[Map Release] cp_indulge FINAL 1.0
Finally final!
Indulge is a completely original, competitive-focused, Sawmill-themed 5CP map that also has the ability to be very fun on public servers. It does not stalemate as much as traditional 5CP maps on public servers, and uses height more than most 5CP maps. The map comes off the heels of my other 5CP map that has made it into many leagues. I consider Indulge to be a refinement of my experience on cp_follower, and playtesting has shown the map has a lot of variation and strategies. The development cycle was long, and there was plenty of time for anyone who wished to submit their feedback. I listened to everyone, even if they did present things that weren't implemented.
FINAL 1.0 CHANGES/FIXES:
-Fixed clipping bug at CP2 at the top of a building
-Various lighting and detail tweaks
-Made lamp outside from CP2 to CP3 solid to stand on
-Made the CP1 route added in RC3 wider near the end
-Made the CP3 - CP4 left side route more visible with arrow
-Made health pack near CP2 more visible with decals
-Made CP2 ramps around the point into steps (still act as ramps, visual change only)
-Reduced saw "spinning" sound (it got a little annoying), the damaging sound is still full volume [ Last edited by Vilepickle on Mon Nov 2, 2009 at 9:41 pm CST ]

[Map Update] cp_indulge_rc2
Indulge has been updated to RC2, further polishing the map and changing some slight gameplay factors.
Download and Screenshots: http://www.vilepickle.com/map/screens/tf2_cp_indulge/
RC2 CHANGES/FIXES:
-CP1 saw side entrance now exits further into the CP1 area, extended exit has windows (should help prevent the spam lockdown of that entrance)
-Saw does a little more damage
-CP3 area elevated bridge cut to not impede rocket/grenade jumps
-Fixed minor visual errors around the map
-Made a light fixture solid near Cp3 for jumping
-Moved 1st resupply cabinet towards the center of the room slightly
-Fixed rain glitching through buildings in a few spots
-Added a wood plank to the CP1-2 connector "mini-spiral" to improve flow in that room
-Added supports to stone bridge

[Map Update] cp_indulge_rc3
Indulge is still here and seeking playtests and feedback. RC3 has been released, updating the map with some visual and gameplay updates. Barring any significant gameplay shifts and feedback revelations, very little will change from RC3 to the upcoming final version. That still doesn't mean I won't listen to any feedback. Now's your chance to see the map changed instead of a month after I've called it done.
RC3 CHANGES/FIXES:
-Spytech rockets added behind the initial spawn
-CP1-2 Connector room streamlined visually
-1-2 Saw room connector now has a half-path option added connecting to the lower CP1 area. The exit to this is close to the current exit in terms of what can be seen and offers an alternative to a potentially spam-filled door that can currently be locked down too easy.
-Lowered saw damage slightly [ Last edited by Vilepickle on Sat Oct 3, 2009 at 5:33 pm CST ]
