I got some more screenshots of particularly dark areas.

_final1 was already a bit dark here.

_u10 is even darker.

RED Yard is significantly darker than BLU Yard. _final1 was like this too, but _10 makes RED Yard about as dark as the area near Train, seen in my previous screenshots.

Okay, I figured out how to switch built-in crosshairs using the weapon scripts.

1. Open tf2_misc_dir.vpk in GCFScape.
   
2. Go to root\materials\vgui\crosshairs
   
3. Extract the .vmt files from there.
   
4. Put the .vmt files in materials/vgui/replay/thumbnails, where custom crosshair files would go.
   
5. Indicate the crosshair file in the weapon script .txt:

   "crosshair"
   {
   	"file"		"vgui/replay/thumbnails/crosshairname"
   	"x"			"0"
   	"y"			"0"
   	"width"		"64"
   	"height"	"64"
   }

6. For crosshairname, you can put crosshair1, crosshair2, etc. or default.

I assume there's a more elegant solution, where you can just indicate where the built-in crosshair files are, without needing the .vmt files.
You don't need .vtf files for built in crosshairs, just their .vmt files. For reference, the .vtf files are in tf2_textures_dir.vpk, under root\materials\vgui\crosshairs.

I do use a script/bind. I'm looking for a neater solution. Currently, the wrong crosshair comes up when I run out of ammo, when I'm running Gunboats or Mad Milk, and sometimes when I die.

teamfortress.tv is predominantly 6v6 oriented. If you want to talk about building stuff as an Engineer, I'd recommend checking out the UGC Forum.

Anyone know how to use a built-in crosshair with this switching method? For example, I want to use Quake 3 wings for Scattergun, and use TF2's crosshair6 for the Pistol without using a bind or a crosshair switching script in scout.cfg. Is there any way to do this without installing another .vtf?

You may want to look at the lighting in Alley. On BLU side, the panel above the pallets shows the shadows of players behind it. I think it's fine on RED side. In addition to being unbalanced for the teams, it's unfair for players who have shadows disabled.

Please consider smoothing up some of the gaps in the map. Both the pile of boxes by Last and the little pipe by Second can swallow rockets+other projectiles.

I think the window over the little pipe should either be blocked off or replace the little pipe. If the little pipe is removed, the window could be taller so you don't have to duck to stand on the sill.

I threw together an album with all the eaves and other lips that can catch jumping Soldiers. Most of these do not affect rocket jumps, but I feel that Roamer especially is more fun when I don't have to memorize exactly where I can and cannot pogo off the wall. Again, I think newer MM players would appreciate not having to deal with random protrusions.

Thanks for devoting some time to refining the map. Even if Valve doesn't let you update cp_metalworks, it would be nice to have an _rc8.

You might consider removing or blocking all the overhangs at Mid and in Valley. They often catch catch Soldiers that want to jump off the walls for bombs.

There's a solid lamp on both sides of Mid that protrudes past the clipbrush.

I think the Last Point could have some props or other visual indicators that players can walk up either side of the ramp, especially since newer players will be exposed to Metalworks via MM.

Now, a couple personal gripes that I would like you to consider: the railings at Spawn are solid, which makes them annoying to shoot through.

And finally, the pallets in Alley are not smooth, which makes it a challenge to slide up them. I'll try to post a video soon.

Both Saloon.tf and SweetStakes.tf are down. Is this the result of the gambling lawsuit that was mentioned a few days ago?

Maybe my monitor is too dim, but I find _u10 really dark. It's sometimes difficult to see enemies, especially around Train.

The Demoman is almost invisible to me, except his shadow and feet.

Oh, didn't write this. BigBoneLuvr69 did. I'm just a fan.

Do you have a link to the full-size Stand Tall posters?

To be honest, I'm appalled at the notion of two 5cp maps capping each other's points. Capping is supposed to be between a pl_ map and a cp_ map.

Gully is a loose map that will let almost anyone up her Dropdown. Granary is much tighter. If you want to go up her Dropdown, you need finesse and a bit of luck.

I also marked any group that hasn't done anything in the past 60 days as RIP. Please let me know if I have made any errors.

THEY JUST HAD TO JINX IT.

I just finished watching the Twitch VOD. Thanks rocknroll, deathy, and criticalflaw for the excellent cast! I learned a lot from their insight, and criticalflaw caught most of the important action.
