The presence of a narrative really elevates this. I think there are ways you can even further explain the circumstances such as a broken tread on the green tank or rubble in front of it (...and that's why it has stopped and is "static" in the level).

Given that WW2 is lively and boom and explodey, this is stuff people should leverage in their levels.

Detailing really do make a difference:

after long time here some wip screenshots of westwalls last update

@modtools

Create for each gamemode a .vmt file (westwall_offensive_0.vmt, westwall_liberation_0.vmt, etc...)

With;

"UnlitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "vgui/loading_screens/westwall_offensive_0" "$vertexcolor" 1 "$vertexalpha" 1 "$ignorez" 1 "$no_fullbright" "1" "$nolod" "1" }

- Export with GCFScape a stock loadingscreen - Open in Photoshop. - Drag your image over the stock one. - Save as TGA and make a VTF named; westwall_offensive_0 - Place everything in materials/vgui/loading_screens.

That worked for me

yeh its working localy but not if you pack it with vide for workshop

Thanks a lot man!

I had to take care of some business, but now I'm back with fresh ideas. I improved the flow of this area a bit. Added more cover and paths. Yes, you can access the first floor in the destroyed building. You can also climb up there via the broken wall parts. I'll refine them more during the art pass.

@Radu Looking really tight. I really dig the destroyed buildings with several floors. Great job!

Here are two WIP screens of Heidel in its current state. A lot of cover have been added for balancing purposes and fleshing out the level.

Figuring out the woodwork:

here some screenshots of my recent changes

i added much more detail, made a new lightbuild and added more cover and clearer walkways

also there are more entrances to some of the keyareas

the displacement got a whole redesign on some locations

and as you see the navmesh for the bots works properly now

##spoiler should be here

@modtools At least spoiler tag those screenshots. No need to spam so many.
