so, i'm making a map...

you guys might be interested. it's an orange map, mostly because i don't have the time for props and whatnot, but i'm making it like a gladiator arena.


each stage is different. one will be cp, one will be payload race, once will be ctf, one will be deathmatch, etc... the map is very small, short respawn times as well. each round is meant to take between 2 and 5 minutes long, with 7 rounds. each round takes place in an identical arena except for the stuff in the middle (spawn, outside, skybox all the same) so it looks like the fighting area changes and not like the player is actually moving from place to place.

right now it's in pre-alpha stage, but i'm looking for some tips and ideas to make this thing work. tell me what you want to see come out of this.

Sounds like fun. If you need peopel to test it on just contact me and if you need a server I'm sure the pug server will be there for you.

Sounds like work, and work means fun! If you need any help doing somthing, i can help map

well, i've got the geometric part of it under control, i just need help with the hard part, the gameflow part. there are prefabs out there for all the game types where you just have to drag and drop the points and whatnot, but i'm not sure how to put multiple game types together. i've seen it done before, i just don't know how it's done.

by the way, do you know which material to use if you want it to stop bullets but not players?

I'll just add on you steam, continue with map idea's

first game mode done and functional, payload race:


this is what it looks like empty:

It's looking good so far. I like the idea a lot.
Is it possible to have the matches in a random order?

the bombs would collide and freeze the map if they got there at the same time.

maybe, i'd have to talk to some people about it though, i don't have the know-how yet.

You can't have them no-collide? You definitely couldn't have both of the bombs cap at the same time, because the presence of players prevents the bomb from moving.

Very nice work, dude!

looks great, man!

got capture the flag done today, i'm not too happy with the design though, a bit too crowded feeling despite the wide open spaces. it two-tiered, wide open up top, not so much down below. i'm still working on the lighting, but it's functional.

Looks pretty dark, but you said you're working on that. Where are the flags at?

they are at the top of each base, under that covered area.

like i said, not to happy with the design. but i don't want it to be a steam roll every time, had to make it a bit more dificult.

i did king of the hill today, it looks epic. not sure how it will turn out gameplay wise though.

Can't wait to try these maps on the stock server

Yes we have 3 clanmembers making maps now (did i forget anyone?): Tendo, Adam and Hyce.

So maybe our private server will become a custom pulp map server???

so i made soccer, only i didn't feel like i had any idea what i was doing at all throughout the whole process. i would appreciate it if you guys downloaded it and stress-tested it a bit. you know, look for glitches and holes and stuff.
