I think some vantage points give too much of an advantage: http://imgur.com/a/Lb8L1

Are you running a special config?

When you uninstalled; were there any residue files leftover in /tf/custom ?

Have you tried one of the explosion mods?

It could be that I am used to the original, and am having a hard time adjusting. But the contrast between the trees in the background and the log at second makes my eyes hurt. My brain is trying to figure out what is causing this area to be so much darker than the background.

Also, it's kinda weird to me how under the point is brighter than the surface of it. Or that the lantern below is brighter than the spotlight.

I used mat_fullbright 2 to look at the lighting only.

I have been working on a pack of single-player medic training maps that I would like to share.

tr_medic_agility is an obstacle course testing the player’s movement and situational awareness. The map features 16 stages of varying difficulty. Soldiers on the sidelines gauge the medic’s reaction time and spam avoidance.

tr_medic_spawn is a beginner map for new medics, or a warm-up routine for seasoned players. The goal is to train the player to tag all their teammates with overheals during the rollout phase. A few seconds after the round begins the map tests if you have sufficiently healed everyone, then rinse and repeat. The map features Valve’s NextBots for dynamic pathing. Included config file can be used to adjust difficulty.

tr_medic_xbow can be used by the player to train their aim with the Crusader’s Crossbow. There are two main areas in this map. The movement prediction arena offers an open playground for players to practice leading shots from various heights and angles. Bots stream in both straight and pseudo-random pathings. In the background an eternal battle is played out that can be influenced with some skilled long distance shots.

The airshot practice area launches a bot into the air for the medic to catch with an arrow. It differs from such maps like tr_walkway in that the trajectory the bot is launched rotates around the z-axis. A player can practice away and towards shots. Additionally, the bot can be adjusted for how high and how far the bot travels. Settings exist to randomize these values and for presets of bot apex ranges. By default the bot will respawn when touching the ground. This can be disabled and then a timer will control when the bot spawns. This timer can be set to be really low so that the player only has a few seconds to land an airshot, or really high for the player to aim at a randomized ground shot. Additional controls give the bot more health, and fake air-strafing.

The map pack also includes two concept maps; tr_medic_healing, and tr_medic_dodgeball. These maps are alpha quality and only exist as a demonstration. tr_medic_healing has bots running around in a circle. The medic must juggle the healing as the bots take damage as they turn. Additionally the bots take extra damage if the player stands too close to the bots. This is to simulate the desire of the medic to not stand too close to the patient, and avoid splash damage. Finally, the further the medic is from the center of the map, the more damage the bots will take, thus the harder the challenge.

tr_medic_dodgeball is a little mini-game where the ball must remain in the center of the map for the capture point to be unlocked. The antagonist being a continuous surf of rockets.
