[Map:Beta] MP-Dash

This map seems pretty cool, thanks TseTse! I cant wait to see your finishing touches, and I also cant wait to see your other maps!

An idea for the flag stand - I like he midair concept over a valley, but you mentioned a very cool idea with the platforms for the HOFs to stand on. Why not make the flag stand layered? add a second level to the stand about 5 ft lower for turrets/HOF. This way, there is some room around the stand for an inv and some turrets.

That's the idea, to perhaps duplicate the floating pad, up a bit and off to the side.

I'm not set on doing it, but it seems like it might work. I will wait till i see the gameplay first before adding it.

Flagstands on rovers? Bah. You want difficult? Put the flagstand on a floating platform that moves up and down. 3/4 the time it's underwater in some lake, 1/4 it's above the water. That'd make for interesting cap runs.

I put it on Bomber Boys server.

say whut? :huh:

It's nice and open, gives chasers a chance, but it still seems crammed since you hit the OOB grid before even going out of sight of the bases.

This is the only complaint I have as well. Its fast...open...with lots of route choices...but it just seems to close. Not quite DX close but closer then Damnation...(At least it seems that way)

Fun map to run around on though. Keep up the work :)

Ski-unfriendly maps aren't very fun.

I don't follow. The poster you quoted is talking about the OOB being too tight. DX didn't have tight OOB in T2 as compared to Damnation that I recall, and it's got very wide OOB in it's beta 2 T:V incarnation. Are you saying the bases are too close to each other?

is oob grid built into the code like UT or is it removable.

its built in, IIRC. its size-adjustable, but required.

Great map.

Sorry ...yeah thats what I was talking about. It seemed cramped as in...the bases/flags are to close.

movers, as in bits of bsp or static mesh that move around
like elevators, or a moving flag stand

It's worth trying at least. Who knows if these 'movers' actually work or not unless you slap em in a map? Especially since T:V is not an exact clone of UT...

its UT with jetpacks.....duh. :o

it will work, but a little big of lag will eff them up big time

it's interesting how the T:V settings deal with landscape like this -

can't get good speed without very sharp small upturns in this game, speed doesnt last at all over a distance, and barely even accumulates... in practice this made heavies very powerful because they weren't missing anything, but lights were missing most of their manueverability and speed and getting clobbered

I think we'll definitely need a mod for maps like this for people who want to play with oldschool tribes play

one interesting plus is that the grappler becomes more useful on land that's very steep, it actually grabs for once, as opposed to all the breaks and difficulty on using it with less steep land for any good

How well does the map run. Im guessing (havent played it yet) that this map is considerably larger than the normal maps. Any FPS drops for something this big or does the Unreal Engine run it fine?
