TF2: CP Map (but not named yet)

Hey there,

the last few months, I've been working on some kind of remake of a TFC map called "flagrun".

So basically, only the major layout is the same.. as the old TFC maps are nothing more than a lot of blocks.

Perhaps someone will recognize some structures, but the architecture and details all around have changed, though. I know that there are missing some details, the upper parts of the rocks and the 3D-Sky, but that's why it's still work in progress.

This map has 3 control points and 2 spawn rooms for each team (no association of spawn rooms to capture points). No custom content 'til now.

Take a look..

The two base points (former capture areas for the 5 flags):

..and some of RED's:

and - of course - the central control point:

Well, please let me have some comments and critic.. just tell me everything

For those of you, who want to take a run inside: You can download a beta version here. But note, that it is still work in progress (as the name is).

Perhaps, you can meet some guys playing it at: spezi-clan.de:27075 - but don't expect too many players

If someone has an idea for a name, please tell me

Thanks!

LeJean

I am not at the spezi clan, but I know the two guys for some time now

(You're asking because you have a HLPortal.de link in your signature yourself, right?)

What would you propose to do with that rounded stuff - simple 90-degrees-corners look too bad.. perhaps I could add in some more angular architecture. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Hey, thanks a lot!

In the last few days, I did some changes:

- changed lighting, shadowing, a little fog

- added 3d-skybox

- fixed some small clipping problems

- fixed doors and cubemaps

take a look at the overview:

Well.. and for now, I chose the name "fragrun" - because the original map by valve was called "flagrun", but there is no flag in my version

(Still searching for the perfect name..)

Even the download has changed: http://jean.cocktail-db.net/tf2/cp_fragrun.bsp.bz2

Cheers, Jean

Edit: Deathy == DrDeath? Hey!

Aye okay. Sorry I didn't remember you

Thanks for your comment! ... and eh - should I post the map at mapping-tutorials, too?

You're right - it still is empty. There's missing a bunch of detail stuff.

For example the wood structures on RED's side should get some trims and some more irregularity...

I'm happy you like it so far

Still working on that detail thing and I'll keep you up to date!

Hey guys,

here's a new version of cp_fragrun. I had to do some minor changes - the main architecture has not changed at all.

changes:

- changed interiors and lights of spawnrooms

- red's cave entrance edited to fit the setting

- some displacement work

- fixed lighting issues of some models

- new 3d-sky

- added details

here are some new pictures:

So replace your old version of this map with the new one:

Is there anyone who is admin of a TF2 server? I'd like to test the map with some more guys playing - so it would be great if someone of you could give it a try. And don't forget to tell me about the ip

Hi,

after a long time of.. erm.. doing kind of nothing, I went on bringing the map to a release. It still is not finished, but I've changed some parts.. In the current state, playtests are very important (perhaps it's already a bit too late for them..).

For everyone who likes to download the newest version: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/fragrun (sorry for not renaming.. please replace the old version)

Those of you, who would like to take part in upcoming playtests - feel free to join the group. I will announce the next playtests using the event-function of steam's group management. I'm still searching for test servers.. just btw

I hope to see some of you on the map soon,

Jean
