Report RSS 5 Capture Point GravePit Progress Report!

Posted by on

My first actual project that I'll be attempting to make. It is very difficult to take everything from A+B and mirror it for another D+E points. I need to also edit the centre point to be very different from what it is now, but keeping the theme of TF2. I have a few ideas on what I'd be doing. This isn't going to take THAT long to do, But I will be doing this over the weekend a long side some other business I have going.

I'll post a picture and/or video of the result. It will be a picture if the map isn't playable as in able to walk around although I'm fairly certain it is right now!
I need to compile it and then test it out. This project is mostly for the TF2 community, I'm going to try and make a dream of some of the members come true. Though this is a pretty low-key thing.

Enjoy looking at the screenshots of the map in progress. I'd say I have reached 15% completed. Remodelling the centre point is going to be a massive part of the percentage. My main idea of this is to create a ditch instead of a tower, though the main thing about gravelpit is the tower itself... I'm not sure whether this would stay or not, I'll test them both out if I have time but it is most likely that the tower will be removed.

With regards to spawn points I have decided keeping the original spawn areas but adding another one in the centre when it is captured. This is extremely important. Both the caputre points originally owned by RED or BLU are still just as easily accessed. But I feel as though you will need a new tunnel to connect A+B (and mirrored in D+E) to make defending both points easier and re-capturing easier. Where it will be? I have no idea as this time.

My to-do list:

Place medkits in the centre. - DONE
Finish making the skybox surround the level with no gaps to the void.Finish editing the floor so there are no stupid ledges , This will be done by putting barriers around and making player clips around ALL edges.
Move both towers so they join together as 1 big tower. - DONE
Remove the top of the hut to create a walkway which will be the new centre CP.
Change the entire left side of the map to be the BLU teams areas.Find a way to make both control points blocked until centre is captured.
Create a centre spawn location for both RED and BLU.
Wake up at a reasonable hour and start this in the morning. Must include either cereal or toast. (If toast it needs to be buttered.) - FAILED.
