Refinery by eXodus
Refinery Beta 2

A simple yet unique map design built for 3v3 or 4v4 CTF. An industrial theme is combined with the use of many colours.

Spawns are not yet in place, just a base spawn on each side. This is the second beta version and there are a few texture bugs.

Updates Beta2:
Middle is redesigned, powerup area and stairs.
All the stairs have been adjusted making them less steep.
Lots of little details added or improved.

ql needs a port from tfc's 2forts

<< Comment #12 @ 22:49 CST, 6 March 2014 >>

There are so many better maps to port...

It's interesting to think about, really. The game play is so different.
QL has really stiff and slow movement compared to TFC, but if you're given a long shot you can gain some good speed.

Bloodtube and Hellion I think would work.
What about Torch2 for some reverse CTF?

bloodtube would never work without concs, such a weird map.

altho removing the huge yard from monkey_l (or at least making it NOT a rail fest) would be amazing
just imagine playing T with an RL, RG, SG, and LG. mmmmm

Yea, the gap between bases is the most troublesome. Bloodtube would be interesting because of the tube itself I think. A Quake player could strafe jump from base to base pretty dang fast.

Link still doesn't work here.

Is this Q3 or QL btw?

<< Comment #8 @ 17:05 CST, 6 March 2014 >>

Ye i moved the file so it stopped workeing, fixed it now.

It's QL just put it in the baseq3 folder where all the other pk3's are.

That's a pretty nice small simple fast map, I would play it as it is. I'm not a big fan of stairs in QL though, because of the infamous stairsbug. I'll test it more deeply when I can.

What is this stairsbug about? It feels better to run up the stairs in QL than in Q3, it was easier to miss the jump and get to 320 ups in Q3. Or are you referring to splash damage?

<< Comment #13 @ 05:13 CST, 7 March 2014 >>

me - Reply to #11

The splash bug, yes.

My personal record is 3 in a row around the RA zone on t7. 0 dmg instead of ~250, very nice :>

I have been thinking of a redesign of the mid stairs area, and perhaps the entire middle section of the mid (pu). Even with the stairs damage bug I think it's still the best option, ramps don't look as nice and can fuck up movement. Jumppads are just too slow and make you too vulnerable.

all the stairs are too steep

True, fixing them making them a little less steep (25 & 33.3%).

<< Comment #16 @ 14:02 CST, 7 March 2014 >>

palatka - Reply to #15

also the huddle in the middle is too high

<< Comment #19 @ 14:57 CST, 7 March 2014 >>

By

[eXodus] - Reply to #16

That height is there to provide what little cover there is in the middle, however I've already made a few changes to the height of the ground floor and made adjustments to the ways of getting up easier. Thanks for your feedback!

palatka - Reply to #19

okay, just thought as jumping over it caused you to bounce vertically and loose all your spead, and mid being that open...

<< Comment #21 @ 15:07 CST, 7 March 2014 >>

By

[eXodus] - Reply to #20

Ye, I'm looking for a way to make mid less open as well I've changed the middle platform already and I think I'll be able to think of a good solution.

okay then. scheduled to be released in ql, never? :DDDDD

<< Comment #25 @ 03:50 CST, 8 March 2014 >>

No idea, Syncerror told me he liked the map a couple of weeks ago, so who knows it might get released into QL some day.

Stairs are better.

You can get a bit stuck here, probably because of the ladder:

You could add a Pillbox-like roof here, and replace the 25 health with something sexier (RA?):

What about a giant glass here, so you could see what's going on @mid a bit earlier?

I will have to fine tune the ladder yes

Roof I will take a look at, red I'm not so sure about :)

I like that idea of adding a window of some sort, I will check that out!

Thanks!
