    The Metro series has been my favourite singleplayer game series to date, and now we've got a brand new one coming out. Also seems like it is also going to be loosely based on the book Metro 2035.

    Let's just hope they don't sell ranger hardcore as DLC this time.

    I'm not sure how well I will play as a sniper if the camera keeps flying around the map when I'm scoped.

    Only one prototype, it was so heavy that when it got stuck in mud during testing, it was too heavy to remove, so they left it there to rust.

    Would still, be fucking amazing to see.

    Forgot to follow up on my PC state.

    Replaced all parts that failed, new Power supply, new graphics card (minor downgrade, running with a 2gb card), and new keyboard.

    Also, last pieces of furniture arrived, spent this weekend putting it all together, which are a new desk, bedside table and wardrobe. Quite a nice setup, will get some pictures later.

    Is the train-track created automagically by placing point entities or you have to align props plus setting info_something?

    tracks are props I have to put in seperately.

    Getting the payload to work is... well, a total pain in the ass. Will tell you how it works when I figure it out myself :I

    Finished the blockout after being delayed due to the dead graphics card, rest of the layout is blocked out with some minor adjustments following the editor.

    I've also adjusted one of the chokepoints to be tighter, but there are some side routes, will want to play with those more.

    My To-Do list now will be:

    • Adjust floor height, second half of the map is relatively flat compared to the rest of the map.
    • Finish blockout player-clipping (preventing people from getting onto rooftops, deciding how high people should go, ect)
    • Get the payload and gamemode working
    • Work some more on interiors and sightlines.

    speaking of which,

    When was the last time Valve or a Valve rep actually appeared at E3? My memory is likely dead at 1am, but the last time I remember them showing up was on the Playstation stage for Portal 2

    I rammed it into my case with so much force that I broke the power supply and graphics card.

    I need a new case now too.

    that got the pc running again.

    so as a final damage report

    • broken power supply
    • broken GPU
    • also my keyboard broke

    at least i can cheaply replace my keyboard, and that I also had a backup power supply.

    just got to worry about the gpu replacement, good excuse to upgrade though!

    (also, using the on screen keyboard is a nightmare)

    Power supply did die as well, lucky for me I had a spare, I sometimes get it to boot only to see a very broken image on the monitor. Although now it struggles to boot at all, can hear it attempt to and fail just before my fans start to spin like a jet engine.

    May look at getting a full replacement on credit, looking at my options still.

    Almost there, new carpet got fitted and I've moved my furniture back in, had to put a couple back together but it was surprisingly easy. Why do people complain about it so much? :3

    Anyway, just waiting on my new bed, due to get it in tomorrow.

    Back to work with this stuff, took a bit too much time off from working on it, few things were distracting.

    But I remember @Radu suggesting that the map would've not been satisfying to look at in fullbright, so this time there is lighting. And yeah, he was right about lighting, I've also made some changes, added a slight diversion in the first stretch and blocked off one of the larger sightlines. Will likely play more with rebuilding the first stage again, but for now I should get the rest of the layout greyboxed first.

    Best thing about TF2 mapping is that you don't have to noclip to get around fast, just have some fun rocket jumping instead.
