WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

My memory screwed with me, in fact. The hack is even worse, because the thing was worn by the player, so their view is inside a train, and the player is moving, which pretty much created an illusion of player riding the train while the engine had no vehicle system.

 

[SnickerPuffs]

Now all you have to do is fit it around the players head.

I get that reference. Nice one Erk.

Well, if something is stupid but works..., then that's not stupid, still weird idea..., how player did walk inside a train if that train was on players head? or train was just to travel from point A to B without moving inside?

Soon to be running over players and robots in a map near you!

Thank god you're using a pantograph instead of some diesel stuff. We need more electric rail type of stuff in TF2. Trams like this, locomotives, EMUs (Electric Multiple Unit aka electric train without a dedicated loc), overhead wires, heck throw in some nice looking switches as well (instead of the single straight pieces of track we have now).

 

[Crowbar]

Also yeah, decided to finally share my progress on a something
Once upon a time, you see, I had hoped for a decent lighting system for models.

This is a nice thing..., all of that are props or something created with brushes? Will it be playable map or that's for contest?

 

[FancySnacks]

At first it started as a detail practice, some sort of biolab or research facility I guess. But now I really want to turn it into a real map, perhaps a map for custom gamemode.

(I know it's a hammer screenshot, don't hurt me pls)

It's for the final control point detail contest, and yes those are all props (except the dirt)

EDIT: I should add that I have no part in the project, so all ratings should go to crowbar

There are actually already overhead wires in the game. However they're not very flexible. I have modified them to be modular and I will be releasing them along with the train at the end of the contest.

Wait really? What map uses them, because I've never seen them.

I know the poles are on Well, the wires that go with it aren't. Both are used on freight in the OOB areas. Apart from that I'm not sure.

Pretty much finished my layout for the mvm contest, map is done, time to make some missions!

Know that's hammer and that's very very early alpha without even spawns yet but worked on this RED tree for almost 30 hours and wanted some advice as that's not only a spawn point. On the bottom up to that lower bridge with gate and 1 floor higher where there is another gate inside a tree, all of that is a spawn area for RED. Everything above that point is for both teams, on the top floor gonna be intel and in plans to get there for BLU is just this tiny long bridge in front of camera and for jumpers there gonna be 2 balconys, one lower and one higher so if someone is a demo or skilled soldier they can get up there. Now the question is, is one way up for non-jumping classes enough?, can BLU capture it if RED would decide to never go outside of their tree but insteed put on every floor up a massive sentry nest? Also if one way up is not enough and got idea, please try to not say "more bridges", there's no place to drill that tree anymore, way on the cliff is only from right side from where took this screenshot so bridges on left side of the tree would be pointless.... but idea is an idea, so yeah... any ideas?

Just make sure the ways in for non-jumping classes aren't ridiculously easy to camp,
A long thin bridge into a narrow doorway should not be the main entrance, ever.

unless the server like stalemates for some reason.

 

[Panckakebro]

Ok so i'm sick of propper not working. Would someone like to compile some basic rock props for me? You can use them freely if you don't take credit.

 

[Panckakebro]

Also can someone take a screenshot of the tf2 configuration in hammer for me? I fucked it up. It's important because I need hammer working for a school project.

Make sure the railings dont block any key sentry spots. Looks good from what I can see!

You know what would be a cool theme for this? It looks like it could easily take a form similar to cp_hadal, and it probably wouldn't be too hard to put it underwater... Other than that, nice map!
