Awesome map Spazzy; I would expect nothing less ;)

Very good modeling - I especially enjoy the domes, skylights and the creative use of drawInfo for the center platforms and jets supporting them.

Yay! :) :)

The original post's map file has been updated one more time to Revision 1.2. I made the hidden physics drivers on the mountains inactive; they were not a very fair feature for a CTF map.

Thank you :)

Thank you for all of the kind words :)

Note that I have updated the map file in the original post to Revision 1.1.

Changes:

1) Fixed a team flag drop vulnerability, and
2) Added "_maxFlagGrabs 1" parameter to help with flag distribution.

Revision 1 Update

I have updated the original post's map file to Revision 1. Changes were minor: 1) Made bases symmetrical across map. 2) Removed Narrow flag (causes too many issues with mesh type maps). 3) Made maximum players 12 + 12 for lag issues. 4) Increased world size very slightly (rico issues in tunnels). 5)...

Channel Crossing

I've always enjoyed rabbit hunt and I agree that it can be frustrating as a single rabbit against 15+ hunters. I've just completed a plugin that might give that cute rabbit some additional teeth, called 'rabidrabbit'. Basically, it will set up certain areas of the map to be the rabbit's burrow - if ...

High Rise Havoc

Attached is a new map called High Rise Havoc that I threw together in the past few days (I finally had a little bit of free time). It's a 2 team CTF between 2 opposing, semi-constructed buildings on 2 islands. It's a mostly vertical map with 16 floors. To run the map, you'll need to save the attache...

Triad - Oscillation UNDERthruster For All!

Attached is map file and a few screenshots of my latest map called "Triad". It is an experiment in drivethrough walls/ceilings, but not shootthrough. Gameplay is kinda different and takes some getting used to. It is currently hosted at bzflag3.norang.ca:5168.

I have updated the map to R2 in the original post.

I added my desktop, due to popular demand. I also fixed the flag behind the living room TV issue and added a surface at ground level to whisk away those that fall thru floor to ground level (usually by intentionally induced lag/jitter).

There is smoothing on the toilets - unfortunately the 'real' texture of porcelain does not have that many contrasts in it. I tried to add a little texturing contrast to them, without making them look totally unrealistic. Win Wp: regarding your radar - try it in 'enhanced' mode, it looks a little bet...

Unless I decide otherwise, it will take a normal tank jump to reach the surface of the kitchen table and another jump (less high) to reach the countertops. The countertops (as it stands right now) cannot be reached by a single jump. The countertops are about 20 units (meters) up from the floor.
