I honestly can't see the ingenuity of these maps. I mean, they're random maps with a couple colored boxes, but I guess that qualifies these days. I just don't quite see the point in something like this.

I agree with dexter. Heck, the textures are okay, but the map itself is basically just another random map. I could do that if I wanted to, which is saying something. ;)

try changing the black to transparent, set the ground to black, and have mountain outlines for the skybox:

There actually WAS a map that looked like the original Battlezone out on the list server at one time, but I'm not sure if it's still up.

The map you are referring to is Battlezone Vectrex by lagamemnon - bzflag.planet-mofo.com:4020

It's actually really interesting to play. Much more so than a simple random map.

I think you mean R3lax's map is interesting to play, if so, I agree completely. R3lax has made maps long enough to know that it is the subtle changes that make a map great. Its all about the gameplay, which is something that requires weeks of playing before you dismiss it.

I like the map, I think it could be lots of fun.

The maps are most definitely not like the ducati map. Just because they're are nothing else than blocks in a map, doesn't mean similar to ducati. Look at the size and placements of the boxes and pyramids.
As for the textures... just black with a colored edges. :)

Dexter, take into consideration that if R3lax made the boxes and pyramids all the same size as at ducati, he would be plagiarizing. What ducktape wrote is just an opinion, what you may think is what you think(that's the great thing about life). Yes, it does have triangles and boxes, how does this not make it similar to ducati? Ducati has triangles and boxes..

As far as I know, Ducati is played on a random map. It's kinda hard to plagiarize something that is random.

Yes, and the name of this map is Randomized.

A few months ago I actually started a PHP script that would convert any 1.x map to have this "look", inspired by battlezone vectrex. I really should finish it sometime. :p

HiX has triangles and boxes too, so HiX is just like ducati now? The point of a map is not taking some other and changing the size so not to be plagiarized...is it?

HiX is in symmetry. Is ducati? no. thats how they are different. HiX was planed out to have the awesome ricos and jumps it has. Ducati is just random boxes and triangles. End of story. it doesnt really, matter now does it?

Guys, seriously, R3l4x made a map, and released it. Nobody plagiarized anybody. Get over it.

It appears that R3lax had no intention of plagiarizing anyone's map. The map doesn't look like much from the screenshot maybe but it's probably pretty fun to play on. Random maps were what BZFlag started with... if you aren't picky it's pretty fun. And I'm really happy to see more BattleZone inspired maps... I was only aware of one. Yay...

Wow, wow.. get your facts straight. :)
Ducati IS symmetric, although more subtle. Furthermore Ducati is not completely random either.. look at the position of bases and the four pyramids around the bases.

I like the look of Relax' maps, especially 1 and 2. I've no clue if they are fun to play, but at least they are nice to look at.

Saturos: You are right, but that doesnt mean HiX is just random boxes and triangles mixed together.
