~ Loading Screen and MOTD Map Previews (v1) ~

[statyk]

So being picky, and forgetful at times, I find myself switching maps in servers and occasionally forgetting where I'm going. So I decided to make a small mod that shows images I took of various maps (mostly popular ones or ones I could think of off the top of my head) during the loading and motd screens as you would see in default TF2 maps. It's a bit more of a challenge making than I thought, primarily from trying to find good angles and shots (maps like jump_quba are just painful to try and locate a good comp), so it's going to take awhile to get most of the maps I want in here. I don't plan to get every single one... But here's version 1 for anyone who'd like to spice up their jump experience a teeny bit =]

NOTE:
If you have any map suggestions you feel are worthwhile adding that I have forgotten, please drop a message here listing them. I know I left demoman out of this version because I don't play him, therefore I'm not aware of which maps are good and which are not. So if you'd like demo maps in v2, drop the list here!

Really nice, good job

Really nice, good job

Would love to see more maps.

I shall be doing more soon, but I'd like to get suggestions on demo maps. I only plan on doing the more popular types to save me time and effort and want to know which demo maps are worth doing. I don't play him, so I'm not sure which are.

Good work!  We'll probably use your screenshots for whatever maps you end up doing in the map list project, so do as many as you want in the list that Torii linked .  Once I'm done finding videos for all the maps that have them I'll switch to doing screenshots, and you can add the ones you don't have to your MOTD thing if you want.

Sounds like a nifty plan

If you want, when I'm done with this and you want the map photos, I can send you a zip file of each as a transparency png so you don't have to have the black backgrounds or go through the hassle of exporting each and every one from the vtf.

[Rokio]

If you can just keep files of the raw screenshots for each map, whether they are png or jpeg or whatever, that would be cool.  The quality doesn't really matter all that much in the end.  I just want to have like 4+ basic screenshots of each map to give a feel for them when they are all in the list.
