New map: Abandoned Prison

Hi, some of you might know me from the prophunt server. I freaking love prophunt! Lately I haven't been playing much because I was making my very first map. It's loosely based on a real abandoned prison which I've visited, for comparison you can check it out here: http://www.basdemos.com/the-prison/

It took me a few months to find my way around Hammer, crafting the map and fixing all the quirks, so I hope it's fun to play in! As a photographer I mainly focussed on looks, but I also added ledges (I'm more of a high-up player, not the 'hiding between lots of the same shit' kind), secret rooms and some fun/weird stuff. I could show all the features to an admin in-game if that's preferred, but I guess it's more fun to discover for yourself.

I really don't know if I packed it right and I wasn't able to test the map with prophunt (playability, game logic), and I don't know what the procedure is for getting a map on the server so if anyone can guide me a bit, please feel free to do so

Here are the .bsp and .cfg:

Your name makes me hungry. /o\

 

I haven't tested it yet, but one suggestion is to make the filenames for map / config all lowercase letters.

Edit: The reason for this is that although Windows doesn't care about lowercase/uppercase differences, Linux does.

As such, whenever I distribute maps and/or config files, I rename them to lowercase.

 

I know right

Thanks, I had found out about it, tried to resave my map all lower case, but the lower case filename would be overwritten to the old situation for some reason. Do you think it's really important?

 

I've seen odd issues with map-related plugins if you use maps that have characters that aren't uppercase.

It's also traditional to have map filenames for PropHunt start with ph_, but it's not actually required.

 

This was already mentioned on Disc-FF, but the tf_logic_arena entity appears to be absent.

 

Thanks Powerlord, I've fixed it and changed some other things:

- Shortened the wings, removing a total of 24 cells
- Closed some more cell doors
- Added some more props
- No collision on theater curtains
- Window in courtyard breaks on touch
- Added info_observer_points (spectator cameras)
- Round time is now 300s
- Added some props in the config
- Added light in room next to courtyard

And to address the problem of dead ends I created some more passages:
- One cell in red wing now has a passage to the cell below it
- Door of operation room is passable from the inside
- Added small 'dressing room' connecting theater stage with hallway

I'll have to look at it later. I just got home from an eye appointment and my eyes are all dialated and stuff.

On a side note, you should probably rename the config file since it no longer matches the map name.

 

Woops, you're right, this is the right one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4jor70lzk9q6w1e/ph_abandoned_prison_v2.cfg?dl=0
