1 and 3 are the same and you aren't going to find a medic built into your stage.
WELL DON'T THAT BEAT ALL.

Darkblaze calling for a medic and he's the only one playing. Guess it could be worse, he could have been a soldier with equalizer.

Re: zf_4towers
Well, I made a map with towers before, it makes the skybox a little trickier because of the different views that the towers provide. Additionally, I'd be careful with those enclosed spaces, usually when I leave ZF, its because of the bland-ness of the past ten maps I had to play. Put in some windows eventually lol. How are they going to get up to the tower? Will the forest be visible from the towers, or in a different section of the map with a teleport? And try to give the survivors a fighting chance =P small buildings aren't kind to the red team...

Re: zf_4towers
Each tower is going to be different, one will be offices, one will be a medical-ish center, Miscellaneous item storage facility and a bomb factory.Snake Oil Salesman wrote:Well, I made a map with towers before, it makes the skybox a little trickier because of the different views that the towers provide.

You will reach each level of each building through stairs. Imagine that.
Plenty of windows. Check.
Human spawns in the parking lot of the towers, the concrete building will be the zombie spawn.

Re: zf_4towers
Go up with stairs? Why not use killer elevators?
Also on a side note, Will the survivors just camp the stairs preventing the zombies from going up?

Re: zf_4towers
This is going to be a CP map, if the zombies take the tower that the humans that are camping, they just move on to the next point, and so on to win the match. IE: i'm going to have zombie specific ladders that go into windows, that they can be used to flank.Derp wrote:Go up with stairs? Why not use killer elevators?

As for killer elevators, I could put an express elevator to the roof if needed.

Re: zf_4towers
Hey, just saying, but you could probably learn a lot from tf2maps.net if you haven't been there already. Alos, never test your map with scout and noclip, you can't judge things properly (distances, travel times, who can get where, etc.).

Re: zf_4towers
I was making fun of the elevators on maps like Lab & mine. That are either really slow, kill those on it, never lowers to pick up those who are left behind, wont go up because of too much weight, etc.Darkblaze wrote: As for killer elevators, I could put an express elevator to the roof if needed.

If you make enough buildings you can stop the elevators.SandvichSpy wrote: Or the zf_fortress elevators, that go SLOW when engie's build sentries on them(though it is funny when someone isn't smart enough to not get crushed by it lol)

Re: zf_4towers
Got one tower done in terms of stairs.
No pictures today unfortunately.
So 2 of the towers will be "Red", 2 "Blu"
Red will have The bomb Factory, and the Miscellaneous item storage facility
Blu towers will have The Medical and Office buildings.
I'll finish the other red tower, I'll finish the parking lot today
Tomorrow I'll finish the blue towers
Alpha won't have many props, but it will be playable.

Status: Delayed:(
I decided to delay it to get all of the bugs out pre-alpha. I'll try to work on it during the week.
