The Drawing Board: contains sketches of possible maps. I don't think it has many inf. layouts, tho'

Made me lawl



I could name a dozen ideas for infiltration maps. Doesn't mean that they have to be easy or good, and some of them have been made before .

• Infiltration of an indian/aztec jungle or forest city
• Infiltrating a bunker/base in the hills
• Infiltrating some underground old mining area coming from above. The mines would be in the mountains
• Infiltrating a military destroyer whilst parachuting from the sky. Must be in the middle of an ocean
• Infiltration of an alien spaceship in the midst of ruins from a great ship battle by a planet
• Backwards infiltration, taking the flag from a prison in a base/bunker to the outside. Freedom! Assistance from other prisoners is potential.
• ...Backwards infiltration. Taking the flag from one side of the map to the other, there being an enemy bunker in the way. In the middle of a dense jungle with tall thick canopy.

Well, I've run out of ideas and, I'm liking some of these. Just turning them into maps would be the difficult part.

I like that one, and Ill mess around with the map maker and try to make it. Dont expect it to be good though.

It would be impossible to waypoint for bots then, since the FC uses the other team's path on the way back.

[Blacksheepboy]

Yeah, thats the problem. I was not thinking of waypointing restrictions at the time.

[MyiEye]

why is that a problem? doesn't it just mean that u only need to make one path of waypoints? But you don't really need to waypoint your map anyway.

[Keron Cyst]

True, but almost no custom maps ever get into servers anyways, so people who download them will want bot-support since they thus won't be able to be played online.

It's a lot more complicated than that. Alpha and Bravo FCs use Path 1. Bravo and Alpha FCs use Path 2. Imagine Alpha's side on ctf_Laos as RCTF. As soon as they see the Bravo flag, one will capture it, and will immediately turn backwards and start running back into the Alpha spawn zone and hitting the wall. You can't command the Alpha FC to continue towards Bravo base after getting the flag because then you're also affecting Bravo's main waypoints, who will also run towards their own base and never cap. Theoretically if you make enough paths, and if the flags are located at convenient areas, a waypointed RCTF -could- be possible to make, but I've never been able to achieve one successfully.

Luckily, I never saw inf_Invasion's wypt. job. (Alpha had to carry the black flag into the white  flag in Bravo's base)

I'm Gonna try the Ant Farm.
That'd be wicked siq.
