on when i didnt have a skybox yet.

less keen on the scatter or shotgun, but that grenade launcher is gnarly

Mission briefing is entirely controlled by the map prefix I think.

 

[MaartenS11]

Attack defense and 5cp share the same prefix

 

[Crowbar]

If the briefing you're naming is the text that shows on the screen before the match, yes you can edit it in both teams to whatever you want in one of the gameplay entities, probably some control point master.

So, the second alpha version of ctf_grantie is soon to be realeased for your enjoyment. There is still plenty of adjustments and fixes to do, but as for me, it looks pretty decent.

Orginally I planned to keep this map as a rectangular symmetrical map, in order to recreate this feeling of "tug of war", but some people have enouraged me to change the layout. It's still going to be a rectangular map, however, it will have a sort of "Z" type layout, that s similar to the ctf_doublecross. That's why the a2 version of this map will include new left side path to the intel room for both teams. so keep an eye out on your left side.

In the future this map will have more paths to infiltrate both your's and enemy's bases. Either way, have some screenshots to check.

This is what I mean with mission briefing. The problem is that it displays the 5cp mission briefing and I want the attack defense one.

You can write one manually that gets packed into your map, just make a text file called <mapname>_english.txt where your .bsp is and pack it in on compile. <mapname> includes your version number too.

Example of mine (ctf_arroyo_b9_english.txt):

Objective:
Capture the enemy intellegence from their base and return it to your own within the time limit. First team to the capture limit wins.

Other Notes:
Please leave feedback for this map, and don't forget to have fun as well!

Cool! I like the train crossing a lot. This map reminds me heavily of snowplow.

-snip-

Blending snow over the edge of a cliff makes it difficult to tell where that edge is, which is something players will want to know. Valve likes to keep their snow-edges small and also somehow make the lighting not blend over the edge. (Different snow material? Hard-group the two faces? Not sure.)

had the idea for a frontline MVM map, a big thing i want to work on is the atmosphere, i want to give the feeling of a last stand.
i got so exited to work on it, i made a small section just now

you can't relay tell from the pic but the plain has barbed wire around it to make it look like it was quickly made into a big Fox Hole

this pic \/ is sorta the feeling i am going for except..u know in the 1940's

 

[Micnax]

I really hope those buildings are func_detailed

Well, they don't read out func_detail in the 2D view, so I'm gonna guess no.

LITERALLY my map name and idea, minus the Frontline Experience™
Does this mean I have to change now?
