What type of map style do you prefer?
« on: May 29, 2007, 06:27:40 PM »
In developing textures for the Community Texture Pack, I'd like to know what type of maps you like to play MOST.

If you have another description/option, post a screeny.

I have lots of textures done, but I'd really like to make some for the indoor/closed/dark map style, but this is paintball and I don't know if anyone likes that kind of stuff.

Cheers,

Best map style is pretty much anything with more than one path.

Agreed, as long as it is well lit.

Do you mean, 'did a good job on the lighting ' or 'bright'?

Is that from DOOM? ???



I think Knack was just saying that a multiple path map needs to be well lit.

I guess I need to rephrase my answer.  The map should have a minimum of 2 strategically placed paths and be lit correctly.

I like maps that have a theme. Not just your everyday paintball map. That's why i like my maps.   :D

As far as textures go I am far more into tech looking maps than the ugly wood and grass maps. I realize it is paintball, but it is also fictional paintball and the look just appeals to me. I think it might also appeal to crossovers from other games.

I perfer random styles.
To me maps are not relevent.
Anything contractive is a complaint.
There is no complaining if your you are shot and dead.
Thats all on you.

Anything original.
Something new and fresh, never done before, fancy, awe inspiring.

Like a ctf map designed with no gravity in mind, relying on trigger_pushes and innovative design to make it work? I'm on it.

Like pbcup_renior mixes both indoor and outdoor qualities of a good map.  Has multiple paths.  Pretty much everything you need.
