Tangent's Playground (my first map)

meeba · Post by **meeba** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 3:30 am

Yeah, I finally got around to making my first map. It's fairly small, but it's fun. I've got two towers in corners, two little bunker-ish things (good for SB flag holders), and some other decorations.

1.0 map. Good for FFA. Maybe Rabbit Hunt too.

I have no test server up just yet, but I'll work on setting one up. In the meantime, feel free to test it out on your own and leave me some feedback.

Enjoy!

EDIT: The local server I had is no longer up. Connect to nullbzflag.gotdns.com on port 5154. The CTF Playground is up there.

Woot! Looks interesting. Very good map for your start.

Thanks!

I'm still planning on a CTF edit of it that has taller towers and to get up, you jump back and forth between platforms a few times up to a really high base. Not too sure just yet, I'll play around with it a bit. For CTF I'm going to make the map a bit bigger, though.

it looks quite cool so far.

how about making those bunkerish type things into bigger buildings?

btw,if you want to take better screenshots, you can go into observer mode and press F8. that will put you in roaming mode and you can move all around the map by pressing themodifier keys and the directions.

Yeah, I might add a big tower with some windows in it in there or something. Which might be neat for CTF. Have the big tower that you just jump up different steps in, with windows so you can be shot, but you're still partly protected. Then have a balance bean go out to a suspended base in the empty corners.

Alright... I got bored and did some more work on it. There are now two fortress-type things, and I'm working on a CTF version now.

Check this one out...

Woot! I love it

I can just see tanks jumping up that tower.

Jumping up that tower is fun. You should get on the test server to see the CTF version of it. Oh, and I'll post that map while I'm at it.

I put the bases and the paths to the bases in tunnels. It's really neat.

very nice, and i love the little tunnel going to the bases.

awsome for ur first map...

Thanks, man. Due to popular request, I'm going to add some links into it... people think they should go up to the top of the towers, but I don't know. I kinda made that fortress hard to get up for a reason. Having a link would take some of the fun out of it for me.

I don't know.... what does everyone else think?

hmm...it might be good if theres a lot of people on it....its a start, but in my honest opinion, it needs a bit more
don't listen to me

i like it...

maybe add more ground things.. so people can hide behind them or use them for rico. and i would say u could use some teleporters, no neseseraly to the base, but to the general vacinity of it

meeba · Post by **meeba** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 3:11 pm

yeah, links will be added. I might add a bunch of teleports in the base corridors... might make a cool addition.

As for ground objects... I don't think there's any shortage of them, but I can put in some small walls around the bottom.

yes, that would be good. it would allow for more rico, and maybe a better place to hide

alright, this seems to no longer be a 1.0 map.

check it out now...

still up on the Null Productions CTF Playground, if you want to try it. nullbzflag.gotdns.com port 5154.

Cloaking is your friend.
