Yeah, I'll look into it for sure. Are there any particular areas that seem to have lower framerate than others?
Also, does anyone else happen to be having similar issues on windows or linux?

a15 update:
-Slightly lowered the pavilion on mid.
-Simplified second by replacing the little house next to porch with hedges.
-Made cave more cave-like. I've made it smaller on the inside and reduced its footprint on second.
-Changed top right spawn on last so its harder to spam point from safety.

A few things:

Sniping from the forward spawns is currently too powerful IMO. It's especially bad on the 2nd point where the sniper can basically see everything from inside of the spawn.

This lantern is super obnoxious since it restricts your movement:
https://imgur.com/nzIC1NF

This flank is pretty boring. Adding some high ground advantages and breaking up vision would go a long way towards making it an area that could see action that isn't just through-traffic. Cave is looking pretty good IMO.

These shelves with boxes should be closed off since you can't use them
https://imgur.com/Bq0xduD

I still don't know if I like this flat, open area out to the side. It does provide some space for a team attacking 2nd to maneuver, but it's just so flat and boring and is flanked by a death-pit, so it just feels a little off to me.

I'm really enjoying the map so far. keep up the good work!

b1 update:
Now moving into beta! I feel confident now that theres not a whole lot that needs significant changes, so I've started detailing a bit.
-Windows!
-Changed the shape of some buildings for visual purposes.
-Fixed the smaller things Beater suggested.(lantern collision, shelf)
-Once again, either helped or hurt performance! Either way it's a feature, I swear.

Known issues:
-Stickies stick to nothing above the new wall on last.
-Collision on pipe near second point can be weird.
-Invisible wall around the forward spawn door on second.

Things I'm considering and would like feedback on: (Mostly things beater suggested)
-Moving forward spawns around to make sniper less powerful.
-Making alley flank from mid more interesting. I'm not entirely sure how to do this without major changes, and I don't have time to make these atm.
-Removing death pits on second.
-Shrinking the size of mid a bit.

I would absolutely love thoughts on the ideas above.

far too much random clutter that means rocketjumping is kinda aids in a load of places- also weird ceilings that do the same- above shutter in the non-cave flank to mid, above the top-right shutter entering last if you jump from the wall and a few others. Just try and make the geometry a bit simpler and more intuitive so that movement is smoother in general.

Movement is not smooth on this rock (if i just press w i get stuck in two little spots). Not game breaking but fixing this makes it a tad bit more enjoyable.

https://i.imgur.com/S3nmiZ5.jpg

I feel I'm repeating myself but when i look at this I assume it's jumpable, however you restrict access. I suggest you make these shelves go to the ceiling if you don't want them jumpable.

Mid forward spawn has leaks :

https://i.imgur.com/78loaAJ.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/WPpY9gM.jpg

This looks fucking great

Now about the feedback you asked :

-Moving forward spawns around to make sniper less powerful.

For second spawn , i suggest this :

https://i.imgur.com/Hlo2eIv.jpg

or this :

https://i.imgur.com/pAlfYZs.jpg

For mid spawn, what about a door there :

https://i.imgur.com/qomGmwt.jpg

-Removing death pits on second.

I say keep them, it distinguishes your map and adds a little fun quirk :)

-Making alley flank from mid more interesting. I'm not entirely sure how to do this without major changes, and I don't have time to make these atm.

For starters, what about removing this wall to allow big jumps in/out of the flank?

https://i.imgur.com/caVPFSA.jpg

What about opening this door halfway (think de_dust2 doors) and connect it to the alley flank?

I would suggest shrinking the spawnroom at last, and removing the lower-right exit from spawn wich is quite cramped and has a roof blocking Rocketjumps
edit: Also the spawn time in last is way too long.. if you lost a lot of players defending 2nd, they wont be there in time to defend last since its like 20 bloody seconds to spawn...

from last night's new map showcase, this seemed like a favorite to replace a map from the current esea map pool from the discussion that happened after the matches were over, so it interested me to dl the map and give it a run with what it seemed to be the fastest rollouts for middle
prob some of these were already discovered by the ones that played or watched the streams last night but hopefully it helps somebody, sorry if i got anything wrong

These are interesting, but you have to keep in mind the majority of your team and the medic spawn on the left so for demos and roamers if you roll out on the lower or top right door you will have way less buff to work with, also since you spawn on the left I’m pretty sure it’s actually faster to rollout far left

Oh, man. You don't even want to see my first map. I spent forever learning and making it and it was the worst thing ever. huge and over scaled koth_tikal. I have a new revamped and properly scaled version of this map on my pc if people want me to post it, but I can almost guarantee it wouldn't work for 6s. Might work in HL though.

I don't even know how to start calculating how much time I've spent on propaganda though. The first version was posted to tf2maps on July 23rd of 2016 It honestly feels like Ive been working on it even longer than that. And boy was a1 rough lmao (To be fair it was made within 72hrs for one of the tf2maps jams.)
