So here it is cp_obscure_rc4, now most of you are looking for nicer things every update i must admit, as i set that task upon myself through the rc stages lol. However in rc4 is more bug fixing, tweaks clippings and optimal placings that has been altered in this version.

With the huge success of the spawn timers of last being “fixed” or changed to some ppl the map is not being drawn as often which is good to see and is much less stalemate’y’ on capture point 1.

However something which to be fair some of you have suffered from is class changing abilities in spawn, knowing where to change and what not. So i’ve changed it so that now in capture point 1 spawn, there are two “compartments” which will basically give you the understanding that you can’t change class in those areas, and you have to change class within the resup cabinets territory.

There is also a new ledge at spawn which will allow projectile based classes to get up the top be healed and go aggressive to 3 (this is aimed particularly at soldier as he can now with 300 health get there the same time as a demo)

I will make this statement though, cp_obscure_rc5 is the version to watch out for, i think the new addition incoming to rc5 alot of you will love especially making it ALOT less stalematey. I can’t give you much details as of yet, but it should keep koeitje quiet for a while and others who whined about it! – Thanks goes to Torden for instigating the thought which led me to a new idea! So <3 Sivert!

So watch out for rc5 trust me it will be worth it. Also pay attention to the changes made about to list.

.::. Release Log of changes .::.

– Fixed rocks in the lobby near cp1, could get stuck at a certain angle (thanks Koeitje)
– Changed all the arrows following Valve's standards
– Now altered the door at spawn on the left side so that a demoman/soldier can sticky/rj away from the start of the door! (This fix is just for you joske <3 :P)
– The ledge near capture point 3 spawn's has now been replaced as a snow hill so its smooth and flows well.
– Various fading object distances fixed, especially on blue side boxes in the left house also the wooden doors in the left house would disappear from distance if viewed from the right.
– You can no longer build a teleporter or any other building structures in the half door area on the right side of capture point 1.
– Some visual fixes on the right route side of capture point 1.
– Lots of lighting fixed, my thanks goes to the guy who posted a long reply about the lighting.
– Lots of other bugs mentioned by a few of you also fixed, no doubt i'm sure there will be others not found or mentioned yet so please feel free to post on this thread if you find any.
– New small rocks co-joined with the biggest pillar on capture point 3, giving some height variation. This can be jumped on from the ground floor by a scout or from any class off the bridge onto the pillar.
– TIMER IS NOW SET AT AN INITIAL 10:00 RATHER THAN 6:00, as much as i enjoyed having to see players pushed into making a move, my thanks to Jimmybreeze's explanation.
– Caputre point 1 spawn has been re-structured so that it is OBVIOUS and CLEAR where you can change class also added a new ledge to allow soldiers to take advantage and advance quickly to capture point 3.
– Loads of other bugs/fixes applied to which i can't remember all! :)

My thanks goes out to Torden, Jimmybreeze for input.

Also thanks to Baerbal and Honeymustard for map testing and finding all those bugs <3.

I’ve got my anal specs on :D

These are pretty much all cosmetic, except for the first two.

http://i39.tinypic.com/2mdgr9w.jpg – I really don’t get the point of this, why do you think it is an upgrade to the prior versions of that area? All I see it doing is screwing up existing rollouts, and not really doing much else. If this was simply to differentiate the two areas, please do it in a different way, as this current one is completely over the top.
http://i44.tinypic.com/2gt53zd.jpg – This lamp is not set to clip.

Now for the cosmetics…

http://i43.tinypic.com/2i058cj.jpg – People commented on it in the last release but the issue has still not been rectified, the colours underneath both points are much too saturated and strong, and don’t fit in with the map (or TF2) colour scheme.
http://i42.tinypic.com/29ncsn7.jpg – There is still no back for this.
http://i39.tinypic.com/10cm23o.jpg and http://i42.tinypic.com/2h4jndv.jpg – The trees still disappear before they should.
http://i42.tinypic.com/675gsp.jpg – Black out of nowhere.
http://i39.tinypic.com/qnsr5i.jpg – This pipe clips into the ground in a really ugly way, you should make it look more realistic (implant it instead of just clipping it into the floor?)
http://i39.tinypic.com/5by7ax.jpg – Once again there is no back for this.
http://i40.tinypic.com/mmeyjn.jpg – The texture has partially transferred to the pipe.
http://i40.tinypic.com/xfw5mc.jpg – Door hinges are placed away from the frame.
http://i40.tinypic.com/23wvdxk.jpg – Why are there vents here? The house is well ventilated as it is, there are no doors to close on any of the entrances/exits so these are completely unnecessary.

Nice work @ looking 4 cosmetics “bugs” :o

Let’s download this one ! :)

Baerbal

also lol @ how you always spell baerbel ^_^

Just using the pic of chris:
http://i42.tinypic.com/2h4jndv.jpg

There are four windows to show that room there on the left. Its off course very nice to add some visuals there. But its so distracting from the action thats coming from the two little doorways on the right. You can make just one window instead of four, make the room darker or change the window to the other side. But right now its quiete distracting and it doesnt add something to the battle area anyway.
