[WIP]cp_avantiville

[TheCarpe]

I don't even recognize it anymore! This is really coming along great, Beeron! Can't wait to try it out...

*hint hint*

[quote="Lets Swill";p="61641"]Whats the current progress on the updated map btw (percent complete wise)[/quote]

Its got a long ways to go... Im about 25% done with the "world" then I have to redo all the gameplay timers and scoring entities like add sudden death (and add - add time when someone caps etc) then it needs to be optimized... then play tested... then maybe it can be titled as a release candidate.


Im taking my time to create something we can be proud of.... I could have just retextured everything. I'd be done with it by now, but I want it to be one of the better customs out. It'll prolly be the biggest custom out. With all my nonTF2 textures and the size of the map will make it a big file to DL. But Im willing to sacrifice file size for quality.... seeing as how there's alreayd lots of good smaller maps.

I could upload what I have done now just so you can run around and check it out if you want....

Its missing lots things tho, like the main gates, there arent any red spawn points.... caps are gone etc. But it looks pretty!

That's really pretty, B!

Can't wait to play it.

Thank you Deafy

Looks nice btw, the grass is key to making it feel like avantiville

You have some competition, however your avantiville is much further along in progress than the other one here:

So Ive come up some good concepts for the rest of avantiville. Ill explain things in the hopes that I get some solid feed back on conceptual ideas in this initial construction stage...

FYI:
- Will be sequential CTF like the old avanti
- Capping a flag will add time to clock
- entire map opened up to accomodate TF2's bigger player models and the need for more room for fire fights
- Complete environment with 3d skybox, weather, sounds, and dynamic lighting


CP1:

Will be a water pump station (see screenshots). The well outside will be more like a water fountain with an entrance into CP1 through a tunnel leading into the water underneath the main floor. The roof of CP1 where the intel cap point will be, is accessible only by elevator from inside, or rocket/sticky jump.

Between CP1 and CP2

This will be a dirt road that's built up on top of the embankment, keeping true to the avanti layout, it will be raised, and have a guard shacks on either side and a fence running the length of the road.


CP2


The location and layout will remain essentially the same.

Between 2 and 3

The area where there used to be arches and real tight choke points will become a mountain with tunnel catacombs ala hydro. The layout and direction of game flow will remain. This section will be the back side of the mountain as it fades into an industrial setting... think trainyard textures and props from well.


CP3


I have a few viable options for this area:

- Loading dock for a warehouse

- corporate lunch room/patio

CP4

Will be a big warehouse/train depot with elevators and balconies... breakable wall will still be a part of gameplay.


So please, if you have any ideas, or cool (but simple) gameplay tweaks PLEASE speak up

I enjoyed the map prior to any changes.

Whatever you do to enhance the map I'm sure will be great. Avanti is the only map some of us played here for sometime, as you know you were there. So just stay as true to the original as you can while making game play more enjoyable.

I know this wasn't much help but thanks for this l3eer it is appriciated.

:) It's no competition

It's the first time I ever map so obviously I know it's not gonna be perfect, and I progress very slowly as I'm in no hurry.

In the end, I'll play whichever avanti is the best, and without any hard feelings :D

tbh I couldn't look at the latest avantiville version yet.. it's been a week or two since I even played TF2 at all.
Great progress from the screenshots tho

[l3eeron]

powpow!

Welcome to the forums!

My version will the blow the socks off the other guys' The other is just a port (like Warpath) in other words, it's not what us mappers call "sourcified" with all the great new things the source engine can do. Dont get me wrong, avanti doesnt need all the bells and whistles to be a good map.
