Was going to make another FFA, but this
might workout for a tourney, though I'm going to have to learn a tad more on item weapon placement.

menu:
put a mapname.arena file into your pk3

/scripts folder:
Code: Select all
{
map "mapname"
bots "bot1 bot2 ..."
longname "Some fancy name"
fraglimit 10
timelimit 18 capturelimit 8
type "single ffa tourney ctf"
}
[edit] nm - you obviously allready know hot to do this as your last maps had done it right.

Code: Select all
{
map "q3brk2"
bots "ranger"
longname "WWWOOo"
fraglimit 20
type "tourney"
}
That's what I got, could I leak or something cause this. (AFAIK there is no leak...this has happend before but I can't recall what fixed it.)
edit: AHHHH do I
Have to have a timelimit?

At first a shot of my thoughts:
Now the explanation :]
- - First of all IMO the RA should be in a dangerous position, so move to the lowest floor perhaps.
- Then I would move the JP that pushes to the highest floor, like in the picture into the wall.
- RL up there.
- MH could replace the 50-ball, not a must, no idea if it works.
- The Shaft-tele is nice placed, perhaps some water down there, so you can here when someone wants to use the tele.
- In the end the are near YA seems unfinished, needs some more room interesting stuff.
- I also dont like the JP with the halfring around, perhaps some stairs would work better here( on the pic near SG
I think it could work for a tourney, I'm interested what others think.

EDIT {
map "q3brk2"
bots "ranger"
longname "WWWOOo"
fraglimit
"20
"
type "tourney"
}

sumatra - been playing around with what you suggested, flows much better...still trying to figure out what to do in the YA area. When I took out the "HalfRing" JP deal, I did the same thing on the lower platform you suggested to do on tier 2. (Seemed like a dead end once you hit the bottom...only one way up)...
Anyway, thanks for the tips...and maybe I can put the damn quotes in next time around. :icon32:

Few updated screens of the main room.
Guess I'm going to go with Evil Lair's Quake 2 Textures set.
Changed a few routes around but mostly been doing work on lighting, textures, and weapon/item placement.
Changes from last release
* moved RA to lower area.
* placed a JP on first
and second floor for easy access to the higher area.
* moved RL from third floor to second floor.
* removed the
halfring thing above the lower JP.
Some more to do, but it's still in the works.

the layout is quite nice. quite fun
-i think you should add some LOS blocking stuff to the long, open walkway next to the plat where the rl was in the alpha you posted (ya area)
- sumatra's suggestion of adding a megahealth is a good idea i think; might be to close to the ra though if there is a jumpad next to the ra.
- the lg room could be a bit more open; maybe add a drop to the left side just before the wall - coming from ra room?

Was wondering when you where gonna give it a run.
I'm not really unerstanding exaclty where you are talking about though, I've played around with it a bit...but could you give me a better clue on where you think would work best?
You talking about open the whole area down there to connect the two...or just a small hallway or what?
