Where did these props go?

Just loaded up a few theme test maps that I had been working on for the past 2 weeks to notice that they were rather... empty, am I missing something or were these props removed from spark during the last update? If so can someone tell me why?

They were the only real clean-lab style props that had come out as of late and now they are missing, leaving me with the dark and grungy refinery/mineshaft props again.

    They may of been part of another map set which was not meant to be publicly released yet, so were removed. I'm guessing.

    The texture for the nearby wall I was using here is gone, too. Which is a shame because it was a texture that I definitely liked, and was planning to use frequently.

    Lets hope it comes back soon like the shower props did.

    Just for the record -- you shouldn't go through this again. Max has put a new system in place which prevents stuff that shouldn't be seen by the general public from leaking out, and teasing everybody.

    So they were never meant to be released in the first place?

    Those props are new to me, they must have been accidentally released only in a recent update.

    They have been there for a few builds, in 198 they changed the colour of them slightly.

    An I feel like I been teased if they were never meant to be released in the first place, I was very impressed with the props and hope they are released to us soon.

    These props were being designed for my map NS2_Descent. They were accidentally left in and released. This is why they changed color, because we were still working with the prop artist to adjust them. I'm not sure we will be able to release these any time soon, as was stated, it was just an error that wasnt caught in time...

    Ah fair enough, was just really confused when I sat down with my coffee to crack on with it to find all I had was a floor and a load of lights in mid air lol.

    I'll just have to be a bit patient for them to be released, looking forward to seeing Descent.

    Textures/props/whatever should not be leaked then removed.

    It only makes us angry.

    Same thing happened to me. I think they're some of the better wall models released yet. That dark blueish texture was pretty useful too.

    Naw it's understandable, although almost all of what I was in the middle of designing has gone an disappeared, at least I know where the props went to and that the assets will be available in the future.

    'clean lab' style maps and props are probably a little bit experimental so-to-speak anyways. Most of the design docs and style guides suggest toward the more grungy feel. However, your test map there is very nice. Keep at it!

    ps nice avatar.

    I've been trying to get a decent clean-lab theme look for a while, experimenting with a combination of textures, props and lighting to achieve something that didn't resemble the current maps in development, those props, when they first were accidentally released, were exactly what I was looking for so I started a few test maps, a few 'areas' to see what I could do with them (lighting, style e.t.c.). Unfortunately since they were never meant to be released to us in the first place I'll have to wait for them to be publicly released to us so I can continue with it.

    An thanks ;), think your the first person to mention the avatar.

    Yeah, Descent will be official, but with changes. Although generally it should still feel like the same layout, there are mostly thematic changes, which also will affect the layout in some ways. I had to scrap a pretty large portion of it to make these changes, so the map wont be done for a while, but it should be good when it is :)
