Chicane

New & Shiny!
CTF_CHICANE_A12b

Invade CTF

• Intel respawns 30 seconds after capture
• Dropped intel can be retrieved by either team
• Dropped intel returns to the centre after 30 seconds

Everyone had a different gripe about what was wrong with the old chicane and I realised that this was because the base design was crap.
So how does one remedy that? By wiping them clean and starting again of course!
Don't worry though, it's still invade ctf and it still has Rexy's fantastic intel model, only now it will (hopefully) be a lot more interesting to play too!

Updated to a12b.
+ Fixed clipping behind capture points
+ Fixed scoring
+ Fixed intel trails
+ Announcer now only yells at the team that's being invaded
+ Announcer should only sound once per alert now
+ Sirens are now only heard inside the base that's being invaded

So what are you waiting for? Go play it now!
Oh yeah, that's right..

Thanks to:

• Leminnes for help and discussion on the new layout
• TerabyteST For telling me how to get the alarms sounding to only one team
• Rexy for his sexy intel model
• a Boojum Snark for entity help with alarms & for his ultimate resource pack
• VelvetFistIronGlove, Grazr, Supersandvich and Snacks for figuring out how to get the invade ctf scoring properly.
• Acegikmo for the environment gallery
• Mick-a-nator for his barrel cluster edit
• Wiebbe for his invade mode announcer sounds

Known issues:

- Stairs right outside spawn haven't been clipped
- The floor lighting at the BLu capture point is doubled up (hence 2x as bright as Red's)


What's next:

+ First detailing pass
+ Another lighting pass
+ Custom skybox texture
+ Badgering Rexy and/or UGLYdumpling for more models

Nice height advantages. I really like this one

2 Things
- The middle is far too dark
- I already told this to vilepickle, keep this in mind for yours as well: make sure to illuminate the upper reaches of your map, so that a flying soldier or demo is not invisible up there.

Yeah, Macnetron pointed that out to me just after I posted a link at playstuff, unfortunately google failed me, I'll recompile later with a new name...

Yep I concur, and good advice on the second point, I hope some up-lighting will help with that.
Cheers.

OK, name changed to Chicane, lights added and a few other minor tweaks put in.
The lights are a little too bright in the middle now but at least you can see where you're going.

Can I get a mod to change the name of the thread to Chicane please?

P.s I know there's a disembodied light to fix on the BLU side, it's on the list.

[Boylee]

Bump for A3. Still need a mod to change the title too please.

[Boonsaw]

Love the new name!

Lighting looks great for an alpha, very dramatic. Now it needs textures!
