TF Tuesdays 10-6 : Now with working HUD

[CaffeinePowered]

New Maps:

ctf_galara_a1 - I think the bases explode or something after you cap

etf_hunted - HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY WORKS...well...sort of, if you have the flag, you are the hunted, if you drop it, its game over, so make sure that flag carrier stays alive

koth_denile_b2 - desert theme'd KOTH, looks worth a whirl


Old Maps w/New Faces:

tc_meridian_rc3 - Lots of updates from what we have on the server, including a working HUD, make sure you DL this one before hand, its 50+ megs

ctf_decker_b13a - Another one we tested before, a lot of optimization work and some aesthetics and routes have been reworked.

cp_indulge_rc3 - Vile says this *should* be the last update


Also as of note, both meridian and hunted have INTRO VIDEOS, these are .bik files and need to be placed in the tf2/media folder

Server: Red Version

I live with my sister, shes the one who drives. We go shopping on my off days and (usually) try to go when I have two off in a row (this week that's Tuesday and Wednesday).

A Hunted map? I was talking about that on FNF last week about how there has yet to be a good (or official) hunted map. Hopefully this one can tide me over.

There was a sourcemod plugin that "denoated" a player as 'the hunted', but this system basically bypasses that via the flag and tying win/loss to someone dropping it, so yes...you can accidentally LOSE if you press L to drop the flag after set up ends.

Oh wow. This can make it very easy to troll an entire team.

One of the things I'm worried about, though, is character classes for the map. In the original Hunted map, I remember it was a team of snipers against a team consisting of medics, soldiers, and the civilian (I can't remember if the HW Guy was included or not). Being able to have any class on the map is going to make it much easier for the assassin team. Imagine trying to get a civilian past a team of engineers with well-placed sentry guns.

We totally plan to show up this time!

DO WANT!

Hopefully better than that version from last year 

[Luca Shoal]

It was better. But it's still a bad map and Caff should feel bad.

[backfire]

Well, even though caff was surfing etf_hunted the entire time on a wave of optimism and nostalgia, it was still pretty bad.  Denile was a bit too cramped and galara was... yeah... :-\

Eh, it was fun all in all.. By the way though, anyone know about any of those swamp maps from that contest tf2maps had?

[CaffeinePowered]

meridian is fucking epic, the map is actually smaller in size than the older version we had on the server by about 10 megs


Also hunted was nice...but ultimately left things to be desired

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Galara sucked ass.  Horribly optimized (FPS crashes in spawn rooms).  Didn't even play it.
Hunted could work.  I honestly think they need to bring back sewers and widen some of the areas to counteract the spammy nature of TF2.  I think we can all agree that TFC had much more precision.  Even the rockets didn't have huge AOE like TF2.  Dump the one person wide areas too.  Rather easy to body block things.
Denile can take it or leave it after some bug fixing.  Not my favorite, but I wouldn't leave either.

Meridian was nicely updated.  I still wish he'd addressed the red intel room near the big robot (still too hard to defend in comparison to BLU's intel rooms).  But good fun.  <3 Liberty Prime ;P
