[MAPS] T:V mappers cabal

UT2K4 ONS only had, what --- two good maps maybe? It had more maps than that, but only several good ones. I'm not sure it had eleven total ons maps.

I was playing UT99 last night and damn there are some brilliant maps. Brilliant (retail and user) maps that contain elements that are just dazzling. Somehow I had forgotten. (Like hyperblast. Something new and different for example).

I had forgotten the impact of maps of game impact.

Blastside. DX. Katabatic. Reversion (bite me :) ). Maps with character.

So, posters may be on to something. That is. If the mappers focus on maps in this category - although they are retarded and may not be up to it :( - and collectively create an "improved release mappack", all could be well.

You need to organize a T:V mappers cabal so you can coordinate, help each other, test and build an improved release mappack. One DL onetime to have playable maps for a long time.

Get organized and roll up your sleaves mappers.

Who do you want to head it? Santa? Mastergnr?

ZenTse or whatever his name is should :P

3 of the maps u named blow in comp....

agreed, ZenTseTse is a fine choice

Imo remake of Snowblind would be awesome with T:V physics and gameplay. I dont want to see SH, or DX tho. But someone will make those anyway. :)

i dont want to see blastside with t:v shield pack, it just wont be fun. you wont last for a second inside the base since repairing is so easy.

I'd be willing to make original and fresh maps, but I could never find my way around the editors well enough, and T2's always crashed on me.

You want to start an argument and bury T:V or fix it Satan?

The maps named were named because they had 'character'. I said as much.

Lets make NEW maps for a NEW game :) . Maps with character.

ZenTseTse, say something. (Say I will. Say I have an IRC channel. Say all mappers report to the IRC channel). Give yourself until say Thanksgiving with a target of as many 'appropriate' maps as can be managed for the "improved release mappack". :)

Using tribes2maps as an example - the vast majority of those maps would suck in comp play. Let's get some new maps, yes, but please gear them towards competitive play. No teleporters, multiple switches, objectives, fps sucking eye-candy, etc. Some of the best maps are the simplest and the terrain is 50% of the equation.

Oh crap, its thanksgiving today :o

Make the command station in SB deploy catapults...

I was planning on doing some mapping myself, I had an interesting idea for a map, I'd like a place to compare it with other mappers ideas and maybe we could offer each other credible suggestions on how to improve these maps.

Id love to fix it jim but at least name good maps bud ;)

imho Damnation is the best tribes map ever.


(but thats just me)

I think some of the later T2 Classic maps would work pretty good in T:V :shrug:

It would be cool to see how they would play without shrike capping :)

crossfire, a late t2c map, would prolly work quite well in t:v.
