still a work in progress, but basically complete. just needs fine tuning and more work on the surrounding environment.
i'd appreciate some feedback for improvements and such
and for the record
this map is actually fair
surprising right?
well anyways, you should probably see if the download works first, i'm not 100% sure with packBSP.
sooooo
yeah.

The link doesn't work.

The link works now.

alright, awesome
now, i need someone to check if the custom props work....
hmmmmmmm
oh
okay, so can someone go into red spawn
on the desk, there should be a peach-colored tv with static animations on the screen
let me know if you guys can see it.

The tv seems to be working properly.
I just had a few missing textures when I loaded the map. In general, the map looks good so far.

thanks!
also: i have no idea how to fix the missing textures. suggestions?

ach
well, this needs bump.
i'll ask again
any suggestions on how to fix the stoopid textures?

First off, to check yourself to see if you are missing textures. Go and rename your tf folder to something like "tf_backup" and restart tf2. The put your map in the new maps folder and play tf2 to find your map. After you are done testing, delete the new tf folder and rename your old one back to "tf."


With missing textures, download PackBSP.

Protip: don't use models or textures from other games in a TF2 map.
It doesn't fit in a TF2 map and saves you trouble.

That too. and it annoys me. you don't want to annoy me, t00bz, do you!?

no, i don't
i tried reducing the amount of hl2 textures actually.

in the texture tool in Hammer type "tf" in the keywords field. that will only use TF2 textures.

btw, i used packbsp to pack my map. it generates a new bsp with all the custom stuff, amirite?

it has quirks. you must test to make sure it packs everything. There are plenty of random things it won't pack, but there is no better.
