  • Another shaggy map. :wink:
    This map has been released before, but it was a insult to the mapping community.

    This was my first map, I've now made many other maps, that haven't been released yet. Just the other day I played the old version and I thought to myself, this map had the potential to be a decent map, I just made it look really bad. So I set to work just fixing up the main errors.

    I still don't know how to do the map info file. I've made an attempt, it may not work.

  • ok, map naming conventions....

    the pk3 is : map-last_life_nex

    the .bsp file is : lastlife_nex.bsp

    the mapinfo file is : last_life_nex.mapinfo

    O_O

    I was told the _nex suffix was for porting a map from another game.
    I have no idea why the prefix of map- is needed. I've seen it in some map filenames and it's a bit confusing to me.

    There's a mapcfg file which, AFAIK, isn't used any longer since 2.4.

    It's in the NN repo http://maps.nexuizninjaz.com/map-last_life_nex.pk3

    testing out the map now :-)

  • Shaggy from the pictures i thought yeah yeah, but i just played this map and it's great. Laser jumping gymnasium, i got camped horribly but it was okay because it's so fast to get going again. Minimalism is the sHz1t.

  • The map is also a bit too open which makes it a bit on the easy nexage side as well.

    This map actually looks like a little something I was making a while back, I thought it would be nice to try my hand on a space floater DM map and it really looked a lot like this until I canned the project and then used the artwork already in place to make Apocalypse. I am tempted to take that design and apply it to the layout of this map to see what we get. I also like how the map is pretty wide, because it would be nice to have a space floater like CTF map where using laser to push eachother off the map is not the most effective game tactic :P

    What I already like about this map is that the flags are indoors which makes for a little easier defending then most space CTF maps.
