Updated the server with the latest version of Beerbowl (B4).

Winter theme PL map. I was told people couldn't download the map earlier from the server. I believe I have resolved the issue, but let me know if anyone still has problems.

Egypt style CTF map I would like to try out over the weekend.

Updated the server with the latest version of Great Heights (B3).

I thought the mapper gave up on this map, glad that he didn't. Hopefully, we'll play test the new version this weekend.

[themuddaload]

personally i love beerbowl, one of my favorite maps, im looking forward to trying the updated one =)

[Potka!]

awsome, thanks kap :)

[themuddaload]

yeah, wintertown doesnt download from the server

[Snix]

i would like to try that winter one again, i really liked it.

[Devant]

it was fun, but it is probably a 24 person map because as we were playing it, I noticed people complaining about a FPS drop. I even noticed it with weatheroff and reduced video settings.

[StarYoshi]

The one where it was snowing is a SYSTEM KILLER that bleeds everywhere. I could even feel it on my monster rig :mad: Someone needs to take it to Hammer and scale back the HDR and tighten up a few loose ends. I like snow, but gee wiz.

I have removed pl_wintertown_rc3 from the rotation. I love the winter theme, but overall the map is too wide and open and more importantly, the map doesn't seem to be optimized.

Also removed ctf_thebes_b01. First map to actually be rtv'd. That's how bad that map was.

[Brains]

well thebes would have been fine.........for like a battlefield 1942 map that allowed 64 players and vehicles to fly from end to end in.....that map was a monster

[Kaplan]

With today's update with the custom particle fix, I have added the following maps into the rotation. PLR_Nightfall, which, when we tried out, most thought the map was great and CTF_Haarp_B2, a CTF map that uses the A/D game mode and both were awarded 1st place.

I also added in plr_panic to the rotation, which was awarded 2nd place.

The maps can be found here (http://plrctf.tf2maps.net/).

Most of the contest maps are uploaded on the server, we'll prolly try them out over the weekend.

I have the impression that most don't care for the plr game mode, but Nightfall is a great map, better than Pipeline, IMO, I can't say about the other PLR maps tho.

I'm also hoping the A/D CTF maps will be well received, but I think most will be confused and won't care for them.

[Homfry]

what is an a/d ctf?

I know attack defend capture the flag but that does that mean?

[klossi]

A/D CTF is where blu has to carry the intel to a certain CP and Red has to prevent this.

[Ramanag]

I enjoyed Nightfall when we played it last night, but it'll definitely take some familiarity with that crazy thing to really get going.

This map was known as koth_rbok_ridge_b1. Hopefully, some of the clipping issues have been resolved.

[Scruga]

Have we ever tried this map? I've never tried it and YouMe usually makes nice maps.

[klossi]

yea scruga. i've been playing on it on the server at least 3 times. it's a gravelpit style map but a bit tough on C

We've played it a couple of times. I got a sense that the map had mixed reviews, most likely because it's a KOTH map. Figure we'd give the new version a try, see what people think.

Also updated cp_glacier to the latest version (rc6).

ETA: I increased the map time for ctf_xmas2fort_b3 to 20 minutes from the previous 15.

A/D CTF is where blu has to carry the intel to a certain CP and Red has to prevent this.

I think Team Fortress Classic had this.

I think Team Fortress Classic had this.

Avanti.

Updated the server with the latest version of PLR_panic (B2).

Updated the server with the latest version of ctf_vector (v1).


http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/119849


Added ctf_winter_valley_b2.


The koth version has some optimization issues. I would like to give the ctf version a try.

Updated the server with the latest version of pl_waste (v2).

ETA:

Added ctf_atrophy_b2. Made by the same mapper that created pl_frontier.

[Kaplan]

Added cp_stark_a11 to the current map rotation. I would like more feedback on map. Admins feel free to set the next map to stark during prime time hours for play testing.

CP Stark - TF2Maps.net


It was play tested last night (1/3) unfortunately, I wasn't there. Only information that I have is that it didn't empty the server, which is a good sign :D

We currently have a very limited number of custom 5 CP maps in rotation and I would like to change that.



Updated the server with the latest version of pl_downpour_pass (B1).

[klossi]

nice

[Brains]

you should schedule times to do custom map testing so that people either make an effort to show up or not to play at that time so they don't get stuck with some experimental map that they don't like. this way you can pull off multiple new maps with players who actually want to be there to play test the new maps correctly.

[Jetlag]

Quick question. Where did you get 2Fort engi power from? I can't find any info on it through fpsbanana. Thanks.

[Clone]

Should try some of these.

another 2Fort, Seems to be nicely balanced but turtling looks to be too tough.

[klossi]

it seems to be absolutely impossible to make a good ctf map. every time I play on one it's one big long stall.

[nvncble]

What was that Sawmill (Swamp) theme map that was CP? I remember the user used to be on our forums but I havent seen it come up in rotation in a while? Really miss that map!

It was the one where the middle point had a log over it with health and ammo with the walkways around the walls. The last caps were underneath the original spawns.
