Suggestion: A map i'd really like to see in nexuiz.

[elli222]

I'm probably going to get flamed to some sort of hypothetical hell, but here goes:

This map, i've always wondered why this isn't in by default. I can't see many flaws in it, maybe the weapon placment is a little odd. Overall its a REALLY fun map. Good for movment tricks. It also brings the "fast paced" action that nexuiz claims to have. Its also really well textured with no errors i can see.

Map: gasolinepowered_v1r2
Licence: GNU GPL v2
Reason: Well balanced, does not encourage camping. great for any gamemode using hooks, underrated.
Extra notes: The map is of very high quality, as is the music and textures. offers excellent and fast paced gameplay, and fits well. It's name also fits as a compliment to deiselpower.

Made by: FruitieX

Probably the best feature of this map is the jumppads. with a laserjump you can go ALOT further, and speed up dramatically. Its also my favourite map to play insta CTF on. esp with a hook.

Gasolinepowered is an excellent map but sometimes if does get some major campage

Well maybe a little

Hi! Welcome
to the forum!
Though it is a very nice map, it's for sure not that high quality to match Nexuiz standards (sorry FruitieX). But it's not far from that. Also, I've seen some pretty unbalanced games too, as an experienced player can easily fly through the map with lightspeed

Sorry but no, this map is not good enough for official Nexuiz. As Brutail mentioned, one can easily fly right up to the Nex if you laser yourself on the base jump-pad. Then laser again on the Nex jump-pad to fly right into the enemys' base.
Plus, one can easily camp this map. If there even is one good Nexer he can pretty much stop almost stop all enemies from coming into the base. One basically just stands on the middle platform in the base where the Electro is. I did it once and just occasionally did one or two enemies manage to get in.

This map can be fun now and then, but far from good for official Nexuiz.

But I like that you try to get more maps as official, we really really need more maps. If you've got other suggestions we could check them out.

I agree with both c.brutail and ai about gasoline powered.

In addition, I'm not really sure why it would be important to include too many CTF maps within Nexuiz. The most popular CTF maps are not included with Nexuiz. People only play CTF locally on one of the single player levels. 99.999999% of CTF play happens on the public servers, where maps are downloaded.

I just think Nexuiz is a bit bloated as is. No need to add more maps to it if it's not necessary.

Welcome to Nexuiz and these forums. You've now been officially 4m'd.

Well, it was worth a shot

Another map i think should be in (not as much as gasolinepowered, though) is dance, by dublpaws.

But IDK the licence, and i think dance has been discussed before.

egg&bacon?

[elli222]

egg&bacon?

Actully, thats a good point.

How can you consider gasolinepowered as "too small" or "too fast from base to base" when you include eggandbacon? (which, for those who don't know, is a boxmap with the flags on ledges and a small amount of shielding in the bases & middle - you can get shot from everywhere unless you crouch)

I'd REALLY like to see the logic behind that...

[PinkRobot]

It's already been explained on a number of occasions. Egg&Bacon is only in Nexuiz because it has all weapons in one single map. As soon as someone has a replacement for it (probably not only an improvement, but a full blown excellent Nexuiz map) it will go again.
