simple symmetrical CTF map

I tried limit spawning at base, camping with nex and straight path from flag to flag and make it fully playable w/o laser jumping where still nice jumping tricks can be done

edit: now it have working bots

I've played here.

Good map.
It's a shame nexuiz is too much like quake that I can't test a RL jump out

Nice map, like most of your maps.

This is a new map?

I've played accident quite a few times and I like it. I didn't like it at first until I learned about the upper level and ways to jump between upper/lower levels. There are essentially three paths to travel for the FC. I've found that it can be difficult to defend the base if the flag carrier successfully jumps to the level 2 exit (that little opening) for a quick getaway. So defense has to have someone in that upper area ready to intercept or else the FC gets a pretty quick cap.

Shaggy: thx

Dokujisan, if he jump there and chose tunnel, you can run fast to the map center and jump inside tunnel from there, you should be able to catch him because tunnel entrance and exit are big slowdown for bunny hoppers

it was available on ctf+ex server, this one have improved graphics and small layout changes for more interesting gameplay

Good map Morphed. Looks like your best yet

The only thing I don't like is the lift/elevator sound you can heard in the middle of the map, no triggered by any player (maybe it is used like an ambient sound). So I always have the feeling someone is around me, even if I play alone

Otherwise I like the gameplay, good job

I really enjoy this map. Good work.

I really like the layout changes to this map- they open it up, and make it feel more finished. Also, eye candy is always good

A group of us just played this map (ver. 2) tonight and it was the general consensus that we liked version 1 better. If nothing else, that noise in the middle of the map has to go. I think a few seemed to prefer the lack of teleporters in the first one. I liked the first version of this map, so I'll try to give some more detailed feedback after playing it some more.

Yeah the noises in the map are pretty annoying, hard to hear anything else. isn't it possible to make silenced elevators?
The layout is nice though i would like a little more space around the flag.

I definitely like version 2 better. The connection in the middle is a very nice touch.

why is it called "Accident"?

Maybe it was made by accident. Who knows?
I actually thought, the old one was fun to play. And now an improved one? Heck, why not?

Played the map a few times by now.. i would not call it simple in regard to the gameplay, the different routes can be quite a twist when trying to return your flag. And for some reason it took really long till i found the RL
I really like the map by now though, just the lifts are annoying but i think divVerent gave you an hint at what might cause it. Maybe it can be fixed..

Bug Report

Map: accident_v2
Nexuiz version: 2.4.2 SVN
Bug: The teleporter at both bases doesn't work.



But the teleporter at the top of the base works!

Sure, a map bug that happens since svn got exact trigger brushes. It actually is the only map broken by it. The teleporter needs a solid trigger brush, then it works.

Morphed knows about it, but hasn't released a new version of the map yet.

What does solid mean in this context? Usually I set my trigger boxes to be detail rather than solid. Will thius break them? (Or does it mean you can't use non-volumetric itemes as trigger brushes?

i used that starfield texture for a portal trigger and its water texture (it dont look like water but behave in same way) it worked in 2.4.2 but doesnt work in svn and future versions
so solid means not-water

It means that trigger brushes must be common/trigger and nothing else. They always were DESCRIBED to have to be common/trigger, and now there was a change breaking trigger brushes that use a water texture.

Always use common/trigger on them. Making them detail is useless, as trigger brushes are not used for generating portals (but on the other hand, it also does not hurt - it is simply ignored).
