a map by ME!!!

Post by brad2901 »

Please could you tell me how good or bad this map is? I'm already expecting the obvious answer from scorch :) (*cough* map sucks *cough). If you actually do like it which i think you won't, plz give me some credit :)

not a bad design. Tho I'm not a fan of the steped pyramids.

what's up with the Teleporter platforms way up in the sky? what do they add to the map?

ur map

Post by sid6.7 »

not bad....i kinda like the 3 tier tele thing, fooled me at first...

1 thing for you new? guys making maps "generally"
"not always" if it takes more then 3 jumps to get
up to the top of something people wont like it.....

its okay to jump 3 times then go accross a platform or
bridge...jump up 3 more times...etc...etc..or jump 3
times go thru tele jump 3 more...

but if its a series of jumps all in a row it can become
to cumbersome to move around your map smoothly...

such as a 10 tiered pyr...

this is just what ive learned from some of the "really" old map makers when i first started making maps...

although i think i do have 3+ jumps 14 of 18 of my maps...

I think it's a great map, and currently have it hosting for a bit now and then at my server. Good job brad!


P.S. Scorch, I don't think your map sucks, just might need more things, in fact, both of yours and brads are similar to mine...in some ways ;)

I have now changed the map slightly by making the pryamids lower and by adding a "fight-box" at the very top. Tell me what you think please :wink:

your map

okay 1 problem we found on your map while playing on it
at scorches is the old flag to the center problem when someone
drops the flag over a "pyr"... the flag they were carrying
goes to the center....since its a solid block no one
can get the flag....for CTF...

suggestion: make the base of the BIG pyr hollow
with door openings on side...

still should lower center pyr more if your okay with that...

you could remove the top rung of each of your
4 side stairs as you can jump to your top runways
from the 2 below each one...maybe make the 2
below..one longer rung...

OK, i have updated the map again, it now contains world weapons :), i have also added a way of getting to the middle.

P.S. Watch out for the shockwave :wink:

One more thing. Would anybody be willing to host this map if they have a fast internet connection :?: If you do that would be great :D
