Detailed description

Hello guys,

this is my new ctf map. Pls leave comments and give me feedback!

Gangler

Update 1 (14th July 2020): ladder and stair fixes and many other little improvements all made by Razgriz.
Update 2 (15th July 2020): grid instead of water death pit. optimized gridsize. no-clipped the edges. darned holes. nicer borders and some more little tweaks. This time I had help from Razgriz, Crap Im Dead and Akari.
Update 3 (19th July 2020): With the help from Gergerly I could solve the fps problem! For the bottom area Im using now map models instead of water material. It works perfectly. Big big ty for your help! Ty 7yearbitch for your tip that I used too many different water levels. Now there are only 2 Little water levels left! Also I added sounds, I fixed some errors, I changed some little things and I used blendmap for the desert. More Feedback is welcome!!
Update 4 (22th July 2020): I got a really awesome ladder mapmodel from Georgely. I also had to fix the "small" ladder because on one side you easily got stuck. I also found some minor mistakes which I now fixed. I feel bad because the map already got included 2 days ago but the map should be fine now. I will change the "Release Status" in "Final Release" now.
Update 5 (13th August 2020): After I thought that I finished the map on 22th July I have to admit that I found bugs over bugs and fixed hundred of things.
Thanks goes to Fatality who helped me with awesome texture fixes, new walls and a brand new Jumppad. Also I fixed the minimap, I fixed the ladders, I solved the "stuck"- problem. I impoved the base (ladder instead of ramps, new columns), I also improved the bottom (new ramp, new wall, etc) and fixed clipping bugs. I dont remember all the changes but I worked nearly every day since the last update. So this update is huge!
Update 6 (26th October 2020): frosty found a texture error. I fixed it. Also I shifted the railings a bit so nobody will bump at it if you jump up with grenade jumps.
Update 7 (9th November 2020): I reduced the waterfall sound from 60 to 30 and fixed a little bug. Also I decided that the flag shouldnt fall through the grid, so I have changed it too

I checked the map, layout is good and I think we should test it on some mix if you bully enough fraggers into downloading it. As for low FPS, you have too many water planes (water material on different height). Since you can't make proper waterfalls in Sauerbraten without mapmodels and particles, I suggest you to ditch the water idea for some /vscrolled texture.

It'll both increase FPS, and "waterfall" effect will be easier to make. I noticed that I have no textures on the map, while I have it on Waltz (also pk02 map), so idk if it's Quadro vs Sauerworld texture packaging...

I hope we'll playtest this soon :P

Nothing wrong with the packaging, it's a pebkac issue here :P

Huhu nice to see another map by you :).

My first impression is that it is another good perfect size map for competitive games, so that is the first plus for me. There are also no problems with the lighting imo, maybe a bit simple but better that than unnatural and distracting. For the most part the texturing is good. There are a few places that I think could use some better texturing work though, and I think the blue floor doesn't really fit the theme. There is also the ladder spot; that path kind of feels disconnected from the map and seems like you have to go out of the way to go up it, but I guess it makes sense since it takes you to the upper level. Still feels a little weird though.
Overall it's a good map to me, the layout and flow and size are all great. Good job once again :)

i give you a 9/10 just based on the screenshot, i am too lazy to download the map, just like you were too lazy to use a good map name
