I just got back from a trip to France and Italy, and I must say the building on this map really captured the feeling of some of the older train stations and train yards I passed through over there. Great job on the art

R O T U N D A!!!!

Hey there is a train in here

train

Yes.

Is this map still getting updated?

rotunda!

i love rotunda !!!!!!!!!

the map looks good but the gameplay ain't enjoyable

Neat map, but the performance suffers greatly for me when going around and looking at the mid point.

German Class 81 @mazdental

what calss of train is the one on the thumbnail

for example. the wooden ramps in the outer ring of the central area on blue side. should be replaced with metal and chain-link-fence/metal panels etc... (keep the red as its. it perfect). the corroded green copper walls in the outer ring of the central point (one with the team signs) i think the red side should get copper colored metal panel wall on it side and the green be for the blue because it's closer looking to blue then red. the exposed brick arches on the blue side should be painted blue more but the paint is decaying to show the brick inside, so they theme of the map can stay the same (keep it for red) as also some wood buried in the pit for the red side and blue scrap on the blue.

Sorry for the long comment, I only made this comment because i kept confused on which side of the map i am at. the map has no real problems because of it design. so we still can find enemies and ways to get into the point. [p2]

One of my favorite koth maps and really well made/designed and good looking map too (too bad the central point don't spin).

Tho i have one problem with it. the use of red brick and wood are fitting for the building and theme of this map but i kept getting confused on which side of the map i am because of that. the map being circular and symmetrical mean it's less of a problem. but wood and red bricks are strictly used in tf2 as the red team theme. i know the map is team colored but the different themes of wooden for red and industrial metal for blue. really help distinguish them and help you tell on which side you are in. i know the map have few things help you tell in which side you are in but few elements do confused me (keep in mind it's not big of problem especially in this map) [p1]

looking forward to seeing it i'm a big train nut

BR 81. Video about it coming next week.

I'm curious as to what the tank engines are modeled off of. Obvs they're German but what locomotive exactly

Thanks for the info. I'll investigate, but I suspect this is something Valve needs to fix. If I can find out more, I will send them a bug report. Again, thank you for reporting this.

@Brokkhouse it crashed right about when the round was ending, and I don't have any mods or configs enabled.

@Cudcuddly, did it crash on loading the map or while you were playing? Are you running a performance config or any mods?

So earlier today game crashed on this map like Hardwood crash.

yeah it is allowed with proper crediting of course. we are planning to make an update for the resource pack that was posted on tf2maps site so wait patiently!

Such an amazing map, I love it! I do have a question though. Since the map is now in-game, is it okay to use the custom assets that were made for this map? Also, if the use is allowed (with crediting of course), are the assets going to show up in the Hammer Editor? also.

<3

Such a beautiful map!

Thank you so much, everyone!

I really enjoy the use of green in this map as well as the moody indoor lighting. Definitely a new favorite!

we are glad you like it, souls and efforts of many people were put into its creation

Hey developers of this map, i wanna thank your job cause this is one of my fav maps of the summer update

i like trains

train

Ayy lmao

rekt lmao

Damn guess I was wrong

Clearly we must add more snow

who knows

Cool map bro but I doubt it'll get accepted with the snow

In the 1960s, my grampa gave me a wonderful folio book with draftsman drawings of rail cars. One of my favorite pages was the well car that you modeled.

"replace the American wagons with thematically fitting custom"
... execpt for the one German one that has been in the game since Launch ...

Don't get me wrong, the playback is great, just so hard to hear under game conditions.

@Mikado282
I mean, the number on the model itself is literally 81 XXX, lol.

Regarding the cargo wagon sounds, I admit the sounds are kind of half-assed. It's the three stock TF2 train sounds, assigned to each second car, repeating. It's not super accurate, but I'm not 100% happy with this detail in general, as the map is set in Germany but we lacked the time to replace the American wagons with thematically fitting custom ones.

@Brokkhouse I know it is a DB Class 81. I think it should be obious why I would have prefered a Class 86.

Apparently, I also I tricked you into revealing that you modeled the 81 so we can mention it on the wiki page under the new Trivia rule when this gets added. :)=

Regarding the moving freights. If one listens close enough, one can hear the suggestion of wheel noises. I would hope that the wheel noises would not be so hard to hear, maybe just loud enough to mask a decloak. I thought I made out a bit of intermittent rail joint noise but had to turn the volume up to where the Announcer responces are way too loud. An occasional passing flat spot (slow "bang-bang-bang-bang") would be a nice touch.

@Mikado282, this locomotive is based on the German Model 81, which has a 0-8-0T configuration, without leading and trailing axis. We modified some details to make it more suitable for gameplay, but the axis configuration corresponds to the real world model. Hope that helps.

Finally, steam locomotive models can be added to the published maps, BUT, why are the leading axil and trailling axil missing?!?!?!?

Stuff you said makes me feel like you have played the map only a few rounds at best. Layout is as simple as it can be, basically being a circle in the middle with two paths from each spawn that lead to it and an underground path to the center as well. It gets intuitive if you play it more than twice. Getting to the main gameplay area takes 15-20 seconds at best. Open sightlines is not a unique feature our map is first to introduce. For some reason almost whole your "analysis" simply doesn't seem to be true

Does not work with tf_bots for some reason.

I haven't touched TF2 in years. I don't even like the game. I don't even like one of the devs of this map, a man by the name of Kas, who I know beats the homeless/unhouses with socks full of pennies just to feel something. But I will support him and all of his endeavors, especially when it comes to creating TF2 maps and beating the homeless/unhoused with socks full of pennies.

there I am gary! there I am!
