It's my newest map, its red vs green ctf.
OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS
-3 shots
-2 team ctf
-Jumping
-rico

and for fun, i added ramps going to the other teams base, I still havent added the code to make it work yet, but i'm sure you'll know where the ramp is... unless your not so smart.

as you can see, I haven't gotten to working on the middle yet.

p.s. what do you think I should call it?

Hmm, suggestions...

How about some stopping points on the side ramps.
I hate maps where you hop on those things and it just shoots you all the way across with no control over your tank.

And how about maybe a circular castle in the middle. Nothing too fancy, maybe just a couple of simple floors and then you can bridge the map out from the middle castle.

Just an idea, hate it or love it

ya, I was gonna do that, I hate it too when you just get thrown across. If you have ever been to bloodbath, I'm gonna try and make it like that ramp...

do you have any ideas for a name?
I'm still thinking, but i'm coming up with nothing.

^nightmare^ · Post by **^nightmare^** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:30 am

Uhm, im not really sure right now.
If i see more of where your going with the map, then ill prob get an idea then.

Does anyone know how to make something "one way"
by that i mean like one way shootthrough and one way drivethrough... i want to do that for the front of the castle.

Meshes. Take a good read on the wiki, and look through some of the Mapping Help Topics, because they are a bit weird.

yay, another naming job, just for me

er.... im thinking:.;
Seige Wars
Seige Warfare
Bombarded
i usually come up with better ones but they're the best i can think of at the moment

I've made a few updates, I still havent added all of the textures in yet, but i'm trying... I've just been pretty busy lately with other stuff... here are the screenies. also havent added the flags in yet so be patient

I've added they physics to the rails to speed tank up.
Added hand made meshes to make it a lot harder to get to geno flag.

p.s. I need name ideas!!! lol!

Wow I am very impressed: you revisions covered about everything I was going to say. What types of flags are you planning to have?

ducktape · Post by **ducktape** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:09 am

Looks good, I you should call it...

I was thinking of maybe the following flags:
-Laser
-Gm
-Geno
-Sw-
-sb
-Narrow
-Cl
-St
-SE
Those are the ones that come to mind at the moment, I'll have to test it again with bots and the flags to see which others, if any i want to add.

Looks good, I you should call it...

haha, that seems like a possibility... or maybe something that wouldn't deter other people besides noobs from coming to the map.

knoxcorner · Post by **knoxcorner** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 3:23 am

Wow thats a really good map, but I dont think laser is so good because its an easy kill

Maybe you can call it "Not so easy target"

On the contrary, no one at all would play there. Experienced players don't want to deal with noobs. And really, what 'real' noob is going to admit that they are one?

Here are some name ideas:
Gastric Feather-Duster
Feline Hemorrhage
Pancake Skirmish
Helium
Lacquer Attack

CUPCAKE · Post by **CUPCAKE** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 11:43 am

Helium would be a great name if gravity were set to a positive number

Maybe you should first have the map with lasers, and if it is a problem, gone.

Gastric Feather-Duster
Feline Hemorrhage
Pancake Skirmish
Helium
Lacquer Attack

I was personally thinking something along the lines of:
Gee Wilikers!
Purple Lasagna!

Nice map...

Oh No!

Not the space in the middle!

Just add a few large pyramids in places, and I think that It looks nice.

PS: I'm lovin them castles you got there

Wreckage · Post by **Wreckage** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 9:36 pm

What space in the middle are you talking about? I see a square building.

thanks everyone, I'll keep working on the texturing and i'll post the newest version as soon as i'm done.

do you think it would help if i turned rico off on this map?

Well I dont think it would be good atleast not for the gameplay might be better for Laser but i think if would be best with ricochet.

Wreckage · Post by **Wreckage** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 4:20 pm

Too bad this idea from wiki has not been implemented (as far as I know):

Ability to turn off ricochet for laser flag but allow ricochet for bullets...

Ya, that would really help...

Still workin on it.

ducktape · Post by **ducktape** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:52 am

I would say just keep rico on for everything. If there is CL it would be fine.
