"Show some Love for CTF" {Voting Closed: Results Are In!}

[Mr. X]

I doubt that would help, Korby, as you could still be knocked backwards out of the beams.  To be brutally honest, to me, that map is one of those that's fundamentally flawed to the point that it would be easier and better to simply start over rather than trying to fix what's there.  It's horribly open on the top floor, the bottom floor has low gravity for no reason making it annoying to move around, the outside portion is kind of just there, the ladders in the base make it annoying to get to the flag, I could go on and on.

Mr. X (besides saying what I did in a nicer way) brought up something I forgot.

LOW GRAVITY IN THE LOWER PATH. WHY YOU DO THIS.

If you need to jet up to the upper path, put in some more tractor beams like with Crystal Eye, or shove in more ladders, or put in a Gyro Fan or two. The whole area doesn't need to have floaty jump space boot syndrome, especially since the ceiling was so darn low it just made jumping pointless anyway.

But yeah, I actually liked the low path. And the bases.

The rest was bad though.

Hey, I was looking at the Entries In list and noticed my name wasnt up there and I was kinda wondering why.

One of the main non-texture complaints I get about my map seem to be the ladders to the flag. I'm pretty darn sure I'm not allowed to edit my map, especially seeing as we've already tested it, but if I lowered the height of the flag and made the ladders tractor beams instead, would that help?

I guess, maybe gyro propellers instead so it just pushes you up instantly?  Not to sure.

Also, I actually liked the ladders. One of the problems of CTF is that nobody wants to be the Team Mom and babysit the flag, and with the simplistic design of bases these days people can just run in and WHOOP -- now the flag's gone and FUCKIN' EVERYBODY is trying to chase after the thing.

With the ladders being there, it helps the few defenders do their job better. Knight Crush is a great tool to use when defending, but Super Arm can also get the job done. I'd prefer if you put Ring Boomerang or Dust Crusher somewhere just to make my life easier, but I'm not complaining.

And then you climb up to be greeted by 3 people, one being Shmeckie.  Need I say the result?

Hey, I was looking at the Entries In list and noticed my name wasn't up there and I was kinda wondering why.

Probably forgot, most of us know which map is yours if I remember correctly.  You're also in the second list in green meaning you submitted a map.

On that note I didn't get to play yesterday until the public release although I'm a contestant., not that its too big of a concern though.

sorry my brother is on the computer and wont get off. I have to wait for him and hes not even doing anything. Also using an ipod is awkward.
EDIT: NVM he got off because dad told him to get off because my brother was doing it to mess with me.

[Mr. X]

When does voting finish?

[Hallan Parva]

wait

I thought you said there were NINETEEN entries

not EIGHTEEN

what happened to the last map???

[Ivory]

Eon dropped out.

[Hallan Parva]

Lemme get this straight...

Eon had a FINISHED map that was already going to be processed...

... and he chicked out?



Oh, how is voting going to take place? Personally I have a few maps in mind that I'd love to see get into the core, but I don't think they have "best map" material. Maybe there could be a general "get into vanilla" vote, then a map from there is nominated as champion?

[Ivory]

Stay tuned for my next post.

Yes........ I saw the other maps and then i thought Wow! Mine is shit compared to this! so I told Ivory that i didn't feel my map was even good enough to be tested online.

Happy Voting. I'm looking forward to my inbox being spammed.

Can Mess host a server with all the competition wads? While Shade Guy's map is fresh in my mind, my memory seems somewhat fuzzy on Beed's map. I would to be able to play over all the maps again tomorrow, and I'm sure some folks want to enjoy these entries again.

[Ivory]

Mess and I have already discussed that, as soon as the current hosted server dies down, all wads will get hosted.
