-Wait for more comments. :P
-Fix a texture

--Map description (updated)--

Well, i couldn't think of any other name for it, so i am calling it "named".

Game modes are 1-flag, CTF, and Pong. The white flag is in a cave of water so players cant really camp there. The entrances to the cave are in the cabin, and on the sides of the "arena". There is also an entrance to the water cave in each base. The bases are behind the cap points. Originally, you got teleported from the base to the arena, but that would lead to problems, such as getting stuck inside of each other. In the screen shots, you will see that the barrels have misaligned tops. Thats because i have High res barrel textures!! ;D So Here are SShots of Named Beta 8, My first map to be released (my second made) ;D

UPDATE:
Screenshots Updated to show BETA 8 ;D

Well, I had just a quick run of this map. Design isn´t bad, map looks nice, but hey, it´s absolutly unplayable.This for 5on5?Are you mad?Capping flag is absolutly imposible misson, because of just one way to base and  shoot button makes it slower.I think maybe new way to base can fix it.But, nice design work for first map ;) PS: I love smoke xD

thanks for your thoughts ;D I think i might add an extra pathway that leads to the bases in the water cave, and get rid of those buttons too.

I've recorded a demo with some revision suggestions and uploaded your map for play testing.

I don't think that bottom path will work well at all.  It's way too slow.

--BETA 5--

I agree with jitspoe maybe have a mid flag there, for something else to go for?

There is in fact a mid flag in there, but only in 1 flag mode.

EDIt: --BETA 6--

Attached a demo with some feedback.

Edit: Played it on the beta server and attached a demo of some game play.  One guy said he didn't like it, but didn't dislike it enough to post feedback.  The gameplay isn't all that interesting to me, to be honest.  I'm not a fan of box maps.  I'm not sure what you could do to improve it without major refactoring, though.

Uploaded to the beta server and attached some more suggestions.  I don't think the flag in the secret room is a good idea.  Flags should be easily accesible and have multiple paths to keep the game play flowing.

Added to the beta server.  I'm still not a fan of the water path, but whatever you want to do - it's your map.  Have you had the chance to play test it yet?

No i have not had the chance to play test it yet, but i would like to add one more thing first.... ;)

--BETA 9--

- I think this is my final choice for the secret rooms. Ive turned it into an extra path between the base, so for eample, in your secret room, is a teleporter to the opponents secret room. Also a an added bonus, if you go through the teleporter, a random weapon spawns at the end. It only happens once however. Also i have removed the button to open the door, now you have to shoot the door to open it.

I've put it up on the beta server.  It doesn't seem to be that popular.  People find it boring.  I don't really have many other technical suggestions.  perhaps the arrow in the secret room that goes to the other base should be the other base's color, though.
Title: Re: New Map: Named -+-(NOW IN BETA 9!)-+-
Post by: Lapppy on March 02, 2009, 06:10:23 PM
I checked the arrows, and they are all the right color :-\ ??? Unless you're talking about a different arrow.

Post by: jitspoe on March 05, 2009, 08:59:10 PM
If you're in the red base, there's a red arrow pointing toward the teleport to the blue base.  Shouldn't it be a blue arrow?  (Unless I'm just remembering it incorrectly)
