Hello its time for another summer map contest.

This time the contest is mini map so be creative with the small space


Rules...
Max map size is 200 x 200
Can be CTF FFA RH(rabbit hunt) KOTH(king of the hill) ZOM(Zombie match) RACE(Race) OBT(Obstacle course) etc.
Judging will be with the community (each posting their votes in the topic) at the (end off August.
Bz 2.4 maps are only allowed if bz 2.4 comes out before the end of August (which I believe it does)


that about sums it up.... oh and here is a link to last year's contest

I'm gonna get into this one.
The only thing different {for mappers} in 2.4 will be per-object ricochet. That's right, you can turn ricochet on and off, per object.

You can turn ricochet on per object, but not specifically off. So if you want just a single object to not rico, you have to turn off ricochet globally (don't specify -r in the configuration) and then add the 'ricochet' settings for every object except that one.

are the vertical teleporters not making it in to 2.4?

You mean horizontal teleporters... No.
Hopefully 2.4.2 will arrive fairly soon after 2.4.0.

Ok...

I probably should clarify... when i say map size 200 x 200 or smaller I mean the code
not 200 units on each side (that would be 100 x 100 (however if you want your map that small feel free))

And what does 2.4.2 have to do with horizontal teleporters? It wouldn't be in that version either, nor any 2.4.x version.

hopefully if i have time i can submit a map to be judged.
