Hope you have fun with that!

EDIT: latest version http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=70079#70079

Looks nice, simple, and fun. Will test it out today.

Looks very simplistic..looks too UT'ey again for me..but it looks great (map layout wise from what i can see in the pics..you maybe finally made a map that will play / be fast paced (movement wise) and good! (not you personally, i mean in general you may have made a very nice good ctf map playwise..there isn't many about but only play testing shall tell! )

Not sure about all the health packs and health pickups mind you..not really liking that looks over-kill but we'll see.

gunna go test now

I dislike that the two flags are so close to each other

agreed, needs to be a bit further apart.

Or put something in the way so it'll be harder to get to the flag. Alternate routes.

Agreed. Like a giant statue of me

The map is fun, and a real slaughterhouse with a full house on my server (18). Some complained of lag, though I didn't experience any. Is this a port of a Q1 map?

any serious ideas what can i put in the way

my favourit atm moment is a big "kojn is lazier then Morfar" banner.

Are you UT addicted or looks everything UT'ey for you?

GreEn`mArine wrote:I dislike that the two flags are so close to each other

They arent close to each other there is only nothing in the way so it seems so.

No it isnt!

well, you should block the possibility to get from flag do flag in a straight line.

like a wall of glass, so you're forced to use other routes.

It does look too UT'ey, can't you increase the details in some places? at the moment it reminds me way too much of CTF-November in UT excet it doesn't have a big submarine in the way

never played that map so dunno

What the hell CTF November is totaly different to this map
You play definitely to much UT

Anyway i put some of tZorks turrets on this map

Beware the turrets are highly instable with Nexuiz 2.3

So you want him to add details, so it doesn't like UT'ey, but UT2k3'ey?

a new version




thx to morphed who made some nice textures for this map

download: http://files.filefront.com/gforce2pk3/; ... einfo.html

enjoy hopefully you will like it

2 reds flags

+

Code: Select all

maps/gforce2.bsp: could not load texture for missing shader "textures/morph_gfrc_text/redliquid"
maps/gforce2.bsp: could not load texture for missing shader "textures/morph_gfrc_text/blueliquid"
maps/gforce2.bsp: could not load texture for missing shader "textures/NULL"

+ z-fighting




= deserve a new package

fixed since yesterday

I get the not fixed version on {}.
But your fixed version as still that horrible z-fighting on both sides

gforce was so beautiful in it's simplicity and flow. I feel like this ~remix~ doesn't do it justice. I'd suggest you go back to the roots of what made this map so great and expand upon that.

Making the actually map bigger and moving the flags back would be a good start. Maybe more bends in the hallways with intersection or even 2nd story enclosed hallways would be a nice touch. Don't sell this map short.

Ronan: dunno where the problem is. i try it on many different solutions and i found nothing, also in the radiant i found nothing.

z: the flags where always defined to be there. this is no remix . its v2 of this map and this map was never great.

I think you're cutting yourself short on the quality of v1.

Heh Z teh map luddite
He said the the same about Begrot an early version of a map i made, that the early, basic, no frills version was better. I guess it's a part of mapping to keep in mind the ideas and reasons you had early on when you are editing after testing. I really like the feedback from mappers on this forum and players while playing on maps i made but it can be the case that peeps get attached to a part of the map that you don't like or didn't intend and later on they say nooo bring it back.
Well i guess that's the frisson of open source gaming, and i got to say that this is the main thing about nex that gets me, it's OUR game. Well we dint make it but we add to it so it's ours. Proprietary games, and I've played a lot of them, just don't do this.
Nexuiz Wooooots

The problem I have with this map is that it lacks flow (abstract, I know). There is no logical division, and it is all basically on 2 planes, and upper and lower, which makes it sort of uninteresting. It does suit a lot of people though, which is good.

hey torus how goes it? your avatar rocks, you made this?

Nah, I didn't make my av. I made my sig though.

I'm doing pretty well, thanks!

version 3 this time with turrets

before you can play with turrets you have to type

exec turrets.cfg and set g_turrets 1




download

http://files.filefront.com/gforce3pk3/; ... einfo.html

What i didn't like about this map was the fact that
1. it is an almost straight line from one flag to the other and
2. because the flag is higher than spawnpoints in a room full of rockets and grenade launchers defending is almost impossible.

I hope that turrets will add a much needed defensive improvement in nexuiz ctf generally.

I have not yet tested this version (downloading atm) but i really liked the older ones. Defending was ok, attacking too. Had some rather cool matches on that map..

I tried getting the turrets running with this map on a 2.4 server, but it didn't work.

I found the files to download here....
http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopi ... 1999#31999

where it has the file for the server and the file to download for the clients. I put the client file on maps.nexuizninjaz.com and I placed the other file in /data on the server. I then exec'd turrets.cfg and that went successfully, and then I set g_turrets 1.

Then I loaded gforce3 and....no turrets. I didn't see any download happen for the client file. Maybe that's the reason? Any ideas?

BTW i'm sure server admins will hate the fact that you included a progs.dat in the pk3 file. It means that when they just put your map in Nexiuz/data they will use the progs.dat and it really seems like a old version of the basic code.. Better make your map NOT include that file but make it an other download so server admins can use the map.. i know at least one admin that does not use the map because of this..
