TF2: CP Map (but not named yet)

[LeJean]

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):

Some parts of BLU's area:

..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

the wooden parts shouldn't be that round. apart from that I wonder if you are at the spezi clan?

[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.

Oh man, I loved that map in TFC. Good to see a MapCore-quality remake in the works.

Good to see a MapCore-quality remake in the works.

Yes indeed!

Btw, if it's a remake, and as far as i can see, a very good remake, why not adopt the very same original name, flagrun!?

[Mr. Happy]

Flaaaagrun!

Your certainly doing it justice, keep up the good work

The ground/floor in the final cp rooms looks a bit odd at that distance. Blue one looks like you haven't put any time on it in though, so I guess that's just the nature of a wip.

I hope your fiddling around with entities so you can make a version with the same gameplay as the original..maybe you'll make an FF version that follows the original gameplay if it's not possible in TF2? <_<

Hey LeJean, didn't know you're around here too.

The map looks good so far... keep up the good work.

[Psy]

I love the architect.

[Sindwiller]

I love the architect.

o_O

Looks solid man Keep it up!

[LeJean]

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:

The referenced shots follow up:

(Some of them are similar to the pictures above, so I'll just link them)

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!

[Deathy]

Nope, Deathy from Mapping-Tutorials... ( you posted Down-There there)

I see you intensified the lighting... looks better now.

[LeJean]

Aye okay. Sorry I didn't remember you

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

[Freak]

It looks a bit empty anyway, i didn´t play the old flagrun but i really look forward to play this one good job

[Deathy]

should I post the map at mapping-tutorials, too?

Yea, why not... I think you would be the first who pimped a tf2 map there. poor m-t ;P

The wood could be standing up, that way it would be technically possible to make a round corner out of wood.

But perhaps you should make it stick out and add some beams

(talking about this location http://jean.cocktail-db.net/tf2/tf_wip_07.jpg)

In TF2's official maps the wood is always 90 degrees corners and they got away with it :-)
