Very glad to see the all didn't actually hinder jumps. The arch will look more in place as I detail 2nd and modify the cliffs a bit- the rest of them are just straight at the moment. Not in the future.

Changes:
Removed the baity roamer spot
Added some central height on mid to try out (kinda looks like shit atm)
Clipping fixes
Numerous displacement fixes
Made the arch clearances wider and taller, modified a wall in lobby to block sightlines
Other stuff I don't remember

Funny you take pictures of that, I removed the ability to do that for b6 when I was optimizing the map.

So the main point of the arch being added was to block a ridiculous sniper sightline from upper lobby to spire.

You could stand pretty much all the way back in that room, completely uncommitted and unspammable, and have a perfect view of the entire capture point on spire.

That's a load of shit.

So, I put an arch in the way to block the view, which blocks the fastest rollout as well. Fixes that I can think of:

1. Make the arch smaller on the left side (move the left side closer to the right) allowing more space for a demoman to fly by so long as it still blocks the view of the sniper
2. Move the arch closer to the building (may mess with soldiers trying to jump from upper left to point)
3. Remove the arch, AKA the glorious return of mashed potato
4. Move the upper lobby door to the left (as if you were pushing to 2nd from last) and alter the rock wall a bit so that sniper sightline just isn't there at all (might also fuck with jumps still)
5. Remove the arch and add a shutter door there.

That's basically what I can think of as fixes. I'll be looking at this. This sight line is definitely more important than a demo rollout at the moment. The demo being a bit slower to mid, albeit not fantastic, isn't as game breaking as a retarded sniper sightline that you can't spam or take care of easily.

If there are no viable ways to roll out because of the arch I can alter/remove the arch and think of something else. That's what my main worry was when I put the arch in.

Glad it works out okay- if you guys had any trouble pushing or defending an area please let me know, I can make some changes now before I finish polishing and a lot of detail is going to be deleted anyways so I need to hear soon if there are any flaws.

I just fixed the announcer on Logjam, I know what the issue is. I can fix that.

The truck being missing... I have no idea why this happens, it seems that a map reload fixes it usually. I'll look into it.

Yeah, all the songs and demos are all "composed" by me. I don't really sit down and go "Hey I'm going to write a song in this key with this whatever" and then write out music, I usually am just screwing around with a guitar and play something cool and then flesh it out.

I'm a a musician as well. If you like rock music you'd probably like my stuff. I'm playing all the instruments, I overdub them one at a time to make a full song.

Meanwhile my sister actually does visual art...

Changes:
Fixed more displacement stuff
Fixed displacement connection in cave to the building on mid
The announcer better fucking say "time has been added" on capture or I'm going to kill someone
Fixed displacements on ramps at mid
unclipped forward spawn doors, made it so you can't shoot through them
added lighting in choke
Fixed some stupid spots you could stand on at 2nd (mesh fence and cliffs)
Added some detail to lobby

Dedoris is an awesome group of guys. I'd play for them myself if I could!

Changes
Clipping fixed on spawn doors
You can't shoot through spawn doors anymore
Detailing from blue side spawns added to red side
Unclipped logs on mid (you can't hide sticks in them don't worry)
added a roof to choke (it should be big enough for jumps still)
Removed sightline from mid to 2nd through choke
Fixed numerous clipping/displacement shit
Probably missed more displacement stuff

NA people don't pug new maps. I've watched ETF2L doublemixes on logjam for about a month now and it's the best feedback I've ever gotten. If we could get occasional pugs from pug.na or something like that for new maps that would be absolutely outstanding. If you want fresh, new, good maps in your rotation you need to help us out a bit.

So your choices are now intermodal, logjam, gravelpit, or keep sunshine in.

If you pick intermodal I will think you're a little strange, it's really not that 6's friendly, and would be basically a 2nd granary in the rotation, except with more flaws.

If you pick logjam I will personally hunt you down. It's not ready for ESEA, it has too much potential to be put in as-is.

You can keep sunshine, or add Gpit back.

Changes:
Changed tape on mid to logs
Sewed displacements; there shouldn't be cracks in cave or floor anymore
Fixed 2nd cap point clipping with roof
Made the fence on the bridge at 2nd larger
Last control point glass opening thingy got taller
added block bullets ramps over the ground at choke so that they should function as ramps again for splash and pogo jumps
Removed the log piles and replaced them with ramps up to the height
added mashed potato memorial
replaced mid with viaduct mid

I thought about removing one entrance to cave, and then making it so that the only entrance on mid was between where the two are right now, but I decided against it because that would make it really really easy to spam both choke and cave from roof and make the only viable flank logroom/banana.

As much as I love to toot my horn about my maps, logjam is not where it could be right now. It plays pretty well, but it's still got a ways to go. In a few versions, it will be a really good map but at the moment it's not quite perfect. I'd love to see it this season, and I know ETF2L and CEVO are giving it a shot, but I also don't want the community to try it out with where it's at and immediately go "shit map I don't want to play it anymore" without realizing that I seriously work on my maps.
