This is my 2nd map i have made. It has 2 teams which have 2 flags each. I have also added a jail i can remove if it is not required. Here are some pics:

All 4 bases are like this.

Mid High.

Both Mid Lows are like this.

The Jail.

Heres the link to the file:

Looks like it needs lighting. Make sure you hit the 'final compile' option, in the compile menu.

You need to light your maps before you release them. Also, make sure you don't have any leaks.

Will put some lighting when i get around to it. Which final compile, im pretty sure i used the high quality for that one but that might have been the wrong file. I'll put some lighting in and i'll wait until i find out which compile to do.

Ok, i found which one 2 extract it as. I've added lighting where needed and in other places.

Just had a quick look.

^^Wrong texture im guessing.

^^Mis-aligned textures. (Red Rings Mis aligned.)(Black ring how there suppose to be i think)

^^For me it looks a little to clear.

^^Misaligned maybe?

Well thats all from me.
Sorry about the quality of Screenies

Yah, the lights make that glass look like its not there. The boxes i'm fixing and yes, that texture on lights was somehow like that (never saw that myself when i was jumping around 4 5 minutes. I'll post the new one later.

ALso where do you cap??for me i cant cap where the flags are but im not sure.

Cameron · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2008, 03:06:43 AM »

I fixed that in beta 3, im in the middle of fixing the textures right now.

Cameron · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:21:45 AM »

Ok, ive removed lights which make those glass screens hard to see, fixed all of the textures and changed some of the lighting.

I've attached a demo of things you should revise. I've also uploaded the map to the beta server for testing. See PM for details.

Ok, after a while i found time to do beta 4. Ive fixed all of the textures problems and also added a bit down the bottom where im considering putting the back door entrance. Problem with the backdoor is there are 2 ways to cap. So im still deciding.

Here it is:

Um, isn't that the point?

Cameron · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2008, 01:51:59 AM »

No, i mean that there are 2 places to cap, meaning that there would be 4 ways to take one or both flags to cap them.

Base 1 Normal
Base 1 Backdoor
Base 2 Normal
Base 2 Backdoor

Much more difficult when you are on your own again 2 or 3, mabye even 1.

KiLo · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2008, 02:22:42 AM »

You should probably just make the caps at the main bases.

Cameron · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:13:02 AM »

Both are main. I might move the capping point and make a new area up higher above the ladder at the ends of the map. Then somehow run a backdoor up there. Still thinking about b5 and also wondering if anybody thinks there is anything that needs fixing in b4.

KiLo · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:24:53 AM »

Well I just downloaded b4 and took a look around. I like the map but those caps are treacherous if someone actually gets the flag. My suggestion is to make a tunnel going out the back of each flag and make it so that the tunnel loops around to the back and then make like a path to go low and one to go mid. I will post a pic of what I am trying to explain if I get around to making it. This will also make the map new player friendly.

Yeh, when i put that jump in i wasnt thinking about the newbies. Sorry guys. I'd also love to view what ur thinking cos im finding it kinda hard to visulise what ur saying (usually can but i sat here 4 5 mins and just couldn't).

KiLo · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2008, 04:05:13 AM »

I understand. Didn't really know how to word it but in a few hours I have class and I will have some free time then.

jitspoe · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2008, 11:58:00 PM »

I've attached another demo and put the map up on the beta server.
