[q3a] final release of spirit3ctfduel1 - Where Fears Collide

[dichtfux]

My first CTF map is final.

The map was initially designed for the idea of a 1vs1 CFT mappack, but it has evolved a bit and can handle more than 2 players. I prefer 2vs2, but you have some real intense action at 3vs3. CPMA is recommended.

Nice man. I like what you did with the wall behind the RG. Feels more like a additional hall space now. The lower JP looks good now. I knew just where it was going to put me. No getting snaged or landing on the lights in the lower halls.

I know there were some complaints about the water near the LG, but I like it. It gives a bit of a slowdown if you want that health thus adds a bit more thought and urgency to the game play.

I still got snaged on those bars in front of the SG when jumping from the LP near the PG, but only some of the time. Most of the time I had a smoth landing that took me right through the bars and to the SG.

I like that you have to stay on your toes. The enemy was able to grab the flag right out from under my nose a few times. Cool.

All in all I would say you have a very fun CTF map there. Good work. :icon14:

I played with cpma bots for about 5 minutes and it was fun.
But bots never went for specific areas such as railgun and lower path from the base.

...and can I pack this map as one of the CTF-1on1 or duelctf maps?
Because both you and pjw targeted for cpma, I'm planing to rename the packname to "cpma-duelctf-mappack".
What do you think?

BTW, partial batch processing of mirix worked.
something like this

Code: Select all

path\to\mirix.exe full\path\to\*.mir /r

I'm planing to rename the packname to "cpma-duelctf-mappack

The official maps are named cpm* and cpma* so it would be better to avoid a name that could be confused with these.

[dichtfux]

Good to know you haven't abandoned the idea of the mappack. Will you really release it at the end of the year (as I think you said in the thread? Did anyone else announce to submit a map you're still waiting for elsewhere (like at another forum)?

About renaming it: Better avoid the the possible confusion as ix-ir suggested. A note on the readme that CPMA is recommended should be enough.

[a13n]

O.K.
Which do you think better of the following examples?
1. ucpma-duel-ctf-pack (u:unofficial)
2. duel-ctf-pack
3. compact-ctf-pack
4. tiny-ctf-pack
5. humble-ctf-pack
6. ctf-pack-4-quickies

Or do you have your own nomination?

@dichtfux
Currently total number of map is 6. (you x1 + pjw x1 + mine x4)
Plus I'm planing to remake one more map similar to silly shootings.
There is no space map at the moment.

[dichtfux]

On the name: I'd prefer "tiny-ctf-pack". I'd stay away from things like "ucpma-*".

There is no space map at the moment.

That's a great feature of this mappack imo.

[pjw]

duel-ctf-pack

Sounds good to me.

I'd avoid any use of "cpma".

[ix-ir]

q3tcp (tiny ctf pack) and number the maps q3tcp1, q3tcp2 etc. Or q3dctf (duel ctf) but keep it short so people can easily remember what to callvote.

[a13n]

Thank you for opinions.
Probably it will be named q3duelctfpack(q3dcpN for each map, following the famous convention, q3wcp as such).

[Magnus]

So you guys are making a pack of small CTF maps?

[dichtfux]

Yes, we are.

Have a look at >this thread< to get an idea of what we're talkign about.

btw: lol@your post and your sig. ;-)
