Extra talk about Captain's Map

So this is just for something to let the map maker know about......I have a few ideas myself...
1. Maybe for the Spycrabbing room lower the side walls for other spies to see other spies?
2. The benches which are props are kind of "unsolid" curious if it's possible to make solid?
3. For the tether, maybe make it airblastable?
4. For tether, make the door possible to be closed by admins/mods/owners and such?
5. Maybe make another door at the very front of the spawns? Just a suggestion

Hope you take these into consideration Captain.

this exists for a reason genius
(the reason is so that bubbles can ignore your suggestions because she and her map are perfect already)

Hey crash, I suggested deanoo make this thread because that one is running to the seams with period blood. lets not splatter any more over here, okay?

My suggestions:

some of the props block the corners of the corridor and in one corner totally prevent you from passing through. these pathways exist for a reason and you should be able to run through them without trouble. I'd remove any props in the corridor corners that block the player.

A while back i suggested you add a func_push to the pit to annoy people who got close to the edge. People didn't see the humor in it that i did, and understandably it may make sense to remove that so people can move around in the center more freely. due to its size it is a bit difficult to have a decent fight in there without instant death. I like the layout, but i think it just needs to be a slightly bigger area.

Have you experimented with custom textures at all? It is easy enough to make some, or to extract them from a mod/another game/grab some off of google. You used the stock textures well, but a coat of modern paint MIGHT give the map some more life.

The HHH could spawn where it is, within a glass room locked from the outside, meaning it wont interrupt boxing or spycrabbing unless it is let out of its pen.

Other than that, your update seems to be going in the right direction.

I reduced the size of the fan suck in, and made it a little more lifelike.

Im not changing the size of the map, that seriously would take a shitton of time and effort to resize everything and reposition everything, it may potentially (most fucking definitely, fuckhammer) break the map.

and the props in the corners are gone or no longer block passage.

if it's too much effort to resize everything in the map, it clearly shows you've gone overboard with props
