There are many variations of soldat out there.... climb maps, race maps, dodgeball maps, cs maps, football maps.... all that stuff.

but there is one missing.

There is no Trenchwar Server.

and that's going to change. i will buy me a server with only trenchwar maps and realistic ctf mode. but for that, i will need your help. there is only one really good trenchwar map out there so far, which is ctf_complex9 by Boxo.

I want you! Make me some nice trenchwar maps! I will take good works and upload it to my server, and the author's will get admin there.

here are the basic rules for creating a trenchwar map.

1. Only one way. (small short tunnels allowed.)
2. Flag Spawns are closer to the middle of the map than Player spawns, like on b2b.
3. the maps are veeeeery flat. only small hills and trenches for cover, and not much height difference over the whole map.
4. they should be filled with small bunkers, and tactical towers.
5. Almost no jet! Even less than cs maps.
6. no big buildings, mostly all action should go on outside.

here are examples to help your imagination:
home.arcor.de/avarax/trench1.JPG ctf_moats (my work in progress trenchwar map)
home.arcor.de/avarax/trench2.JPG ctf_complex9

i'll need at least 5-7 maps to start a server. so go to work my friends

ppl intending to do a trenchwar map:

-Avarax
-Flying Dutchman

It sounds interesting

I might do one.

EDIT: You switched around the img links. Better go fix that

Damnit avarax, I was working on the SAME EXACT THING

But I'll "help."

Yea, this idea is great! Back to world war uno! Has anyone seen Boxo around lately? Cause it would be nice if he could help too.

cant wait to see... it better be R/S too... and maybe increase all damage... so anything really hurts...

Avarax · « **Reply #5 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:52:34 pm »

no, with survival you wouldnt have to fight for each centimeter.

Oh awesome stuff.
Yeah, better suited for realistic. Can't wait for it.

I don't think they need a new prefix, you could go with ctf_, and after a bunch of maps come together, you could do a mappack.

It would also be awesome with reversed flag positions too. WW2 style!

Aquarius · « **Reply #8 on:** June 30, 2006, 06:50:44 am »

A prefix would be helpful. Like in other "pseudomodes" - db, kz, rce...

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #9 on:** June 30, 2006, 08:07:01 am »

Yea, Demonics suggestion sounds great, although it would be hard to score I think.

awesome idea!
ill experiment that when the server is online

viggoloniggolo · « **Reply #11 on:** June 30, 2006, 09:59:20 am »

only trenchwar maps?

what about hide and seek soldat?

what about escaping or puzzle soldat?

dont concentrate on some trenchwar maps....

think about it, there can be something more interesting made than umm trenchwars, but a good idea nevertheless.

I like this idea // Gamemode... Might make a server for it aswell

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #13 on:** June 30, 2006, 10:38:08 am »

Well, nice flaming guys...

Anyways, everybody has a different taste. Vigg may not like it, but I and many other people do. If someone doesn't understand how this can be fun, go play Boxo's complex9 first.

flames extinguished

I like this and would probably make a server for it as well

heh... Ill make a map but itll prolly suck.

Avarax · « **Reply #17 on:** June 30, 2006, 05:20:35 pm »

aye, we got x-tender

Demonic · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2006, 07:30:41 am »

I may help ye out, but I still don't support a seperate prefix.

Mainly, because then it would go into a different section of the forums, and not in the 'Flag maps' part. Which is bad.

jrgp · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2006, 07:38:19 am »

Sounds fun and interestin, I'll make a map pack...
