[TF2] PL Great Heights

Well it's out folks Now I actually have time to pack for my upcoming country skip. Already itching at the bit to get back into the level and start working on B3. I hope to have most areas detailed and a more cohesive visual theme throughout its entirety. Kinda wished I put more focus on that at the start but ah well, it plays good and that's the main thing for now.

If anyone's in Australia, it's currently on a dedicated internode server at 150.101.172.77:27015 and on BestGN's rotation at: 202.131.91.90:27040

Currently doing the rounds on numerous forums, I feel like a bit of a pleb doing it 1st posts promoting your own map and all, but ah well.

Cheers guys. Been getting some good feedback from those who've hosted it already, it's taken off quite well so far. The primary aussie server was packed for about 8 hours or so last night, 24/24 with it as the sole map in rotation!

HDR Reduction is in the works Shacky, a few people have commented on this so it's becoming an established quarrel with the level.

It`s on the rotation of one of the servers I play in often

Which server is this? Hard to keep track of who's hosting what, but its fun to pay their forums a visit if they have a website setup.

Yeah it's provided its fair share of laughs too Seeing ragdolls take a dive is also a good one.

How's your map going? Haven't heard much lately.

*edit, redoing this shite!

Killing my Sunday afternoon with some massive reconstruction:

Cheers guys Looking forward to doing some more on it this w/e

Some WIP, I dont think I've achieved the feel I want for this area, feels a bit too narrow - but well, it's an improvement over the previous rendition

Nice handrail suggestion Freak, it should fit pretty well

Looks like you're using several short sprites to light up the (quite long) fluorescent light. It's kinda visible on the screen, but maybe not in action.Else, your work is very good, it lacks some details or some decals/overlays but I think it's what makes the TF2-style (i guess).

I'm a big fan of this picture (the building in the background):

Yeah I am using small sprites - it was a cheap C&P from a cp_dustbowl spawnroom if I remember correctly. I've seen some other sprite uses and beams in other maps so I'll look into that.
