WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Here's a first map that I'm working on: right now, I call it "Home Plate". It's a single stage payload map that takes place in the heart of RED's armory. You capture "The Silo", "The Bomb Building", and "The Gate" before destroying a rocket at the end.

Here's the gate that opens when capture point 3 is opened.

This is BLU's first spawn. To the right is the silo. Note that I'm using the scrapped "End of the Line" bomb cart.

Here's the section leading up to the Bomb Building...

And then after adding the logic, hammer fucked me over and removed my ability to edit. Well, that sucks for me.

Edit: So, I've decided to start anew, with a file for the map, and a file for the map with logic so I don't lose all my progress when I add the payload logic.

The next additions to more vehicles is coming along nicely, the truck cab just needs some little texture tweaks and the trailer needs logos. Also, I added a 2nd cab to spice things up a bit, still to be properly textured of course.

And the train from above is on its way

Logo you say? Freight Gets Delivered for FGD?

I like that one, very clever

Hello, first time posting screenshots of my map.
It's a mvm map set at a logging facilty near a forest. Currently it's mostly made up of dev textures but I wanted to ask for some general tips on how to design the gameplay space. Most of the props and detailing serve gameplay purposes.
Any feedback is appreciated.

robot spawn/"forest entrance"

"trainyard area"

inside of the sawmill

left path to the hatch

right path to the hatch

hatch area/player spawn

These first three pictures look very flat on the ground level, also I'd recommend increasing the map brightness a bit or changing the sun angle, the map overall looks pretty dark.

Any idea how to fix things like this?

 

[Da Spud Lord]

Do you have any errors in your compile log?

You should remake the brush. This is the sort of thing you should should ask about in the #mapping-help channel on the tf2maps Discord though.

Try deleting the wall, then putting it back.

Oh, and does it appear in the editor?

Okay so I've redone the robot spawn area to feature some basic height differences and turned the ground into displacements. I've also changed the lighting of the map to make it brighter and resemble sawmill a lot more. Still it's quite basic and any feedback or ideas are appreciated.

Sweet but I hate how those displacement textures don't align properly

Working on this but I might abandon it, I feel it wont fit too much in the TF2 style.

It has too much detail for something TF2 styled. I'd suggest simplifying the mesh a lot and moving most of the details to the texture/material instead

Depends on the size of the prop. That level of detail would fit tf2 if it is as big as the nucleus reactor prop.

Thats the point, baking that model into the texture of a low poly version.

As you can see, theres a handle on the top, so you can make an idea of the size. I wanted to make a different version of the intel from the asteroid map.

I also thought on model something to attach the prop to the wall, like a slot. I took the idea from the initializer and stabilizer from dino crisis video game.

I would def simplify it to the kind of complexity that RD prop is instead, imagine it had to appear in a cartoon or something, being drawn at a small scale.

So i haven't mapped in a while and thought i'd come back to it. currently it has no name but as you can tell it's going to be a KOTH map.

i finally finished most of the map only thing left is mirroring the map, creating the spawnroom and completing the skybox.


Feedback is appreciated.
