I finally worked out some bugs, Fixed a few things I missed and packed the whole deal up. This map now has better
bot support.. (They'll cap as long as you keep em busy!) ..As well as both ANIMATED and NON animated versions of the
map. The bots could admittably be better but this is only my second map so far.. If anyone wants to troubleshoot it, The problem area in question is getting the bots to return from the
flag zones with their prize.
 
 As usual, Details and suggestions are welcome.

Nice graphics! But I need to test the gameplay first before my final judge.

Keep maps like this one coming!

[Monsteri]

WOW, this looks so amazing!    I hope it's as good to play as it looks like. You forget to tell, is there waypoints  It looks SO lots of better than facing brinstar.

 I pretty much been tinkering with game editors and mappers for years, But game theory is pretty much the same between games, Once you learn the tools and the game mechanics. X3 I welcome any suggestions to the flow or playability of the map.

 Believe it or not, I rushed a few of the graphic tiles just to see if the effect would work or not.. But thank you!

 Yeah, There's waypoints but I'm still having trouble in some places with the bots getting stuck or acting like idiots, But this IS only my second map so far.. X3 This one has em, Basic tho they be.

Dude, I'm impressed. It ought to be best that you waypoint your own maps and learn what goes on behind that, but if ever you need help with something you just can't get handled, I'd be glad to patch it up for you. Should I be all domineering and establish my credibility or not...?

 Thanks. I AM trying to waypoint, But it seems to be a tad more frustrating than it is to do in other games. Just when you think you've got the bots moving flawlessly, One gets themself stuck in a corner or such and you're stuck redoing an entire set of wypnts. XD

I just played this, and first it was boring, but then I added ten bots to both sides, and something started to happen. No, this map started to rock!   Gif animating looks great, and it didn't make my FPS much lower. There is one polybug in start of the little midlle hill (bottom). In Bravo base, above underground, Sky will be seen through second floors floor, and too from highest floors floor.  It shows to us himself too through the bravo's laserstack. You have copied these buildings to Alpha side, and same things are there wrong too. You see these in polyworks, if you click out wireframe and zoom a way close. Waypoints are OK on earth, but under it bots are getting stuck. Keep a work on it, and this is coming to map of the year .

[Mittsu]

Leo, come on, add this map

[Blacksheepboy]

One gets themself stuck in a corner

Yeah that is a bitch.

[demoniac93]

Holy jumping hotdogs from hell O_O
This...This is amazing.

P.S: Played it, and it's really well balanced, just tighten the middle of the lowest catacombs vertically.

 If you mean the 'split' lines in some of the building/Tower walls, This is due to a graphics bug more than the game or alignment issues. Basically for some silly reason CS2/CS3 like to blur the edges of something cut via marquee. (Leaving a 1-pixel blur on the edges. ) Trying to find a way to fix this as you can see, It leaves thin split lines here and there. I was having a similar problem with Facing BrinStar as well, As can be seen in some of the brickwork when you move the camera left or right.

 As for the bots, They work okay though it seems the alpha team caps more and is more agressive than the beta team. I heard I can make one set of waypoints then copy-flip mirror them in PolyWorks, But not tried this yet.

 I'm assuming you mean the 'x' with the two mounted guns in the catacombs though I'm trying to get what ou mean by tightening.. Do you mean like close the gap between the left & right middle rocks..?

[Monsteri]

Yeah, I ment that.

There is one polybug in start of the little midlle hill (bottom)

And this really is polybug, because when I ran towards of it, it BOOMED me far away. I'm speaking about the``X´´ hill in bottom of the map.

Nah, just decrease it's height.

[Dr.DR4IG]

Nah, just decrease it's height.

 Already done. Also moved the STAT guns on the base roofs closer to their respective edges to make defending the base main entrance easier and cleaned up the bot routing to the best of my current ability.
