I came in here expecting maps from Richochet.

I was slightly disappointed.

[Dwood]

Rev in Halo Engine looked better.

[Bodzilla]

[Sel]

You're kidding right?


Rev in Halo Engine looked better.

The development process for source and halo are entirely different, of course rev looked better, because since day one it used a rather final bsp, where as source will start out boxed out with dev textures.


hows it playing sel?

gimme map gogogo

We will be playing it later tonight on 2fort2furious 67.18.19.3:27015 , and hopefully on some tf2maps gamedays.

[Rook]

didn't expect an arena map from you selentic, but I'll definitely beta w/ you if you want.

[Sel]

If you can get those rage dudes to play it on their servers, I'd really really appreciate it, right now it's only on 2f2f.

[Rook]

quit rage because of complications but I'll see if they will run the map

[Sel]

did it have anything to do with you being a ginormous anime faggot?!

[CN3089]

First, not American.

Second, you're more than welcome to get some aussie servers to playtest this, in fact I'd appreciate it, and I'd appreciate it even more if they gave me some feedback :)


when's the next 2f2f maptest

One of these days around 8-2 (-5), I'll try to post here if there is one.

[Sel]

I swear these ceilings go up forever!

[Sel]

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/TF2/arena_ricochet_a30000.jpg

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/Tank.jpg

[Mass]

[Sel]

Updated to alpha 3, details in first post.

[Sel]

This will be receiving playtesting tommorow afternoon.

See here (http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?p=126191) for the full schedule.

Ricochet will be played at 8:30 (-5), however I encourage you to stay for a few of the other maps as well if you're able to.

Hope to see some of you there, and be sure to post gameplay feedback, here or in the tf2maps thread for this.

[Rook]

Sel I will be so very excite to play this map with other tf2ers

[Sel]

:]

[ZeRk`]

seriously those fucks are going down

:cop:

okay so im down to play. lets play dis afternoon

[Sel]

Updated to alpha 4, see origial post for details, this will probably be my final gameplay alpha, as it plays quite smoothly now, and has no more need for gameplay alterations.

[Rook]

How did the play test go? I feel asleep. :(

[Terror(NO)More]

I can host servers.

[Sel]

Working on beta 1, with proper textures, lighting, visual interest etc.

No screenshots yet, but, if anyone knows why source is absolutely raping this model, it would be great!

[Sel]

Re-Exporting and recompiling fixed the issue, appears that the exporter shit itself the first time, and missed loads of data.

[Sel]

InTEREST~~

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/TF2/RicochetLaser.png

Finished up the laser for the most part, time to learn to uv and texture !

[Bodzilla]

looks win man :neckbeard:

[Sel]

Starting to work on detailing, will post pictures as soon as it's ready!

Also, is there anyone here with interest in tf2, and the ability to skin (UVW Unwrap and textures?), I have a few props I need skinned, but I don't know the first thing past filters in photoshop.

[Sel]

Releasing A5 Later today

Since interest is booming here I thought I would tell you!!

[Ganon]

I AM BOOMED

[Sel]

A5 Has been released, check first post for info.

It's changed a lot but I'm pissed you made it look like 2fort.

oh well I'll still give it a test run for you!

[Ganon]

2 fort is a pretty good map for a toddler's game

Maybe now you can talk that rage guy who was all angry about alpha 1s into running it in the rotation now? :p


2 fort is a pretty good map for a toddler's game

Honestly, I loved the 2fort basements, they looked absolutely amazing :d

[n00b1n8R]

True, but the horrible lockdown that most games on that shitmap devolve into means that you spend 97% of your time not down there so nobody remembers them :p

[Inferno]

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/TF2/arena_ricochet_a50006.jpg

I love that room. Looks amazing.

Reminds me of forerunner oddly.

[flibitijibibo]

Does anyone want to play a5 tomorrow?

[Sel]

As always, we will be playing it occasionally on 2fort2furious ( 67.18.19.3:27015 ) so join up sometime in the pm when I'm up, and I'll get it run.

It will also probably be played on the tf2maps.net map test this saturday, again, I encourage you to stay for the whole thing which starts around noon (-5), join this (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TF2Mappers) group to keep up to date on events.

[Limited]

Is that the server you guys usually play TF2 on?

[Sel]

No, I would never advertise a server with that reason.

Just a heads up, 4chan shit is absolutely despised there, so if you're a meme spewing retard, steer clear.

[Jelly]

Good UK servers to look at would be PC Gamer's server (85.236.100.18:27115), TriggerHappyGamers (89.145.117.74:27025 and 217.163.30.149:27015) and sometimes Java Server (217.163.25.165:27015) if a few people are on it.

[Sel]

Jelly if you can get them to play this I would be forever your lover! (as if I'm not already!!)

[Jelly]

Java server are the only ones likely to test custom maps and their admin probably has exams atm but yeah I'll poke them next time they have a gamenight.

[flibitijibibo]

We should get a gamenight for this/TF2 general this weekend or something, I feel like we've only talked about it but never played it as a Modacity thing. I miss that server, too...

[Yoko]

I second this, even though sel's the only one still playin that bad game~

[Sel]

Yeah you're right, there should be a community customs modacity server running.

Wait a minute.

[CN3089]

Yeah you're right, there should be a community customs modacity server running.

Wait a minute.

I would've used the old one if it didn't lag like shit :v:

[Sel]

This will be played around 2:10 PM (-5) on the tf2m gameday server 63.210.148.171:27015

I would also like to suggest you show up around 1:20, because it's usually difficult to find a spot, and around that time ctf_atrophy is getting played, which is a very impressive ctf map.

[Sel]

Thank you for showing up sdavis117!

[flibitijibibo]

Couldn't make it, I's sorry :C

[Sel]

Couldn't make it, I's sorry :C

No need to worry, it will be played on 2fort2furious tonight, the ip, if you don't already have it, is in my signature, you should click on it!
