cp_vulcano [wip name]

[Snipergen]

Hi TF2 lovers, im pleased to announce you that a mate and I are working on a TF2 map. I made some counterstrike source maps that people enjoyed. I have an eye for detail, i draw my maps first, think about them, playtest them etc etc.

I make my own textures.... and models :)
Now, im not showing screenshots yet since we just started. Map will be like gravelpit 3cps, teams have to capture a and b before moving to c.

Estimated build time: 2 weeks. Even we know that is not realistic but we are going to try and finish this.

We are aiming for the best custom TF2 map build

Ill keep you up to date. Ty for reading. Spread the word.

Sounds good. Is it going to have a volcano in it? :)
Like some super secret underground volcano base from Auston Powers? ("Welcome to my Underground Lair")

[Snipergen]

you hit it right there. thats the theme. Blue is building their secret base and red was mining when they hit eachother. red has all the cp's but blue wants it back and more.

the second cp is in the middle of a little lake and in the background im going to model and animate a huge watermill. If this is working out like i had in mind..... <3 :p tomorrow screenshot i promise

[spaceweasels]

Sounds interesting. I can imagine some dramatic lighting from the molten magma below. Looking forwards to updates.

screenshot time! looked at gravelpit spawn a bit to get the style "in the fingers", will be changed later of course, dont want people to say OY THATS GRAVELPIT :D

looks good. Where is the volcano? :D

[Snipergen]

maybe this weekend lol :p
btw i now see the lights above the resupply cabinets are too strong :(

[Scoobingsthe2nd]

I like it! it looks really good!

Have you thought about doing the map at night time? That would make a really dramatic contrast between the volcano and the night sky! You could also do a lot of REALLY fun lighting things with lava.

This sounds like a lot of fun, Good luck! :D

[Snipergen]

well i dont want the map to be all about the vulcano, it has a vulcano and a blue base in it but the map would be like gravelpit with a vulcano in the background on cp A, and on B a huge watermill with rotating parts to make it look interesting, but also, in the background. So the vulcano is just a detail

[ThatGuy]

It would be cool if the last cap point dealt with a volcano, being on the top or inside of one..

[TheBladeRoden]

Yeah if like both bases were on either side of the volcano, then the middle cap was inside the crater, and they'd have to go in and duke it out all Mustafar-like.

With lava on both sides! and Sharks with fricken Laser beams on their heads!

[Snipergen]

i could model and animate that! actually, i like the idea without the lasers :p gonna think about it... should watch the bsp size too tbh ^^
meh tomorrow some new screens i promise but no vulcano yet guys :(
i want to do the watermill first!

[Dox]

we will be anxiously awaiting the lava sharks.

[Snipergen]

ok i decided to actually do the sharks :D gonna keep them lowpoly and the only thing they do is just swim around a bit and do hap hap with their jaws :p but hey its a nice detail.

but thats for the last fases. i did some good progress today gonna show it tomorrow :p (jeez i always say that but im pretty lazy hehe )

[Dox]

ok i decided to actually do the sharks :D

[Scoobingsthe2nd]

It's lookin good :D. What's gonna be behind the huge shack? Lazors?

[vartaxe]

nice map!:thumbup:

[S.E.A.L.#555]

Some of the architecture looks kinda nice.

I have a 90% finished CSS map set inside a volcano (James Bond theme) which I was thinking of converting over to TF2. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about it again :)

[Snipergen]

seal you cn do that man because i only have like 10% of the map in the vulcano and im even thinking about changing the name because its not about the vulcano. I should post updates about the map but meh i didnt do a lot latest days
