Landfall is one of the least obnoxious CTF maps I've ever played but it still has some really bad chokes, and the only non-interior passages that wrap around the map are very narrow. The spawns are also placed just a little too awkwardly - plus it has two spawn rooms, which frankly I don't think a 6s map should have. I really like the mid and the intel area could definitely be rearranged a little and it would be great, but the biggest issue for me is the pathways between them. It's like what would happen if you took Badlands and removed the entire train path to second.

Landfall and Doublecross could both be somewhat decently modified with pro versions for 6s. Sawmill also wouldn't be that obnoxious if the ctf version didn't block off passages so that you have to walk through the stupid center, if the intel wasn't deep below ground protected by the enemy spawn, and if the mid didn't have the sawmills as an actual hazard (they could be stationary and that would be fine).

Well is too big, and while I like its intel room/final cap room (although the pathways are too high up for non-explosive classes), the spawns are too far forward and it's way too chokey. 2fort is hopeless. Turbine is really only suited towards HL.

Funny as it sounds though, now that I think about it, it seems to me like the CTF map most ready for 6s is actually Thunder Mountain, assuming all of the mannpower junk was removed. It's not actually that bad once it's mirrored like that, and the spawns are far enough out of the way that you could still run in and capture without having to wipe the entire team. Gorge might also work well (its mannpower variant).

As long as it's made to be faster paced, with smaller, more open maps and with short despawn times, I think it could make for a fairly interesting spectator sport. We'd get a lot of clutch cap or intel steal moments similar to what happened with bird noises and 8K, except for capping intel. Hell of a lot better than Valve's A/D that they're pushing on everyone in matchmaking.

We just need a new map that does it correctly, because pretty much none of the other CTF maps (even community ones) are catered towards 6s.

Frankly CTF has a lot of potential and I thoroughly enjoy the game mode, it's just that all TF2 CTF maps are shit. The only map that was ever decent and saw competitive use was Turbine Pro, but that only worked well with the HL format.

I'd love to see something like Doublecross but without all the chokes it has, and a little smaller.

Honestly 30 seconds is even too much. I would be perfectly fine with a fast-paced 15 second timer. I think pushes in 6s would work best if you couldn't fail a push and then get a full respawn and run all the way back and grab it again. It should be fast and dynamic, rather than static with level 3 sentries.

really because if i type it into google maps it comes up instantly

that is not where i live at all nor is that how you spell my name :c

Can't wait to use this shit in SFM. The number of WW2-era posters I could make...

Okay, then I'll make this easy for you. When looking for the "Team Fortress 2" folder it expects to find vpk.exe and studiomdl.exe under the Team Fortress 2/bin folder. It doesn't care about anything else. Now, those executables do need their corresponding dlls - so here's a zip of a Win32 bin folder. Much lighter than downloading a full TF2 install. Then just copy its output from tf/custom/compviewmodels.vpk.

yes, and they also force motion blur on

Yeah, what's going to have to happen is I'm gunna have to create alternate SMDs just for centering, and make that a separate option. It'll definitely happen but not for awhile. I'll probably use SFM if I can find a proper pipeline for that.

then lol there's a reason this doesn't work on Linux. Even if you were to try running it with WINE I think its DLLs are too deeply rooted in Win32 to load properly.

Again, just tell me what you want disabled and I'll make VPKs for you. It takes like, a single minute of my time.

is studiomdl even included on Linux?

here

just played with an lmaobox spinner playing amby spy. i felt so sorry for the other team, but at least i didnt heal him

I think it's pretty obvious that they haven't actually made the update yet. I'm sure they have ideas for both and they'll finish the one that got the most votes (pyro) soon™

Just updated to version 1.1.

Before you start using this new version you'll need to manually delete the folder "compviewmodels" in your tf\custom folder.

Tell me what you want hidden and I'll bake a VPK for you to install.
