New Map: LiTiCia

[MaTzeMR]

So, that is my map, it's called LiTiCia!

It actually supports 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 (but with limited gameplay and so on...)

It has 2 Flags in each base witch are worth 2x5 points.

Right below I attached some screens:

I hope you like the map and that you will vote for it !

Thanks for reading!

MatzeMR, if you're going to go for a "cave" theme with rock textures on the walls and ceilings, make sure it's well-terrained and not just 90 degree angles. If you want the 90 degree angles from wall to ceiling, I suggest you use a different texture combination.

metal_02 for the walls and metal2_5 for ceiling looks good, especially if you make those strips of light in the corners colored, corresponding to the team's color.

You should create a separate thread for your map so we can post feedback on it without cluttering up the main mapping contest thread.

I agree, could you move posts that are feedback to matze's map to a separate thread?

bullexcrement, this post isn't even 24hrs old. You started that map before the competition. Threads not 24hrs old + half the time it's been up has been while europeans were sleeping. Read the rules.

Done! Also moved the new topic to the beta/in progress maps section.

Please use beta extensions.

I'll have a look at the map and upload it to the beta server soon.

Mapping deadline is nov 30th, map gets released completely finished less then 24hrs after mapping competition starts.... how is this considered eligible l0l. Clearly a map he's been working on and likely finished before the competition even started.

l0l i agree this map had to of been worked on for a while. If it really was made in three days the chances it has on winning is minimal either way, you should spend more time before you release maps. Who do you think you are me? I usto release maps like it was my job. Rallyr i made in one day but I've been mapping alot longer then you have.

If you have all this "Time" then why not try to make a higher quality map then?

I can't look at the map right now, but here is some feedback from the screenshots:

- 2 flags in the same room seems really pointless when they're right in line of sight from each other.  Might as well have 1 flag worth 10 points.  The point of having a second flag is to make it possible to grab when a player is playing super defensively.  Since one person can defend both flags easily, there's really no point.  It actually makes it more difficult to attack, because you have to grab 2 flags in a single room, giving a defender more chances to shoot you.
- The barrel textures are misaligned (2nd rung from the bottom should be at the bottom).
- How did all the snow get into the cave?  Maybe you could open the top up a bit and show some night sky to make it more interesting and natural looking.
- The center path looks much shorter than the others.  Not sure how it plays, but you might want to alter it so it's not a straight shot from base to base.

I would much prefer you starting a new one. This is entirely my fault, when MatzeMR messaged me I was told that the map was started 3 days before the tournament, I said I would make exceptions, and so I was asked directly to allow this map.

I should have checked what state the map was in IE. If it was an early alpha that isn't playable then I see no problem but its not I didn't realise that it was so far in development.

Again my fault I should have made sure that the map had been only started on, and should have told matze this information. The map will be withdrawn given the circumstances but note that this is nothing personal it would be unfair to some other contestants to allow this map in, I was already being lenient with the rules as it was. Again my bad, I apologise but I cannot enter this map. Again very sorry MatzeMR I should have given you more information.
