CTF Rust - my return to the mapping scene

[Mistercharles]

     After a long break from mapping, I decided to come back with this little ctf. Although I didn't intend it, the gameplay is similiar to Equinox. 1922 polgyons in roughly 90 minutes, with scenery, spawnpoints, and testing adding on 40 minutes to that. Although it looks mirrored in the overview, I displaced the terrain a bit here and there on one side to keep it from being exactly mirrored.

I should speak for myself , but the dark and light shades seem extreme, it makes the map look flat. Edit: The shading does look good in-game. Otherwise, it looks nice. Looks like it would be fun to play, and the scenery is really good.

Edit: You were gone?

i dont really like mirrored maps but you would only notice that when your looking at the whole map. Good job though

[GluLm]

I kind of disagree wit Wraithlike there. The shading is pretty good! Plus it's different on each side. Good job on keeping a full brow theme.
The only minus would be the blue water in my opinion, which ought to be dark brown / greyish / dark green... Other than that it's an excellent ctf map!
Also it should not be too hard to waypoint (not that we need any hehe).

Eh, I just stopped releasing serious maps (ex. vortex didn't count).

Like I said before, there are subtle differences between both sides.

I'm working on a version 1.1 right now which will improve shading, and make it less mirrored.

Thanks GluLm. About the water, I tried tinting some green around the water, but it clashed horribly with the rest of the map :\

I like the shadin, but looks too ....default to me. but otherwise it's cool map. I like the color.

i like mirrored maps, they cant whine about how it is unfair.

[viggoloniggolo]

the shading is nice and the poly placement is nice but that is all to it.

the lack of scenery and no texture twisting or multitexturing, no special features.

would get a 5/10 since it covers only half of a great map needs.

fix it?

I can see from the overview that it's not exactly mirrored (whoopee!!).

It's great, just like your other maps, but I must agree with Glu, shouldn't the water be a bit more brownish?

I tried to make the map look desolate, but I guess that just made it look like I was lazy

I'm new to multi-texturing, and I still can't get it to look right, so I'm just sticking with standard texturing techniques. While playing, you will notice I did a lot of texture stretching, but it's not as extreme as some maps, so it's kindahard to notice. But there is stretching.

Verson 1.2 will sport correctly colored water, some trees and starf (oh the joy), fixed bridge collision, and a gameplay fix (currectly, the players can just fly across the chasm if they take the top route).

[viggoloniggolo]

want me to ballist the scenery up a little or you will do it yourself?

[Fraggy]

omg i like it, dont be so mean to him!

[Wraithlike]

Rabid, I think the stretching is fine it's supposed to be subtle to make the map less repetitive.

 If you wanted Vig to like your stretching, it would have to look like this (not ment to insult vig, I'm just an asshole.)

[Eagles_Arrows]

Ouch.  That's a bit too extreme.

[BondJamesBond]

aghh.. it looks a little... bleh?

[viggoloniggolo]

that was my old pippo map made by mapmaker.
I think i know how to fix it omg...

How do you stretch textures?

[Will]

texture stretch tool?


The map is really nice! I like the gameplay, but I don't think it's too similiar to equinox because of the many routes. Would you allow me to pack this map with mine and slayers upcoming mod? I can send you the mod so you can try it. Pretty intense and it would work quite well with the map...

[LtKillroy]

I like it becuase I'm a fan of mirrored for one reason or the other, and this looks good. Kind of generic, though. I dislike the top part though, too many sniper campers just destroying anyone trying to go that way.

[Demonic]

Ooooookay, Kevin, please check the date next time before posting ( or just don't post in several month old topics ).

Lock'd.
