[cujp]

http://www.kingpinforever.com/cujodesign/projects.html


download should be ready friday in maps page i have lot of plain for new maps for paintball and other stuff  other mapper have  maps release soon. so far the 2 maps in testing look and plays good won't know till lot test it so friday check it out    


pack be 71mb

They look great!  Small suggestion, though -- it's hard to tell from the screenshots, but it looks like your map is loaded with full auto guns.  It's best to keep those at a minimum -- makes the game more challenging, not just a spray fest.  Better to just have a couple per map located in some more out-of-the-way places.

wide open spaces? might be good in other games but...

we'll see when the maps come out

[FourthX]

Good looking stuff man.

[cujp]

working on the pack

[FourthX]

Let me know when they are ready for public servers. Try and get a few people together and test them on a listen server. ALso you need to make jpegs of the textures, it will take way too long for someone to dl them in-server, on top of that you need .wal files for the people who still use q2+mod to play.

[cujp]

well if very one download this betapack  all textures and maps in the pack  i ran these map with other they seem to run nicely kingpin useing tga there lot more detailed then pball textures they seem download about the same.

[FourthX]

Q2 users will not be able to play these at all. And besides alot of people will end up playing because they just hit the server, we have many new players now. So having jpgs will make a big difference to them. I won't put them on Depot servers without jpegs and .wal files instead of the tgas.

[cujp]

mmm ok see what i can do

Re:  i am not sure how to add wals file mybe you help in this area all textures are jpg 13mb  ^paintballpack.zip

[Eiii]

let's see...now i can reveiw them!

dogpound--
WAAAAY to small. and one of the spawn points is off the map, and when i run pball, i get fps of 50-40, but w/ this map i got 20. It's too small, and too complicated.
Ps--did anyone tell you that this is a CTF OREINTED GAME??? i don't see a flag...
Next map.

losthalls--
This one's okay...but too dmish. if it was dm, and a bit bigger it would be good. whole ctf thing again.

sickre--
This one has some potential..as a dm map. don't see many of those. problems: lack of guns, the only ones i could find were autocockers, ect.

tmc--
YAY! one that looks like it might be made for ctf!!!

might...
big open spaces w/ only a large pile of crates: bad. no flag: bad. Lack of guns/ really good guns: bad.


You have to play the game some before you map for it, k? youve obviously been mapping for a long time, but play the game some. it'll make your maps lots better.

[FourthX]

eii made some good points, a couple of those maps would make better deathmatch maps than ctf/team elim maps. The one that you did put flags in seems good as it is though.

[FourthX]

Make sure you set the right worldspawn variables.

for dm maps use...

gamemode 1


for 2 flag it's

gamemode 4


and for 1 flag ctf (which maybe one of those maps could be) use...

gamemode 2


If the map is set to dm it will start instantly even if there's just one player on.

This is pretty much up to date except for the fact that the servers don't use 300 rd hoppers, they end up as 200 rd hoppers instead.

You don't actually have to put grenades unless you really want one to spawn in a specific area. The server will generate a couple every rd scattered near the spawn points.

"type" "type of grenade"
Grenade types are "smoke" or "paint"

the grenade will be random.

"teamnumber" "#"
for team-spacific grenades

"angle" "-1"
makes the grenade spawn right where you
put it instead of in a random proximity

"count" "1"
always spawns grenades there in addition
to the number of grenades set by the server

"group" "###"
Grenades that have the same group number will be the same.
