Map ideas [Paintings of map ideas searched]
« on: September 12, 2012, 04:41:15 am »
Hey guys, im not such a good ctf layout maker and i dont get soo quick ideas, but i know how to handle the map making part.

Has someone a IDEA / WISH of a map?

All i need is a drawing of it in paint, so i see what basic layout the map should have, also a theme would be nice.
Dont be shy, i'm up for almost everything  ;D

Regards, Loki

here's a map I made just for you. You can see this as a modification of ctf_Snakebyte.
the idea is that it has 2 buildings that players CANNOT pass through, just camp there.
cave themed. good luck ;)

Also, how you mean the buildings, NOONE AT ALL should can move trough them? So, they're basicly to balance the routes i guess?
Yep, otherwise it would be too similar to snakebyte, with the middle route being too fast

just ideas but i can give you more insight if you're interested. especially the second one would require to be pretty much exactly the way it's sketched in order for it to function at all, or that's how i see it in my head

I just had an idea. Don't think it deserves an own thread quite yet, so I'll post it here:

Zakath remembered right. The map is Ctf_towers but the only semelhance are the castles around the flags. There is an extension, ctf_towers2.

I was just reading the comments back in 2008 and things used to be more active, I miss those days.

Well, the original idea was to make it somewhat like the buildings on Cathedral (but not as churches):

Uh sexy screen, i dont have that map, maybe attach it to your post for me?

I could steal a bit the polygons and ideas from there and save myself time, im having so much maps in work at the time that it really could help me alot  :)

The screen is taken from my Trenchwar remake of ctf_Cathedral (mostly played in TTW gathers).

You can find the original here: http://tms.jrgp.org/2010/?map=1078
.. and my remake here: http://tms.jrgp.org/2010/?map=1732

However, my idea for this new ctf map wasn't to use those exact buildings as they've already been used for two different maps. I suppose you could use parts of the background wall and the texture to get those nice bricks and it could be made in 2 floors in a similar manner, but I don't think it's necessary to copy all of the polygons once more.

If you want to we could cooperate on this project, so you'll do some and I do some. Could easen the burden on your part.
