q3/QL map: Lost Hope beta1 by cityy (42 comments)

( Forum: Q3)

Posted by cityy @ 12:38 CST, 14 February 2011 - iMsg

Here we go:

The story:
Yesterday me and my team were attending an indoor football cup - it was great fun and I scored 2 goals. :cool: However, the bad thing about it is that I broke my ankle and got a ligament rupture. :D So here I am, unable to walk with a shitload of time - zing - perfect time to make a q3 map.

The map:
Hope is a small duel map consisting of 3 main areas with 2-3 height levels. The item layout is made up of 2 YAs, 1 GA and a MH (thus you will need cpma to play it). On the map you can find all weapons but the RG and the BFG.

The feedback:
- gameplay, gameplay, gameplay

The download:
Filesize: 8.2mb
beta1.zip: http://cityy.explicits.de/uploads/maps/lostho..._beta1.zip
beta1QL.zip (Quake Live): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15072710/losthope_beta1QL.zip

beta 1 - changes
- lower YA replaced with RA
- GL and upper RL swapped
- rough visual theme done except for RA room
alpha 4 - changes
- weapon layout changed again
- changed health placement
- redesigned high area of the lower YA
- enlarged dropdown

alpha 3 - changes
- item layout totally changed
- removed 1 pair of stairs from the old GL area
- enlarged old GA area
- minor changes

alpha 2 - changes
- map was renamed due to a conflict with another map
- curved staircase was replaced by a normal staircase
- MH lift removed/crates added

Updated the original post - alpha 2 is up with small changes. The map can now be played at germany.maverickservers.com:27961 (78.159.115.81:27961) (cpma 1.48). Let me know if anyone is interested although my ping is a little high there.

A few ideas I have and things that I noticed might make the map better for gameplay.

1. Replace GA with a weapon (SG or PG)
2. Replace YA with GA
3. Replace LG with YA
4. Replace hallway SG with LG
5. Make RG a "well trap" (ex. Courtyard Conundrum RA room) with a teleporter to lower MEGA (that makes it so anyone at GL or mega can trap that tele exit)
6. Make RA teleporter exit platform bigger by moving the adjacent wall back. Also make it so you don't automatically fall forward from that tele because you have to double-back in order to have that height advantage fighting for RA
7. Move current YA spawn so it is not seen from top of MEGA bounce. From the bounce pad you can guard or do damage on MEGA, RL, and YA, which shouldn't happen

Very good map, as always. The dark theme and colors go very well with the theme. Good luck on your map and hope that ankle gets better, if it hasn`t already.

BTW I am looking forward to when Inf... nah I`m not ruining the surprise... not here at least. ;)

Thanks whally and EmeraldTiger. The ankle has gotten better quite a bit.
I'm still working on this - school and lack of motivation are causing some slowdowns.

on a side node, mappers always show picmip 0 screen although the majority of players will never the the map that way ;)

Yeah, I actually play with picmip and vertexlight aswell. :E

I like the style, though graphically map is still very unfinished. There are few things I would change in the map anyway first and most important is that RA room should be wider, now fights will end up as hell of a spamfest cuz its so tight that one rocket may be your end even if it just slightly hits you.

Second improvement is marked here http://oi55.tinypic.com/34jboea.jpg make box, stairs or something to make it possible to move to upper stage more easily.

really nice map... but agree with Jum8o, map is still very unfinished! moar gfx! cuz, gameplay looks really great!

<< Comment #24 @ 07:49 CDT, 17 March 2011 >>

The map is indeed visually unfinished - I just didn't have much time/motivation to work on it lately as I said above.
I'm not quite sure about your suggestion regarding the RA area Jum8o. I felt like the size was alright - maybe some others can give an input on that aswell!? I might add a crate at the LG ammo - not sure if you noticed that you can hop onto the lamp there!?

Thanks for the input.
