I definitely don't have the $$$ at the moment (yay college) to buy a ticket, so I guess I can reserve one and hope it lasts until the 10th when I get more $$$.

So an alpha 4 did come out for this, but it was right before a PUG and I didn't make a release for it. We came up with a metric fuck ton of changes for it, so there's no sense in releasing or putting screens up anyways...

Alpha 5 to be coming soon... it's a lot of work.

In Portland? Neat...

I'll be back home in Seattle over the summer, so I'm thinkin' about this.

Thanks for the explanation. The one that is a displacement was a relic from before I put a door sill on that shutter, so I could blend the grass texture to the concrete texture. Now I don't need it so I can fix that pretty easily. Thanks.

ALSO-

Thintri (love that guy always) made soap DM spawns if any of you nerds ever host my map.

Incoming RC2!

There's been a whole page of tiny little changes done. Fixed all of the stupid props touching stuff that was mentioned before, added sills under some doors, blocklighted shutters, added lights inside of the shutters so they don't look weird when open with the light contrast, worked on indoor lighting more, fixed up some clipping stuff, fixed the wall glitch, fixed some small displacement issues, worked on the 3d skybox, etc... Only one real change that people will probably notice.

The only thing I can't seem to figure out (maybe one of you other lovely mappers can give me a hand) is this.

Those two concrete textures look exactly the same in hammer. The darker one is a displacement, the lighter one is just a brush. I don't know why they aren't lighting up the same. If anyone can shed any light on this (lol) I'd appreciate it.

Dedoris pooped on my team today

Go win low/mid open or whatever the hell we are Yurwill

As someone in engineering school: Work is going to be more fun. We work hard and have no women here...

Glad to hear I don't have to rearrange a decent amount of map geometry. This is the kind of stuff I like to hear in alpha, not rc1. But nevertheless, needs to be fixed. Added to change list.

I hope you like your new title, Ben...

Maybe I should just throw my maps at Phi because he details like a mofo.

Shit clipping into walls isn't a huge deal, but if it bugs you guys I can fix it. Lol. There's a couple props on badlands and granary that clip into stuff. Not as many, but a few.

Doors and handles? There's only so many door props. Lol. I'll modify them a bit.

Floating stuff and stuff you get stuck on IS a problem. Point out that as much as you can.

Labeling 2/3 doors? I labeled the shutters... come on, Ben! haha.

Thanks so much for the feedback guys. I'll run this sucker through a fine tooth comb when I get the chance this week and throw out rc1a soon.

INNOVATION HAS A PRICE MY FRIEND

EVERYTHING IS THE FLOOR AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER

So after not getting much feedback on cp_uintah and cp_intermodel, I've decided to work on a past project.

cp_tubular_peril is a concept map that should really refresh the way 6's is played. It's completely different and will be a lot more fun to play than such silly 5cp maps like Process or Badlands. It's a big deal. Alpha one is almost perfection to start, so I don't know if I'll make any more versions. Probably just release it.

So, no download yet (the world isn't ready) or screens, but this video should give you the gist of the map.

Keep the anal shit coming. This is the stuff that I don't see and does not get mentioned in PUGs, and it won't get fixed unless someone comes up.

It's how I finally added tracks to the map, lol. "the trains are floating on nothing... wat"

Also with that, you'll notice it's a pipe, there's pipes in the ceiling missing a piece, a bucket, and a welding machine... hmmmmm, maybe I planned that? Haha.

INTERMODEL_RC1 IS HERE! GO GET IT!

Changes: Made some detail changes with geometry lining up.
Made some fixes with floating props.
Added a ramp on the train at last.
Fixed some places where stickies floated.
Changed the skybox.
Added tracks on mid (because it took this long for some motherfucker to notice that there were no tracks under the trains... lols
Other small changes.

What's left: Final balancing (spawn times, cap times), some more building details, 3d skybox details, and a bit more work on the outside lighting.

Now I need some cute people to make me some rollout videos because how do I do anything that isn't demoman

Our Demo is Actually White

Played it for 4s and going to be playing it for 6's.

This is how this map goes:
Take control point and live: Win.
Don't take control point and die: Lose.

You cannot push out from any of the doors to mid. You get screwed six ways from sunday out of every single door. If those connectors were to be reworked it could be interesting, but it's not possible at the moment.
