ctf_greatwall (beta 1)

I was originally thinking of doing something a bit similar to that. . . though my idea involved just not placing a return teleporter into the small bunkers, meaning that getting the nex would be a one-way trip

About the jump pads...



The push direction should not point "inside" the jump pad... BTW, this will probably break in the next Nexuiz version since hitting something makes you slightly slower, which will make the player drop into the lava after using the jump pad. Fixing it would mean changing the angle of the jump pad object on the map or to change the direction the pad pushes.

I still haven't found out what the exact issue with the black flickering was, but I cleaned up your map (marked smaller non-relevant brushes as detail, removed the big box around the map (you should NEVER EVER do that to fix leak messages!), changed some lighting parameters and rebuilt + retuned the launch pads) and the bug is gone now.

You can download it at http://141.2.16.3:7780/inofficial/ctf_greatwall_rev2.pk3. Can I run this edited and renamed version of the map on my server?

Oh, and my map compile settings:

-bsp phase: -samplesize 8
-vis phase:
-light phase: -fast -patchshadows -samples 3 -bounce 3

I have played this map only once, but I can tell you it was very fun to play!

Good job there!

Wow, thank you! I figured this was all but forgotten by now. I won't be able to play it for a few days, but just the fact that you put so much effort into helping make my map more playable Feel free to run it on your server, renamed and everything - I'm sure it's a much better experience now with your revising than it was with my rough release

Well, simple reason... Nexuiz 2.0 can automatically download missing maps. And I went through some web server directories and checked all old maps on 2.0 - and fixed some things if needed.

There's a waypoint file for rev2. Install it either by putting it into a /data/maps directory in the packfile or into Nexuiz/data/data/maps. It works pretty well, though they sometimes like to get stuck in an ammo-hoarding loop or inside of the bunkers, but you can laser them onto a main path. For the most part they keep active, though.

I've been thinking about doing some updates to this map, and I've been throwing around some ideas; I can't guarantee anything at the moment, though, as I have a couple of personal projects lined up.
