RED and BLU have set up both their bases nearby a major distribution site atop a desert peninsula nearby two rivers. (Betcha didn't see that one coming: look into the skybox, they're there) The two corporations each want control of both the rivers and the major distribution center, of course, but what they don't know is that the other is hiding a top secret technologic base inside the main façade!

Yeeup, that's so original.
It used to be dynamic, but it isn't anymore and it won't. Because I can.
Changelog

BETA 3:
Detailed RED and BLU sides more
Re-detailed RED a bit
Much skybox work
More skybox work
Finalization
Not adding soundscapes (darn.)

BETA 2:
Detailing is changed a bit.
Planned out the rest of the changes.
Overlays remade.
Layout tweaked.
Tons of little tiny things that just made it better.

BETA 1B:
Detailed RED Spawn
Removed all traces of dev materials
Detailed insides more
Changed layout slightly
Prepped for detail overhaul for RED side
Optimized
A lot of tiny little insignificant things

BETA 0:
- Detailed BLU spawn
- Detailed mid a bit
- Detailed BLU yard and paths to mid
- Detailed most interiors
- Properly lighted most interiors
- Occluders used mildly for optimization (still needs more optimization!)
- Made a 3d skybox
- Clipped vigorously
- Edited a lot of the OOB parts of the map overall
- Fixed hopefully everything with the custom props
- A lot of insignificant small things

BUGS:
- Areaportal cuts through a slight portion of a visible func_detail and causes slight visual disdain
- FPS isn't as good as I'd like
- 3d skybox's shadows do not properly match with the edge of the playable area
- 3d skybox fog is a little off

I always like koth maps where you can go beneath the point, like koth_ashville. I even tried to do it in koth_refinery, my first godawful map.
I'm sure you'll have implemented it better than I did.

a4b updated.
I didn't bother updating between a1 and a4 because I don't know
I must test this so that everyone can tell me if the dynamic element plays terrible, is annoying, and/or is gimmicky



excuse my partial hud because apparently cl_drawhud didn't work for me at the time

Triple post like a bawsss
Alpha 4c updated.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/84556731/kot...ynamic.bsp.bz2

More textures and bigger central platform plus other things.

If I can get a test with this that's be GREAT. (Maybe in an impromptu? Hopefully...)
