i was getting fed up with myhood, so i was gonna try and make a map with no leaks and use real lighting. a kid who was over at my house wanted to make a racetrack level, so i made it. it's a 1 flag level, the flag is on the finish line, the bases are the grandstands. run around the track, grab the flag, and return it to your base. if you use the "speedometer" command, you can see that you can go over 120 mph on this track. it will be up on my server if you want to try it today.

you can download it farther down

a weee bit dark too

Yeah, you need to make it brighter. The easiest way to do that is to make a custom compiler batch file and add -scale to the rad line. I'd probably use -scale 3.

i played it not long ago it was boring as hell especially that spawn camper tossing nades every second

the main point of this map was for me to see if i could do real lighting

i just thought some people might like it

well, I had once build something similar, but never released it.. I have to admit, yours looks better

one thing you really have to change tho: as it is a map with White Flag, the flag will have to be returned to the opposite base. In this map, tho, you want the flag to be returned at your own base, so you have to switch the base triggers around. Otherwise the one team will not have to race a full round, while the other has to race more than 1 lap.

The map looks very good- nice texture selection and all that. But, (as usual) I can't see it being very good for gameplay. You're improving, keep it up!

yeah i will admit the maps are getting better

A Paintball Mario Cart track. Not bad, not bad.

Its gonna need barrels and cars on fire in the middle of the track. Moving cars would be the coolest...on fire.
It'd suck if you just left it open, I'd play oddjob over it anytime.

thanks, im sorry eiii, i cant help making my maps based more on fun than strategy. in this map, you can just compare top speeds and see who can go the fastest. ill try to make a strategic map next

i suppose myhood is kinda dead... i'm too lazy to fix the leaks and there are way too many entities

and also, jitspoe, could you explain that in more detail? i'm sorry for being a noob again, but i don't really understand that.

hmm... i had an interesting idea, but i'm not sure this would work... a way so you would have to do some laps before it spawns the flag? but i dont know how you could get everything to reset after the flag has been capped...

medley crew: the menu items in the BSP export menu are actually just batch files (*.bat). You can edit these files or add new ones to customize the compile process. Open up c:\bsp\pball2\bats, then copy "final compile.bat" to, say, "final compile scale 3.bat". Right click on it and go to edit, then change it to look like this:

call ..\compilers\qbsp %1
call ..\compilers\vis -level 4 %1
call ..\compilers\rad -scale 3 -extra %1
call ..\compilers\runmap %1

ok, i've added some barrels on the sides to make it more complicated. i also set to scale to 3 and it seems to be working. i also made it so you have to return to the opponents base to cap. it also supports elim now as well as 1 flag. it's compiling now, so i will post new screenshots when it's done.

and here is a shot showing the barrel arrangment

that really does look pretty coo but the couple of times i went into your server to try it out noone was there so i was just going round in circles to see how many times i could do it without hitting the wall but its a good map keep up the good work!

OMG! YES!!! I'm with loial on that one! Racetrack + speed-boosting patches/ramps would rock, I mean c'mon, you gotta hit really high speeds on this for it to be fun.
