New Map: There can only be one flag - A 1-flag map
« on: September 26, 2011, 10:15:56 AM »
Hello there, thanks for checking my map. I'm pretty new at mapping so this is my first map I finished.  :)
2 Gamemodes:
  • TDM
  • 1-flag

Team 1: Red
Team 2: Blue

Here are some screenshots:









If you want to please download the map.  :D
Also, It's a pretty nice and basic map to play with bots and/or humans

Enjoy  ;)

does look very shock-like, hills surrounded by high walls... i'm guessing players spawn in the colored rooms with two front doors, looks spawntastic

Yeah, Gameplay is inspired by shock, I quite like that map - it's a small and simple map.
It's my first map so I decided to go with a simple concept too.

I'm pretty new at mapping so this is my first map I finished.

You are new at mapping, so here are a few things, your should regard.

- Fix all leaks before you post a map. Fix it, don't make a big box around the map. The compilte needs very much more time and the r_speeds are bad (= more lags).
- Fix all messages, which will be shown if you load the map (bad field...) before you post a map.
- Post beta maps instead of a finished map. You wrote that the map is finished, so what about bugs (like the screenshot below), bad textures or ideas from other players? You will have 10 different maps with the same name after all fixes and noone knows which mapfile is the newest. It's better to make beta's (you only need to rename the mapfile to only1flag_b1 and make another number after it with each new beta only1flag_b2, only1flag_b3, only1flag_b4, ...) and a real final after it.


Let's say some words to the map:

- The base and spawns are really good. It's something new / different.
- Not much misaligned textures, also good :)
- I don't like the mid. It's too open and empty.
- Here are 6 pictures: 1: Hole | 2, 3, 4: Misaligned textures | 5, 6: The red and blue base aren't the same, why? Do you want an advantage for one team?

Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
I fixed the misaligned textures and the bad fields but I'm gonna work on the mid field. The teams just look mirrored to me so I don't see a big advantage on it.

Question is,
I found that the map is leaked so i load the leak file and then BSP crashes, any ideas? :(

Which bsp version do you have (Menu: Help -> About)?


If you want, you can try this version: ftp://otb-server.de/pub/BSP%20-%20Map%20Editor/BSP_setup.exe

Hey, thanks a lot. It worked, at first I was confused by the axis line. But I figured it out.
Happens to be 2 light entities were facing the outside.

If you're wondering I am using BSP version 0.96b.
Hopefully I shall be releasing a compile soon, maybe the weekend.

PS: Should I change the map name into "Flaggathon"? Sounds more original

Nawwww not a problem for you?  What a horrible map maker you'd make.  And just for advice for the future, but i'm sure you've been told this already... edit your posts... its not that hard.

Its the difference between a map being in its beta stages and being completed (properly that is).  That's a pretty big issue.
