Laser Mania
I have recently put up a new map called "Laser Mania" at louman.homelinux.net:5154. It is a relatively simple map (should keep fps up for everyone) with no texture downloads, and, obviously, all lasers. It is blue vs. red CTF and is a big map (3 km x 3 km). Binoculars will be handy
Please feel free to host the map, but remember that it is in beta test right now, so there will probably be a few revisions.
Attached is the map and a couple screenshots.
Update: See below for latest revisions.

Ah, very nice! I like it. The laser ricos will be lethal here.
Question about mapmaking:
Do you hand code or use BZEdit? Just wondering...

^nightmare^ is still saving money for the "lightwave 3d moddlerLouMan wrote:Actually, I've designed it so laser ricos are at a minimum - requires greater skills and aim to kill (I like to think of it is a sniper map). It will probably play a bit slow because of its large size.
BTW - I use a 3D modeler to make my maps.

Maybe download wings3d for free. I'm sure it's just as good.

Laser Mania Revision 1
Attached is Revision 1 of Laser Mania and a screenshot. Changes include:
1) Ability to go in towers through teleporter in center of map. There are GM's and SW's located next to this center teleporter - hopefully this will draw more players to the middle of the map
2) Faster, longer shots with GM and regular shots.
3) 50% increase in conveyor speeds.
Update: See below for latest revisions.

Laser Mania Revision 8.1
Attached is Laser Mania, Revision 8.1.
The new version has a lot of minor repairs to the map file, all of which should be invisible to players.
If you have any problems with map, or notice any bugs, please let me know. I did a fairly large overhaul of the map; I hope I got everything right
NOTE: Due to popular demand, I have updated map file to remove walls that were causing ricochet when edge camping.
UPDATE: Version 8.1 fixes a few mixed up faces in Revision 8.

Laser Mania Revision 9
Attached is Laser Mania Revision 9. I added small walls in spawn areas to cut down on the spawn/corner camping. I also cleaned up the spawn/flag zones quite a bit.
** UPDATED 2/22/06: made small barriers drivethrough.
Update: See below for latest revisions.
