PL clifftop

Here goes nothing...

This is my entry into the dynamic payload competition, titled clifftop. The map is set in a mountainous, decidous forest and features a steep uphill battle for blue to push their cart of the top of the cliff into the missile silo positioned beneath.

The map has two elevators, one under the first point and one under the third point. The run up to each point has one rollback zone. There are also forward spawns for both Red and Blue.

Full changelog.

Yellow....


... and looks interesting. Glad we got your elevators workin'

The area shown in the 4th screenshot looks fun to play on.

Mmm...Yellow...

EDIT: I'm happy someone got their elevator working.

[Boylee]

yes it is very yellow, sorry about that. I underestimated how bright upwards lighting is. I'll change it to something much more muted in the next release.

We playtested this last night on playstuff, and whilst most people said they enjoyed it there were some fairly serious problems with the layout between points 1 and 2. I'm currently working on a revision that should address this, hopefully I'll be updating the thread in an hour or two...

[Boylee]

Updated! Now with at least 80% less eyebleed.

[Boylee]

It's just occurred to me that whilst building the new second and third points I forgot to put in a flank for second. I'll update to a2a when I get home. If there's anyone out there who was planning on playing this, don't go playing this version.

You can shoot down at blu's first spawn from the final cp.

I have no idea why that didn't occur to me. I'm such an idiot at times. Thank you for pointing out that blatant, yet shamefully overlooked fact.

I can't think of a neat way to fix it right now so it'll just be a block bullet brush for the meantime.
