Been running around the map for the past couple minutes. You've done a really good job with this, and, of course, it's always nice to see some non-desert maps in TF2. Also, the presents scattered around the maps are a nice touch. Always love it when maps have little easter egg-esque things.

I played a game with some bots and it looks really nice, I wish this was official.

Great work, if my local server had this, I'd never play the regular one again. I actually thought that the first screenshot was from sawmill, it's that good.

While generally visually interesting, I must say there are a large number of plain walls. This is one thing that was highlighted alot, and perhaps something you should consider.

Ok Valve, now it's time to add Styles to MAPS!

[QUOTE=Smashman;29855901]While generally visually interesting, I must say there are a large number of plain walls. This is one thing that was highlighted alot, and perhaps something you should consider.[/QUOTE] I will consider this for release 1.2. Thanks!

There a server running this?

Fuck yes

I [I]love love love[/I] TF2's green theme. A good server with forest'd up original maps would go into my favourites faster than you can say Robin Walker.

Oooh, this is so pretty! I'll be setting up a server in a month or two for a few friends to play in, and this is definitely getting into the rotation.

Just learned that gamebanana moved the map from the tf2 section to the awp section. say what? since changed it back but let's see if that sticks Thanks for all the comments, guys, really means a lot to me.

I have no idea why youtube sped it up, but here's a video of what happens when you stick this map in SFM. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydAV2VB616A[/media]

If it's an issue with SFM being too old, you said it doesn't work exactly right since the goldrush update, then is there anything I can do to fix that?

[QUOTE=TheJoey;29888047]If it's an issue with SFM being too old, you said it doesn't work exactly right since the goldrush update, then is there anything I can do to fix that?[/QUOTE] Not quite "working exactly right", it's just that Valve updated the VTF version used in TF2 during the goldrush update, so SFM uses a version older than that of modern TF2. I believe there's a tutorial on how to get the materials working, but as to particles I have no clue at all.

Are you gonna be changing the theme of any other maps? This looks fantastic!

It may be bundled with release 1.2 as the "SFM compatible now with more detail props" update.

Some maps have been done to death, like 2fort. I would however ultimately like to take what I've learned from this experience and try making something original in the future. EDIT: meanwhile, i've added lushbowl to tf2maps, but since I can't seem to find an exe that converts bsp to bz2 I just linked from my dropbox link on their site. [url=http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=4674]it's here if you wanted to take a look anyway[/url]

Nice map, I'd like to try this out if any servers run it.

Listening now to the Kritzkast episode that mentions Lushbowl. Thanks so much Agro, Chronos and Tempest for the mention! I listen to the podcast every new episode and hearing you guys talk about it gives me the jibblies. I'm super honored! Link to that episode is in the op.

Where could I find the server that plays this beauty?

I would say try the Kritzkast custom rotation server. Hopefully they have added in the newest version without the pink reflections. If anyone else can find any servers running this they're more than welcome to post that info here.

I'll ask around for the ip, I can't recall it off the top of my head. [editline]alskdfjsdf[/editline] Found it: 173.255.224.253:27015

Holy shit. Submit this to valve, it looks great.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;29929404]I would say try the Kritzkast custom rotation server.

It's still named the same as the old version though, so if you've got that you'll need to delete the map from your local folder b4 the new one'll download.

I think our advanced weaponiser and prophunt servers are set to sv_pure 2 though. But they currently aren't running this map.

Hm. Lushbowl freezes TF2 on loading for me.

I thought Valve took care of the wallhacks or is texture mods only blocked by Sv_Pure 2?
