Topic: [MAPs] Fat_Sloth's maps (Vanilla)

In order to get more feedback to my vanilla-game-type-maps without bumping up my old thread I start this second Thread. Here I am going to upload all my DM, TDM and CTF maps. These maps also might be played, using the Instagib-mod.

CTF:
ctf_edge.map v1.2
Over-View
An unsymmetrical 4on4 CTF map with an open ground. The unsymmetrical design gives advantages and disadvantages to each team. To fight as efficient as possible you need to use the advantages of your side. The map has advanced movement and requires much tactic and skill.
By now, I was not able to do any test-matches on this map. That is why it would very happy if anybody who likes to host this map contacts me.

Re: [MAPs] Fat_Sloth's maps (Vanilla)

Love unconventional map-styles, thought the shadows are confusing wink

Map looks good, however i didnt test it yet.
Could you explain the placement of the pickups on the top? oO

Thank you wink

The items on the top are three shields on top of one sniper-rifle. I put these items there because I think in an open map like this the sniper-rifle is an extremely powerful weapon. The only way to get it is by doing a rocket-jump which takes you the 3 hp that you get back on the platform. Also, you can use this little stage for protection if you have the flag.

Yeah, its the only critism i could find so far. Its a possible camp-position sad
Maybe build a second way up or remove it. You could change the ninja-powerup with 1 rifle.

Pretty good point. I changed this detail. I removed the little stages with the rifle and replaced the katana by one rifle and three shields!
I also made the pickups more balanced and added some shadows in the middle.
here you go:
ctf_edge.map v1.2

Re: [MAPs] Fat_Sloth's maps (Vanilla)

I really love this map! [+] I feel like many parts are pro but it being non-symmetrical can't let it be official. But at the same time, I also like that about the map. One thing I'd be very careful of is to be very sure that the map has equal pros and cons so it's truly balanced like a mirrored map. And, I'd like to make a request. I've made a map with a simular sky as yours and I'd like the permission to keep it that way since your map inspired my background. smile

Give others the respect you wish to be respected with. In the mean time, enjoy the website!

Re: [MAPs] Fat_Sloth's maps (Vanilla)

I really enjoy playing on this map. I love the background and how the sides are different. If you get your grenade launch right you can get from one side to the other pretty fast... big_smile

Just for your information, I have this map on both my CTF and iCTF server. You might have to go into the "Call Vote/Change Settings and vote for "Change map to Edge":

Of curse you can use a simular background as mine, you can even copy it if you want!

Thank you for hosting my map. I already checked out your servers, but as i live in Europe, these are way too laggy for me.
