CTF alpha map for testing

Im still working on my first map and i wanted ppl to test it and maybe give me some feedback on what i should or shouldnt do.
There s only 1 base ready, lots of places that are way too dark, others not complete yet, etc
Anyway i would like to know your opinions
ty and tks matt for hosting

is this the one you sent me few days ago? or should i get this?

u should get it, its different, it sucks even more now

lmao, id recommend this map to everyone, it has a lot of good routes in it, some nice ways to switch routes too, if you know how


not too heavy on the weapon placement either, with a bit of good feedback, this could prove to be a great map.

looks good. you might wanna remove the circular platforms on the pipe that lead to the roof. why would there be platforms on a pipe? it looks stupid. just leave it as a pipe for them to jump on.

[09:49] [mikestg] its alot of pressure always having to live up to dsbr standards
[09:49] [mikestg] i wish they would just let me be

you re right, i ll remove those

Move red flag for sure... I also dont know about those glass platforms with the shields and such on them, I would say they have to go. I doubt people will go for em there.

Things i´ve changed so far:
*removed the 3 plats over the mid pipe.
*fixed a floor texture in back room
* lag shield is over the mid tube

I´ve also been talking to other guys in #jk2pickups and we discussed some ideas and i would like ppl to say something about it.

-About the two corridors with glass, should the glass be breakable?

-In mid, too many levels? should some levels be removed or should i add jump pads?

-Jump pads push u to some specific locations, should it only forces u to go up in straight line?

-The very top route: Should i add a sniper gun? should it be closed ?

Anyway i would like to ask server admins ppl if we could set a schedule so ppl could join in and discuss map changes while playing. (It doesnt have two bases yet, but the second base will be symetric, on a second moment i can mirror it and we could test it in scrims)
Tks for the possible feedback

yea i dl it already just have to get around to playin it...and i wanna be part of the testin also

Glad to hear that and tks for your posts
I JUST WISH MORE PPL WOULD SEE MY THREAD
I know its not bout flaming or i would have like 5000 viewers and 700 replies.
Cmon please, if u didnt like it at least tell me what u didnt like.
Bout the test im still waiting for someone from BF or mod or any other server that are usually crowded to tell me if its ok and schedule some date to test it then i will put it in here.

It looks too random, like it was just thrown together. Any flow seems likely to be accidental rather than intentional.

this has actually been reworked quite a few times, with attempts made to improve the flow, can u be specific, so he can work on improvements

it looks like a construction yard, there doesn't seem to be any specific theme or aim with the design

actually i like the variety in the bases. i'd say just make the glass breakable

#-(-Grendel-)- on irc.gamesnet.net
-(-Grendel-)- server status
-(-Grendel-)- Team Site

eliminate the glass and make the corridors solid.

The question bout the glass is that once an fc gets in there he could be trapped, not much places to run, if i make it breakable that would be better imo, dunno what shall i do yet.

I have the map with both bases semi-ready, msg me if u want to try it, i think i should have it on mod server soon for a test, i must ask mod admins about it yet.
Aim = P4ulo lacerda
msger = voodoo_panda@hotmail.com
irc = enterthegame server #jk2pickups channel

K some ppl have seen my map and saw that i have some stuff to goof around. I will remove it in another version so dont look at it as a kidding map.
I made two bases now, it still have bugs but try it out and tell me something.
dl it from here and rename to .pk3

link doesnt work

sry folks
Copy the link and paste it in internet explorer it will work
dont know why it doesnt work directly
and remember its not a zip file its a pk3 already, just rename it and put it \base folder
Post edited by -Voodoo at 2/1/2003 9:10:54 PM

i dl it and renamed it but it still doesnt show up when i try to create my own server to test it...

hmm, filename must be ctf_8g.pk3 located in \base folder
Make sure u see it as a pk3 file and not a zip one (look at the icon)
When creating the server u have to choose Capture the flag, and look for CTF voodoo name on the list

Edit:
Anyway im still working on the map, cause we notice huge drop in fps and other stuff.
Im adding a tunnel connecting the two existing tunnels in mid. btw ty conf for the idea

I think the fps has to do with the texture variety, heheh. 'Cause if you look at all the regular maps, they pretty much use the same textures over and over again.

ok i will test the texts first if thats it its easier than to rebuild the whole mid
damn link sucks im trying to find a solution for that
