[WIP]avantiville
I enjoy the engie nest area... my concerns for it are
1. is it too close to red's spawn? maybe it should be somehow located on the far side of the point? but then again there are some other nooks there too.
2. the clipping that room is wonky. not enough space to move around. I don't know if it just needs some vertex work to angle the clipping or what it is necessarily

Re: [WIP]avantiville
Just thought I'd point out some odd clipping issues that you may or may not already be aware of. Not sure if my screenshots do it justice, but at least they'll show you the area I'm talking about, and you can check it out for yourself.
Vertical maneuverability classes can reach a couple of invisible platforms in this particular area.
I know nothing about how mapping works, but it's like the clipping for the wall there comes out a tad too far for where the wall actually is. When you stand down on the ground in that area, it's like there's an invisible wall in front of the wall, making the area more cramped than it looks.
I rule at explaining.

If anyone is interested in seeing how the map is doing out there in the real world:
http://www.tf2stats.net/map_info/ctf_avantiville_b32/
I think it's doing well considering I have saturated the "market" with tons of releases, and the fact that I'm not really going out there and promoting the map etc. It's made it's way to other servers and feedback I'm getting is good!

Gratz l3eery, it gets better every time I play it.
I have a butt and you do too. Let's be friends.

I remember once upon a time, helping out poor Stoney who could not figure out how to spawn an MG.
Now look at ya! You're global man!

Re: [WIP]avantiville
We found an interesting bug the other night that allows someone to cap the second point first. To reproduce it, someone needs to take the flag to point 2 while a defense player is standing on it. As soon as the point is clear of defense players, it can be capped before the first point. You still have to cap it again to open the next area, however.
This might also be the cause of the defense spawn moving back prematurely, but I'm just guessing about that.

If you're going to be taking a peek at it again, I've experienced a bizare glitch on the first point a couple times where the enemy can cap it through the floor. They just jump up against the ceiling right below the point, and it seizes the point no matter what kind of defense is stationed up above.
It's a great map, love playing it. Thanks for all your work on it!

Re:
I'm taking suggestions, now that we've had tons of playtime on it. Every time I play, it seems like CP3 is almost impossible. For me, usually as a medic, there's no safe place to build an uber. I have always thought there should be a one way gate between 2 and 3. What do you guys think? Might make it too easy for blue?
One thing I can do is get rid of the ammo around CP3, to hinder red a little bit.
Also wonder if there should a vent like in turbine to get into CP4. It would connect from the "new" room on the side of CP4, as well as from the tunnel by CP4.
Thoughts?

not sure what is going on, but I rebuilt the triggers in that area in the hopes that it fixes it.

Unless that covers the walkways then I don't have a clue

Re: [WIP]avantiville
Couple things I noticed yesterday-- there's a non-clipped little gap behind cover at the first point behind one of the diagonal girders (which I recommend are modified to not be diagonal or removed), furthest from the ramp up to the point.
Also, the truck at the BLU spawn is of the non-modified obnoxiously shiny variety, and also is flying.

Do you have a problem with shiny flying trucks? I think they're pretty sweet.

Re: [WIP]avantiville
Well, sir, shiny flying trucks gave me a real headache back when I was still working on Camping Trip. So yeah, yeah I do. To elaborate, this was when I learned about the env_tonemap_controller entity, which, among other things, allows you do reduce the exposure effects with HDR. The BLU truck is by default 100% reflective, so combine that with too much bloom and you get a sun shaped like a truck.
