please replace my fetus of a map

Was watching the stream and talking to highfive a bit about it. Someone in that game suggested that parts of the roofs in lobby be removed to open up bombing options. He said the beggest problem was pushing out of lobby as it was very cramped.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll get looking into what I can do with lobby and put out another update when I get the feedback from etf2l. :D

First, thank you so much to ozFortess, ETF2L and various pug groups for playing this map, I got so much feedback and got to watch lots of matches and it has given me tons to work with!

I've made a few changes based on what you've said and what I've seen and hopefully they improve the way the map plays.

Lobby exists the way it does to allow fighting to move forward, but it was tight and not so fun to play in, so I've raised the ceilings and widened the window to make it less claustrophobic and help promote options for forward holds.

A lot of people found the lower point area kind of unsafe to be on and transitioning from there to the safer high ground in house was pretty long-winded, so I've made some changes to some of the quicker routes up to make them easier.

I've also made various visual tweaks and quality-of-life improvements in various spots such as adding some high ground to a couple flat areas, simplifying the trash in lobby, and making the rafters over point more obviously solid.

Less claustrophobic lobby, simplified trash
Improved routes to house, solid rafters

Changelog:
Lobby
- Raised ceiling, simplified walkways
- Simplified and moved trash
- Widened window
- Various detailing tweaks

Mid

The one he just posted works fine for me

Sorry, TF2Maps was having issues today, it should work again now.

Hey guys, long time no update.

I'm working on rc1 at the moment, hoping to get that out sometime soon. In the mean time, check out the current version in MapChamp on Sunday, I'd love to see how the updates from etf2l/ozfortress play out.

(and if you like it, do spread the word)

Fuck I love this map. I wish I lived next to a bagel reservoir.

I really love how the map looks. I am looking forward to seeing it played in the TFTV map cup!

when i played this in 4s a few months ago i realised this would be a decent 6s map, glad to see people like it so much since we really need more koth

Hey anyone know how to request a thread name change? I don't really need the "(name pending)" part since, at this point, I'm pretty set on the name.

From my experience with logjam someone will usually just ninja edit for you when you make such a declaration.

good work

This map is actually fucking good, we just played it at FBTF Cup and it's probably the best koth made since product. Looking forward to see this added to the game.

RC2 Update
Download: koth_bagel_rc2

Hey! It's been really exciting watching Bagel in the New Map Cup and hearing general reactions to it. I was alerted to some issues, and noticed some visibility problems on streams, so I decided to polish the map a little more.

Please vote on the workshop if you haven't yet!

Changelog:
- Boosted lighting for visibility (comparison)
- Fixed misc clipping issues
- Added new crate in patio area to fix a dumb sightline and generally improve options in that area

(thx carn for screens)

I love the new lighting and the map looks awesome as always. Really hope this has a place somewhere in next season's rotation.
