Knox V3 - CTF Style Map

McSpider · Post by **McSpider** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:56 am

Hi,
This is my first CTF map.
It has two bases Purple & Blue which are placed at opposite corners of the map.
You can play above and below ground. Kinda like in Japanese Castles (By Nene-chan).
For more info see screenshot.

Suggestions are welcome. So is criticism.

Please provide a license for your map.

For more information: BEFORE POSTING A MAP: Map Licenses

Once you have that, I would be willing to provide hosting if it's not already up somewhere.

I updated my first post to include the license.
Thanks

I have this map up and running at bzexcess.com port 5300.

I did notice a bit of an issue where you get sealed in a box, as show in this screenshot below. Haven't noticed anything other than that. Very cool looking map.

Thanks I fixed it.

You still get sealed in the wall area.

Is the server hosting the new map version?

By the way has anybody else noticed that you hang/get stuck in the teleporters ?
You can get through if you jump, but thats not right.

Maybe its just me.
Any Ideas how I can fix it ?

Post by **blast** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 6:08 pm

I have not yet updated the map. I will do so when I get home.

As for the teleporter issue, I think the the usual fix is to lower the teleporter slightly under the surface.

Thanks for the feedback.
The teleporters should be fixed.

I moved them down.
They worked for a while then stopped.

Okay, I have the latest version (2.1) of the map up and running.

McSpider · Post by **McSpider** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 11:28 pm

I just uploaded version 3.
Changed the underground to lots of X es.
Added an chamber to the outer corner buildings.

Post by **blast** » Sat Jun 20, 2009 4:59 am

I updated the server with the latest version of the map.

is the bug were you get stuck if driving on the "sniping wall" before base fixed?

On the other hand, nice job

i like it very much, thought it isn't getting that much played at all

McSpider · Post by **McSpider** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:10 pm

Could you describe or post a screenshot of the location in question.
Is it the area bambino described ? If yes then its fixed.

Have you tried it at the bzexcess.com server? I'm running the latest version there. zaphod might be running an older version on his.

blast is right ::: bzflag.fr was not up to date with the map!
(a PM about updates would be nice because I am not here every day)
but its up to date now and running version 3! bug-free I hope!

BZExcess's version still gets you sealed, and most likely zaphod's version.

see screenie

set maxBumpHeight to 1?!
try it on 001.bzflag.fr:5142
it seems to work .....?!
disadvantage ::: you don't have to take the risk in jumping to get in sniper-position behind the wall!
but not the "real" solution to solve the problem ::: I guess you have to put the ground-box on/in the floor a bit higher to make it a "real" box for the tank? but that alters the vertical wall too and would need a lot of changes in the map-file!
