Steamworks Extreme needs an activator to function effectively. Only a small percentage of traps are automated, and of those, half of them do not present a significant challenge from the automated elements alone as they are designed to work in conjunction with the manually-activated elements.

You could have worked with us ahead of time and the people who made these maps could have provided you with modified versions that work without an activator. Then you could have had a fully-working experience instead of rushing out a broken setup. You could possibly even have had new maps that...

Parkour Fortress Redux has been going for a few years now. The plugin is available for anyone to use and there are servers up for it. The team makes an appearance at annual charity events. Admittedly the servers don't see much traffic, which is a shame. That game mode doesn't have a claim on the...

It's not parkour, it's platforming. There is already a parkour mode in TF2 and it involves actual parkour movements like wall-running. It's called Parkour Fortress and it's very different. TF2 platforming maps don't resemble parkour as they are a prescribed route that mostly requires hopping...

Upvotes will not help. You need to send Bottiger a gift basket and some flowers.

Sure, but that's not Pig Parappa's problem. In regards to being inspired by some map, bear in mind that most if not all new mappers try to do what they already know because it proves to them they can do the same plus they can look at decompiled maps to see how stuff works. You only start to see...

@Bloodpop Take your foot off the gas. This is the person's first map. You don't need to hammer your point.

Congrats on releasing your first map. I hope people enjoy what you made.

With regards to HDR, if you aren't doing anything special with it, perhaps it would be much easier if you just stuck to LDR. You would be saving some map file size because you wouldn't have twice the lightmap data, and you would not need to worry about ensuring the experience is visually...

Thats a surprise. Maybe there is hope for this map then.

I can't say that's the impression I got. I just ignored it because it's pointless wasting time and energy discussing it when I could be focusing on more worthwhile projects. I imagine others did the same because they know that Cream Tea was conscious of making it and in the grand scheme of...

No.

Bottiger won't add maps by SpookyToad.

You might want to hang fire. Apparently there are issues with the point_viewcontrols.

Modifying someone's work without their blessing, when it could so easily be sought, is disrespectful and damages the relationship with the mapper. Ideally you want people to feel like their work is appreciated so they will keep making more stuff for you to play, or might help you out when you...
