#1 My rock and roll album is finally here! in Music, Movies, TV

In case you've been wondering why you haven't been spammed by one map thread or the other, it's because I've been in the final stages of pushing out my rock album.

Well, it's finally here! My band (spoilers, it's just me and my buddy Tait who sings) The RLN have finally finished up our first record - The Rise of the Phoenix. You can check it out on whatever streaming service you like. It's very 1970's rock and roll flavored.

Spotify:
https://open.spotify.com/album/7nNCbuX0VPMT0CXf5jsWAn?si=DqGe28iVTgiPkpjukUJr9A

Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEgGRVAIe-8&list=PLiqxLpiuxSJ3ju3Tp7IIh7z-40QGfgHPc

I played every instrumental part, and wrote most of it. Tait wrote a fair chunk of the lyrics and sang all the leads. We recorded it over a few months at my house and then I basically spent 15 months mixing the damn thing learning a shit ton about audio production along the way. I'm really happy with how it came out for a first album.

Hope you guys enjoy it.

#538 cp_logjam (5CP) in Map Discussion

Thanks as always, HOI! I will add those to my list of things to fix for RC11 after this season.

And here I thought that's what the info_player_start was for. I think it gives you a camera under the arch at mid, still... lol. Thanks!

Look at you upping the game by using brackets in your title instead of parenthesis. A visionary in both post and map design!

cp_logjam_rc10a: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/cp_logjam.3835/download?version=17457

No screens, here are the small bugfixes:
-fixed a hole in the floor on mid
-fixed a hole in the mid bridge ceiling
-removed an extra set of lights above logroom's exit on mid
-raised the little roof over the upper lobby exit to make it less obvious you can't stand on it
-made it so you can't stand on the roof lips of the tall buildings on mid (more clipbrushes misaligned by less than 1 hu... don't decompile maps, kids)
-fixed a broken displacement you could stand on at red 2nd
-adjusted displacement ground in front of spire
-playerclipped literally all of choke to hopefully eliminate a weird glitch

#532 cp_logjam (5CP) in Map Discussion
TwiggyHyce i have a few questions :

why do you make a doorway like this if you noclip the small ledge? It's misleading.

what does it bring to you to make these many roofs? There are other instances of that on the map, and you're not the only one who makes that.

Lol, sniped me as I was making the rc10 post. I think your comment about the roof is fair enough. Why so many? It's kind of the TF2 style, IMO. The lowest one is a bit misleading, it looks like you should be able to stand on it.

These things will be getting changed for the next version of the map, I'm going to be doing a lot of out of bounds detailing / last / 3d skybox detailing etc..

Note - we have found a few things already on RC10 that probably merit RC10f:
- There's a hole in the map by the sheds on mid.
- There's a hole in the map underneath mid on the underside of the rock arch
- There's 2 sets of lights / floating light entities above logroom's exit on mid.

If anyone else finds anything gamebreaking - let me know, I'll fix them and put RC10F out to fix them in a little bit. Waiting to see if we come up with anything else at this time.

I've also got a list of nitpicky detail stuff for RC11 - anything else related to that is fine too but the focus for RC10F will be gamplay for ozfortress and ETF2L.

#528 cp_logjam (5CP) in Map Discussion

Thank you for linking that. I've seen that and Silentes' feedback about the map, and I've got good things brewing for the offical RC10. Hopefully early next week (mon/tues) release. Feel free to check my stream when I'm on working on the map if you want to see what's up.

The plan is essentially streamlining things - be it props, splash, clipping, buggy ramps, stupid crap you can hit your head on, etc.

I have spoken with the ETF2L admins and you will be running RC10 if it is released prior to being in season.

#27 ETF2L Season 32 announced in News

Look at that! More objective proof that logjam is better than badlands and granary.

Man, I need to stop with the snarky jabs. Oh well. I do think Kaidus' point regarding badlands getting doublevoted is a very valid point. I know Ozfortress will be keeping cp_logjam in this season, I certainly hope that ETF2L chooses to add it based on these polls. There's a ton of bugfixes coming in RC10, which I should have out next week, so it would be cool if we could run RC10 as well.

#10 Ideas around the map pool concept in Map Discussion

I keep hearing all of these great things about koth maps, but:

I cannot get people to play koth_waterton. I didn't get terribly much feedback when ozfortress ran it in their midsummer cup #1, and for the most part the feedback that I have gotten is that it's fun to play. I'm more than willing to work on it, but it doesn't feel like the interest is really there.
