I forgot to ask in game, but did anyone have any FPS drops on the latest Glassworks? Specifically around final?
Yes, but I was having issues with framerate the whole time, so I'm not sure how reliable that is. And also the fact that there tends to be a lot more stuff onscreen when you're fighting over last. But I was dropping from 30 to about 10 when pushing last.

I had some, but my computer is butts. Actually noticed it more outside around second.

I had no FPS dips anywhere myself. Everything seemed fine other then that one time some of the metal textures turned checkerboard purple and black.
I also really like the crystal idea, especially with the laser cannons. Really gives people a good, subtle sense of both the Glassworks name and what they are actually fighting for here visually, which in this case is giant laser cannons and the crystals that make them.

So if the crystals are part of the process by which the lasers are made... cp_crystalmethod
I wasn't sure if I was going to or not, but I sort of thought of having it "turn on" on final capture and having it zazz the area a bit. Events on win are always fun, right?
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

curse you, tdot, and your making me watch dumb sfm videos well into the night
If you guys want to watch a thing, there's a showmatch going on live here in a few minutes. The engy Gaberoll has been a big supporter of Glassworks and is the leader of the team who wants to face us on Trainsawlaser eventually.
The correct term is MOTD, that's what TF2 has always called it, and that's what we've always called introductory messages when connecting to a server.
If you disable HTML display it won't show up. Disabling downloads might prevent it too, not sure.
No, I mean 'thumbnail' in reference to the image on the video, not the MoTD. (I did say MoTD in my first post on this matter.) The 'not proper term' thing was because a thumbnail is supposed to be a small preview of a image, which the images at the start of videos doesn't really classify for because that image can be totally unrelated to the video (which is something krunk has a tendency to do).

Is good. The fire extinguisher at the second spawn drove me mad with the way the reflection would just swap once you were close enough.
Yeeeeah..,. I totally didn't fix that. I think that's just a think the extinguisher does. I know exactly what you're talking about, the ones in front of final do the same thing. It's actually the level of detail of the prop changing as you get closer/ further away and it's lowering it's poly's so the round shape is changing to somewhere where it reflects differently. I might axe them because of this.
I know you want to have an epic shadow of the crystal laser thingamajig falling across the CP, but I still think in the long term you'll have to consider turning the lightmaps down a bit, that shadow is created by sunlight and it's the only place in the entire map where the shadows are that sharply defined.
It looks a bit out of place, really.
And now you understand why lighting is a much more important job than stupid baby stuff like clipping. :rotate:

Now I have an idea for a map set inside a massive disco with opposing VIP sections leading to red blue underground spy lairs.
I really like the idea that Red and Blue teams both put their secret lairs in the same discos without realizing it
and then engaged in all out war once they realized what happened

Just as planned.

The map that my roommate's been working on, which I plan to pass along to Mavers as soon as he gives me an RC, is more or less based on this concept.

What still is that?
the thumbnail
you know, the one you see before you click play
I just didn't want to say 'thumbnail' because it's not technically a thumbnail but that's what people call it anyway
