[RELEASE] TTT_Forest_Final

[Shifty Pete]

This is a very detailed, fun to play TTT map. It's fairly large and open, but there are plenty of hiding spots. There is also a spectator room with a prop obstacle course. Episode 2 is not required, as the content is embedded into the bsp. Have fun!

Here's the 'story' behind the map:

The terrorists have completed their mission by derailing a train. However, they did it too early and now they are stuck in a forest surrounded by mountains. Why was the train derailed early? The heist was sabotaged by a group of traitors among them! Time will tell their fate...

- This is the first public release, the first two betas had too many errors.
- I have plans for underground caves in a future version.
- Might add a skybox too.
- Thanks to 'Python Violator' for inspiring me to make this.
- Thanks to 'Blueberry_Pie' for the LDR skybox fix.
- Thanks to all the people who helped me beta test earlier.

Please tell me what you think! Suggestions are welcome!

Am I the only one who can not see the pictures here?

Anyway, It sounds really good and looks really good looking at the Garrysmod.org link

[GrayScare0]

I can see the pictures.  It looks pretty nice; downloading now.

Looks like this hasnt been given much love. I'll fire up Garrysmod now and give it a look. If I like then I'll put it straight up on Mogz.

*EDIT*

I like it, its detailed and looks like it could be fun.

I only have one problem which makes me reluctant to put it on the server...The map is essentially split into three areas, but there is no other way to travel between them other than the paths. With 16-20 players, this causes the problem of traitors not being able to use their weapons and get away without anyone seeing them, it would be much better if there was some sort of simple tunnel system which connects the areas via underground.

Other than that it would be great, just right now it is only really suitable for 5-10 players imo.

[Shifty Pete]

While I do have plans for underground tunnels, I have to disagree with you.

The map's really popular on Mindblast TTT, and most of the time we have ~26 players. I have no problem getting a shitload of kills as T, but that's probably because I have escape routes planned beforehand (And I use the teleporter). There's plenty of spots to hide in, too (Behind trees or fences or on the cliffs)

And you're right about it not getting much love. :(
I see all these shitty build maps getting thousands of downloads and plenty of comments. My map has a couple hundred downloads, and one comment.

I'm thinking of making a build version and naming it gm_forest. you watch. It'll get a tonne of downloads and the TTT version will be forgotten.
TTT in general isn't really going that well these days.

This map is cool.

SCREW YOU RECTAL! Stop trollin my threads!

Edit: STOP EDITING THE POST GODDAMN IT

[Cush]

I'll give it a whirl then, uploading now.

Its, Okay...

Anonymous shut up. Fucking work of art mate.

Anonymous shut up. Fucking work of art mate.

Agreed. Would like to see a better one from you!

[WSW]

Anonymous is right tough, it looks okay, but it is far from best looking maps out there.

(Quick example: rp_vuoritsto)



Still, for a second map, this is pretty damn impressive, good work.

Thanks, I bet if I really tried I could make it look as good as the map you posted. And this is my third map, by the way. It was kind of a quick job.

Make a new map, after me, your hero, Rectal Exambot.

Edit: Do the next one, underground, with traps and shit, like a less shit Lost Temple*.

*I like Lost Temple, but campers ruin it for me.

The falls ruin it for me.  Both the introductory slide (which I circumvented via rearming) and the teleporter pits (they often do a lot of damage to players; Citizen should have made the water square things bigger).

Admitting that you did a lazy job on your own map is never a good sign
