Hi, I'm Roninmodern.

[roninmodern]

I like long walks on the beach, pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain...

Oops, wrong group...hehe.

I'm currently working on my first TF2 map, cp_ghosttown, a wild-west themed strip of town with buildings on both sides.

[timberghost_paintball]

That sounds cool... and welcome

[DJive]

Heh, welcome bud =)

Make sure to stop by steam chat group and also check out the tutorial section.

Do you have any screen shots yet? would love to see.

Do you have any screen shots yet? would love to see.

I can get some tonight. It's still in orange textures, and only 2 buildings finished.

I've revised it and started from scratch a ton of times until I'd read enough to think I knew enough to properly start.

I can, however, post some textured screens of some older WIP incarnations.

...Photobucket is down, I'll post those tonight, too.

[roninmodern]

Ok, the first incarnation: really just a learning phase. No complex geometry, I only had a basic idea of the layout.

The second incarnation: Had a better idea of what I was doing, but no real standardization was going on. Geometry is starting to become much more complex.

I'm working on the final incarnation of this map, which I hope to at least get to a playable beta. These previous two were never playable.

I'll post updates to that in the WIP section, though.

[Narkissus]

Reminds me of that cs map, westwood or something, I dont remember the name exactly...

Anyways.. Is this CTF?

[roninmodern]

No, it's going to be CP, but it could easily be converted to ctf. I was considering releasing it for both once it's done.

[timberghost_paintball]

the hotspots off those lights are intense! :ohmy: I'd suggest scaling them back a bit. shadows are sometimes good too and if having enough lighting is you goal, create more lights that are less bright. right now they are washing out the world textures.

[roninmodern]

I'm having issues finding the right values for lights. :(
