Downloaded the maps, but is this right? > pl_vesper_b4.bsp_ Â is the underscore supposed be there? downloaded it from their site .
Hmm, it should extract to a normal .bsp. Â My site adds an underscore onto my .bsp.bz2 files...
I appreciate all feedback!
And ports or not, those maps took a while to make!

Oh I know they take a long time, anything in hammer, even a port from scratch, takes a lot of work
As for feedback, the two points we got hung up on were that one part where the cart goes up into the little house and then down again, but there's a pretty clear flanking route to get around to the far left (offense's perspective), the team was just really bad at pushing.
The last point was a bit difficult to push, but I felt it was appropriate given that most PL maps have a more challenging last point.
Aesthetically and frame rate wise the map was great, definitely the best of the bunch last night. I think we'd need to do more playtesting to form a better opinion, give some time for a few people like Moosendoo or TraceDarkwind to find any odd map exploits or ridiculous sentry nest locations.
If you don't have another version by next Tuesday we'll give this another go, Id say Friday but I think half the server regulars will be at a convention.

Thanks for the feedback.  I actually have a TODO list going for the map that I'm eventually getting to.  One of the things I'm looking at is making the CP2 area less "catwalk-y".  One thing  is the right route (BLU's perspective), which I'd like to make more of a platform for attacking than a narrower catwalk.
The map is entered into the TF2maps.net dynamic payload contest which ends on April 30th. Â I can make changes throughout the week if needed.
After the contest I plan on continuing work on it to make it as good as I can. Â A lot of good feedback comes out of those contests too, usually.
