New Music : No Demos Replaced : None, who would replace that great TF movie? * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Worldcraft and TF EntEd Known Bugs : Dispensers tend to fall through the floors on the ramps to flag. Build Time : Too long. Two weeks on and off due to school. Then two more weeks to fix bugs and improve the map. Then a few more days to turn into svalley2. Compile machine : Pentium 200, 32 Megs Compilation Time : Around 20 mins total ================================================================ * The Aim * Standard Capture the Flag TF. Actually, it's a computer chip, and you have to process it, but you get the idea. Silicon Valley, as in the place where your computer chips are made. Figure it out. ================================================================ * Latest Version * Svalley2 has an additional respawn room with three more starting points. Also, I have added another base entry to make offense easier. Apparently too many whiny clan babies don't like not being able to cap alone. Basically the new entrance makes it harder for defenses to depend solely on sentries for defense. I also fixed some texture bugs that were annoying me. ================================================================ * Other Info * Well, this map is pretty simple. Two forts at opposite ends of the map separated by water (hmmm...sounds familiar). However it is not simply a 2fort(fill in the boring blank) clone. In addition to a narrow bridge, there are two ledges high on the wall providing a way across the water. Of course, there are water passages to get you out of the water if you fall in. In addition, the valley (yard, whatever) between the two bases is large and contains two bunkers and a sniper tower on each side. THERE IS NO BLOODY SNIPER ROOST!! Use the tower. It actually requires some talent though, so I understand why most snipers are afraid of it. This map is intended to be harder than most to cap on. The chip return is set at 25 seconds to make it more difficult for one person to cap alone by moving the flag forward bit by bit. Hopefully this map will force people to work in organized team fashion, such as assault and defensive squads. When you steal the enemy's chip, take it to the computer terminal in the room below the entrance to the flag area. Team scores are the standard 10 points per cap. There is a door immediately to the left inside each base that can only be opened by the home team; it's not a bug. Also, the respawn doors are one way to prevent respawn camping (thanks to John Cook's 2fort5, for the idea). Everything else you should find out in play. :) =============================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * You are free to post it anywhere free of charge only...but tell me if you do.
