RIP to the download link

How do I play this? Is there a server still running this?

Find a better file provider like google drive or drop box.

@Tamari -- On April 1st there was an announcement about third-party event called "Operation Starched Silliness". Here's a link to a Steam page announcement:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/440/view/3011193830022924808 .
That happened, that one of the missions include your map, but meme-fied.
In short, this event is April-Fools-day based mvm tour with joke waves and meme activity. There is a promise, if you complete at least 6 missions out of 7, you'll earn a promotional medal.
Anyway, i like your map :)

@Pyronicorn -- thank you! What memes btw lol

@E4zyGrom -- thanks!
What is this operation you speak of? Never heard of it and would be interested in checking it out :O

this map was awesome to play on even with the memes

Came here after Starched Silliness Operation.
I just want to tell you, that your map rocks :)

You have a good point, irritatingly I can't get it to work though, I'm probably just doing something wrong.

If you weren't allowed to use this map, I wouldn't have released it :) Feel free to use it lol

I'll use this map on my custom server, if it needs permission, please tell me, and I'll ask, despite eh, y'know, I guess, thanks.

This is one of my favorite MVM maps, try and make more as good as this!

@ Cheezymiller
I agree with you. This map should be added in Iron Gauntlet

that looks badass

you should add this into Iron Gauntlet

yes

I got it! It was because I did not have a mission called "mvm_oilrig_rc3.pop". It does not matter if it comes from the official missions or not (so long as the mission is compatible with the map); a file simply has to exist with that name in the population folder because of the update.

Code Slasher -

Either put the vpk inside /tf/, or if that doesn't work, use GCFScape to extract the /materials/hud folder, /scripts/population folder, and /maps/ folder.

Put the nav inside /tf/maps.
Put the pop files inside /tf/scripts/population.
Put the vmt & vtf files in /tf/materials/hud.

Restart the map and it should load.

If you have a Wave 0 error it either means missing nav or missing pop files.

I see. I'll see what I can do, most of the times when I try to embed the nav into the bsp it just corrupts it

Yeah, I have already tried that, and most of my server's custom maps broke with a recent update by Valve. Basically, I think my broken maps are the ones that do not have embedded nav files, a.k.a. maps that do not have them inside the bsp. Any way you could possibly embed the nav file into the bsp?

Code Slasher -

Hey, no worries! I have to be honest with ya. I have no clue how servers work with VPKs in TF2. The VPK link I have at the top is strictly a client-side package.

I would assume that it'd be similar to the way a client installs them (tf/custom) but I'm assuming you already tried that on your server.
If all else fails, what you could do is use GCFScape to extract files out of the vpk and manually load those onto the server and your FastDL redirect if you have one. It's a less desirable solution for sure though.

Sorry I can't be of more help

Hey, sorry for being such a newb when it comes to workshop maps, but how do I get the vpk to initialize on a dedicated server? I keep ending up with Wave 0.

I've played on this map before! it was a breath of fresh air, since there are so few mvm maps

@Hydrogen

I was wondering when someone would say that. Admittedly, it is very similar to Decoy, although I didnt create it with that intention in mind. I only realized after I finished the map.

Either way though, this was a test map for me to see if I could create something for MvM. And to test custom robots. Figured I'd upload it here anyway since some might enjoy it.

I will be making more in the future that will utilize their own layout and (possibly) theme.

Thank you for the feedback!

Although it is a very pretty map (like I said earlier), it does really have the same shape and layout as mvm_decoy does, almost as if decoy was decompiled and then retextured to fit the oilrig theme. (Not saying this is what you did, but there are a lot of similarities.)

As a guess, if you want this to be considered to be in the game, perhaps make the robots utilize more of the oilrig infrastructure, like walking up the stairs and such? (Although it would be problematic for giants.) Otherwise, it's as if you can copy decoy's pop files over here and it will play almost-exactly the same way (bar the lack of engineer support).

Most of the map is unused during the actual wave, especially that pit to the ocean, which is not easily usable to send robots into. It's nice to walk around during round setup and maybe put a sentry gun on one of the platforms high up there (questionable but can work), but that's about it.

Looks Amazing, Valve should add this in Next MvM Update (IF there will be, for now we'll just have TF:GO ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We need more MVM maps.

Now there is an intresting idea. THouhg it should be a gravel rig :)

GRAVEL WILL POWER THE WORLDS STEAM ENGINES!!!

Valve should add this map to Team Fortress

this reminds me of blacklight :/

lots and lots of layers. if you have 2 or maby even 3 stories its fine, but only once. This many is just to much for a mvm map. altough it has a nice and clean texture i would give it a 3.8 out of 5 star rating (my opinion don't go hating)

roses are red violets are blue u came for the screw and soo did u

Grey Mann has located ... ...and blow up our top secret base, guess its a normal base now :D

Umm, hell yes

I really want to play this map

nice

Damn, looks nice.

The Fog is awesome!

:-)

:D nice map :D

I love this map, especially the boss wave in the end. Please help approving it to be accepted for the game!

This map is really nice in term of details. I did not have the occasion to play the waves to the end, but I'll give some feedbacks about it when I can

Played here some time ago, had a blast playing on it.

a good map
i like it

I played this map over 2 years ago. 10/10 one of the most pretty (prettiest?) MvM maps out there.
