[MAP] Sierpinski (beta 2)

[divVerent]

Starting on Friday, I decided to make another fun map... this time: a large sniper CTF map, needing at least 6 players and it can probably take 14 of them. Screenshot:



Sorry, wrong image...

I also included a TDM configuration, no idea if anyone will use it. Somehow I don't like how the water in Nexuiz is (just like on oilrig), but one can live with it.

Have fun!

Note: there is another way to the flag... but it isn't really hidden. Just one hint: these light triangles are all teleporters... there are some more of them.

Edit: I didn't make bot waypoints because I found no way of preventing to get stuck in a jumppad cycle (you can only leave it using air control).

O dear, this is going to be a mess

Yes, already tried it on some "unsuspecting victims" when it was darker...

and used some feedback (the water was too low, the flags too hard to find) to improve it (the latter should have become much better with the brighter lighting).

This map is hilarious to play. I don't think I've ever played a game that actually induced my fear of heights quite like this did. Good job!

[divVerent]

bluesky is higher... but yes, you don't really "feel" the height on bluesky...

BTW, I just replaced the beta2 by a slightly improved version (but since no other changes were done, I kept the file name). All I did: I darkened the skybox so the teleport triangles are visible even with bloom or HDR. That really was annoying before...

does anyone know a better free skybox for this?

Have yet to play the map online but it looks really cool. Though very confusing too
I really like your funmaps!

There is one problem with it: it doesn't work right in 2.0. It does work right on 2.0.1 or on my Nexuiz server (the one that runs the map, the RBI extra maps one). Reason: the Nex shoot length was too low...

And I changed beta2 again by adding spawnpoints on the top Nex platforms so people who spawn there see their flag - that should make it easier to learn playing the map and make defense a bit stronger.
