    A few months and some mapping experience later I'll have to say that I could have made this map better.

    The middle area and the intel room are too small. Layout specifics, lighting, texturing, and the displacements need work. Two of the paths are too difficult to traverse (climbing the rocks & pipes up to the battlements, and using the vents in the basement).

    It's still a fun map and I like the general layout. CTF in TF2 is not my favorite mode, so I probably won't continue work on this map, though. The next maps will be better.

    Thanks for trying it, and have fun!

    OK, thanks to the helpful people on tf2maps.net and interlopers.net I fixed the bloom. The map is finished now!

    I'll take a look at it. It seems I'll have to release a v2 after all.

    I'm having a lighting issue with the lastest version of your map. For whatever reason, all signs and metals that would normally reflect are extremely bright.... so bright that you can't see through them or anything that the signs say - etc.

    I realize this is supposed to be a final version but there's no way anyone on my server will play a map when they can't read the directional signs. Please let me know when and if this is fixed so I can put the newest version on my server.

    I just played the beta on yor server; nice to play the map with a big bunch of players. I even found a trick or two I didn't think of when making the map (e.g. throwing grenades through the air vent into the intel to kill the inevitable sentries). Very cool custom server.

    I dont think the sg was actually targeting people through walls, it was shooting other players near it but the bullets were tearing through the walls. i don't know for sure, it's in rotation on my server ill give you a shout when it comes on if you pm me your steamid

    The doorframe to the intel is partly a func_illusonary - I hate gettings stuck on doorframes. Sentries may be able to shoot through the doorframe, but not through the adjacent wall. I'll have to look into this when I find the map on a public server; maybe it should be fixed. I can't get a sentry to shoot at me when testing the map alone ;-)

    one thing is sentries can shoot through walls, you can see the bullets tearing out of walls way beyond where the sgs actually are

    This shouldn't happen; could you tell me in which area sentries can shoot through walls, and which walls?
