More DM/CTF maps added in 2.5 as standard maps

Postby Chubby » Sat Oct 25, 2008 10:18 pm

I think there must be more DM and CTF maps added in 2.5. I don't know if I'm the only one who likes to practice movement or tests offline, but I do.

I was thinking about those maps:

CTF:
Greatwall
Facing
MikeCTF
Towers
Lavaflag
Dusty

DM:
Lots of the "Daily Q3 maps" by Strahlemann

How do you guys think about this?

It's not that simple. Everything included in Nexuiz has to be entirely GPL, which none of those maps are. Still, I'd like to see at least one new map added to Nexuiz:

Dance.

Under-developed, too open, it's in a box...

Remake from another game, not sure if this can even be included

I think there are some licensing issues here

Chubby wrote:Towers

Is this a joke? This has to be a joke, please tell me this is a joke. This map has what 2 textures? Gray and lava. Ugly, broken and in a box.

Chubby wrote:Lavaflag

Nice shapes but too open and basic, I believe it may be buggy as well.

Chubby wrote:Dusty

_v2 is an improvement but again it's underdeveloped compared to the core maps.

Chubby wrote:DM:

Converts... I'm assuming licensing issues here?

While I think this is a fun map, I don't think it's worthy of the core. Aside from the fact it's a giant Warsow logo, I don't think it really fits

The only map out that list that can bring a candle to any of the current core maps is MikeCTF. Take a close look at the amount of detail that goes into the core maps. They far exceed any of these.

If any new maps get added to the core, I'd say it should be Silver City Reloaded.

MikeCTF is from Q3:A, so that one can't be. Also, it seems to have issues with lagging the server (no idea why).

I think Dance IS worthy- it's an extremely well laid-out map. Funny about the warsow logo though.

As the current criteria stands, only all around high quality Strahlemann DM maps + Strahlemann DM -> CTF conversions are included in base Nexuiz.

I'd say these are probably the closest to Strahlemann's quality after quickly browsing the repo.

http://maps.nexuizninjaz.com/map-cb_dm1v2r1.pk3
http://maps.nexuizninjaz.com/gasolinepowered_v1r2.pk3

I think sev's maps are great quality but probably don't fit the theme well enough?

Treasure Island is all encompassing, he has built one hell of an environment and has probably created one of the best maps in terms of quality outside Strahlemann's beloved bunch.

His Cleft Village maps are also great in terms of environment development and attention to detail.


I know this may drop some jaws... but mikeeusa's Slimepipe is pretty damn good. It may be too large/laggy for many computers though.

Gasoline is NOT good enough in its present state. The stairs are non-functional, it's too small, parts of it are incongruous (the glass ramp), and the jumppads are buggy. If it were scaled up, fixed up, etc, it would be great.

Doesn't work for me. I need the maps as they are packed in the 35 map pack.

And -z-, I'm not kidding about the maps I posted.
