make it more like ztn

Just want to remind everyone reading this thread that every community map could some day become a QL map, especially if it does well in a MSG competition.

I would like to see a map where RA and MH are on the total opossite sides of the map, but you can see and shoot across the map to spam each other, but you cant get to to each other in a fast way, like separating them with 2 windows or something.

Or if you would make them on 2 different levels, make a bridge that can be shot though. Making them more difficult to grab them.

Also a YA in mid would be nice and top/low Green Armors, so if you want to grab a big item you will have to get hurt to take it.

Buster, I think you slightly misunderstood the purpose of this thread, but if you have ideas for maps, why not put them into practice. No one is going to make maps for you, its hard enough just trying to get someone to play a map and give you some feedback.

Complete re-scale complete!
Map is now around 60% of its previous size, many areas redesigned and teleporters and jump pads added to speed up the gameplay.
There is a new teleporter based on the Hub (Aerowalk) style RA ledge that allow you to escape from the megahealth pit. You can strafe jump it from a stand still on the floor in front of it. Its about the same distance as the jump to RA on ZTN, and not as long as the RA jump on Hub which its based on. Beware that you dont miss the jump though, or you will have to fight your way back out again!

I've also included a Takeshi's Castle style water trap below the outer YA. There is a teleporter in the Rail room that allow you to escape if you get trapped on the upper ledges that dumps you outside in the water trap. It gets you out of immediate danger, but not for free. If u escape, it gives the opponent a little time to get after you!

Huge thanks to AEon, Kaustic, PJ & his friend for all the help and feedback so far. Here is the new .pk3:

nice colors. keep it up. better, upload here to test it. and keep it light, maps with fps drops blow

Its a Q3A .pk3 guys, I don't thank that will work with QL.
Put it in your 'Quake III Arena>baseq3' folder and its selectable from the menu.
To test it with friends, you should be able to start a new multiplayer server, then connect from another machine using command /connect destination_ip_address in console

If any duelers could test and save a demo of their matches that would be great.

/home/user/.quakelive/quakelive/baseq3
+ console: /map cray3t1a15 should work in ql.

I ran around for a bit the rail room has great potential and the upper map has decent flow, the basement I'm a bit confused by I would give strong consideration of removing it the upper map is just too strong.

Thanks Mario. I've expanded even more on the rail room which you'll see in the next release.
The basement area is actually very simple. Its just a long triangle with an exit at each corner (2 jump pads & 1 teleporter). Having two of the power items (RA an Rocket) in this lower area you have to drop down into means you have to control two areas and gives the losing player more opportunities to come back. If everything was in the upper areas, a player could build unstoppable momentum and just run away with the game. In this way its comparable to DM13.

Real sorry to say guys that I won't be able to make the deadline.. (Aug 31st)
I had about a week taken out of the time I thought I had left to finish the map due to unforeseen irl commitments.
I am still going to finish the map, and I hope some of you guys will still check it out when its done. Real sorry to AEon, Kaustic and other various people from irc etc who have helped me so far. If I had an extra week I could have made it..
Soz guys.

Take it easy. Life comes first, hope everything is alright!

I like how that 25 health bubble is in such a vulnarable spot. Should at least make it a 50 tho, because it doesn't worth the risk to go for such small health and get destroyed.

want the map, give link

Thanks for the replies guys. Still working on it, glad in a way I not locked in by the deadline becuase I'd have never got it to a point I was happy with:
