Old Map, New Paint

[MateoTheBold!]

Oh wow...that looks really nice. Looks like the double gate has a quicker open/shut I assume?

Wow looks awesome, I can't wait to give this version a try.

IZ HAV LOTS OV GWREEN Y KNOT PINK

I knew it!!!!! Friggin' Kilaaks have been sabotaging my map. See, see.......the low ceilings and squirrelly player clips weren't my fault, it was all Kilaak skullduggery!

Now back to the news....................

The major revision I made to the map. After last Tuesday's playtest, I along with many others felt that the first point was now too easy to cap by the enemy. Could have been other factors such as we didn't have an engineer or something else but, I decided to make a change.

I timed the F1 version and with the tunnel gate open, the attackers had a 5 second advantage using the tunnels versus coming through the arch. So, here is what I did.

1. Using the screenshot provided, I did away with the hole in the floor on the upper level which gave the defenders a way to access the tunnels.

2. Gave the defenders a gate, ( the one to the far left in blue) which only they can access. It's a one way gate, it's access only which explains the "No Entry" sign.

3. At the far end of the tunnel, if you look closely, there is a sign that reads "Gate 1". That gate is the exit point for both attackers and defenders. It is also a one way gate. Once the player exits, he cannot retreat back through that gate. If I timed this correctly, the attackers now use the same amount of time to get from their spawn to that area regardless of what route they take. I'm hoping that with moving the attackers further away from the cap point, it will be easier to defend.

As far as any other changes, I just tweaked some lighting in the spawn areas and I'm still looking into the low ceiling complaints but, honestly, I can't find where I changed them from Warpath 2.

I'll let everyone know when Stevo has the upload.

Stevo sent me a PM, cp_warhammer_f2 is now available for download.

I ran around a bit this afternoon and came up with one question:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Flash/scre ... 6080895658

Should those little angled corner pieces be breakable like in Warpath 2? They make it really easy to get "stuck" when running through the archway if you aren't right in the middle.

If I do another version, maybe they'll finally allow me to call it Warpath V , I'll take those down a notch or two. I have player clips to block a player from getting stuck on the corners but it doesn't seem to work very well.

Okay, I know you all didn't ask for it. I know you all have been playing F2 but, thanks to someone I won't name....Flash..... I made some minor tweaks to the map. As far as a change log goes,

1. Added minor architecture tweaks and removed the angled thingys that Flash as well as me didn't like.

2. Optimized some of the brushwork

Now the question is........Do we want another play test?

If you want to download F3, here you go,

If you want to play it, it's available on TV2 and I think the Events Server.

See the thing about final is... It should be final XP
Yea I'd love for another night of it. Maybe we'll bring it up at customs night a few times.

Eh, the changes made don't make it worthy of another play test. Maybe it will see some attention on TV 2, maybe not. It was nice....very nice to see it used and played in the Warpath Cup. Time to close the books and move onto the next project.

Agreed, whatever little cosmetic flaws there may be left over, they can stay I say.

Now time to redesign wacky races!

Find me the .vmf, and I'll do it.

Honestly, it's good enough that I'd like to see an event with it on TV8. That might be too distruptive but it would be fun to see it with all Warpath regs for a change.
