this is a good idea, and by that i mean the layout. I like that you can take a direct path or since you get rifles in the start you can use them to take a detour around the whole map for a secret attack.. However the blocks don't help the theme since you didn't even use the guacamole textures. You used the default ones.. Ohh right you said I should make my own .cfg file for this? That should be included in the zip because... People shouldn't have to add their own content to your work to make it work properly, you should take care of it all :P

Nevertheless I don't know about the pure blocks used in something like this. If you don't jump perfectly you can't rely on a slanted edge so you'll just fall into the lava which can get really annoying.

3/5 i like the layout, but i hate blocks lol. you can keep it that way if you want to but lava has an evil image and you can't use "cartoony" in the same map, it doesn't work...

Hey mrpiddly,

I love your map. I was also a bit confused at first because I got the default textures but once I installed the avocado ones, I thought "Wow looks cool!"

I love the concept and no you shouldn't believe anyone who tells you to do one more "realistic looking dark and gloomy map". I think you made a good use of the texture, I really like it.

One stuff is that the lava is the only "realistic" texture you have in there and I thought it wasn't cartoonist enough. Hopefully Quin's texture will help.

Gameplay: I like the fact there are different paths and that we can rocket-jump on the "walls" surrounding the map. Also, I love the jumppad in the middle with the quad. It's really cool.

However, there is one stuff that annoys me regarding the "islands" that come out of the lava and on which we are jumping to cross the map. Some parts of these islands are clipped (the bottom of them) and there is no way to see which blocks are and which one aren't. Of course, as super good players we all are, we are supposed to jump on top of the island but that's not always the case. I sometimes felt a bit cheated when I thought I was going to land on a solid block and ended up in lava. So, I suggest that either you remove the clips... or that you slightly change the color of the texture of the blocks that are clipped (e.g. ligher or darker grey) so that people know where they are going. I hope what I'm saying make sense. :-)

Overall I think it's a great map and I would be happy to play it. I give you a 5. Actually, I was going to give you a 4 because of the clipped blocks and of the lava texture (and because I'm a f**** perfectionist even thought I'm not able to map myself...) but since you want to improve the map further, I know the end product will be excellent.
Keep it up!
Kdo

Great map!

5/5

I really enjoyed your map, especially the bit in the center (great detail work!). I am actually quite taken with the "cartoon doom" style, I think it's pure awesome.

Email me any changes that I need to make to mthe alt_package.cfg to help your map out and I'll make them happen, I'd love to assist in any way I can. :D

admin: let's not have personal attacks; if you have an issue you can bring it up civilly.

srry, but its gives the error: could not read "packages/aard/boxtex/alt_packages.cfg". even if u would make "packages/aard/boxtex/package.cfg of it, then u get seen blue textured parts in the map. maybe u should fix that?

nice map, but its gonna be played hard cause you always have to jump above these rocks to go to the other base.. that makes it easy for snipers

but well. good job, ^^

I don't dislike the blocks, but I can't help but to run around and think of how awesome it would look if everything was more lava stones than blocks. I know every other map uses stone, but ah well, if part of your goal was to stand out, mission accomplished.

It's really fun to hop around in single player, but I *think* that in a multiplayer setting, that players hopping on the stones would be a field day for snipers.

As far as the other map features go, I like the design of the bases with the little gardens, and I think the center volcano is the best jump pad design that I've ever seen.

Wow, what a great map! I can't really give input, so I'll just say that this looks like it came straight from TF2!

Awesome map. :)
Suggestions: Change the clippiness of the blocks on the lava in some way to show if you are going to land on them or not, reduce the amount of riflerounds for the sake of the other players, and maybe change the texture of the outer wall (it doesn't go with the rest of the map imo).
Otherwise, this map has a great layout and a more creative use of the avocado theme then avocado itself. Nice job!

The only downside was the (no)clip-spam. I understand adding the red-clip stuff at some places, but the noclip really dtracted from the map. =[ Still, this is, in essence, my dream map, so 5/5.

Also, maybe copy the alt_package.cfg and post it as an attachment to this map?
