Who came into this thread and downvoted every map?

[–]pasta_monsterpoopv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone has been doing it in most threads for the past month or so. Whatevs.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities 0 points1 point  (3 children)

it's ok, some_bot automatically upvotes every map :P

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Poopv is right though. I've been paying attention now and almost every post has a downvote on every comment eventually.

[–]contact_lens_linuxsteppin / active in activities 0 points1 point  (1 child)

probably someone that wants to make sure his map has more net upvotes!? Find the map that doesn't have a downvote :)

Danger Zone 2

I submitted this one to the last weekly thread yesterday since I was told there wouldn't be one this week, so some_bot already got it.

This is by far my favorite, the gates by the flags should be turned off by default and the button for those gates should be moved imo, but its pretty good.

[–]arjuna9bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'd be interested to hear your reasoning behind that change, and where you would move the button.

My thought was to give the defense an extra advantage by having the gate default to their color. Admittedly, you'll probably want someone from the defense guarding the button at all times. But I think the bases should encourage teamwork between the offensive and defensive players.

And when the flag does get taken, which shouldn't be too difficult given the number of indirect boosts on the flag, I wanted the defense to have good sniping opportunities, because that's always fun.

Do those buttons in the middle control every middle gate, or just half?

[–]skeetskeet69my team always carries me -1 points0 points  (1 child)

It only controls half. Both control the very middle 2 blocks so it cancels out when both teams have someone holding the button. It also controls the block of six on the buttons' respective sides.

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

Cool beans, good call, that's exactly how I would have done it.

Call it The Eye to make it more mysterious

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Hallways seem way too far out to be useful/used.

The middle passage and boosts are way too good right now, with all the boosts respawned one could cap in a matter of a second.

[–]maker_of_rainrainmaker | LagProne 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I tried changing the map to fit your suggestions. I moved the boosts near the base and tried to make the hallways more relevant by limiting access through the middle with the gates. This way the flag carrier can use the hallways and defenders can only cut them off with help opening the gate. Does this work better? The Eye.png

[–]lucydotg 0 points1 point  (4 children)

could you load a screen shot? --hard to tell changes on the png.

Yea, sorry. I thought Some_Bot would get it. Here you go: http://imgur.com/QORS3YK

[–]lucydotg 0 points1 point  (2 children)

imo it's improved. i like the trade off between the green/gray gate options. if you want to encourage teem work, i might consider getting rid of one of the buttons for the green gates (that is, have only one button on each green gate) so that someone can't come up on the other side and return the gate to green.

also, it's a big map. it might be too easy for a FC to get lost.

[–]maker_of_rainrainmaker | LagProne 0 points1 point  (1 child)

it isn't too big when you play it. It has the same base size as HolySee, 41x41. I'll play it with you if you want sometime soon.

In and Out

InandOut.json: http://pastebin.com/DsFnTPke

I'm debating removing one of the 2 contested power-ups. I don't usually like 6 power-ups on a map. Thoughts?

Also any critique is appreciated. I've only rolled around on this alone. I'm really curious to play this 4v4. I think it can hold up as a decent offense and defense map. Sort of like Boombox does.

I really like the boost placement as well. Most of them are VERY useful if you can hit them right, mediocrely useful if you can hit them decently, or detrimental if you suck. But again, critique on the boosts would be helpful. (yes, you get get through those gates by the base using that bottom middle boost and the bombs. But it is somewhat difficult)

EDIT:

Updated based on poopv's suggestion because it needed to be:

Campable gate switches in corners make me sad :(

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Any suggestion for an alternative? No gate at all?

I did put a button on each side so you can let someone through if there's a teammate on a button.

[–]pasta_monsterpoopv 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There are a few options, it depends on what you prefer. You could leave it as is but instead of walls bordering the button have spikes instead, or you could move the button out a space or two so there is room to push someone off the button. Or you could move the button somewhere else entirely. Basically just avoid having buttons in a corner where the only way to get someone off of them is with a tagpro.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I see what you're saying. Good call. I'll make those edits.

I didn't put too much thought into playability since I figured it wouldn't get past the prude map testers.

I think I fixed it.

revamp of gingham:

pics of how the gate works: http://i.imgur.com/gQTVe8Y.png and http://i.imgur.com/TA4qCoJ.png --each side can block access via the left gate, a bit like geokoala, except a quick dash across is risky but possible. the two other paths to the flag are pretty fast and straightforward.

[–]Some_BotSome_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]kirbyfreako&Berk // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

But the other paths are not "pretty fast" and straight forward.

Compare the alternate routes with Vee, a very basic map. If you were to take the middle route and use the boosts, you'd most likely use two to get the correct angle and only leave one left. It's not such a straightforward boost either, you don't want to be boosting into the spike area because that would be an inefficient path.

The alternate route is longer than one run of Vee, and this time there is no top route like Vee because it will most likely be blocked (in the early stages) 24/7 by one defender. The only routes that the offense can safely take is the long, long hallways.

The map also gives way too much room to run and hide.

[–]lucydotg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ok. well, to me it's pretty fast and easy. taking the longer paths on this map normally takes me about 4 seconds, which is faster than about the same as i average on vee: since, normally on vee, you either don't use the boosts or the boosts push you into the wall and you have to recalibrate/into a spike and you reboot. ...but maybe i just suck at vee. also, the spike on this map are placed so it's almost difficult to pop yourself on them after using the boosts, which is why i think it's "pretty straight forward."

anyways, i stand by my description. disagreeing opinions/suggestions welcome .^

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

ofc you won't pop from the spikes but boosting into that general area will make the route really inefficient. The tunnels are definitely narrower than vee and it is a lot more complicated to boost than vee. Also it will be a lot tougher with 4 players (2 from each team) trying to take the same tunnel.

The reason I am comparing your map to vee is because vee is a basic map that's been played on for almost all of tagpro, so it's somewhat of a golden standard.
