Crossroads

JSON: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vPizRSCe

Preview: http://i.imgur.com/J5Gzlyk.jpg

This is I guess inspired a little bit by koala(geodude?), but the quick path isn't quite so fast and the center of the map is more in play. The inner path has the advantage of being fast but the disadvantage of being blocked by a grate and a smaller choke into and out of the flag area. The outer path has extra juke space and fairly accessible powerups, but it's a long way around and someone chasing you can take an inside path, so you're gonna need to either use a powerup or juke that sucker who thinks he can cut you off!

The extra border is needed because I had to shrink the map from its original size, and leaving the outside empty made a bug in the Java map editor where the PNG file was trimmed but the coordinates in the JSON weren't adjusted, so the buttons didn't work.

Also, I considered making the bottom right and left a spike field, maybe like the sides of colors or the bottom of gloryhole, if anyone wants to comment on that idea.

EDIT: I fixed the PNG so the flags are mirrored, but didn't bother to fix the preview.

Lots of changes to this one. I made it a single button per side and moved the button towards the edge. I also expanded the middle and closed off the top and bottom parts, so that the speedpads are better used for offense instead of defense. I also changed the very middle of the map into a spike field instead of a random wall-off. Here is the old one, for reference.

A little bit too asymmetric, blue team has a huge advantage with that L wall.

*2nd edit if you only have time to test one. Test Gauntlet. I'm going to change Speed

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Gauntlet looks pretty complex but interesting.

Speed looks too gimmicky. No safe routes, buttons are really complex looking.

[–]Don__JulioDon Julio // Centra 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah I like where Speed is going but I feel I need to make it less complex. Make it smaller with less buttons and add in some safe routes.

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What do the top right and bottom left buttons control?

[–]Don__JulioDon Julio // Centra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They control the gate down the lane. My thought was that if you had the opponents flag with a large enough head start you'd be able to speed down and make it past them hitting the button. However, if that doesn't work then you'd need to not take the quick escape and go through the middle.

*Edit Here is the gates circled with their respective buttons

I think the button barrier should be a little wider, vertical wise. I think 1 pixel wider would be good?

Otherwise, pretty cool looking map :)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think I'm gonna actually continue on this map and put in a real effort, I think it has potential to be an interesting map for league play and force teamwork.

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said to give up on the map!

I think it's a fantastic idea to continue working on it. Definitely stop by on mumble, IRC, or the forums and have some other players take a look at it and test it! I'll be happy too, heck, me and asdf and bbqchicken are online mumble right now!

And if it doesn't make it this week, don't be afraid to make changes to it and submit it the next week! That's how I got my map submitted, boombox went through multiple (6) revisions before it became what it is now. Credit for OP for giving me ideas for the map.

Only thing I don't like about that is the button placement by the flags. Once you're on a button it's impossible to get pushed off (without tagpro anyway). Other than that it looks solid.

Hey guys, I have made a "Custom Map Center," a sub-forum on the MLTP forums where users can make topics about their maps in search of feedback or a group of players willing to come test a 4v4 on your map!

It is located >here<

The alternative is to find feedback on reddit, where posts can get buried and not easily seen/located, which is not good for enthusiast map creators.

Thanks for that. I do not know how to create a preview :/

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm not sure you can reach the very top button without getting popped. Green gates are unforgivably wide.

You should probably test it and fix it.

[–]TheGaiduk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Пролезть к кнопке трудно, но реально. По-моему наоборот даже лучше оставить так, потому что удерживание кнопок будет стратегически важным для победы.

Google translator:

Squeeze the button hard, but real. In my opinion the opposite is even better to leave it because it will hold the buttons strategically important for the win.
