Hey guys this is a small three path CTF meant for fast action. This is by far the smallest map I've ever worked on. Also I know the name sounds cheesy but I couldn't think of anything else.
Anyways the first download is the beta 1 including one ctp1 texture included for those of you who haven't downloaded (dirt something 4). Then a screenshots of each base.

1. Got any more pics? Perhaps one from above?
2. The straight walls look boxy and ugly $:-\$

Note: The CTP texture needs to go into a folder in your textures folder called "ctp1".

About the map:
Pros
-Plays fast
-"Multiple paths"
-Lit well

Cons
-Very basic
-Autococker is too big for small map
-The top area is hollowed out, maybe there would be a way to get in there?

@y00tz
Number 1 very basic.... what would you suggest to make it less basic? That was kind of the point but I suppose I could change.
Number 2 do you think I should replace with another gun? Maybe a carbine and make players start with VMs?
Number 3 I was thinking of that but I couldn't think of a way for people to get up there without changing the whole structure can you think of anything?
I'll fix the ctp1 texture with the next beta.
@Cobo
On the next beta I suppose I could make the bases more like in this pic would that be good?

I haven't looked at the map yet at all but if it is like I think Stingrays might be a good choice.

you got some magical half floating crates that look funny to me.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:32:59 PM »

Spook and his high fov lol.
I'll fix it in the next beta Spook I thought I fixed thoughs that's all the ground on either side is confusing that's all.

What's with gun type "medium" or "high"? So there are sometimes cockers, but sometimes also other guns.

Do you mean in the center if so I suppose I could do that.

Is that from the side or from above?
Making everything the same wouldnt be any good either, try to make random stuff.

Corporal Perez · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:50:45 PM »

seems like the blue team have an advantage?

?

Spook · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:54:51 PM »

the map is perfectly symmetrical so both teams have the same advantages.

apoc: it's just fov 160 =]

Apocalypse · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:56:58 PM »

Spook it's much higher then my 90 lol.
It's from the top Cobo also what do you mean by everything?

Chef-Killer · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:58:50 PM »

I mean in the player spawn.

Should be this:

Code: [Select]

"GiveGun" "high"

Apocalypse · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2007, 12:59:46 PM »

Ok thought you were talking about the gun in the centre that sounds good.
Edit: Eeek post count 666

Hmm.... it would take a bit longer but I suppose I could do it in beta 2.

Cobo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2007, 01:43:42 PM »

It's pretty easy with the shear tool in BSP.
Default is pressing ctrl+shift and left clicking. It will allow you to move a single face without moving the whole brush.

Alright thanks.

I can't see much from the screenshots, but i will download and play it.

Edit:

Things i noticed:

Don't know if it's supposed to be this way, but the crates are always in the way, so it's hard to get going fast.

Spawn points need to be rotated. Set them away from the base. (see pic) so for the top, it would be

Code: [Select]

"classname" "info_player_deathmatch"
"angle" "270"

which is "south" in bsp

then for the bottom, do

Code: [Select]

"classname" "info_player_deathmatch"
"angle" "90"

which is "north".

edit again: oops, forgot to upload the pic
