Try TF2Maps.net, got a server there for testing maps and a lot of people willing to help.

Any ETA on those snow-covered prop variants?

Can we get separate static props for tank hull and turret? Those would be handy for us mappers.

That seemg fine. Definitely better than current name.

I put the map on hold for now though. It's been pissing me off lately.

Another question regarding future supply drop updates: any plans on making snow covered variants of some of the current props?

Is there a way to stop KOTH counters for both teams?

This is the best place to learn mapping for source. There's a basic tutorial available as well as extensive documentation for all stuff Source.

Theres also interlopers.net and twhl.info sites. You can find some more intermediate tutorials there as well.

Can we get ideal light_environment settings for these new skyboxes?

I made a few signs for my map and I guess they would be fine for people to use in their maps as well:

Gotta make more skins for it yet, but its something.

Well, at the moment I am making a Payload-Map with the Frontline-Pack but instead of using the C.A.R.T. I am actuall using a animated Tank as a Payload. So I want go give it the move_slow animation when someone is on the Tank but also want it to play the idle animation when noone is on the Tank. How to do that?

I wish Valve added a prop_payload_repairable entity. I could recreate some of the maps from Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory in TF2.

the Frontline_supply_drop V1.0 and the Frontline Thumb from the website, its just not showing me the files when i try to open them on hammer

You dont load the files from the pack, you put the folder in your tf/custom folder and voilla' all the assets from the pack are available for use.
