CTF Camping Trip [Final]

[Cpt. Winky]

shhhhhhhh Gaurdian!!!

yeah, actually chilling on the fence as a sniper is REALLY cheap

[quote="Guardian";p="180101"]No no no not those barrels:

These ones.

You can use a teleporter entrance and those 2 barrels to jump over the fence as any class.[/quote]

Oh, I see now! And thank you for reminding me Cpt. Winky, that was a problem I was going to fix but kept forgetting about it.

[Ian_Suffix]

Well, I managed to get all these problems fixed (and a couple more) before Tuesday afternoon!

Alright Ian, I think the thing we need to concentrate on is side routes. In a 9v9 setting this seems to play well but the pub setting could use some work.

The gameplay so far is solid, however it's extremely linear and ambush classes (mainy spy and pyro) have little alternate routes.

-Opening up the side cannel pipe thingy would open up a good side route for them without splitting up members of the pack.

-There needs to be some sort of alternate route into the intel room. Maybe another vent or something? You could make it so you drop down making it 1-way.

-The upstairs area is quite a handy point to move out of, however it's extremely easy to miss it. There needs to be some sort of sign that points you towards upstairs labeled "battlements" which points you to turn around and go upstairs right next to the spawn door.

I agree the map is way too linear now. Scouts, spies and pyros need a way around because now snipers have a huge long field to look down with almost no chance of being snuck up on, plus it's just a killing field from the house sides to the bridge - making people defend both sides more honestly would open that up a bit.

Either opening the pipes or turning the spawn entrance to the house front instead of the side (back would be the part facing the bridge) and giving classes a way to climb over the fence to the spawn side would be a start. As a matter of fact, I'd consider both.

One time when I exited the vents by the sewers, I got launched all the way to the fence - not sure why that was (I may have jumped at just the right time - I didn't take damage so it wasn't stickies or rockets). The other time I popped out normally.

Are you ready? For BETA EIGHT?!



While trapped at home, I discovered that my family's computer had recently been replaced with something decent. While under the premise that my brother was using my profile (which he often was), I secretly devised a NEW ONE-WAY ROUTE to alleviate the pain of having a more linear map. Note that this was after I recieved the order to modify the Meleecenter...

The new route is actually slower than taking the stairs. It may be safer, I'm not sure. But one thing is for sure: it looks really, really cool. In addition to the new route, I've made several visual/clipping adjustments to improve the map. Minor problems that need to be fixed: improve vent looks, RED bg elevator light, stair pipes, decrease mesh HP again, not enough ripples, fence poles not reaching ground, stair-clipping in new route

[Guardian]

Awesome.

Looking forward to seeing it.

[Ian_Suffix]

Erm... Seeing it? I did upload it, if that's what you mean.

[Guardian]

I was at work >.>

[Ian_Suffix]

Ah, haha. Back when I had a job at Student Computing Services, I could go as far as test out a map after compiling! I'm really curious to hear what people think about the new route, though...!

[Guardian]

It's looks pretty cool actually if there's one complait I would make is that the entrance to the base is too loud.

Spies will not be happy.

[Ian_Suffix]

Heh, it's intentionally loud. That's what you get for using a one-way automatic entrance to the intel room. However, I have yet to figure out just how loud it is. If it carries out to people above ground, then it's too loud.

[Guardian]

HUZZAH

Just got word from Silver, b8 is added to TV2. Finally we can play camping trip all the time.

[Ian_Suffix]

YES

WAIT

That probably doesn't mean it's in the rotation, does it? I would hate to sit around on TV2 for ages just to realize it needs to be voted in.

[SilverOne]

Its not in the rotation. Yet.
