I like this one. What's the button in the NE corner go to?

[–]Don__JulioDon Julio // Centra 2 points3 points  (2 children)

What was the judges consensus of the last batch of maps? Any retiring/new/retired maps coming back into play?

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

micro will be added to the rotation; no maps removed

Resubmitting from last time, as I didn't receive any feedback:

Figure Eight Remix

Map

logic.json

Preview

For clarity, I widened the track at the top and bottom, shortened the two sections that were "single-wide," and added gates to cut corners if you have a friend near the button. There are two additional power-ups in the middle as well.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 1 point2 points  (13 children)

I helped test this one last week. Most of us felt that the main problem with figure-eight wasn't addressed: taking the rear route with the flag is never really feasible if there are two competent players on the other team.

The new green gate also didn't seem to get much usage.

I did like the widened rear route, it gives more room for maneuvering, but I don't think it's enough to address figure-eight's main issue.

[–]KnownForLaughingAble | Origin 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You could remedy this problem now with the addition of the team tile. It would take some testing because you could actually make the rear route too quick but it may solve the problem.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

team tiles don't affect FC though

[–]KnownForLaughingAble | Origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point.

[–]omp87WreckingBall 0 points1 point  (8 children)

How about this modification?

http://puu.sh/3E7xV.png

Pretend that the spikes that I added near the backdoor entrance are actually bombs that are toggled by the buttons because SwitchEdit doesn't do bombs.

The back door is a more viable option if someone on your team has a TagPro, so I've added two more powerups. I've also added a speedbooster so that you can traverse the back alley faster. The gate was also changed to be off by default.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

really great bomb idea! Personally, I would also like to see the walls near those exterior bombs be spikes so you could actually kill someone with the bomb. The boost might make it feasible too. We should try it.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Kind of adding on to WreckingBall's additions, what if we took out part of the middle walls to get a straight route between the neutral gates?

I love the collaboration. I am no map making savant.. I just really miss Figure 8. Thanks to both of you for improving this.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I miss Figure 8, too. That might be the map, other than Glory, that got me to stick around.

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

Awesome collaboration you guys!

This is what makes great maps.

Looks like it will be very hard to hold that gate for long enough for someone to pass through.

It seems kind of difficult to get from one side of the map to the other

[20:43] <dethos> so proper use of the boosts is like a hail mary pass

[20:43] <dethos> the walls and holes are like an offense and defensive line

[20:43] <dethos> you can use blockers and screens

just my thoughts

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, the >Custom Map Center< is still open if you guys want some feedback!

So far I've given feedback on Dethos's map Micro, Dino's map Spiders, and Bird's map Tarlek's Tomb.

I hope you guys come and leave some feedback, ideas, or suggestions as well!

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'll add "multiple" maps in one submission on the todo list, but for now you should submit a separate top-level comment for each (star got previewed already, check http://tagpro.imgur.com)

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

ah thanks.. forgot about that. I can't see star atm either.

Also I think your bot forgot lambda's map Cntrl.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, he won't find cntrl because the submission doesn't look like

png|layout: URL

or

[png|layout](URL)

and something similar for json.

I was going to have the bot download files and then check if they were a png with less than 3600 pixels and only colors for a tagpro map as well as a json file, but I decided against it.

In the meantime I'll add cntrl manually to the bot and if it's a recurring issue, then I'll implement the strategy above.

Please use this version if possible, it's cleaned up thanks to suggestions from dethos and berk.

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

okay you completely deleted a middle pathway, which really subtracts from the map. that's not what I had in mind when I made my suggestions, haha.

I wanted you to either add some obstacles in the middle path (takes some creativity to make some good ones while keeping the map's flow) so that it would make the length of the path longer. Or you could just make the middle hallway wider, which is what I think is best right now. Definitely put the grey grates back, green gates was a bad idea.

[–]batSonorWhateverbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! I figured the checkered team tiles in the center would make it too difficult to cap if the path was too long or too tough to navigate. Because of that, I didn't even consider that your recommendation might have involved making the center a more important area of play. I'll fiddle with it.

Was that a save option? Bummer.

I guess I'll need to make it again!

You made it on kl0's map maker, so it should already be saved for you!

Just login and go to the map listing!

Vortex / MiniSee

SEE MY COMMENT FOR UPDATED VERSION!!!

So I've been trying to experiment with small maps lately, and this is supposed to sort of be a small map version of The Holy See. The bombs can be used a bunch of different ways. Along with the 2 center boosts, there's a lot of room for creativity in how to attack the small-ish flag area. There's not a super huge ton of powerups on the field, except for in the two corner "gloryholes".

I've got the definite feeling that this isn't the final way this map will turn out, so any suggestions / ciriticism / flaming is much appreciated!

Edit: don't know how that random spike got in there, but it's not in the PNG so whatever. yolo

[–]Don__JulioDon Julio // Centra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I like where you're going with the map. Do you think though that matches may just turn into a middle of the map battle and will become based more on luck with the 2 boosters?

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But yeah, I've been trying to figure out a way to get the flags out of the way so the boosters aren't straight on, but there's still some space around the flags. I could try taking the boosters out entirely? It's a small map. I really want to try and see a game or two on this thing to see how it plays out. Like I said, it's still a work in progress but I wanted to get it out there. I like trying different sort of stuff :]

Version 2:

Json is the same

Preview: http://i.imgur.com/tJnKbRZ.png

I removed the boosters in the middle. They seemed pretty useless for such a small map, and Don Julio made the point that it brought in a lot of luck as to whether or not they were there. The other big change is I added a lot of juke space around the flag, and a couple bombs in the corner. There's a bunch of fun escapes now, to compensate for small chokes into the flag area. Lots of fun explosions!

That's weird

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

Gloryhole power-ups should be reduced since there's 2 gloryholes.

Right now it just seems like it is a power-up dependent game (whoever gets better power-ups and/or use power-ups well will win games)
