BZ,

I have decided to take on the challenge of map making. I currently have a map called Roll-Off-The-Top CTF

The center piece has two planks, one for each base. Rolling off the color-coded plank lands you on that base perfectly. However, I am trying to make the center more... "complicated."

I will try my best to post some screenshots, but you may have to wait until it is hosted. Again, I'll try my best...

Thanks,
LittleLep

start a private server, run map, take screenies, post screenies.
I can't wait.
Just PM me for info on a private server (it's not hard)

Haha PG you underestimate me

I am fully capable of running a private server and taking screenies

The problem is finding time. Being involved in school Civil War projects eats my time. But again, Ill try my best!

ll@bzbb

PS Any suggestions to buildings or anything are welcomed

It would take like 5 minutes tops...

Ahhhh PG

Just because I reply here may not mean Im using my/a computer. Maybe a psp, ipod, handheld pda...

And again, I am working on the center piece and going to add some WWs and physics. Ill post some shots when Im finished...

Here is a little sneak-peak of my new map. I think I over-did the colors, but you tell me.

Criticism is not really being looked out for, but suggestions are aprreciated!!

Thanks,
LittleLep

PS Its my first map

Oh, awesome map, love the colors. yes, it's to "open" etc good work!

Thanks.

By open, you mean i should add more or its good like that?

The caution texture warns of the WW-SW tht tends to go off

Looks good LL. When you put in flags, if your gonna do it, dont put in many and then i think it would be an excellant map.

Add more stuff, or make a 1 shot laser/ no laser. It's good, but open. add some pyramids towers (but not to tall) some cool buildings, walls, camping spots, etc. Look at past maps in the map release section, look at what made them popular. but don't copy.
I have recently made a map that looks like Boxy War apparently, but I've never been on Boxy War for longer than 15 seconds when it was empty

Haha thanks gg.

To be honest, there is a total of about 51. 5 major flag types × 10 each flag. And one geno. But maybe Ill minimize flags

Thanks! Im LittleLep btw

Why didn't your change your name in the UCP?

I hav 2... LittleLep and this one.

and thanks PG thts a good idea...Its up @bza soon and ill update it

Update

The first version of my Off The Top CTF is up at bzfmaps.net:6012 thanks to allejo and nn.

However, I need ideas on things to put on the sides of bases. GM towers are too powerful. That has been excluded.

I feel that your suggestions are important because you play the map to your liking. Help?

It's cool, reminds me of Christmas. I noticed that the cones above the bases are opposite the team color
EX: red base green cone, green base red cone

Yeah i thought mixing it up would look cool...check out the map when you hav time.

Yeah, looks good LL/ghost. I also like that you gave it to bzfmaps to host. They're good, espiecally with they're no udp!

Yup its at the BZAgency servers. Just expect some updates to the open spaces. Version 2.0 baby!

So? release a RvB then around Christmas release a RvG!

Will do PG! Good idea!

TK wars would be sick! just add -tk

TK-wars:
it's rogue, no, it's red. AHHH! it's shooting at me! -shoots back- BOOM!

haha i am trying my best to add pieces on the sides of the bases. I havnt started quite yet...

Should i add gms or no? i say its too powerful

For GM you can add shot limits and reduce/increase the turn angle of it That will give 10 shot limit to GM
