[Map Release] ctf_industrial v1.0

[John_III]

This map is a resurrection of my earlier map doppelfort . I have completely reworked many sections of the map and improved the detailing and lighting. Sections of the layout have been reworked to provide more direct routes and remove unnecessary rooms. All of my lamp map models have been replaced with geometry.

Other changes:

- clip fixes
- sound swaps
- retexturing
- new skybox

Update 2:

- Removed clip in various locations
- Texture fixes
- Additional geometry updates
- Ambient set to 30
- Skylight set to color of sunlight
- Complimentary energy drinks

Update 3:

- retexturing
- geometry fixes
- waypoints
- small lighting fixes
- weapons
- trigger fixes

v1.0.5
- Additional trim textures
- Smoke particles over chimneys

1.0.7
- Lighting fix
- Additional door texturing
- Removed a few waypoints


Note: FPS drops may be noticeable on older systems, especially near the water.

John_III,
As I can't get to sendspace through SafeEyes, my internet content filter, would someone e-mail me the map files ( cmdratzATyahoo.com )? If not, box.com and dropbox.com both work for me and other SafeEyes users. I would like to test the map framerate on my nettop. In turn, I will give you actual information from the low performance community.
Cheers

This map is looking amazing! Can't wait for it.

I've only got one real complaint about the map, and that's how some invisible walls prevent me from reaching locations that seem within reach (like this one).

Besides that, it's a nice re-make of 2Fort in Blood Frontier style, will probably be nice for some serious CTF matches.

Looks really nice. Ill leave some feedback after ive had time to test it.

Speaking of remakes, me and Four30Six were talking about a remake to the Bloodfrontier map "Bloodgrounds"...just something worth thinking about.

Hot damn...that map looks damn impressive. I can't wait for the final version!

This is an excellent map! The only problem I have with it is the ambient value: it makes it look like there are no shadows, or the walls are all glowing reddish-purple. maybe you could try using soft purple lights (or skylight) and making the ambient darker?

That said, we really need a voting system, because doppelfort was already a great map and you made it better. 9/10 stars, and I vote this should be included in 1.3!

This map looks very nice with great texturing. I can imagine some great team games on it.

John_III,
Thankyou for putting the map on dropbox for me. I will take a look at it and see how it performs on my nettop and post again about that. Please include a license, industrial_ctf.txt, in the zip.
Cheers

[John_III]

File updated with license.

[Dratz-_C]

John_III,
The map consistently runs at 30 fps on my nettop. My experience is a good indicator of how it will perform for the low-performance community. Thanks for adding the license. Please include your name in industrial_ctf.txt as in the example I've included below so map revisers will know who to credit, which is required by Creative Commons BY-SA. I recommend using license version 3.0.

Also, consider changing the map title from ctf_industrial to industrial_ctf to match the filename and doing something like pictures 1 or 2, rather than 3 where the side water tank wall textures do not match the middle ones.

I decided to fix the title and the first textures myself and found some additional mismatches, which I fixed as well. The fourth picture is of a revision of mine, unofficial 1.0.2, containing the fixes and a set of matching geometric changes to make it harder to use shortcuts as exploits, changing 4 way points to comply.

If you desire, you may take my name out of the unofficial version 1.0.2 license file and the map credit and use my revision as your own work. Beneath is the download link for the unofficial 1.0.2 zip.

Thanks for the help. I made some small additional modifications (lighting, geometry, etc.).

Updated files above.

[Dratz-_C]

John_III,
In this version I have continued the team colored areas on the warehouse walls, and corrected or aligned certain textures. The edges of concrete and ducting now match at their seems and roofing panels should look better at their edges.

John_III,
I was also thinking that the smokestacks might look good with "smoke" particles coming out of them, but have not yet looked into how to achieve it.

I added v1.0.4 to my server with the name "industrial". So name the files of this map "industrial", place them in the maps dir of the game and you should be able to vote for it online in a couple of minutes.

My latest revision (1.0.5) has added plume effects over each smokestack. I also added a few segments of trim texture.

Updated files in link at the top of the page.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

[Ulukai]

Updated my server with v1.0.5. Once again, it's called simply "industrial".

[Dratz-_C]

Hi John_III,
The smokestack in the omega base is farther away such that it ceases to emit the plume when viewed from the other base. I don't know how to fix that.
Cheers

[Dratz-_C]

Hey folks,
With John_III's permission, I have added bomberball. I've also placed more weapons and upped the minimum player count from 4 to 6. Download industrial_1-0-6 here: https://www.box.com/s/1bab80833138dac2db3e .
Cheers

[Ulukai]

Once again, server updated to v1.0.6

[John_III]

1.0.7 out. Notes and files at top of page.
