Hello,

I've uninstalled l4d2 demo, but I still see it in my games list and under my games in steam community. I don't want it to be there as it's not a paid game. Please do not promote your games so aggressively.

I'm looking for things that could be found in an office, such as the following:
  • Cups filled with pens and pencils
  • 'To Do' and 'Outgoing' trays (could be multiple skins here)
  • Wire racks filled with manila folders
  • Pen holders with pens, such as you find at a bank
  • Filing cabinets (vertical, lateral, tall and short)
  • Mimeograph machines
  • Alternate desks
  • Bookshelves in various degrees of full
  • Desk fan
  • Desk calendars
  • 'Next window' signs
  • Banker's boxes
  • Clipboards with stacks of paper on them
  • Overlays of various forms and/or documents
  • Typewriters
  • Staplers (Red Swingline optional)
  • Wall maps showing airline/shipping routes & hubs

Anything and everything that could be used to fill out space and fill up the room would be useful. I'd imagine these would be useful for a good deal of other maps as well. ]]> Request Area Stormcaller3801 http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10672 <![CDATA[Ian Boswell's map reviews]]> http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10671&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:14:59 GMT ianboswell's review on some of the maps:

I want to make these walls, floor, and ceiling look nice and rocky, and from what I've seen using a displacement is one of the best ways to do this.

However I have two questions:
1.) Would it be good to use them in such a small area?
2a.) If so, how should I set up the faces so that everything sews together nicely?
2b.) If not, how else could I accomplish this rocky effect?

Just so you know whats going on in the picture: The right path turns left and them makes a U-turn to the right, like a reverse question mark, all while sloping upwards. The path to the left drops down under the first path, opening up into a large room, which exits to a place just under where the first path does. ]]> .fortune http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10670 <![CDATA[I'm not a mind reader, psychic, OR fortuneteller.]]> http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10669&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:22:23 GMT

Taking out the equivalent of brains, to attempt to replicate a human head. Strangely enough though, halloween (and jack-o-lanterns) is generally more often done in america. The US.

I finally figured out that something is going wrong with my team_control_point_master entity, since deleting it fixes all my problems (but renders the CPs useless, and we can't have that).

I'm building my map with six control points, and I'm wondering if that is what's causing the problem, since TF2 seems to have an issue with the point icons at the bottom of the screen not stacking properly. Does anyone know of a workaround for this or anything? I'd really rather not have to delete one of my control points, as it would ruin the layout of the map entirely.

I had this idea for an arena map in my head for a long time. It basically combines an idea I had of a building with a cp in the basement and combines it with a good amount of inspiration from one of the best arena maps yet (lumberyard).

The design idea is a secret underground base in a strategically important canyon, that both teams want to control.

Features:

-Spawns integrated into playable area.
As of now, arena maps usualy have their spawns seperated from the map itself. The only official map that does this a little bit is sawmill (and that only after an update to it). I did this too to a bigger extent in the recent versions of my other arena map (production). It increases the pacing of the map, but leaves staying at your spawn as a bit more viable and less frowned upon tactic (demos camping in spawn is viable, but they do get flamed because people see it as lame)

-Control point with health pack opens after 60 seconds
This is the main idea I got from lumberyard. But contrary to lumberyard, you cannot enter the cp room before the timer. The room itself connects all the rooms inside the building and also contains a medium healthpack, to give additional value to the point.
Ammo is mostly outside, to give it some more value.




I currently have some concerns, mainly the complexity. I don't think the layout is really that complex, but someone might still get lost on his/her first way through it. People also might be able to hide fairly well or not meet each other, but that is solved through the cp itself I think.
And it might be too narrow, especially the cp and the 2 rooms next to it. Heavies camping down there and pyros might be awfully strong. ]]> Maps h3r1n6 http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10664
