Query: keep this map?
« on: September 09, 2008, 04:58:59 pm »
here it is:

now, it runs suprisingly well. all the paths don't take too much time to go through (esspessially the bottom one :P) but i have to ask myself now: is it reall worth keeping, or is it too bland? name = ctf_Spire.

(by the way, the red and blue parts instantly kill.)

please help. and if anyone can come up with a way to spice it up, please do help out. much appreciated,

-Ekoz

Change background colour so it doesn't look like aqua-land?

And why are you asking us if you should keep it?

ohnoes, tunnels, m79 & nades paradise. I see that nobody will use them anyways, they will backflip high and go fliying to the other base, the action is reduced to the most high part and if someone catches the flag, I recommend you to redo all tunnels, but keeping the main idea, a tunnel map through the mountain. And make background color of the same color than the board background color.

well, the tight tunnel isn't to hard to go through. like i said, it's suprisingly smooth. i thought it was gonna turn out a disater, but hey,some things just never turn out how you expect them. and i was thinking of making the lower tunnel do a bigger dip, and make little tunnels spawn that lead directly to the flags.

Tip: the tunnel is not a tunnel right now.. looks like the mountain is floating in the air :p you could have some poly's go in front of the player in the tunnel.
so it will be like this:
_________________________________________________ _____________
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
it will give 3d-effect

also if the background is ''a sunny day'' make it more light blue, and add a big sun.

good suggestion, homerofgods, i agree. Use polys to do such thing and show us the map with some changes.

I would make something near the flags
a bunker or a trench, or a little hill, or whatever
