Why create it from scratch? Just rip from smalltown, then add a little bit of sparkle onto it, Green won't notice a thing!

Technically it is created from scratch, as this being the first time ever using the hammer engine I feel like using a template from the beloved map 'smalltown' that we all know. The only aspects from the map that have actually been used are the base floor and towers, but if you are going at it like that then you could say any small map created with some towers on each end and a few walls are a rip off from 'smalltown'. This map is very basic at the moment with few details because I'm still getting the hang of the engine, I'm currently asking around for ideas on what people would like to see inside of the map aswell, so far the map includes a Secret room with a spray of my profile picture, a main building inside the middle of the map with 2 walls either side of the building that lead too two different towers, the building does not have a enclosed roof because I feel the towers would be deemed pointless because the map is so small you wouldn't be able to find people in the open to free willing kill.
However I do feel where you are coming from, changes will be implemented if need be, but at the moment things will stay this way, I'm hoping to finish up this alpha version soon, What is left for this current state of first release is to finalize the spawns of TTT weapons/ grenades and placing enough spawn points for the server max capacity, the V1 will be vanilla also has been renamed too ttt_ambush_v1. Hopefully if all goes to plan and with talks to the server owner Hamilton test runs on the server should be up by the end of the night or further on in the week when the population is low to not cause havoc upon the server.

Update, One version of the map is currently on the server, how ever there is now a new version that I have made, screenshots are posted below. Changes: Map lighting - I have added an appropriate form of lighting for the map now, including shadows and more realistic environmental lighting. Added more props - Included more props plotted around the map, including a car crashed area, and a shipping container at the back of the map where it was a bit empty. Fixed pool - I haven't really taken much time into learning the water systems and that but I have made a basic pool with updated textures so you can actually tell that there is water there now. Tower extended - The center tower I felt was a little bit too low for a 'main tower' so I have extended it's height to basically the maximum that I can for the already existing map boundaries. Stairs - I have corrected the stairs with the clipping tool so now instead of a random headbob when walking up the stairs inside the center building it is a smooth glide up and down them.
