Foundation - Stabilizing Commencing

[demoniac93]

have to disagree with those above me the more routes and possible ways to attack the more hectic it gets for bravo as they can't just camp off all routes. which imho turns it into a funner game. SuoWarrior did a map called inf_Camper(unreleased) with nice flag throwing options etc only thing wrong it was mainly one attacking route meaning as an attacker you had to smash your head against the wall time and time again to try and get the flag(not so fun). so haveing multiple ways of attacking keeps the defender at his edge, resulting in a funnier map to play.

But with too many routes comes ease for the attacking sides, these things especially emerge on inf maps.

well thats what playtesting is for. inf maps you need to playtest a lot(switching teams etc) just to see how the balance is. make some alteration playtest again and again until you get it right.
For example belltower we played 15-20 times with different kind of layouts until it was balanced.

Well I'll gladly be a map tester since I need something to keep me busy anyways. Just that the mapping.inf server asked for a password. Do I have to join the irc channel for the password or what?

well #soldat.mapping works just like #soldat.gather #sna.gather and such. so in short yes.

Does it take the regular Auth command?

Rawrs unnecessary quote train!

but uh, have any complains about the new tunnel? From what I take it, it sounds good to go; so I'll keep going as planned. Thanks for the responses; they're wonderfully inspiring.

My questions to you are included on the screenshot.

[demoniac93]

You should change the topic name. Cause what you did there isn't inf_Foundation anymore...

[zakath]

Should I make grassy hill longer? no.
Do you like this bunker or old tower more? doesn't matter bravo won't hold their defence that far out anyways.
Is this tunnel a good thing? yes makes it easier to attack but its still easy to defend(just nade).
this extra tunnel..? yes gives a a chance to alpha when under nade attack.
should I remove the 3rd window? no already got a top route will give the alpha flag runner a bit of a headstart which is good.
Maybe a tunnel here? yes still easy to defend(nadeable) but gives more options when attacking.
Is this flag position good? yep it works

[Blacksheepboy]

Yay, thank you! I love the response!

Go away, or give me a reason for your sentiments.

Ugh...You simply tampered the most balanced inf map there is out there...That's the reason.

Balanced? when we played it at #soldat.mapping alpha in 6 games didn't manage one single cap and we switched teams mixed teams etc.

When I played\play it with my mates on IBI (Internal bleeding) and the graveyard and other servs we had bravo winning more than alpha on regular days, and when alpha had a good team they would have 2-3 wins on it in a row.

The lower route has some lame barrett camping potential. (Just like some other inf maps)
Don't know if inf maps are supposed to be that way.

[Suowarrior]

That kinda flag place you got there atm is painy. Smoothing would do good.

Thanks. Suggestions taken into account. Screenshots updated.

Looking good now, waiting for playtest.
