Hey there! I set up a 24 slot server with No Crits and No Damage Spread enabled to play on this map. It look's great so I hope that the server stays populated! I will keep it up until I notice that the server stays empty over a period of time

Hey the map looks pretty good but the red train is really shiny and purple!

It's kind of dissapointing.. I think a skin is missing or something.

EDIT: It seems to be both skins.. either that or I am going insane! Something is wrong with the trains though, definitely.

Same links for download.

Cheers

If VALVe worked this a little this should be the next community map.

Well, thats the dream of any mapper, to be honest..having your map released as a community map...but here's hoping!!

I just don't like the normal KOTH or CTF gameplay, and like to tweak the approach without taking it too far...

As for this map, there have been a few teething issues with the game logic and somehow the texture not being uploaded in B3, but I can assure you, the latest version is close to RC status...

....just some work on the Skybox to do....

Thanks for the feedback - it is really appreciated!

Nosher.

On the last picture, I don't think it's a good idea to add sings leading people to inaccessible areas. It could confuse some people.

Nosher · 11-12-2009, 01:47 PM

Development update..........

Your thoughts??

Honestly the gameplay design is unique and looks pretty replay-able (haven't tried it yet)

Could use some visual/environment tweaks by Valve, but otherwise, I hope it does get released as a community map.

The idea isn't really new, try pl_waste, it's very similar.

Had to see what PL_Waste was, as I hadn't ever seen it.

I think the major difference is Staging isn't a CP-come-PL map; it is KoTH.

You not pushing the train in Staging - you are capturing an area to enable the train to move, albeit to the enemy side. Staging is a map contained in a small area and the movement of the CP is an integral part of the design of the level.

As I think that KoTH is boring, I just wanted to spice it up a bit...

I don't think it is right to compare two maps, which use a different genus of gameplay. I don't copy other peoples ideas either (I have oodles of maps I started but binned when I realised someone else had already done it) - when I started on KoTH_Staging, there was no other KoTH map that used this approach.
