Payload 1 and 2 Server Maps - Add/Remove Request Thread

[Shaman Bond]

Important: If you need to download files manually ahead of time b/c of a slower connection, or you are getting a map version Conflict while trying to connect to the server... Go to the FFN htmlFTP mapserver to find the maps you need and save them to your "{drive-letter}:\Steam\steamapps\{username}\team fortress 2\tf\maps" Directory.

A STICKY, the Payload Rotation isn't a sticky.

Yes, that's outback, but it's a fine map.

plr_panic is now 1. thanks for reminding me lol.

whats wrong with cottage?

[Shaman Bond]

It's gigantically open, sniper heaven, and there are places where engies can build that almost no one can get at. You need a demo at JUST the right angle for a minute or two to get the guns down.

Wait scratch that, I might be able to fix it myself as soon as I find my old Map Decompiler tools... There's a few changes I'd make to Cranetop too... will post in the original thread once I have them done

[iller]

haven't played Cottage yet... could someone provide the Direct download from the FFN mapserver plz?

Actually, the payload rotation is a sticky. <.<

Ooops.

Better get finding those other maps then, unless you're gonna be a DC whore all your life. =P

*bump* ...is Shabow around today?

I'd like to propose this simple change to Outback:
http://home.comcast.net/~ill_er/outb-1.jpg
...start with a Duct in one of the buildings about 30 yards back from the chokepoint that you can rocket/sticky jump up into.
http://home.comcast.net/~ill_er/outb-2.jpg
....connecting to the second floor of the building over-looking the chokepoint. Slap in some real widows and a health kit & ammo... bam, balanced chokepoint. Anyone agree/disagree?


It didn't decompile perfectly for some reason so There's a bunch of other problems with Area portals I'd have to fix with this map just to get it running so I really need to know if I should go forward with making these changes myself, or just track down the original Creator or ask him for his original VMF. (IE: it could take a whole week to back-engineer this puppy)
