[Awaiting Changes] Map Submission: CTF-FutureIslands

[GOODYSMOODY]

This map was built by vwbay72 and myself for about a week or two. The map has two main buildings, Blue and Red. There are a bunch of loating islands in between the two buildings where the battles will take place. There are four spawns for each team inside their main building. All the blocks should be opblock.
Some pictures:

Here is the upload code, it's in .dat format.

If you want to see any extra add ons or changes, than just tell me and I'll see what I can do.

Great map, love the middle. :D
A few tippies:
1. Remove the signs that say "blue" and "red" and replace them with a red/blue lining or something. It doesn't look good to have words, looks a bit amateur.
2. The bases look a bit bland floorwise, potentially make a few decorations (pretty much last picture is a bit flat).
3. It feels a LOT like Skylands if you know the map besides the base layout and the island config, maybe mix it up a bit like add an under layer and no gravity killing (dunno if that is there or not).

Aaaanyways, nice job vwbay and goody! :)

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

Well, most noobs don't figure out which team is which. The words are needed, there is no harm in keeping them (although it is the HCs choice).
There is gravity killing at the bottom, otherwise there is no point in making the islands.

If this is a CTF, where are the flags?
Also, the inside of the buildings are pretty bland, and flat.
And wouldn't it be pretty easy to spawn kill/ get kicked for spawn killing, since the spawns lead straight into an open area?
And the buildings aren't entirely symmetrical: the "passage" under the stairs in picture 4 isn't on the red side, and neither are the half blocks in picture 3, but that doesn't really make a difference.
But, I could tell you put hard work into this! Nice job!

The words are needed

If they were needed, wouldn't we have them on every single map currently in the server?

 

[smokingkills]

I can tell you have put a lot of work into it. But, to me, it looks too bland. It lacks something special. It's just a few bumps with two (Not very aesthetically pleasing) buildings. Also, as mentioned, it is very similar to a couple of other maps. Screenshot 4 is just a big empty room, and well, you get my point. I do not think this is up to the standard of the maps in the server currently.

 

[vwbay72]

Thanks for your honest opinion. Goody and I will make changes that will greatly help its look. Maybe even add to it. It just takes tweaks to get a good enough map.

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

True KS, so true. I didn't think of that.
Well, thanks for the advice. We have a new theme for it and I have began designing the project in preperation for the map. It should have more...feeling to it. It will have more buildings and the big buildings are being removed, ie being replaced with something better.
Again, thanks.

May I help?

 

[vwbay72]

May I help?

If you want to help that would be great! I can pm you when Goody and i are working on it.

I have completely changed the two main buildings. Looks eye appealing now and lively. I will post pics when i can. Only thing left is to decide where the spawns will be

 

[DJJonosound]

Looks great! I do reckon it could do with a bit more of that special something. Marnixxie will help you make it magical.

Heres the preview of the new buildings. We are still adding in spawns and such, so the link and more pictures should be up by tommorrow.

looks wayyyy better than it was

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

Yeah. I thought so too. Credit goes to vw for the majority of it.

 

[pjaj]

yeah, thats much better! :D

 

[Super_Goku]

I really like the new buildings but just like properu said where are the flags? I would like to see a screenshot of where they are.

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

I will upload more soon, just waiting to see vw online.

 

[Marnixxie]

Have been online, and did a little work.
What I suggest for now is finishing it.
I would like to see this editable in the tnt wars server, so I can touch it properly.
Like the map is not completely symmetrical, such a thing I want to fix.
But keep on going the good work ;3

Where's this map at now? Did we manage to get it into the server? Marnixxie Alkatraz

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

Has not yet been submitted, the new version that is.
I have not seen vw for a while. It should be done soon.

 

[Sephhh]

I like the newer version! Looks more original and creative.

 

[Dess]

Hmm another great map!

Combine these two posts and the changed title and there is your response smokingkills

 

[GOODYSMOODY]

I regret to say, I have not seen vw, and he has not made any spawn changes. If I see him soon enough, I'll resubmit. Until then this map won't be ready. Sorry for any problems.

If you look to the right of the red castle, you can see the flag.
