TF2 Mapping - Last CP for payload wont show on HUD

[mitterdoo]

My map is still bugged. I tried to test the roll-forward and rollback zones, but something went wrong: The train stops when I stop pushing it when it's in a rollback zone, meaning it wont roll back or forth. Any help? If you want to see it yourself, here's the BSP [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?x11893m265soik3[/url]
The VMF to try to fix it is here: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?hi2yy1k03hkract[/url]

Here's a pic of what it looks like when nobody's pushing it, it's in the rollback zone, and it sits still.

Please tell me pl_bigcity isn't just going to be gm_bigcity with a payload track.

First off we do have a thread for this stuff! [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1040095-TF2-Section-Mapping-Thread[/url].

Secondly save yourself the time, pain, and go download this: [url]http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=4674[/url]

It will supply you with a prefab pl_badwater setup with everything already working.

Well, if you look at the map of pl_metropolis, I think the buildings would be like the textures. Also, the track would start underground, go to the surface, go downhill capping various checkpoints, then capture the final terminus.

Have fun crashing every time you compile.

Seems about right.

[mitterdoo]

So pissed that the site is down. I'm not waiting 6 hours after I wake up in the damn morning. What the hell is up with TF2's site connection? HUH? I WANT FUCKING ON YOUR DAMN SITE

[Political Gamer]

Dude chill out, the web-server is has been having some problems and sporadically goes down for random people. Try again tomorrow, its not like your map [i]needs[/i] to be done today.

[mitterdoo]

Please, I need a direct link to the download! I really need to see if I can truly make a payload map! >:C

Anger =/= solutions, or any form of assistance for that matter.

Politeness goes a long way in persuading people to help you, you know. (Also, I recommend ditching the text smilies, most people on these forums tend to have an issue with them.)

Thanks.

Okay, so I downloaded the program and installed the files. Now, how does it help me get the spawns right and get the last CP to show on my HUD?

What're you talking about.

Also, mitterdoo, you aren't actually using the gmod bigcity map, right?

Haven't figured out if I should use the gmod one or start from scratch. Besides, I'm still working on my testing of making a payload map

[xpod1]

make a tinyass test map with an operating payload track to make sure you know what the fuck you're doing

then start on a map

thats what i did for literally everything i know now

[mitterdoo]

Well, I got it working. I just gotta remember to list ALL of the CPs on the capture master. Srry.

No, I got the last CP to show on my HUD.

[mitterdoo]

I still haven't found out how to get the spawns to work :C

[xpod1]

i would have given you so much shit if the wiki for this wasnt down

[Purple Magpie]

[QUOTE=mitterdoo;27379000]I still haven't found out how to get the spawns to work :C[/QUOTE]

The most basic thing you should know as a beginner mapper, is that if you can't figure out how something works... [i]play with buttons[/i]. If your map crashes after a compile, obviously you played with the wrong buttons. Do it again until it doesn't crash, and figure out what it changed.

[QUOTE=xpod1;27379747]i would have given you so much shit if the wiki for this wasnt down[/QUOTE]

The wiki is back up. Can you help me with the spawns please?

For some reason, the wiki keeps loosing and regaining its connection. But still, I've read the TF2 spawn section but it doesn't say anything about spawning always in red.

COME [B]ON![/B] I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE MY MAP SPAWNS WORK OKAY! I just don't want to be making my map, and the blue team spawning in the red spawn, getting stuck in the red spawnroom. Ever since I tested the map I'd always spawn in the red spawnroom. Just PLEASE help me

Put your logic in the middle of a map, by a main capture point, or just somewhere obvious.
You do [I]not[/I] want to forget where it is.

Read top, because there's a new problem now :(
