Hi all, great to be back on the board, been very busy.

Anyways, I had an idea a while ago for a map, right now it's bare-bones,
just started it. Very basic, just get to the other side. You won't
be able to get over the center, I'm gonna block it off. The middle
is going to be a conveyor, and I'm gonna add some holes in the wall
and some platforms to shoot in the conveyor. Any ideas about
what to put on the sides would be appriciated.

You could try to put some world weapon lasers (in the corridor) and death zones. For instance, if you go into this area, you instantly die. (you could post warnings about "land mines") I wouldn't put laser flags in the map though (too boxy).

Nice idea there, though i'm wondering if players are going to like having to run backwards through that long, thin and venerable gap... prehaps make it wider and shorter?

OK, got an update. Slight design malfunction fixed, it should work the
way I want it now. And I added some 1-way teleporters to the end of the conveyors.

People will ride through it on a conveyor.

Looks much better than the original version. The main thing I was worried about was the long pathways, and how long it would take, but you fixed it. Good job!

Here's a thought...

You could have about three steps/platforms (or more, either way would be cool) leading up, a little higher each time, such as Viper's two castles (near the sides), and make it so that you're able to have a route over the middle of the belt and another fight area. I think this might help with shockwave campers...otherwise, you get dragged to the other end, the only way over there, and the sw guy just camps and shoots you.

Looking good so far.

Try to add quite a few small pyramids or blocks, pyramids for laser deflectors (to keep your map laser-safe), and also the blocks for things to get in the way or land on.

Good job so far!

Good point. Maybe he should limit sw to 3 or even 2 shots each.

The bases are big just to make it a bit easier to cap.

UPDATE! I have an in-game screenie, tested it. Had to scale alot down
because you were swamped at the size of the conveyor walls

And added shomoe shtuff to the other half of the playing fields.
Its ALOT more laser-friendly. (thanks for the tip ducati!)

Meh, maybe less pyamids, and some more boxes. Otherwise its perfect

Destroyer1313 · Post by **Destroyer1313** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 2:06 am

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. I just need some textures,
a few more updates, and I can release it

Ill see what I can do.

ducktape · Post by **ducktape** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 2:29 am

will there be jumping or not

Yeah, there will be jumping. For this map, the gravity will be a bit different. Update coming soon!

EDIT: What I had in mind for the map was it was digital, like
a cyber-arena. I need a simple grid for the ground and other stuff.
If anyone would want to make me the texture, that would be awesome.

Destroyer1313 · Post by **Destroyer1313** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 8:57 pm

UPDATE: Added some boxes, made some walls thinner, and starting to finish up.

ducktape · Post by **ducktape** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:01 pm

thats awesome whos gonna host it?

Nice map. Except you could make it even better with less of those little pyramids. It takes a long time to get trhought them and its hard to kill people in them when there that close together. Though I see where you were going with a lot of pyramids. Kinda like thhat old map with the circle of pyramids together. I forget what it was called. Heck for all I know it still might be up.

Will this map ever be hosted? Because if it is, I want to play there.

Actally, it does'nt take that long to get thru the pyramids.

After the conveyors are in, and with a few other things, it'll be done! yay!!
