Antarctica

Post by Amaterasu »

Hi there!

Here's my latest and best map:
It's a two team CTF sniper map.
There are sniper spots, but also many possibilities for other playstiles!
It's in a ice world and the whole thing is over a see of icy water.
You can either fight from the buildings or go into the water.
There are these flags:
L WG PZ V A SW SH OO SB MG N T TH US ID GM ST MQ CL
There are some physics and I textured the whole map.
To stop spawnkilling I added some World Weapons which trigger on teamflag capture and clean all possible spawnkilling spots.
I'm open for recommendations!

Here are lots of screens:

Server comes later...

greetings Amaterasu

That looks amazing. I couldn't see much because of the huge pictures, but from what I saw, you put an amazing amount of work into it. I would love to play on it, but only after my internet stops acting up. Amazing!

WOW! Now that I have seen all of the pics, I can say that you awe me!!! I don't have words to describe how awesome that is!!! (Well, I do, but I would rather not say them, they might offend someone) You are great at the texturing! Great, Amazing, Awesome, Fantastic, Incredible, and Fantroobyalistic job!

Wow thanks for all the honor! :D
When I made the map I didn't think anybody would find it so spectacular.
Well, I'd like to play with you guys on my map but since my textures on the BZFlag Image Uploader still aren't approved, I can't host it.... :x
I just hope they'll check them soon :?
Until then, does anybody have a name for the map?
I'm really bad at naming things so....

Well see you! Amaterasu

Sea of Ice? Icy Plain? Ice Castle? Somthing with ice in it, I would think.

I like this map, it looks really good.

How about "ice blast" or "frost castle" or "frost battle" or "antarctica"
Ahm besides: How long does it usually take the admins til they accept a texture?

It seems like the teles don't work right now. Also it is very hard to get back up to anywhere but the iceberg things once you go "underwater".

Ok I made an update and there are more ways to get on the bases now.
I added a roof to the bases, to stop the endless spawnkilling.
Also there's a hidden spot for hiding the team flag.
I also fixed the problem with Spawning on top of the map.
About the teles: I really don't know why they sometimes don't work.
But the teles on the ground aren't supposed to work. They're for PZ users.
So have fun! ;)

Why did you take the jump pad away? It was what made the map fun!

Sorry about that... What I meant was the jump pads are a bit harder to get to than they used to be. I just think an inexperienced player might not be able to get up there :roll:

ah well yes. I sometimes have problems by myself too..
I'll think about a solution for this problem.
That and some other problems will be fixed in the version 1.4
