I actually played this map and the one thing I couldn't stand was there being only one way to grab the two flag, once you grab it and go towards one you are completely trapped, you should make it so you can get over the wall back to two if needed.

Which version did you play? The latest one has several paths to 2.

Clipz · « **Reply #142 on:** November 05, 2013, 10:28:47 PM »

Well, I mean if you grab the 2 flag and go out towards one you are screwed. There should be another way out of there if you decide to go up the ramp.

That problem has already been fixed.

My only question to y'all is: You don't mind if I make the secret/end room more...uh... visually noisy, do you? I'm talking about adding a 2nd set of strobe lights at the bottom and a pair of flowing nr_road in the middle.

Yeah lazers pub must of had an older version.

Yeah that one day I had it was like b2 I think because I never had the b4/b5 version yet.

Just had a game with spec on this map, very fun.

Points: Not so confusing anymore, we hadnt played this map and it was easy relitively to pick up. GJ still some work imo though.

Secondly some spawn seem unfair to me especially the forward PGP ones and you have to go back and get some, I like the autocockers at mid though because you can run there.

Very fun especially with the bases, lots of routes but easy to play, intense.

BBD, #sPec# just played 4s, this was tie. Awesome map, really good fun

First time we played the map, was a risk for us, but we wanted a challenge. The map is very original and the gameplay is very nice! Lots of jumps and ways, although I would highly, highly recommend adding arrows to direct you to flag 1 and 2.

The only thing with this map, it may be hard to become known, because it's so 'weird', but not in a bad way.

So nice to play a fresh map with good gameplay, just maybe add navigation and it will be great!

In my humble opinion, "original" and "fresh" would be better adjectives than "weird". Lol I remember Clipz saying stuff about how new mappers always have a high opinion of themselves. It's true guys!

I played a 4v4 on neon yesterday and it was just awesome!
I think this map is ready for final.

BASEBALLDUDE · « **Reply #150 on:** November 16, 2013, 10:01:49 AM »

Neon Beta 13 is now here!
-made neon magenta lighting closer to purple
-reduced lag by adding hint brushes and eliminating use of other neon colors besides blue and purple
-improved navigation
-made the secret room even more strobey (requires hr4/nr_road.jpg from the BASEBALLDUDE texture pack)
-requiredfiles: pics/mapshots/beta/neon_b13.jpg

This will go final shortly if nobody has constructive critical feedback for me.

Sorry for the delay, finally got it uploaded.

Didn't have time to look at it long, but it still has a bunch of the minor texture misalignments I pointed out in the last beta.

BASEBALLDUDE · « **Reply #152 on:** December 05, 2013, 04:14:07 PM »

I'm getting this map ready for final so I'd like to have some more feedback please.

Thank you everyone who has given me feedback. Many people are telling me that Neon is ready for final, and I think it's pretty much there. In beta 14, which can very possibly become final, I have changed the lighting and (finally) reduced the size of the neon textures.

Please make sure you have the most recent BASEBALLDUDE texture pack (included in the .zip file) because I have changed several of the hr4 textures including all neon textures, especially neonmag and credits01 (although that texture doesn't apply to this map). I also changed the mapshots for both neon and new york.

Now I must address the texture misalignments that jitspoe pointed out. I have not gotten around to fixing those and probably never will because I have determined that they are too minor to significantly hurt the map's overall state and it would be too tedious and time-consuming to fix them.

The map is also on my new server, West Side CTF.

Umm... your (

) West Side CTF doesn't show on the server list for me. I've updated and refreshed lots.

BASEBALLDUDE · « **Reply #156 on:** December 11, 2013, 12:12:50 PM »

OK the server should be up and running, let me know it it's not.

BASEBALLDUDE · « **Reply #157 on:** December 14, 2013, 07:48:10 AM »

I have decided that this release will not be final as I have decided to tweak the lighting again. I might also get around to fixing those ladders.

BASEBALLDUDE · « **Reply #158 on:** December 14, 2013, 11:08:56 AM »

Neon Beta 15 is probably final. I have fixed all major misalignments (the ladders) and adjusted the lighting a little more. I'll just attach the BSP file this time because everything from the BASEBALLDUDE texture pack is exactly the same as it was last time.
