Yep. Another one (blame Clueless Newbie, he said I should keep trying). Decided to try my hand at a bouncy pad typed map thing that evolved from me messing around with shapes and patterns. Hopefully this one is actually acceptable as something to play on.

Look down thread for updates from first version

Looking nice, can't wait to test it on the LazyDog's.
I had something similar in mind but now if you already done it... naaah I will probably give it a shot anyway.

Yes. It's the only way to learn how to make maps.

You might like my next idea. I want to make a map that slowly fills with lava over the course of the game causing the kind of play to change. I figured something that looks like a heavily modified version of ctf_wtf may work.

OK, tested and I'm disappointed.
Those blue/red 'flowers' are confusing. Lava kills you, that's obvious but why platforms that have normal texture also have trigger_hurt? I also feel that they should be somehow more functional. What's the point of having platforms that kill player if he fall into the void anyhow.
Jump pad ejecting player to glass platform is very annoying, I felt into the void couple of times cause I thought it will eject me to the other platform.
Assuming I was expecting more from this map I simply thought it would be more fun, however I haven't played on full server maybe it will be better.

Whoah like sudden death in worms, cool.
I've planned to use bobing lava brush to kill everyone on map to force turn based gameplay.

I played with Wilu and came to the same conclusion. I also think the Nex on the high platforms will encourage serious sniper camping, and this will really annoy most of the other players.

Yes but the platforms are small and have holes in them to discourage sniping despite the position. I was also thinking of trapping them in some way.

I was thinking of adding more jump pads and platforms with function but I couldnt be bothered. The patterns are infact there mostly just as decoration. I was contemplating making them walkable just for fun. More suggestions welcome.

EDIT: Ok v1r1 is now compiling

Change list:

Added another few jump pads with useful functioning.

Made the patterns walkable and added more so you can now travel across the map. The multicoloured areas do damage in the middle which increases the further in you go.

There is now only 1 nex.

Added a little lighting and smallened the box around the map.

I will make a new post with the map included once it finishes compiling.

New screenie



I'm annoyed the lighting did jack shit. Oh well.

"0 items found"

Works for me... items all around.

Just before the error msg DivVerent cited:
The folder you have tried to view is set to private and is not viewable! (-422)

Maybe it only works in IE (see avatar)? Then could someone else download it and put it on REAL webspace, where EVERYONE can download it?

My avatar isnt a 404 if thats what you think

Anyway see if this works. Sorry I dont have access to any better hosting. Mediafire at any rate is a lot better than some of the other free options available to me.
