Looks great Loki, except for the name. I'll test the map soon.

Really like this map, although the lifts seem a bit off, movement time is too quick imo, they go up so quick its hard to actually pull of the liftjump

I recon you could still make all the liftjumps even the vent ones with them a bit slower, nice little map though, finish it already !

Well thats open, im terrible with names, suggest something if you like, or if anyone else wants to name the map, put it in with your feedback.

yeah im trying to find a solution to the lifts, cos even i think they need to be slower, the problem im having is if i make them slower i cant get the air time i want from the lift jump.

I'll give it a test through later today and provide some possible names as well.

looks nice so far i just walked through it to look around...

why not CTF-Simplicity ?

**Mr.UglyPants** · 01-09-2008, 01:17 AM

I really like the map, short and fast paced.

Can't think of a name, quite bad with them really. Though Simplicity works for me.

From the screenshots it seems to be a bit gray for a flagbase. Perhaps had more blue/red lights... Will try it once you export to ps3.

**Mr.UglyPants** · 01-09-2008, 02:03 AM

Try it out, its not that grey (at least on my system).

Two things, 1, how do you get that 50 Shield behind the Flag, second, can you get the to use the bottom level more? Because with bots the middle (shield belt) become a hazard area of all bots converging on it.

**hawkwind** · 01-09-2008, 02:57 AM

nice map!
small, but complex, and all seems to be working.

There are red, blue and green lights, but yeah its a blueish gray map im going to do some material editing to some of the textures and add some more volume shadows to certain areas, i guess the screen shot doesnt show of the center sections, hmm porting to ps3, i guess ill do that later once im happy with it.

Well the idea was that you jump off the lift to get the 50 armour, but im a bit unhappy with that so i think im going to change it to the med health on the over pass and slow the lift down a bit.

Ermm yeah i should have said i havent added path nodes for bots yet(since its a multiplayer game), but i will do that last, even thou i know bots wont be able to have the same movement as players ill try to get them to work the map.

Do you think its too small ? im getting the feeling that it might be a bit to small, thou i did want a fast flag carry map, looking at other maps like the grendelkeep3 and orbital2007, they seem huge compared.

**Mr.UglyPants** · 01-09-2008, 01:56 PM

Its small, but its a good small, making it larger won't help it, it plays great.

**Denk** · 01-10-2008, 12:16 AM

Here is my feedback:
It's a map suited for a 2v2 / 3v3 - it wont be suited for 5v5 due to it's size - there are plenty of routes, but it's a tad small - that aint bad at all, we also need 'smaller' maps

(all the rest will be illustrated with pictures - for the record, i'm an instagib player, so all tests are done with the instagib mutator on)
1. Remove the 'path' where i'm pointing at - You should remove that - if people want to go from left to right, they should do a walldodge

2. Remove the path in the airvent - yes, i found it

3. Ah, yeah, the lift - if you take the lift (face facing the wall), then you can't run forward cuz of the ramp - you should cut a piece out so you can run forward, but also run on the ramp

4. I don't like the stair/ that entire block over there - the stairs doesn't really have any use and wont be used in game besides for laming - it should be removed and maybe something else (i dno) should be added instead

5. The passage to drop to low is waaaay too small (also check point 6.)

6. Maybe remove the part where my crosshair is on? That part has no use at all (besides that you have to run on that to get of the lift, but check point 3. for that)

7. What's the deal with that? No use imo (also check point 6.)

You have included 17 images in your message. You are limited to using 9 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.
(so had to remove some smilies

)

**hawkwind** · 01-11-2008, 02:31 AM

one bsp error i found. saw a bot partially enter a wall on a staircase, and tried it myself, and got stuck half outside the map

not a big problem, but should be fixed.
sorry for one MORE picture
