Memnite was the first map we ever released for TFC. We thought it was pretty good at the time, but lately we realized that we should re-work and refine the map a little bit. So, that's why we decided to make memnite_r, which means it's the revised version. And we definitely did just that. We fixed and changed many things to be better. The respawns are no longer some goofy rooms, the textures look better...even the rings look better. This revised version is just an overall better map than the original, in our opinion.

The sparking idea for the map was seeing a picture of some "skeeball" type map, and that's what gave us the inspiration to make a map where you have to "go through" something. Memnite was probably what started our trend for making really big maps -- probably too big, but whatever.

The gameplay is fairly simple: Blue and Red fight for control of rings while Yellow snipes everyone. Sniping in this map is definitely a lot of fun as you kill the Blue and Red players flying through the air. And trying to cap the rings is a lot of fun because of the flying. Basically, the flying-through-the-air part is where the map is a lot of fun.

Enough talk, check it out for yourself.

A small dueling map that was made for a mapping contest for The Specialists. We didn't release this map for awhile cause we basically forgot about it. The map is pretty cool to play on with a handful of people -- so, it doesn't have to be a dueling map. There's some entity that exists in The Specialists, but isn't fully implemented yet so this map is just meant for about 6 - 10 people to run around and deathmatch it up.

After a month of hard work (actually more like 2 months if you've been counting since b1 was released), Beta 3 is ready for release. We've made some great changes for b3, like to the computer status lights, info board, messages...oh and of course, the yard has had quite a few changes. The sniper/battlements were completely remade, while still staying somewhat true to the original layout. We also made a few other changes to the yard, like the extra room across the now-walkable arches from the "original" sniper/battlements areas. We also added in the Control Center, but we aren't gonna tell you how to get there...you'll just have to figure that out on your own. So anyway, Beta 3 has been released.

Skayoo is a cool map. It's not like any other map you've played before. Don't go into this map expecting normalness.

The basic idea behind the map's gameplay is to take over the enemy base. You do this by tampering with the enemy computers using their Access Card. There are multiple methods of taking over, which you can see a list of in the map description text file.

Skayoo does have a semi-normal CTF-style gameplay to allow semi-normal TFC gameplay. Even that's not the typical CTF, though; instead, you steal Source Code from the enemy computer lab and upload it to your lab's Source Code computer.

This is by far our favorite map that we've ever made...or that anybody's ever made, for that matter. It's impressive to us that we made this map, so we hope it impresses everyone else who plays it. If we never make another TFC map, this would definitely be the grand finale. In our opinion, it truly is an amazing TFC map, so we hope you enjoy it.

For their work on the custom models, thanks to the following people: Unfor, Dragline, Nine, and Senor. If we left anyone out, please let us know.

Remember that this is still the beta version, so feel free to give us feedback on the map to help make it better.

Something to consider is that we are unable to open TFC, goto the console, and type map skayoo_b3, because TFC crashes. We can create a server on skayoo just fine. But apparently we really are reaching the limits of the HL engine here, so just be aware of that.

Also, expect to see a video for this map soon. Well, I say soon...but who knows when we'll make it. But we're definitely going to make a video of this map.

Yeh...

The next release will either be skayoo_b4 or the final version. That's how close we are to finishing skayoo.
