Aburad Prison

Aburad Prison is a "invade" CTF which takes place in a prison in the desert somewhere. The mission is to get the bomb from the middle and take it to the other teams base. Im working on a custom model for the intelligence because who wants to get a briefcase with paper into the enemies base? How fun is that?

Keep in mind that the bomb model is in a early stage aswell and ill improve it later on (this is my first model, im just starting to get the hang of 3d max)

Anyway, heres a few screens at my bomb flag:



The score system is working but not showing at the HUD atm, first to 3 captures wins.

Keep in mind the map is only alpha3, just wanted to get the map out here so I can get some feedback on how the gameplay and the bomb flag works. Think i got everything pakrated, let me know if not.


BTW: The screenshots isnt updated, I wont update them every alpha release...

You must not alter the HUD. I presume you are doing it by packing in replacement materials for the existing ones, however any embedded resources stay cached in memory and carry over to subsequent maps until the client is restarted. This makes it an enormous no-no.

I think i saw a ladder in one of the screenshots.. A ladder is bad for TF2.

BTW The maps looks nice

So theres no way to avoid it staying cached? If not I guess ill remove the replacement HUD in the next version. Any feedback on the map itself?

Alpha2 released!

Changes:
Added prisoncells to get a more prisonlike feeling
Explosion when a team scores for the third time
Setupgate and 30 sec setuptimer, just about enough to let the teams gather before the bomb becomes available
Remade the displacements
Removed the custom HUD
Added a few new props
Nobuild at the bombspawn and capture zones
And more I cant remember right now...

gameday bump!

after todays gameday I realised the time before the bomb(intel) turns neutral when the carrier gets killed is way to long so im lowering it with about 2/3

any more suggestions?

EDIT: I forgot, A Boojum Snark told me to use the new A/D HUD as the scoring isnt working on the one im using atm, will look into this

I point out these 1 2 3 4 spots and sit back content after a day of trapping.
