Triad - Oscillation UNDERthruster For All!

Post by LouMan »

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.

Awesome Job :) I really liked it but I couldn't stay long my lag was unexpectadly rising :?

If your new to the server, I suggest not using Laser once on the top floors. ;) I say don't but I know you just will...

I highly reccomend this server, with the small exception of some minor spawn camping/flag camping when I was there. That could end once an administrator arrives.

Very nice job. :)

My first thought was that it seemed to be a condensation of "The Hive"
It's just my opinion, but I like action to be as fast as possible, I say the map should be shrunk by a third or even 50 percent. Maybe put teles on the high towers. Think 6 to 9 players.
The way ricochet action can be seperated into inside-outside the triangles is an entirely new concept.
Object transperancey is done logicly and in a way that doesnt require much thought by players, a very good thing.
I think it's great that you threw somethig together quickly and put it up for a play-test without adding bells and whistles.
Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.

Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

I played this map (By myself lol), and it's nice. You can jump on top to stay, and the openings to tracks are neat. I just wish more people came to your servers...There's so many great ones.
The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword.

Okay, you get a Bic, the orc gets a long sword.

He cuts the Bic in half.

Then he cuts you in half.

Oops, I meant quarters.
